The Vishera Review: AMD FX-8350, FX-8320, FX-6300 and FX-4300 Testedby Anand Lal Shimpi on October 23, 2012 12:00 AM EST
Power Consumption
With Vishera, AMD was in a difficult position: it had to drive performance up without blowing through its 125W TDP. As the Piledriver cores were designed to do just that, Vishera benefitted. Remember that Piledriver was predominantly built to take this new architecture into mobile. I went through the details of what makes Piledriver different from its predecessor (Bulldozer) but at as far as power consumption is concerned, AMD moved to a different type of flip-flop in Piledriver that increased complexity on the design/timing end but decreased active power considerably. Basically, it made more work for AMD but resulted in a more power efficient chip without moving to a dramatically different architecture or new process node.
In mobile, AMD used these power saving gains to put Piledriver in mobile APUs, a place where Bulldozer never went. We saw this with Trinity, and surprisingly enough it managed to outperform the previous Llano generation APUs while improving battery life. On desktops however, AMD used the power savings offered by Piledriver to drive clock speeds up, thus increasing performance, without increasing power consumption. Since peak power didn't go up, overall power efficiency actually improves with Vishera over Zambezi. The chart below illustrates total system power consumption while running both passes of the x264 HD (5.0.1) benchmark to illustrate my point:
In the first pass Vishera actually draws a little less power, but once we get to the heavier second encode pass the two curves are mostly indistinguishable (Vishera still drops below Zambezi regularly). Vishera uses its extra frequency and IPC tweaks to complete the task sooner, and drive down to idle power levels, thus saving energy overall. The picture doesn't look as good though if we toss Ivy Bridge into the mix. Intel's 77W Core i5 3570K is targeted by AMD as the FX-8350's natural competitor. The 8350 is priced lower and actually outperforms the 3570K in this test, but it draws significantly more power:
The platforms aren't entirely comparable, but Intel maintains a huge power advantage over AMD. With the move to 22nm, Intel dropped power consumption over an already more power efficient Sandy Bridge CPU at 32nm. While Intel drove power consumption lower, AMD kept it constant and drove performance higher. Even if we look at the FX-8320 and toss Sandy Bridge into the mix, the situation doesn't change dramatically:
Sandy Bridge obviously consumes more than Ivy Bridge, but the gap between a Vishera and any of the two Intel platforms is significant. As I mentioned earlier however, this particular test runs quicker on Vishera however the test would have to be much longer in order to really give AMD the overall efficiency advantage.
If we look at average power over the course of the two x264 encode passes, the results back up what we've seen above:
As more client PCs move towards smaller form factors, power consumption may become just as important as the single threaded performance gap. For those building in large cases this shouldn't be a problem, but for small form factor systems you'll want to go Ivy Bridge.
Note that idle power consumption can be competitive, but will obviously vary depending on the motherboard used (the Crosshair Formula V is hardly the lowest power AM3+ board available):

Got my first AMD - Thursday, May 08, 2014 - linkI OC my 8320 to 4.7 GHz and only have to raise the voltage .0125 from stock. Why is it that you think AMD is worthless. They are all for the consumer and I am grateful for it. I'm really sick of your ignorance. Really sick of it. Reply
cbrown - Thursday, June 12, 2014 - linkWhat everyone will get "sick" of in a hurry is if AMD falls on its face with its "crap" cpu manufacturing... Intel will double their pricing on cpus again, same as they were during the time period AMD released it's "crap" slot athlon 500. AMD also has a decent gpu to fall back on since they bought ATI which was a smart move.
*AMD released Slot A Athlon 500 Intel slashed it's prices in half same day to match.
*If ATI hadn't stepped up to the plate and suceeded when nVidia bought 3dfx Everyone would be crying about the prices of gaming cards
*Sure AMD is lagging behind right now but never underestimate the importance of competition and the effect it has on affordable upgrades for everyone...
I love AMD for the pricing they have brought to us this day and time... with cpu's AND gpu's
I am fixing to build my FIRST intel platform since the since amd released the slot a athlon simply because I want a hackentosh... there is simply too much heartache building one on a AMD CPU/MOBO combo for the simple fact apple does not support them. I dont know if you would call me a amd fanboy or not, your opinion, I simply have supported a company that brought affordability to everyone.... I am either MAC (intel, no choice really) or AMD for the windows platform...
Anyone that cannot see the reasoning behind this, now I would say they are a intel fanboy though.... Everyone has the right to choose..... Reply
saintalchemyst - Saturday, July 04, 2015 - linkWatch and relize the fan boy you are. Intel is great at what they do...SO IS AMD! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu8Sekdb-IE Reply
sleekz - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkPriced cheaply, but they don't match price/performance wise. Price is not a valid argument against intel. Reply
Abdussamad - Monday, August 12, 2013 - linkDo the math on electricity consumption and you find it is not priced decently at all. Let's say you run a system with an idle FX 8350 for 8 hours a day everyday for 5 years and electricity costs you $0.16 per kwh:
(( 8 hours * (74.2 - 57.5) * 365 days * 5 years ) / 1000) * 0.16 = $39
(74.2 - 57.5 is the difference in idle power consumption between an fx-8350 and i5-3570)
So add $40 to the price of the FX 8350 before you do a comparison. More if you run your system 24/7. Reply
lostinspacex - Wednesday, November 13, 2013 - linkduuude its 40 dollars in 5 years, you spend more going to a restaurant once , and u are multiplying watts with kilowatts xD, basic math mistake Reply
chekk42 - Wednesday, November 13, 2013 - linkLook closer. The math is correct. However, yes, $40 over 5 years is not really a concern. Reply
ninza228248 - Monday, April 14, 2014 - linkAfter 5 years add $40 to AMD and you will get mind blowing processor compared to Intel Core i5-3570 or any intel processor after 5 years in that price bracket... Reply
Operandi - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkLooks like Piledriver delivered. Granted the bar was set pretty low with Bulldozer but this at least has a use case, highly threaded applications but considering this is a process node behind Intel I'd say its pretty good. If they can keep this pace up and hit IPC a bit harder AMD could be back in a pretty good position. Reply
silverblue - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - linkAt least now they can say they beat Intel in a lot of multithreaded situations. Losing to Intel AND using more power was unpalatable. I'd like to see an undervolted 8350, perhaps AMD's conservative side is rearing its ugly head again.
I'm a bit concerned that, even with hard-edge flops and the RCM, the clock speed difference is about 11% for the same power. I'd have thought that even the former would shave off a decent amount, unless RCM doesn't work so well at higher speeds. Still, there's one disadvantage to be had - overclocking won't work so well due to the flop change.
If AMD can beat Intel now in multithreading in most circumstances, Steamroller is just going to let them pull away. Single-threaded workloads are the worry, though. Still, at least they can say that they finally beat Nehalem even in single-threaded work. I did lament the lack of an appearance of Phenom II, but looking at the results, they've buried that particular ghost. Reply

