InfoSec Application for a smartphone?
Pretty much everyone has a Blackberry or an iPhone these days. After a little search on Google, I couldn't find many information security applications for these devices. There is MiniStumbler, but pretty much all the other apps are for securing the smart phone itself.
So, what security-related application would you like on a smart phone? A sniffer, port scanner, WEP cracking tool, an IDS, a "netcat-like" tool? They would obviously be less powerful then their stand alone counterpart, but I wouldn't mind some of these tools on my Blackberry...
Let me know what you think!

Cultural mistakes are costly. In 2006, retail giant Wal-Mart closed its doors in Germany after numerous cultural misreads. The problem? Wal-Mart chose to use American store managers who were not fluent in German, nor adept at cross-cultural interaction. They did not listen to employee and customers who complained about the floor layout, the lack of food choices, and discounted prices expected by German shoppers.

A board that is easy for my eyes...
Thanks Mod.
This forum is BALLER
hey giants fans I'm so glad I found this forum. long time giants fan literally since 86 when I was a little kid and the GMEN are the best team in the NFL since that time with the most lombardi trophies.
Cant wait to see our next one! Look forward to getting to know you guys and talk giants football.
Quick question. How do i put a pic under my name so other people can see it? The only one i see is the one when i go to my profile =/
Is there somewhere on the boards webpage that takes you back to the home page of Giants.com? If there is, I can't find it. I'd like to see that, it's just good webpage design to have a button back to the home page.
I like the old boards better...this one is set up where you can friend people? is this facebook or a place to talk football? also alot of people had issues with getting logged in...overall...whatever.

"With a distinct European flair and styling, a stunning reproduction of one of the most popular chess sets used in the major international Chess tournaments during the 1950s and 1960s."
The House of Staunton is proud to offer the Zagreb '59 Series Chess set. A full tournament-sized Chess set, it features a 3.875" King with a 1.75" diameter base. The Chess pieces are hand carved by our master artisans and crafted out of the highest grade woods. The Chess pieces are heavily weighted with luxurious billiard cloth base pads and a beautiful finish. The design of the Zagreb '59 Chess set is an adaptation of the most popular Chess set used at major international Chess tournaments throughout the 1950s and 1960s, most notably the World Championship Candidates Match that was held in Bied, Zagreb in 1959.
The House of Staunton has taken several minor improvements to the design of the Chess set, including the ability to replace the ball finial (cross) atop the King with the more recognizable Formée cross to conform to modern Western tournament praxis. The Chess set comes with both styles of King finials (crosses) that are easily removable, allowing its owner to option to change between both styles. The Chess set has been designed to withstand years of use (and abuse), as it lacks many of the ornate details commonly found on Chess Sets that can be susceptible to damage in the heat of battle. For example, the Chess set features reinforced Pawn collars, stylized Knights and minimal Queen crenellations for unmatched durability. The Zagreb '59 Series Chess set is ideal for those that are interested in both the historical importance of the game of Chess, as well as those looking for an attractive Chess set that is both economical and durable.
As with all of our Chess sets, the Zagreb '59 Series Chessmen exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!
The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard that was introduced by The House of Staunton in 1993.
From September 6 to October 31 of 1959, eight of the world's strongest Grandmasters competed in a powerful quadruple Round-Robin Tournament, played in Bled, Zagreb and Belgrade, Yugoslavia, to determine the challenger for the crown of World Chess Champion currently held by Soviet Grandmaster Mikhail Botvinnik. The participants of the tournament were Mikhail Tal, Paul Keres, Tigran Petrosian, Vasily Smyslov, Svetozar Gligoria, Frederik Olafsson, Pal Benko and a 16-year old American named Robert James "Bobby" Fischer. This prestigious list includes 4 World Chess Champions.
Tal showed superior form by winning with 20/28 points, ahead of Paul Keres with 18.5, followed by Tigran Petrosian, Vasily Smyslov, Bobby Fischer, Svetozar Gligoria, Frederik Olafsson, and Pal Benko. Tal's victory was much attributed to his dominance over the lower half of the field; whilst scoring only +1 -3 vs Keres, he won all four individual games against Fischer, and took 3 3/4 from Gligoria, Olafsson, and Benko.
Although Bobby Fischer failed to win the Candidates Tournament, he finished a respectable fifth place and established himself as a legitimate contender for the World Chess Championship.

Thousands of dollars in crops lost in Martin County grain facility fire
MARTIN COUNTY - A fire erupted at a grain-producing facility in Martin County, destroying about $12,000 in crops.
The blaze happened at Lake Phelps Grain, at 1188 Cargill Road, just west of Williamston. Crews got the call at about 8:15 p.m. Sunday.
Fire officials confirmed the fire started in a grain bin. They said roughly $12,000 worth of crops were lost. There was equipment damage reported as well.
"Flames were everywhere, it was a mess. Four or five different fire stations were out here," said Trey Hardee, an Assistant Supervisor at the facility. "It was devastating for one, to see the dryer on fire, and two, the commodity that we got in it, of course some of it's messed up."
Crews left the scene at about 1 a.m. Monday. There were no injuries reported.
Following the fire, workers were left to clean up the approximately 7,500 pounds of grain left lying on the ground below the dryer. "Oh it's a mess, of course we gotta get it done, but yeah it's a whole lot more extra work," said Hardee.
Jason Gibbs, the manager of the facility, said fires at the facility happen somewhat regularly. "Usually you can put it out in a matter of a minute or two, just turn the fans off it'll put itself out," he said. "Grain fires happen and in dryers especially it's just unfortunate it happened to us."
Outside of the thousands of dollars lost due to the ruined grain, the biggest problem may be repairs to the dryer. Workers said it could cost anywhere between $5,000 to $200,000 to fix.
Several local fire agencies responded. Fire officials said they were confident the fire was accidental.

Serves 8
Prep Time 40 min
Total Time 180 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
To prepare filling: Combine 1/2 cup sugar, honey and rhubarb in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the rhubarb is juicy and softens slightly, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium; gradually add the cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the juices thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Combine apricots, strawberries, orange zest and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix in the rhubarb.
Step 4
To prepare crust & bake tart: Mix oil and butter in a small bowl. Cover phyllo with wax paper or plastic wrap and a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out. Center one sheet of phyllo in the pie pan, letting the edges hang over; gently press it into the pan. Dampen a pastry brush with water and lightly brush some of the oil-butter mixture over the phyllo. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon breadcrumbs over the bottom. Repeat with 5 more sheets of phyllo, laying each at a 45° angle to the previous one and sprinkling each with breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Scrape the filling into the crust. Brush one of the remaining phyllo sheets with oil-butter mixture. Place another sheet on top at a 45° angle. Repeat with the last sheet. Place the stack on the filling. Fold the overhanging phyllo up around the tart, creating a ruffled border. Dab any remaining oil-butter mixture on top. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar. Cut 4 slits in the center for venting.
Step 6
Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake until nicely browned and bubbling slightly, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature (about 1 1/2 hours). Dust with confectioners' sugar.

DALLAS -- Not to sound like a broken record, but North Texas hip-hop is having a moment.
Individuals and groups in Dallas, Fort Worth and Denton are tackling the genre from a variety of angles, but few are doing so with the ambition of Dallas duo A.Dd+ (pronounced ay-dee-dee).
The rappers known as Paris Pershun and Slim Gravy (25-year-old Arrias Walls and 24-year-old Dionte Rembert, respectively, to their parents) have come a long way in a relatively short time, moving from their dazzling 2009 mixtape, Power of the Tongue, to national attention from tastemaking outlets like XXL and Pitchfork.
Now, the duo, working with trusted collaborators like producer Picnictyme and DJ Sober, is poised to make its biggest splash yet, with its latest effort, DiveHiFlyLo.
A dozen tracks, from the doomy opener 2012 and Beyond to the wryly funny The Plus Sign Is Silent to the simmering Drive Safe, are designed not only to showcase A.Dd+'s range, but to help push hip-hop in a new direction.
"We want to bring in new listeners," says Walls, during a recent interview at a north Dallas Starbucks, "but also set the tone for what Dallas hip-hop should be. We're trying to set a new standard for Dallas hip-hop, and bring that to the national level, of course."
That "new standard" involves some left-of-center sonics, which sets A.Dd+ apart from its contemporaries even as it evokes comparisons to fellow local R&B/hip-hop vanguards like Erykah Badu. Walls' husky, insistent flow and Rembert's hyperactive, nimble vocals blend with the often-inventive soundscapes created by a coterie of forward-thinking producers.
"I feel like creativity has always been in hip-hop; it was up to the artist to take that risk," Walls says. "If you're more worried about what the audience will think, or who you need to impress ... you're more than likely going to fail. You have to do what comes naturally to you. That's how we approach each song: We do what we want to do, not what everybody else is doing."
Take it to the stage
If any hip-hop act can break out beyond the state's borders, it's Paris and Slim, who conjure a magnetic, almost giddy energy on stage. Last year, the two were a highlight of the XXL showcase at South by Southwest, dominating an east Austin warehouse and upstaging buzzy rhyme-slingers like Danny Brown and Future.
"That's one of the things we pride ourselves on, having good stage presence," Walls says.
Along with unofficial third member DJ Sober (aka Will Rhoten, who Slim calls "the best DJ ever"), A.Dd+ has become one of the few local rap acts to cross over and play traditionally rock-oriented venues like Trees, Club Dada and the Kessler Theater.
They'll edge closer to the mainstream Saturday, when A.Dd+, along with Brain Gang, -topic and Tunk, will headline the Granada Theater to celebrate the release of DiveHiFlyLo.
"I think it's because of the music that we put out and its appeal," says Dionte Rembert.
A.Dd+ has regularly upped the ante on itself since 2007, when the duo first began writing, recording and performing as A.Dd+. With each successive release, Paris and Slim are refining their approach, even as they dramatically expand their style.
"Paris and Slim are hard workers and incredible emcees," says producer Picnictyme (real name: Richard Escobedo), who oversaw A.Dd+'s 2011 debut LP, When Pigs Fly. "As their producer, I think we're pretty keen on being able to have fun and explore in any realm of expression. They have that gift."
Playing SXSW
Rembert further clarifies the duo's intentions: "The maximum amount of opportunity we can get out of all of this. I want everything to the max; whatever we get out of it, I want it to the max."
And given the state of the local hip-hop community -- thriving, expansive and increasingly drawing attention from outside the area -- it's a good bet A.Dd+ will break big sooner rather than later. In the coming months, A.Dd+ will continue releasing songs that didn't make DiveHiFlyLo online, as they did after When Pigs Fly. They also hope to join up with some national tours, and are scheduled to perform at this year's SXSW.
They will, as Slim rhymed on the 2011 single Getting Far, keep "mastering our craft every day until perfection."
"We'll never stop," Walls says, before turning surprisingly humble. "From the music, I want people to take -- we're everyday people, everyday dudes. We're just rapping about life; we try to use our everyday life to express how we view the world."