Perry to dive at WPIALs one final time
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Gateway's Alison Perry hopes the third time is the charm.
The Gators senior diver will make her third appearance at the WPIAL Class AAA championships Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at North Allegheny High School.
As a sophomore in 2012, Perry placed 18th.
Last year, she took 12th.
If she improves six more spots Saturday, she would be making her first trip to states.
The top six finishers in AAA advance to the PIAA championships at Bucknell University.
"I'm really excited," Perry said. "Hopefully, all my training pays off Saturday."
Perry said being at WPIALs twice before helps her get prepared for what she will face Saturday
"It makes it less stressful," Perry said. "I want to go in and do my best and see where I place. Hopefully, it matches up well with everyone else."
WPIAL diving in AAA is broken down into three parts.
The preliminary round is dives one through five.
After dive five, the first cut will be made.
The semifinal round will be dives six through eight, and then a second cut will reduce the field for the finals.
The final three rounds will produce the WPIAL champ and the other five state qualifiers.
"She's getting to a good spot," Gateway diving coach Mehran Hedjazi said.
"She is very capable of finishing in the top six if she dives the way she is capable. I just want her to go into WPIALs comfortable and relaxed. It's her final WPIAL competition, and I want her to have fun."
Perry qualified for WPIALs with a successful performance during Gateway's section dual meet with Fox Chapel on Jan. 9.
It was the Gators' first section meet and first meet overall after the Christmas break.
She came up just short in two December nonsection meets.
"I was really close, but I knew if I was patient, it would come," Perry said.
Perry said work on and off the board has helped her in her WPIAL preparation.
"Coach Hedjazi pushes me to do my best," Perry said.
"I've also been doing some exercise (off the board) to keep my strength up."
Perry was the lone Gateway girls representative at WPIALs as a sophomore, and last year, she dove at WPIALs with teammate Alex Denne, a 2013 grad.
She said she hoped one or more of the younger divers would've been able to qualify, but at the same time, she is excited for the future of Gateway diving.
"The younger divers really improved throughout the season," Perry said.
"I hoped to have others at WPIALs with me, but I told them to keep working hard. I think they will make it next year."

Release: 08/15/2013
Aug 15, 2013
Albuquerque, N.M.--- Dedication and talent is not only seen amongst the players of the Lobo women's tennis team, but in the coaching staff as well.
Assistant Tennis Coach Kelcy McKenna sets an admirable example for her players as she works toward her own tennis goals this week in the US Open National Playoffs taking place in New Haven, CT.
McKenna, who is an Arizona State Tennis Alumni, will be competing for a chance to earn a spot in the US Open Qualifying Tournament and ultimately towards a shot at the main draw of the 2013 US Open. McKenna qualified for the playoffs after she won the US Open National Playoff Southwest Section Qualifying Tournament in May. She won a total of four matches in singles and mixed doubles.
The playoffs will showcase the best of the best when it comes to tennis talent. The Mixed Doubles Championship features 26 players (13 teams) and the Women's Singles Championship has a total of 12 individual competitors. Among these 38 athletes, there are several different skill levels from several different countries that will be competing. Viewers can expect to see everything from collegiate coaches to USTA Pro Circuit's best athletes. McKenna, who was ranked No. 3 in the nation while at ASU, will definitely be a competitor to look out for.
McKenna will be playing in both singles and doubles matches while in New Haven. For the first round of the singles draw, she will face Amy Sergeant from Great Britain. Sergeant qualified for the playoffs after winning the Florida Section Qualifying Tournament. A win in the singles championship would allow McKenna to compete in the US Open Qualifying Tournament as a wild card. The tournament will be played in Flushing, N.Y.
As for McKenna's mixed doubles match, she is paired with Stevie Robertson, a former player from Boise State. By winning the mixed doubles playoff title, that would also give McKenna and Robertson a guaranteed spot in the 2013 US Open as a wild card.