About Me Designer, Developer, Maker, Sys Admin
Don't be fooled by the title -- this is not just a "Cookbook".Through discussion of approaches to common SQL problems on various platforms the author provides insightful and practical advice on structuring queries and covers the gamut of need-to-know tools like pivoting, running totals, date differences between records and so on.The addendum on window functions and the aside on "Frege's Axiom and Russell's Paradox" are fascinating reading for any wannabe DBA and put the book into another league.I highly recommend this book.

SQL Cookbook Does 'Fill the Bill'
By John Spencer
from Undisclosed
The SQL Cookbook has helped me in so many ways that I cannot express enough appreciation to the author Anthony Molinaro. Especially well done are the short solutions. These make for a good foundation for developing quite complicated SQL code. I can see why a downloadable 'package' would be nice. However, since the solutions are short and the text that accompanies the solution is very to the point, I found it not particularly necessary for a downloadable set of source. Ah, but it would be nice... The coverage of the many many aspects SQL is quite amazing. The explanation of the 'window' functions is clear. I especially like the use of 'advanced' features early in the book and then seeing the explanations. The book does really help generate ideas--As I am sure the author intended.I will confess that I have two copies -- one a work and one at home. Overkill? I did not think so when I could grab the book for an solution/idea just about anywhere I happened to be.

SQL Toolbox Must-Have
By Larry
The thing I like about the O'Reilly 'Cookbook' series is that you may not have to use them for months, but when you need them they are there with the answers. And oftentimes finding the "one answer" that has been eluding you for hours or even days is worth the price of the book.This book falls into that category. What's really nice is that the author provides solutions for 5(!) different databases. And he does a good job explaining the solutions, making it easy to extrapolate them to solve similar queries.

Excellent desktop resource book!
By Roanoke Valley SQL Server Users Group
This book review was submitted by a Roanoke Valley SQL Server Users Group member as part of the Book Review Program. Reviewed by Harold BucknerThis is a great book to have available at your fingertips. The table of contents is structured quite nicely and allows you to find what you need very quickly. The book covers a number of topics for solving everyday problems. It will also help you come up with ideas on how to go about handling particular queries by describing the problems and then listing possible solutions. And in these solutions you can find techniques on how to expand on them to resolve other issues. The author Anthony Molinaro, included a chapter on Metadata Queries that would be great for the beginner DBA wanting to find information about the database schema as well as other chapters on String manipulation, working with numbers, dates, warehousing and hierarchical queries. The author includes solutions for various platforms that I thought were nice to see how the different platforms handled the solutions. I also thought the author did a great job expanding the solution to help you understand what was happening. Great job Anthony and I hope to see more structured like this one.Harold Buckner

A MUST HAVE book for anyone who works with real-world databases
By vCurios
Discovering Anthony Molinaro's excellent book was pure serendipity and a wonderful one at that. For a while now I have been cobbling together notes on how to programmatically access some 300 servers variously hosting Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle. The cookbook covers these three (as well as IBM DB2 and PostgresSQL). I am 100% sure Mr. Molinaro's SQL Cookbook will save me dozens of hours of navigating through (a) the obtuse documentation of the three vendors and trying to sort out their respective dialects, and (b) the many well-meaning but poorly written SQL help sites that come up in Google. Indeed, as far as I am concerned, the book has already more than paid for itself in the time saved. A key strength of this cookbook (in addition to being very well written, edited, and produced) is it is very logically organized and makes it quite easy to find the topic you want. The only reason I gave it a four-star rating is that it doesn't have all the answers I need. If it did, it would have been a goldmine! But, seriously, if you are "SQL-challenged" like some of us (i.e., not an SQL guru), and you think your time is worth more than $40 an hour, you should get this book, even if you are working with just one of the three SQL platforms. If you are working with two or more versions, get this book, regardless!I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Molinaro for doing a great job helping me devote the time saved to other equally challenging adventures, like golf!