This document describes how to set up a secure FTP (SFTP) server as a Cisco Finesse server. It also describes back up, upgrade, and troubleshooting procedures.
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
This procedure describes how to use freeFTPd in order to create a user and how to set up, start, and confirm SFTP.
As Finesse is installed on the VOS platform, it takes advantage of the Disaster Recovery System (DRS), a backup and resource tool provided by the Cisco Unified Communications Platform.
Note: You can access the DRS application on the Finesse server at the URL https://<Finesse Server IP>:8443/drf. You need administrator user account credentails in order to log in to the backup/restore page.
This procedure describes how to add a backup device, to start and monitor a backup, and to locate the backup data.
Note: Perform the backup process during off production hours. The DRS backup is designed to stop the OPENFIRE process, which causes an agent to log out. See Cisco bug ID CSCuf51868, "DRS backup causes Finesse failover."
Note: Use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) in order to obtain more information on the commands used in this section.
This procedure describes how to upgrade Finesse.
Note: You can use the GUI in order to perform an upgrade through the URL https://<YourFinesseServer>/cmplatform, but this is not supported. During the upgrade, the Tomcat service goes down, which causes the GUI to stop its updates of the upgrade progress. Internally, the upgrade continues without any issue.
There is currently no verification procedure available for this configuration.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The brother of a Massachusetts woman killed two years ago while riding her bicycle in DeKalb County said this week's guilty plea offered some additional closure but also reopened old wounds.
Brandon Genco said he is glad Craig Lee Chandler plead guilty to criminally negligent homicide for running over his sister, 22-year-old Christina Clarke Genco, June 6, 2011.
"He was found guilty with what seems what fits the crime," Brandon Genco said.
"I've driven a boat, I've driven a car, and rode a bike and I'm the same person before, after, and during. A person's right to safety should be the same no matter what your title is at the time. You have a higher responsibility when the vehicle is two tons versus 20 pounds."
Genco was one of about three dozen young adults riding from South Carolina to Southern California on a Bike and Build mission trip, helping build homes along the way.
As she pedaled uphill on Highway 35 north from Fort Payne to Rainsville, Craig Chandler failed to yield to the cyclist–who had the right to be where she was–and collided with her.
"Unfortunately it's a one sided issue if it's a bike versus a car," Brandon Genco said.
Investigators said Chandler was not speeding, texting, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, so a grand jury indicted him for criminally negligent homicide. It is a misdemeanor with a maximum punishment of one year in jail.
Special prosecutor Steve Marshall, the Marshall County district attorney, said Genco's parents approved a plea agreement where Chandler would avoid jail time, but he is permanently banned from operating a motor vehicle.
"That's a huge restriction on anybody," Marshall said.
"We know how as a society that we like to be on the go, and if you take that driving privilege away from somebody, that's a significant punishment and restriction on their liberty. We feel like that was an appropriate request in this case, and appreciate that the judge imposed it and believe that was something that enhanced the nature of this penalty."
Chandler will be on probation for two years and if he is caught driving, he will go to jail for 12 months. Marshall said Chandler's options are a bicycle, or riding with someone else.
Brandon Genco is glad Chandler is being held accountable, but said it's difficult to discuss.
"Sentencing is a complicated issue that I don't think anyone in the family really knows a good answer to, nor do I. It may be an ethical question, a moral and religious question for how do you do the difference in this crime. What is fair? I think we were just happy with the verdict and that this person can't do this again," Genco said.
After the deadly accident, the family started the Christina Clarke Genco Foundation.
The CCG Foundation held a memorial ride to spread awareness and generate outreach and funding. The foundation provides free safety materials such as reflectors for college students in Boston to wear on backpacks, as well as pamphlets to distribute at universities for students who don't know what to expect when driving or cycling in the city.
The Foundation also provided funding for Bikes Not Bombs, a Boston-area non-profit organization that promotes youth cycling and bike-building as a vehicle for social change.
The family also funded three need-based scholarships in a private lacrosse league where Christina used to work, to give opportunities to players who couldn't afford expensive fees.
Brandon Genco said the court proceedings took them away from the positive aspects.
"It brings back the reality of the situation so it does reopen things but it is more closure because now it's just like this is what is going to happen, this is how it's been decided in a court of law, so I guess it does bring closure in that sense," he said.
District Attorney Marshall said he hopes this serves as an alert to drivers to remind them that cyclists have rights on the road. A cyclist himself, Marshall said drivers often come up closer than is safe or appropriate, and he's even had bottles thrown at him while riding.
"It is a significant case in that you don't see many prosecutions of individuals who kill cyclists on the road. That message alone I think is important, that the idea of a criminally negligent homicide although a misdemeanor is still a significant offense," Marshall said.
"What we do is at least hope it causes people to be a little more careful when they come up on and pass a cyclist on a public highway," he said.
Brandon Genco encouraged north Alabama cyclists and supporters to get involved with Alabama Wheelmen, who held a memorial ride in May 2012, and plan for another this year.
Last year's Bike and Build SC2SC team returned to Alabama, and jerseys worn by riders had ribbons on them with Christina's initials. They also chalked tributes to her on the road.
The 2013 SC2SC route will take riders to Scottsboro on June 5 and Decatur June 6 and 7.

Pressure versus Pleasure
View EMPTYNESTER60's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from EMPTYNESTER60
Sunday, June 05, 2011
One of my good SparkFriends posted a blog a while ago suggesting that we go back & re-read some of our blogs from when we first started with Spark (which was just over a year ago for me) I thought it was good advice & I did. Since then I've been trying to figure out what is different & why - even though I'm 30 pounds lighter I'm really struggling to have the motivation I need to exercise. My main (or only) form of exercise is walking and I have a little park that I love to walk in. You can see it on my SparkPage - isn't it pretty & serene? So . . . why don't I walk anymore? ? ? I can use the excuse that it is unusually hot in NC already but it was hot in August last year & I still found time to walk so that's not it. It had to be something else.
I asked for a kick in the butt to get my motivation back & got a couple of responses - one with a cyber kick & one with a map to get me back on track. The map gave me the idea to get back to walking in my pretty neighborhood so I didn't have the excuse of having to drive somewhere so that's just what I did tonight. I have one route that I've been walking that is just about a mile & pretty level (or as level as it gets in NC) but since I had my
and my "map" I branched out a little further & up a few hills and took the time to enjoy the scenery around me. I wasn't out to break any speed walking records - I was just out for a walk
. I watched the squirrels running back & forth across the road, stopped for just a second to pet the gorgeous dog that was out for a walk with his owner, and waved & chatted with the other walkers I met along the way. I ENJOYED my walk and was very pleasantly surprised when I got home to find that I had walked 2.5 miles in 44 minutes. Instead of putting the PRESSURE on myself to walk faster or farther I need to get back to enjoying the PLEASURE of walking - not just for the exercise, but for the stress reliever that I used it for when I first started on this journey. I may not always be able to walk 2.5 miles but that that's OK.
IS something that I enjoy doing - I just need to do it to remember that

Glad my "map" helped motivate you! I agree...when excercise becomes pleasure, it is easy...but even when we have to "pressure" ourselves to do it, it's still important! But as you so-aptly put, what can begin as pressure can turn into pleasure!
Report Inappropriate Comment
I am glad you are enjoying your walks, you have actually pushed to restart mine. I used to really enjoy just getting out on mylunch breaks and I just became sorrowfully lazy
I have to admit, I would just have rather sat at the computer from 8-5, I have never been that and I cannot let myself get that way.
It does get easier as you get used to the heat, I can attest to that much. Keep it up, you can do it and you will feel so much better. Mentally and physically!
P.S. I regret those words where I said I was looking forward to summer, I forgot how hot is was here!
Report Inappropriate Comment
When it gets to be "work" and no longer "fun" I think it's certainly time to change things up. It sounds like you did just that and have rediscovered the joy in walking. I'm so glad!
I have no doubt that you'll soon be back on track and see that scale moving down hill as fast as you do.

. I think we all get to a point where it is not "pleasure" but "pressure". Pressure we do not relate well to. You have got your "pleasure" in walking back so you are ready to do it. Who knows your next walk might be 3 miles. Keep up the great work.
Report Inappropriate Comment
What a great realization! When it becomes pressure it is no longer a pleasure, and vice versa. Keep on doing those pleasurable walks!

This makes a lot of sense. I was going through something similar this week...since joining the Y in February, I've been religiously going in and circuit training twice a week. For some reason this week I was starting to rebel against the idea that I HAVE to do it. I skipped a day, and I was thinking about skipping for the week, just because I could, just because no one could make me go. What finally got me in there yesterday was when I stopped thinking about how I SHOULD go and started thinking about how good I feel afterwards, my posture all straight, my muscles warm and loose. I went, I enjoyed.
I walk for cardio, but I have to say when it gets hot and humid and the air quality is bad, there is no pleasure to be found in this activity. At that point I'll do my gazelle indoors in front of the tv.

I am glad you enjoyed your walk. I also enjoy the outside walks. So much in nature to see and enjoy

Probs with upgrade from IPhoto 8.1.2 to 9.5
I bought the new IPhoto version 9.5 to upgrade mine 8.1.2 and it shut down immediately after I tried to use it. It could not update the library. I saw a post on the apple support page, that I should install 9.1. before I update my library. But then I got the message, that I first have to use 9.x ...so it´s a circle....what to do? I am using Mackeeper on my macbook pro, but I don´t think that this has to do with my anti virus program as someone mentioned before. Any suggestions very welcome :/
I also bought 9.5 and had no problem installing it and the library appeared to update successfully, but music was lost in all my slideshows and I can't recover it. I also can't play music in new slideshows. "Play music during slideshow" is checked, the source is iTunes, I select a song, click "Choose," no music. I'm on iTunes 11.1.1 and it's working properly. It appears the link between iPhoto and iTunes is broken. Very discouraging. Is there any way to restore the previous version of iPhoto?

According to The Daily Mail, a elusive animal known as an "Asian unicorn," or saola, has been spotted grazing in Vietnam's central Annamite mountains – and thanks to a hidden camera, the World Wildlife Federation captured pictures of it.
While it's not quite as mystical as the colorful one-horned creatures of your childhood memories, conservationists are enamored with the saola, who has two parallel horns which can reach 19 inches in length.
Dang Dinh Nguyen, director of a saola nature reserve in Vietnam's central province of Quang Nam, tells the British newspaper that the last sighting of the animal in the wild was 15 years ago.
"When our team first looked at the photos we couldn't believe our eyes," said WWF Vietnam director Van Ngoc Thinh. "Saola are the holy grail for South East Asian conservationists so there was a lot of excitement."

Software release announcements moving to Twitter
I'm kind of sad that my blog is mostly just brief announcements of new versions of software projects that I maintain and very little blog-like content, so from here on I think I'm going to hold off posting such announcements here and just tweet instead. I might even find some time to write some real blog-like content again.
Announcements from today: Ferret 0.3 and Terminus 0.2 (and due to the joys of Twitter, I can't edit the typo in the latter; I'd have to delete and re-tweet the sucker and I just can't be bothered doing that).
For a long while I was reluctant to let too much of my content live on potentially unreliable, ephemeral third-party platforms — I've seen too many of them come and go — so I tried to centralize as much activity as I could on my own site. But the truth is, you have to go where the people are, and that means engaging with Twitter (for disseminating information) and GitHub (for hosting projects). I'll continue to maintain a presence here, of course, but I think both Twitter and GitHub have been around long enough that I'm not so worried as I used to be about them disappearing overnight. And in terms of historical value of the content, there isn't enough value in tweets that I worry about losing them, and most of the value in my software projects is going to be tied up in the code itself (safely distributed via Git) and not the metadata (issues etc), so GitHub is safe enough too.