Innovations in longwave-infrared imaging allow scientists to "see" radiant energy leaks, one block at a time
Catherine Clabby
As the need to conserve energy grows more urgent, researchers are pushing to invent better tools to get the job done. At Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Field Intelligence Laboratory has created a mobile system to diagnose wasteful thermal leaks in multiple buildings at a time. At the heart of the system is an improved longwave-infrared imaging device, a sophisticated data collection system and some very specialized software. As a proof of concept, the project created a first-of-its-kind energy map of thermal leaks throughout the six square miles of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Jonathan Jesneck , a research scientist, and Long Phan, a doctoral candidate, are key researchers in this enterprise. Jesneck holds a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Duke University and specializes in large-scale computational projects useful in everything from real estate to drug discovery and medical imaging. Phan, a mechanical engineering Ph.D. student, in his first career pioneered algorithmic and proprietary trading on Wall Street. In a written exchange, they described the new system to American Scientist Associate Editor Catherine Clabby.
A. S. What inspired this technology?
J. J. and L. P. MIT Mechanical Engineering professor Sanjay Sarma developed the concept of mining negawatts, or negative watts. This involves identifying wasted watts and harvesting them efficiently. It's always better to save negawatts rather than build a new power plant to make more watts. Professor Sarma recruited us to MIT's Field Intelligence Lab to begin pioneering innovative techniques to identify and quantify negawatts in a high-throughput, noninvasive manner. On average, buildings lose, through leakage, 25 percent of the energy they consume. Longwave-infrared imaging allows one to "see" the radiant energy leaks in wavelengths of 8,000 to 14,000 nanometers, where radiant energy is most dominant.
A. S. What innovations make the system possible?
J. J. and L. P. Longwave-infrared-imaging devices have started to come down in price, but some of the best commercial imagers can cost up to $40,000 and deliver resolution as poor as a simple webcam. To address the low-resolution problem, Professor Sarma's laboratory pioneered a technology called Kinetic Super Resolution (KSR). The team sees this technology as chip-capable, meaning one day it can likely be embedded into a camera system. KSR can improve an imaging system's native resolution by an order of magnitude by combining multiple frames and motion. With a slight motion of our camera—even at subpixel levels—we can reverse engineer subpixel information and improve it. With computational imaging, we can also create a mosaic combining three types of images, the longwave infrared, a shortwave infrared, which is more like night vision, and then normal, daylight optical images which help us further pinpoint the type of leaks in structures. The initial system is a proof-of-concept device. Our goal is to deploy a beta prototype capable of much higher throughput and to construct many more imaging systems with additional types of sensors. This will capture data at greater heights from different angles and allow us to see more detail on the front and sides of a building.
A. S. What do the Cambridge images reveal?
J. J. and L. P. In the winter, when temperatures outside are much lower than those inside, several types of heat transfer processes become obvious in buildings. The problems originate with windows, doors, sills, joists, basement walls, insulation and other types of thermal envelope issues that bleed energy out of a structure. A majority of these problems tend to be caused by small air leaks concentrated on specific locations on the envelope of a building. The leaks are easy to fix but they can be hard to find without sufficient camera resolution. We found varying degrees of energy loss across buildings of all ages. Some buildings had good insulation on some levels and very poor insulation on others. Some windows were good while adjacent windows were bad. No two structures were exactly the same.
A. S. How do you execute the mapping?
J. J. and L. P. The magnitude of the amount of imaging and other data—including structural information for each building over the six square miles in Cambridge—is on the order of multiple terabytes. These data were transferred, geo-tagged and mapped onto a geographic information system map. Finally, algorithms were written to interpret the data, quantify the size and type of energy leaks and create an energy report for each address on the map. The result is a first-of-its-kind negawatt map that shows detailed macro-to-micro information on a city's total energy leakage.

What fractions can you find between the square roots of 65 and 67?
Find the polynomial p(x) with integer coefficients such that one solution of the equation p(x)=0 is $1+\sqrt 2+\sqrt 3$.
The squares of any 8 consecutive numbers can be arranged into two sets of four numbers with the same sum. True of false?
Part One : Pick two
numbers as multipliers (factors) to multiply together, say $37$ and
$51$. Choose some of the values from $1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64$ and
$128$ to make a sum equal to each of those numbers. For example $37
= 32 + 4 + 1$ and $51 = 32 + 16 + 2 + 1$
Incidentally, could $37$ or $51$ have been made in another way
Now select the side numbers needed to make the factors you've
chosen and press the "press when ready" button to begin.
Next click the counters in the grid one by one to see them move
towards the bottom line.
Finally click the counters remaining in the bottom line to
compile an answer (product) for your multiplication question.
" I found this technique fascinating.
Is there a way of inverting the process, i.e. Factorising. Starting
with particular circles on the bottom line, and finding some
process which could create the two factors you started with " ?

Is anybody headed to the Big Bee Buzz 2013 in Tulsa this year?
Heap good stuff for treatment-free beekeepers this year. Michael Bush, Sam Comfort, and Ed Levi headlining. I'll be there as well, in an unofficial capacity of course if you'd like to meet and/or talk to me. I went last year and live blogged the whole thing. It was loads of fun, learned a lot, and got to hang out with some quality beekeepers. I hope to do the same thing again this year.
See you there.

The 2013 NEOBA Big Bee Buzz is coming and online registration is now available! It will be held March 22nd and 23rd, at Eastside Christian Church. NEOBA presents this seminar every year as part of our mission to educate folks in this region about beekeeping. We always have visitors from other states, and we present speakers who are worth traveling to see.
Nearly all of the presentations, whether or not strictly about chemical-free methods, will focus on practical aspects of beekeeping, such as hive management. Our speakers will focus on beekeeping without the use of chemicals. Even if you are a beekeeper who treats your bees, there will be plenty of information that will apply to you.
Conference Details
- When: Starts at 5:30PM on Friday, March 22nd, wrapping up around 9:00PM, then starting up again at 8:45AM on Saturday, March 23rd, finishing up by 4:00PM.