Dear Readers: I'm marking my 10-year anniversary of writing the "Ask Amy" column by rerunning some of my favorite Q-and-A's from the early days of the column. Today's letters deal with tension between friends. I return next week:
Dear Amy: My girlfriend and I have been living together for three years. Early on we agreed to embrace the feng shui style of decorating. I requested that we remove from our bedroom the decorative wooden chest made for her by an old boyfriend. I also requested that we replace his two framed etchings in our dining room with our own photos or artwork.
Her response was that neither the chest nor the etchings represented any current energy between her and her old boyfriend. I have not restated my request for the past year. I don't want to be a troublemaker, but those items contain strange energy for me! I'm not asking her to throw them out, just move them to a less prominent place in our home. Are we failing Feng Shui 101? — B.B
Dear B.b.: I don't know that much about feng shui, but I can tell you that the negative energy flowing from your letter has made me want to light a scented candle and rearrange my office.
Before you express yourself by accidentally-on-purpose smashing the framed etchings against the decorative chest, you'd better have another conversation with your girlfriend.
In every relationship, there are some "non-negotiables." I would think that if these decorative items still make you uncomfortable after three years, they should be moved.
I'm sure that these expressions of decorative violence aren't in the feng shui handbook, but a little burst of openly negative energy might be a great way to clear the air inside your home. (2004)
Dear Amy: I have two close friends from high school. Now we're 40. They are competitive with each other — one is really successful in business and the other is a stay-at-home mom, and I'm stuck in the middle.
Recently, my business- woman friend went on vacation and when she returned emailed some photos to my other friend. Included in the vacation pictures were some nude photos of her. My friend turned around and emailed the nude photos to me.
I am worried that my friend is using her company email to send out nude photographs, and also that my other friend is turning around and sending these pictures around, at least to me. I have a feeling she wants to try to see our successful friend "fall."
Now I don't know what to do. Should I email my businesswoman friend and warn her that she shouldn't send these pictures around because they got forwarded to me? Or should I ignore the situation?
P.S. I've attached the photos to this email so you can see the level of nudity. They are tastefully done. — Friend in the Middle
Dear Friend: OK. The thing you don't want to do is attach these nude photos to an email and send them to me. But now that you have, I have to agree, they are tasteful. And the people in my office think so too. But I wanted another opinion, so I sent them on to the sports department.
Not really. I haven't looked at them and have deleted them. But I hope you understand that once you sent these pictures to me, they could then fly around the World Wide Web and end up as a screensaver in Budapest.
You can help to stop this nonsense, and I think you should. Just send your businesswoman friend an email saying these photos were sent on to you. I don't think you need to lecture her about using company email for these purposes — she should know better and probably does. Your actions will definitely affect the friendship with both of these friends, but I think that might be a good thing. (2004)
Dear Amy: In a recent column, you asked "what makes men happy?"
What makes men happy? Show up nude, bring chicken wings and don't block the TV? — Happy
Dear Happy: Can the chicken wings be nude too? (2005)
Send questions via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or write to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Daily Parking FAQs
You can only exit and re-enter during your reservation at locations that have the amenity icon for "in and out privileges." This icon is represented by two opposite pointing arrows stacked on top of eachother.
You may enter at any time after the start time listed on your SpotHero reservation; you may depart at any time prior to the end time listed on your reservation. For example, if your reservation goes from 8AM to 8PM, you can enter and leave anytime between 8AM and 8PM.
The only thing you cannot do is park outside of your reservation time. Whether you arrive early, or stay later than your scheduled reservation period; any time spent parked outside of your reservation is subject to ticket, tow, or an additional charge (at the drive-up rate) from the parking facility.
In the event you overstay your reservation, you will be subject to paying the posted rates at the parking location. You can also go to SpotHero and purchase another reservation to give you more time. Just show that new purchase along with your previous ones to the garage attendant.
Yes! We guarantee your spot will be available - it's your spot! While SpotHero does not physically hold a certain spot open for each reservation at a location, our parking partners provide inventory information to prevent overbooking. In an extremely rare ocassion there would not be a spot available, call our support line at 312-566-7768. Our heroes would direct you on what to do next.
Good luck! If you show up at the parking facility without a SpotHero reservation, you will be subject to paying the drive up rates, which are set according to a different rate structure. Depending on the time and location at which you want to park, the posted and active non-SpotHero rate structures will often lead to your paying 2-3x as much as the SpotHero price for the same parking.
That's an easy one! Just purchase multiple reservations at the same spot location and you're good to go. Multiple reservations need to be purchased separately.
No, the rate that you will see when you have entered your date and time is the rate you will pay for that entire period of time.
These are privileges that allow you to come and go as you please from your parking spot. To find out whether or not a spot allows for in and out access, look for the in and out amenity icon. This icon is represented by two arrows pointing opposite directions. On our website, you can filter your search to only show locations with in and out privileges.
For almost all of our locations, a printout is not required. For the few locations that do require a print copy of your receipt, we make sure to list this in the spot's description. Failure to print your receipt at these locations will result in an invalid SpotHero reservation.
For our locations with on-site scanners, you will be able to scan in a QR code to enter and exit the garage.
The QR code is the square barcode on the upper left-hand corner of your Rental Confirmation receipt. You can scan the barcode via printout or mobile phone.
In order to successfully scan in and open the garage gate, you must hold the QR Code two inches away from the QR Code reader (identifiable by the red flashing lights).
Keep in mind that that the barcode will only register after your reservation start time and before your end time.
An unattended surface lot is an uncovered, unmonitored, non-gated location that doesn't have an attendant.