Additive manufacturing (AM) basically means 3D printing, so-called because the process adds material to a component instead than subtracting it as in traditional manufacturing. While the technology shows great promise, it is currently too immature for large-scale commercial applications.
A task therefore aims to enhance AM. The objective is to rapidly produce the finest quality steel products ever made, making use of an AM method and advanced alloys. The meant process should produce defect-free free metal components up to 2 m in size, and with minimal wastage, for usage in certain high-technology sectors.
Up to today, large batches of materials have been procured. The have always been equipment is operating, examples have been made, and new alloys and structures have been created and tested. The task is working on development metrology and in-process tracking. Brand new standards are rising and being applied inside the standardisation community. Preparations have actually been made for further work, to consist of manufacturing of AM test samples and intermediary components, and comparative standard tests.

Dragonflies and damselflies are aquatic insects found in and around the freshwater streams of Australia. They are probably best known to fly fishing enthusiasts who tie flies to resemble both the flying adult and underwater nymphal life stages. Ecologically, they are an important dietary component of fishes in these streams, and their presence or absence in water bodies is used as a water quality indicator.
The aquatic nymphs (the immature stage of the life cycle) have cylindrical or somewhat flattened elongated bodies with large eyes. The hinged mouth parts can be shot rapidly forward to seize prey. Some of the larger nymphs are well known to anglers, who use them as bait and call them mud-eyes. The adults are vividly coloured strong fliers with large wings that actively hunt other insects during daylight hours.
Damselfly nymphs have a cylindrical abdomen with three leaf-like gills attached to the posterior end. They are found commonly in the still water of ponds and lakes among aquatic vegetation. They are distributed throughout Australia and are found in many other parts of the world. The nymphs capture a wide variety of small invertebrates.

When adult damselflies are at rest, they hold their wings parallel to and above their abdomens. They are active predators and maintain territories near water bodies.

Dragonfly nymphs are often elongated, with flattened mouth parts beneath the head. The abdomen ends in a pyramidal structure rather than external gills (see photo). The gills are internal. Water is pumped through the gills and can be expelled as a jet from the abdomen, enabling the nymph to move rapidly. These nymphs are found in both still and running water, sometimes on the underside of boulders and cobbles in swift-flowing streams. The nymphs are predatory.

The nymphs of both damselflies and dragonflies have aquatic life cycles that last for at least a few months, and more usually for a year. The adults are also quite long-lived and probably spend weeks to months in this phase of the life cycle in Victoria.

Adult dragonflies are generally more sturdily built than adult damselflies and when at rest hold their wings outstretched from their body. They are also active predators and are usually seen near water bodies.

At least a quarter of all appliance repair calls are resolved with no-brainer solutions like pushing a button or flipping a circuit breaker. Learn what to look for and how to avoid these expensive lessons.
If your disposer won't start, push the reset button and give it a spin.
Don't put tea bags or too many potato peels all at once into your disposer. That's a sure way to clog it.
All disposers have an overload feature that automatically shuts off the power when the motor becomes overloaded and gets too hot. Once the motor cools, simply push the reset button on the side of or under the unit.
On the other hand, if it hums but doesn't spin, it may have something stuck in it. Switch the disposer off, then try working through it by turning the blades with a special disposer wrench (sold at home centers) or by turning a bottom bolt. Many disposers have an Allen wrench for that purpose, inset on the bottom of the machine.
If the circuit breaker hasn't tripped, look for a GFCI.
When a light goes out or a switch doesn't work, you should first check the main electrical panel for a tripped circuit breaker. But don't stop there. Before you change out light bulbs and switches, see if a GFCI outlet (which may be upstream from the troubled light or outlet) has tripped. Sometimes all the bathrooms or the outside lights are powered through a single GFCI located in one bathroom or elsewhere, such as in a basement. Simply push the reset button on the GFCI and you could be back in business.
Clean the coils if your refrigerator isn't cooling or conks out
Coil brushes are sold at appliance stores and home centers.
If your refrigerator conks out on a hot day and you have a cat or a dog, immediately check the coils for pet hair. Service pros find this problem on half of their refrigerator calls. The coils are the black tube-and-wire grid that cools the fluid in the compressor. A buildup of hair will cause the compressor to overheat and trigger the overload switch. On many fridges, you get to the coils by opening the grille at the bottom of the refrigerator. Then push a coil cleaning brush (sold at home centers) into the coils, pull it back and vacuum it clean.
If the coils are located on the back, pull out your fridge (it's often on rollers) and brush them off. Bonus: The clean coils will cool more efficiently and save you money on your utility bill!
Once the overload switch is tripped, you may have to wait a few hours for it to cool. It will reset itself and turn the refrigerator back on.
If the burner won't light, try cleaning the igniter.
Dirty igniters are the most common problem. It takes only a minute to clean them.
If your stove burner won't come on, the likely culprit is the spaghetti sauce that boiled over a few days ago. Use a toothbrush to clean off food spills from the igniter. On an electronic ignition stove, it's a little ceramic nub located either on the stovetop or under the ceramic seal strike plate. Also make sure that the round ceramic seal strike plate is properly seated on the burner.
Spread the burner prongs a little to create a better electrical connection.
If your electric stove burner won't heat, turn the burner off and pull it out from its socket. Then plug it in again and wiggle it around. If it feels loose, remove the burner again and gently bend the burner prongs slightly outward for a tighter connection. Easy does it. You could end up pushing the whole socket out of its bracket.
Try cleaning the pilot hole, then relight.
To access the ignition system in an older-style standard gas range, pop the lid. It's usually hinged on the back side. If the pilot flame is out, poke a needle into the pilot hole to clean out soot (be careful not to ream it wider). Brush off any debris and clean the tube that leads from the pilot to the burner. Then relight the pilot.
Oven won't heat? Check the clock and the timer setting. It doesn't always do what you think you told it to do.
Blame it on the technology. It so happens that if you set the "time cook" function, the oven, much like a programmed VCR, won't turn on until the appointed time. You may have done this inadvertently, but if your digital display reads "hold," "delay" or "time cook," then the timer is engaged. You'll have to clear it first by pushing the "off" button. On ovens with dials, be sure the knob is turned to "manual."
Quiet a noisy washer by leveling it.
Turn the leg up or down, then lock it in place by tighting the locking nut.
When a washing machine cabinet rocks, it makes a horrible racket during the spin cycle. The solution is to simply readjust the legs. Screw the front legs up or down until the cabinet is level. When both legs are solid on the floor, tighten each leg's locking nut. In most washers, to adjust the rear legs, gently tilt the machine forward and gently lower it down. The movement will self-adjust the rear legs.
Before calling the repairman, check the dryer settings—just in case.
If your clothes are still damp after a normal cycle and you use dryer sheets, check the filter.
Our expert repairman responds to many "dryer-not- heating calls" only to find that the machine is set to "fluff air"—a non-heat setting. Avoid the embarrassment. Check the settings first.
Another common cause of poor drying is a clogged lint filter. The filter may look clean, but it may actually be covered by a nearly invisible film caused by dryer sheets. This film reduces airflow and forces the thermostat to shut off the heat before your clothes are dry. Test your filter by pouring water into it. If the filter holds water, it's past time to clean it. Pull out the filter and scrub it in hot water with a little laundry detergent and a stiff kitchen brush.
Also check the outside dryer vent for any lint that may have built up there. The louver door–style vent covers are notorious for lint buildup, which traps heat and turns the heat off in the dryer. Pull the cover completely off to get to these clogs.
If your AC won't come on, the thermostat may be saying no.
Pull the fuse block and have them tested at a hardware store.
If you turn your central air conditioner on, off and then on again in rapid order, chances are you'll blow a fuse or shut off a circuit breaker or the air conditioner simply won't respond. That's because the compressor (in the outdoor condensing unit) may have stopped in a high compression mode, making it difficult to start until the compression releases. Older condensing units may switch the compressor on anyway, which causes the circuit to overload and blow a fuse. Newer, "smarter" condensing units will prevent this blunder by delaying the AC's "on" function for a few minutes. It's easy to mistake this delay with a faulty air conditioner. Be patient and give the air conditioner about five minutes to come back on.
To determine if you have a blown fuse, locate the special fuse block near the outside unit. Pull out the block and take the whole thing to the hardware store. A salesperson can test the cartridge fuses and tell you if you need to replace them.
Another simple reason your AC might not come on: You've signed up for a cost discount with your electric company in exchange for limited air conditioning during high-demand periods, and you're in an "off" period. If you can't remember, call your electric company to find out. You don't want to pay the repair technician to drive out and explain this program to you!
Clean the filter and float switch if the dishes don't come out clean.
When your dishwasher no longer gets your dishes clean, a food-filled filter is most often to blame. If it's clogged, water can't make it to the spray arms to clean the dishes in the top rack. The fix takes two minutes. Simply pull out the lower rack and remove the filter cover inside the dishwasher. (Check your owner's manual if you can't spot the filter.) Then use a wet vacuum to clean off the screen.
While you're there, slide the nearby float switch up and down. If it's jammed with mac and cheese, you won't get any water. If the cover sticks, jiggle it up and down and clean it with water.