SpotHero customers can park in unattended surface lots, that do not require printouts, simply by entering their correct license plate number into our website or app and making sure to park within the reservation times they set. You will not need to re-enter your information at the lot.
*Hint* Any unattended surface lot that is offered on our app will not require a printout.
Almost all of our unattended surface lots use license plates as the primary method to monitor which cars in the lot have paid. It is very important that you enter in this information accurately. Failure to do so could result in a ticket or tow.
SpotHero will honor all refunds requested before the reservation start time.
You can cancel your spot by going to "My Reservations" in your account, or by calling our Customer Heroes at 312-566-7768.
If you need to update your license plate, you can do so under your reservations. You will need to make sure the license plate is correct before your reservation begins.
If you will be driving a rental car and do not yet know your plate number, you can enter RENTAL into the license plate field. You will need to update this under your reservations as soon as you receive the correct plate number.
There are two ways to redeem a SpotHero promo code. If a code is labeled as "Mobile Only" you will have to enter it on the app and not the mobile website or regular website.
Mobile Redemption (versions older than 2.2.6)
- Go to the menu and then to the "Promotions" tab under Account.
- You will be prompted to enter and submit the code. The credit will be saved to your account.
- Proceed to purchase the spot and then select "Use SpotHero Credit".
- The available credit will be applied to your purchase, however the receipt will still reflect the full price of the spot.
Mobile Redemption (version 2.2.6 or newer)
- Select your desired spot and proceed to the checkout page.
- Click on "Have a Promo Code?" underneath the billing section and enter the code.
- The available credit will be applied to your purchase, however the receipt will still reflect the full price of the spot.
- If you choose to use the credit at a later time, you will select "Apply SpotHero Credit" aboive the billing section at checkout.
Website Redemption
- Select your desired spot and proceed to the checkout page.
- Click on "Have a Promo Code?" underneath the billing section and enter the code.
- The available credit will be applied to your purchase, however the receipt will still reflect the full price of the spot.
- If you choose to use the credit at a later time, you will select "Apply SpotHero Credit" above the billing section at checkout.
In order to redeem your promo code, you'll need to log into your account. From there you will go onto your account page. Hit preferences & to the right you will enter your SpotHero promo code.
Below is a guide of what types of vehicles are generally considered oversized. Almost all NYC garages charge an extra fee for oversided vehicles. This fee is assessed and paid upon entering to the garage and is ultimately up to the discretion of the attendant.
- 2-door cars (Honda Civic)
- 4 door cars (BMW 7-series)
- Station Wagons/smaller crossovers (Porsche Panamera is ok | Subaru Crosstrek is not)
- SUV's (Ford Explorer | Any Jeep)
- Minivans (Honda Odyssey)
- Pickup Trucks (Dodge Ram)
- Semi Trucks (International Semis)
- Box Trucks (UHaul Trucks)
While we do not specialize in oversize vehicle parking, we have many locations that will allow for oversized vehicles. If you are parking an oversized vehicle, trailer, etc., you will need to make multiple reservations to account for the number of spaces your vehicle will take up. While we cannot guarantee the spots will be next to each other, there are rarely any issues. For more information regarding parking oversized vehicles, Feel free to contact our Customer Heroes at (312) 566-7768.
Monthly Parking FAQs
We offer a wide variety of monthly rates that will suit your parking needs. We know that you my want to park 24/7 or just want a spot for commuting to work so either way, we got your back! Go ahead and browse our site to view your different options, but please pay close attention to the times listed so you'll know exactly when you can park.
For example, if you see a spot called 'Monday - Friday: 6am - 7pm', you may only park your vehicle inside the garage during those times. If you see a spot called '24/7 Parking', you get to park whenever you want during that month.
Another great way to find your perfect spot is to call our customer heroes at 312-566-7768.
Some monthlies are handled directly with the location after the first month. A location's Spot Details provides this information, and a facility is required to give you notice of a rate increase.
Yes. You would just need to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to notify us that you are only parking for one month. This is to make sure you do not get set up for repeat billing.
We do not prorate monthly parking at our locations. If you have an extenuating circumstance, please call our customer heroes.
Totally depends! Some locations may require a fee (refundable or non-refundable), however; that will all be detailed in the description of the location before you purchase. All extra fees will be paid to the garage or lot office after purchase. Please make sure to read the description before finalizing your payment.
If you choose to purchase a spot that says 'recurring monthly' on the checkout page, your card will be automatically charged until you cancel. Decide you don't want to park anymore? Get in touch with our customer heroes and they'll cancel it for you right away.
If you select to purchase a spot that says 'non-recurring monthly' on the checkout page, you are only paying for the initial month of parking payable through SpotHero. For the second month and on, you must set up recurring billing through an account with the parking company that owns the location you're parking at. During the hand-off process (after the 1st month going into your second month) the parking company will correspond with you and us to make sure you're getting set up correctly.
Unless specified, we generally do not permit this due to facility limitations. However, we have a limited amount of spots available for motorcycles, so please call our customer heroes at (312) 566-7768 to see if we have availability near you.
Most locations are set up with the billing cycle to be on the 1st and the 15th of every month.
There is a 2-day leeway window available on either side of those dates. The closer you choose a start date toward the 1st or the 15th, the more likely you will be to getting a correct billing cycle.
If your start date is the 15th of the month, your first bill through the parking operator could be for a month and a half. The 1.5 month bill will allow you to park for 1.5 months and allows the parking operator to get you on a 1st of the month billing cycle. In all cases your rate will stay the same. Going forward your bill will be for just one month, if this is the case.
You will contact the parking company that owns the location you're parking at. When you receive your confirmation email, a parking agreement document/application will be attached and will have the company's name & contact information on there so you will know who & how to reach them.

Tethered shooting with G1 not kinky!
Sep 25, 2009
Hi all,
I have connected my G1 to my Panasonic LCD TV to view photos on the memory card.
I was wondering if it was possible to connect the camera to a TV or lap top and use the large display to compose instead of the camera LCD screen, while shooting.
A menu option change to direct the image to external screen should not be a difficult up grade as there is already the option to direct the displayed image to EVF or LCD or AUTO sensor.
Is anyone else interested in this possible upgrade?
Comments welcome.

BERLIN (AP) Mally the monkey, Justin Bieber's former pet, has emerged from quarantine at his new German home three months after the pop star brought him to the country.
The 6-month-old Capuchin monkey moved Wednesday into a new enclosure at the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, in northern Germany.
Mally will soon be introduced to the zoo's other capuchin monkeys. Zoo manager Fabrizio Sepe said: "Mally is a clever little guy and we're confident that he will settle in quickly."
Mally was transferred to the zoo last month from a Munich animal shelter where he had been since being seized by German customs March 28.
Bieber failed to produce the required vaccination and import papers after arriving for a European tour. Mally's ownership was transferred to the German state May 21.

A 2005 investigation ordered by Syracuse University into sex-abuse allegations against a former assistant men's basketball coach found no witnesses who believed the accuser's story.
The inquiry's final report, obtained by The Post-Standard of Syracuse, shows in detail how the school reacted to former ball boy Bobby Davis' accusations against then-assistant coach Bernie Fine. At no point does the report raise concerns about Fine's admitted longstanding, close relationship with a ball boy or Davis' proximity to the basketball team.
Fine, 66, was fired in November, during his 36th year on the staff, after the allegations became public. He has denied the accusations and has not been charged. A federal investigation is still under way.
Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor declined to comment Monday because the 2005 investigation is being reviewed and because of a lawsuit filed by Davis. The university said it would not release the document because it promised confidentiality to the participants.

In After Effects CS5 Essential Training, author Chad Perkins discusses the basic tools, effects, and need-to-know techniques in Adobe After Effects CS5, the professional standard for motion graphics, compositing, and visual effects for video. The course provides an overview of the entire workflow, from import to export, as well as detailed coverage of each stage, including animating text and artwork, adding effects to compositions, working in 3D, and rendering and compressing footage. Exercise files are included with the course.
One of the things that will help you become a lot more proficient in After Effects is being able to navigate your way around the Timeline efficiently. Now, we have already talked about how to zoom into the Timeline. Let's say we have this clip here. It's 28 seconds long, and you probably won't use the clip that's this long in most projects. But it's very feasible you have a composition this long. So, we talked before about how you can drag this slider to zoom in to where the Current Time Indicator is, and that's one way to do it. But we could also click these little mountains here to zoom out and zoom in.
But this is not a good way to do it. I don't like using this method. Again, we could also use the scroll bar and stuff like that. But I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts if possible. For example, I could use the plus key on my keyboard to zoom in to where the Current Time Indicator is. And I could use the minus on my keyboard to zoom out, for example. Probably the best way to zoom in and zoom out is by holding down the Option key on the Mac or the Alt key on the PC, and if you have a wheel mouse it's just scrolling in with the wheel, and that will actually zoom in to wherever your mouse is.
So, if I have my mouse over the five- second mark and then I zoom in, I am going to zoom into the five-second area, and I could hold the Option/Alt key and then wheel downwards to zoom back out. And I could also likewise, let's say, zoom into the 25-second mark by using again the Alt and Option key and the wheel again. Now, once I am zoomed in very closely here, I can use the Shift key with the scroll wheel mouse to scroll in time. And that's just again a much faster way of zooming around. If you ever get lost, say for example right now I'm not sure where I am in time.
I am kind of disoriented because I zoomed into a different spot, or because I scrolled around. You can press the D on the keyboard, and that will center the Current Time Indicator in your view, so you will be able to see where you are. Now personally for my money, nothing beats those two scroll wheel keyboard shortcut, both Shift and Option or Alt, because that's just the fastest way to get around. But a lot of people like using this Time Navigator up here at the top. This bar indicates where you are in the Timeline. So, about 25% into the entire timeline we are zoomed into here. We also get a red vertical slash indicating where the Current Time Indicator is.
But we can move the Current Time Indicator from there, or we can resize the window by increasing this Time Navigator area, maybe also click and drag on it if we wanted to move let's say the end of our timeline, or to the beginning of our timeline. And again, by clicking and dragging on this we can change our view of what we're looking at. The wider this Time Navigator bar, the more of the timeline we are looking at. So, the farther zoomed out we are and the more specific we are as we make this tinier and smaller. So, there is that. Again, I don't prefer using this method.
It doesn't feel very intuitive to me, but that's just me. It is another way to do that. Now don't let this feel overwhelming. You don't have to learn all of these techniques. Whichever one you like the most, practice with that method, get really good at that, so that you feel very comfortable zipping around the timeline. You shouldn't have to spend time going down here to these tiny little buttons and these little sliders where they are all awkward and backwards trying to maneuver your way about the timeline. Those that are professionals at After Effects, they know how to zip around the timeline, like it's nobody's business.
And so again, it's a good skill to master.