Government Documents
At the third annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October 24, 1814, Isaiah Thomas advised members that "every measure that can be adopted to make the Society appear respectable as a national institution must be desirable." To achieve such stature, he suggested that members petition the federal government "to send the laws of the national government to be deposited and preserved in our library." Such action was taken, and this is reflected in the daily accounts of the debates and proceedings of the thirteenth Congress. On December 1, 1814, Congress approved "Resolution 7: For furnishing the American Antiquarian Society with a copy of the journals of Congress; and of the documents published under their order." This special act of Congress had the effect of making the Society the first depository library in the United States for federal documents (other than the Library of Congress).
Isaiah Thomas requested the legislatures of the several states to make provisions for deposit of their publications at AAS. Records from cities and towns were also solicited. Thomas' ambition has been fulfilled; today the Society holds one of the nation's finest collections of early American government documents.
The American State Papers and the nineteenth-century U.S. Serial Set form the basic collection of federal documents. The American State Papers contain reprints of the documents of the first fourteen Congresses (1789-1817), arranged by subject class in thirty-eight volumes; these are generally considered to be a part of the Serial Set. The Sheep-Bound (so called because of its early bindings) or Serial Set consists of congressional journals, reports, and related internal publications; executive branch material, including presidential messages and administrative reports of departments and agencies; and miscellaneous documents from independent bodies or commissions that were printed by order of Congress. The Society's set is virtually complete through 1876 and reasonably complete to the end of the nineteenth century, and in some instances, the set extends into the twentieth century. There is a massive body of congressional material, as well as annual reports and series publications from the Department of the Interior and its many bureaus, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Department of State, to name but a few. Miscellaneous sets issued by acts of Congress for independent bodies include American Archives (Washington, D.C., 1837-51), a documentary history of the American Revolution edited by Peter Force; The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (Washington, D.C., 1880-1902), and M.C. Perry's richly illustrated Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, Performed in the Years 1852, 1853, and 1854 (Washington, D.C., 1856).
As in most libraries, the serial set is arranged according to the Superintendent of Documents (SuDoc) classification system. This classification system is used as a method of identification in SuDoc bibliographies and lists, as well as lists issued by various government departments and agencies. Several partial indexes provide access to documents in the set. The most important of these for the Society's holdings is the Checklist of United States Public Documents 1789-1909 (Washington, D.C. 1911), which is fully annotated. Other major indexes to the nineteenth century serial set include B.P. Poore's A Descriptive Catalogue of the Government Publications of the United States, September 5, 1774-March 4, 1881 (Washington, D.C. 1885), A.W. Greely's Public Documents of the First Fourteen Congresses 1789-1817 (Washington, D.C. 1900), and J.G. Ames's Comprehensive Index to the Publication of the United States Government 1881-1893 (Washington, D.C. 1905). The 1977 publication of the CIS U.S. Serial Set Index provides excellent subject access to material in the set. The Society has part 1 (1789-1857) and part 2 (1857-1879) of the important finding aid, published by the Congressional Information Service, Inc.
AAS also holds an impressive collection of separately issued early federal documents. These include congressional journals, committee reports, presidential messages, treaties, laws, proclamations, and other official decrees. Those issued through 1830 are fully catalogued and are accessed through the Imprints Catalogue or online under corporate main entry (United States), and added entries and subject headings. Federal documents issued after 1830 have been catalogued selectively. Documents in the Broadsides collection printed through 1830 are fully catalogued and may be accessed online. Additionally, federal publications are found in the Frost Collection, the Reserve Collection, and U.S. Records Collection, 1777-1876, in the manuscripts department.
As a member of the depository library program, the Society still selects some current documents from the List of Classes of United States Government Publications Available for Selection by Depository Libraries. While the number of classes selected for deposit is small, the categories represent the collecting interests of the Society in areas of history, bibliography, and subjects in which it is already strong. Although the selected classes cover a variety of government bodies, the primary sources for these documents are the Department of the Interior, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Institution. Since 1977, a shelflist of current depository items has been maintained according to Superintendent of Document classification numbers. Occasionally, current publications are catalogued and integrated with the appropriate subject collection.
The Society has a representative selection of state and municipal documents issued through 1876 from all regions of the nation, and these provide an excellent body of material for historical and early legal research. Publications from the New England states, including legislative journals, session laws and statutes, are nearly complete through 1820 in their original editions. The Society holds many of the early laws and journals of New York State, as well as regions of the South and West, such as early acts and legislative journals of Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, and Indiana. State publications also include legislative manuals, annual reports on agriculture, commerce, and transportation, and various series publications such as that on the natural history of states.
The collection of municipal documents is especially strong for New England, although partial holdings do exist from all regions through 1876. There are municipal reports ranging from San Francisco to Portland, Maine, and from St. Louis to New Orleans. The Society has a fine collection of city and town ordinances and codes for New England and the central states; original or early editions of the charters of major cities; and a wide variety of annual reports relating to local matters such as education, public health, property assessments, crime, and recreation. Many municipal documents contain lovely illustrations. For example, New York City's Annual Report of the Board of Commissioners of the Central Park has important information on the design, description, and expenditures for the park, as well as superb plates of maps, engravings, lithographs, and early photographs of Central Park and its environs. The Society has a complete set of these fourteen reports, which were issued from 1857 to 1871.
State and municipal documents issued through 1830 are cataloged. Some state documents for the years 1831-1840 are also cataloged. The online and card catalogs provide access to the collection under appropriate jurisdiction (e.g., Connecticut; Concord, Massachusetts; etc.), as well as access by added entries and subject headings. These documents are integrated on the shelves throughout the library in the same manner as the federal documents. State and municipal publications issued after 1830 are uncatalogued, except on a very selective basis.
There are no specific bibliographies to ease access to state and municipal documents. State publications held by the Society are partially annotated in The Catalogue of the Library of the Law School of Harvard University (Cambridge, Mass., 1909). The uncatalogued sets of state and municipal documents generally have locally produced indexes to a particular series that are helpful in locating specific items. For example, the volume of Boston City Documents for 1875 includes a useful general subject index for their publications issued from 1834 to 1874. When attempting to locate any government documents, whether cataloged or uncataloged on the national, state, or local levels, users should be certain to consult with the staff of the readers' services department.
The Society continues to add to its preeminent collection of early American documents. Although separately issued works are scarce in today's market, AAS has recently acquired important government publications. For example, in 1974 a generous gift from Northeast Savings, formerly the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Worcester, Mass., enabled the Society to purchase 170 separately printed laws issued by the first four Congresses of the United States. This rare collection of `slip laws' included drafts of bills, texts of treaties, and proposed constitutional amendments. Known as the First Federal Collection, this uncommon group of working papers includes the first American copyright law, the first printing of the `Bill of Rights,' the first federal law regulating trade with the Indians, the first labor legislation, and the first law establishing a uniform rule for naturalization of citizens.
In effect, the Society serves as a depository for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century government documents in a twenty-first-century environment, much as Isaiah Thomas envisioned in 1814.