Noize Rap For 'Yeezus' Freakz
by Chuck Eddy | June 24, 2013
While we may never see eye to eye on anything else about the new Kanye West album (somebody out there is probably even waiting for an instrumental version!), few would deny that Yeezus is quite the clamorous record -- or at least its first half or so, anyway. It directly links itself to Chicago's recent drill-rap scene (what with Chief Keef on it and all), true, but more intriguingly it can also be heard as an heir to a decades-long tradition of people (not even just rappers) talking in loud rhymes over disruptive distortion and disorienting detonations.
Chicago's been a major noize-rap player since at least the mid '80s, thanks to acid-house and the often shouted-not-sung industrial dance-punk released on Wax Trax Records. But I'm also talking theoretical precedents dating back at least as far as Rammellzee and The Fall's Mark E. Smith around the turn of the '80s, and all sorts of developments since: from Tricky's trip-hop to Dalek's experimental hip-hop; from The Prodigy and Hard Knox's big beat electronica to Atari Teenage Riot's and EC8OR's digital hardcore; from heavier tracks by big guns like Public Enemy, The Roots and M.I.A. to more obscure extreme perimeters of grime, dub and dancehall.
This mix starts (Mr. Lee, Bam Bam) and ends (Phuture) in '80s Chicago; in between there's lots from England, a few things from Germany, other clatter from all over. The scenes don't always intersect, and Kanye and collaborators might be oblivious to most of it. But what holds it together is commitment to beat-wise abrasion that might well make you hold your ears.

Yokohama Rubber's Environmental Activities Honored at Tire Technology Expo in Europe
February 28, 2011
Tokyo - The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced today that it had earned the "Environmental Achievement of the Year" award for its outstanding environmental activities at Tire Technology Expo 2011, the most important tire manufacturing technology exhibition in the world, which ran from February 15 through 17 in Cologne, Germany. The award is one of five "Tire Technology International Awards for Innovation and Excellence 2011." The awards ceremony was held on February 16, with President Osamu Mikami of Yokohama Europe GmbH, a Yokohama Rubber subsidiary, attending.
"Tire Technology International Awards for Innovation and Excellence" recognize performance during the previous year and are given in five categories: tire manufacturing and design, tire development technology, environmental achievement, best tire manufacturer, and best tire supplier. The jury, consisting of internationally renowned tire and auto industry experts, engineers, scientists and others, evaluated Yokohama Rubber's comprehensive efforts to reduce environmental burden highly; specifically, (1) efforts to preserve biodiversity, including issuance of guidelines for the preservation of biodiversity, (2) promotion of its Yokohama Forever Forest Project, to create forests at domestic and overseas production sites, (3) reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by introducing solar power generation systems at production facilities, and (4) efforts to achieve "complete zero emissions" – that is, no waste subject to direct landfill disposal.
Annually held in Europe since 2001, Tire Technology Expo is a manufacturing technology exhibition and conference. The event draws tire and material manufacturers, research institutes, etc., as a forum to present results of their efforts to improve technology for designing and producing tires. This year, about 150 companies and organizations participated.

Andrew like his brother Simon Peter was a Jewish (Hebrew) fisherman in Bethsaida. Andrew along with his good friend John was a disciple of John the Baptist who was preaching about the coming Messiah. Andrew and John were there when John the Baptist announced Jesus as the Lamb of God and baptised Him.
Before returning home Andrew and John followed Jesus and asked Him where He lived. They spent time with Jesus that evening and when Andrew returned home he was excited to tell Peter about the Messiah. And John told his brother James.
John 1:41, The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).
Later, when Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee he called Andrew and Peter to be his disciples. I'm certain that walk was not by accident.
Though Andrew isn't as famous as his brother, his ministry was vital to the Church and he made an enormous impact serving others as an Apostle bearing witness to Jesus and working in the power of the Holy Spirit. According to history he preached for many years after Jesus' ascension and was martyred by crucifixion for his faith and ministry. Like his brother history tells us Andrew did not wish to be crucified as his Savior so they bound him in the shape of an X. Not many miracles or stories are recorded about him, but one that sticks out to me is when the 5,000 people gathered, were hungry, and Andrew knew it would be difficult for them to get home to eat before sundown. He told Jesus about the boy with a little bit of food. His compassion was his motivation but it also sounds like Andrew had faith that the boy's food could help Jesus in some way. When Jesus fed the crowd with the boy's five loaves of bread and two fish, the miracle must have really captured Andrew's attention particularly. (John 6)
What do I learn from this disciple, perhaps the first disciple of Jesus? Right now, he teaches me that it's right to follow your heart- not your emotions, but your spirit. Andrew must have had a faith and passion for the Messiah before He even met him. Following John the Baptist shows us that his heart desired something more; He wanted to know God beyond religion. He also teaches me that witnessing for Christ comes out of the excitement of knowing Him, and it isn't meant to be coerced or contrived. Knowing Jesus personally should create in us a terrific desire to share Him with others just like Andrew. Many people are seeking something more in life. Their hearts tell them there is more. And if we would only know Jesus personally with our hearts and not just our heads, perhaps those people would come to ask us what we have and we could tell them who we know- Jesus, the Messiah.
Andrew also must have been a good brother. Peter and Andrew followed Jesus together and ministered to people and prayed together. I should learn from him to be a better brother and pray more than I do.
Some people use the cross of Andrew has a hex against witches. Many call Andrew a Saint. I call him, a fellow witness of Jesus Christ- the Lamb of God!
We don't know much about Andrew except that He loved Jesus and followed faithfully to the end. And in the end, what else is there to know about a person? When I die I hope people will know me as someone who loved Jesus and followed Him faithfully to the end of my life.
– Richie
"Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city. When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers." Acts 1:12-14