|AMD FX-8350 Vishera Desktop Processor
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Processors
|Written by David Ramsey
|Tuesday, 23 October 2012
Page 14 of 15
Piledriver Final Thoughts
I think that many people judge the AMD FX series processors from a flawed premise: that since these are the top-end AMD CPUs, they should be compared against the top-end Intel CPUs. This might have been a valid criterion last year, when the newly-introduced FX-8150 was more expensive than Intel's competing processors, but since then AMD has wised up and priced the FX-8350 very attractively. Of course, Intel could erase this advantage overnight by lowering the price on their CPUs, but they haven't done so when the price of the FX-8150 dropped, and I don't think they'll do it now.
AMD's new Vishera CPUs, represented by this top-of-the-line FX-8350, offer incremental performance and overclocking improvements over the previous generation. The Piledriver cores have some IPC improvements and the fabrication process has been refined, making higher overclocks possible. There's something kinda cool about running your octo-core desktop machine at 5GHz.
AMD's using clock speed and cores to compete in performance with Intel's superior IPC, and to some degree it's working. Let's compare the FX-8350's benchmark scores with the Intel Core i5-2500K.
In Benchmark Reviews' previous test of the FX-8150, it scored overall 2.2% slower than the Core i5-2500K. With this particular mix of benchmarks, the FX-8350 scores an overall 3.5% higher, so that's progress, albeit of the incremental variety. But remember this is testing against the Core i5-2500K, rather than its successor Core i5-3750K, which is doubtless faster. I'll spare you another giant chart and tell you that across the benchmarks I ran, the FX-8350 was, on average, just over 10% faster than the FX-8150. Again, this is in line with the performance improvement we saw when Intel moved from its Sandy Bridge architecture to Ivy Bridge.
What makes the FX-8350 more competitive than the FX-8150 is its introductory MSRP. When the FX-8150 was introduced, its MSRP was $269.99, which was a good $50 more than the Core i5-2500K was selling for at the time. And many e-tailers were selling the FX-8150 for significant markups-- I saw prices over $300 in the first weeks after its introduction. Now we have the FX-8350 offering better performance and overclocking, but at an MSRP of only $199.00. So the top-end FX CPU goes from being slightly slower but significantly more expensive than the 2500K to being slightly faster and $20 cheaper.
AMD touts their position as the sole eight-core desktop processor, and rightly so. While having eight cores on your desktop is possible with an Intel Xeon CPU, some of which will work in consumer motherboards, you'll pay thousands of dollars for the privilege. However, you should think about what benefits having eight cores will really bring. The big win is for applications that perform easily parallelizable tasks, such as video or audio transcoding or advanced rendering applications, whose work can be divided into an arbitrary number of threads and processed in parallel. Note the big wins the FX-8350 had in x264Bench HD, SPECapc rendering, Handbrake, and CINEBENCH multi-core rendering. To match or exceed the performance of the FX-8350 in these benchmarks would require a much more expensive Intel Core i7-2700K or 3770K CPU.
The other advantage of multiple cores is simply to let your system perform more tasks without bogging down. Here the benefit (once you get past four or so cores) is less evident. For example, a modern game might have separate threads for main game logic, AI, and preparing scenes for the video card to render, but since each thread only runs on one core, each thread is still constrained by AMD's lower core performance. And developer tools haven't been quick to incorporate support for AMD's new instructions, which is a pity since their use can substantially increase performance.
Of course, it's not all about CPU performance. For one thing, computers are fast enough now. As a reviewer for Benchmark Reviews, I maintain top-end Intel and AMD systems for test beds. By any benchmark my Intel Core i7-3960 six-core Sandy Bridge Extreme based system is much faster than my AMD FX-8350 system. But I can honestly say that I never notice any performance difference when using the AMD system...nothing I do, including gaming, is noticeably slower on the AMD box. Of course anyone who buys a Sandy Bridge Extreme system for gaming is simply throwing money away, but the point remains.
And there are advantages to the 990FX platform over Intel's LGA1155 platform, most notably the 42 (38 available, 4 used for communications with the SB950) PCI-E lanes you get as compared to the paltry 24 available on a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge system. Intel's using PCI-E lanes as a product differentiator between its very expensive LGA2011 systems and its mainstream LGA1155 systems, and this means that unless you buy an expensive LGA1155 motherboard with a PLX chip, you may discover that not all of your USB 3 and SATA 6 ports are available at the same time.
But even these rationalizations don't need to be made right now, because although the FX-8350 certainly doesn't threaten Intel's performance lead, it does offer a very competitive price/performance ratio in the mid-range CPU market. The FX-8350 is more than enough CPU for any consumer or even hard core gamer. There's no longer any need to "make excuses" for AMD.
the threading and core parking updates can make a bit of a difference to benchmarks especially in lightly threaded situations
The extra performance is not Earth shattering, but it is good enough to consider buying into. I will not be selling my i7-2600k system anytime soon, but I can see an upgrade to this new FX-8350 happening within a few months.
Thanks for the review David.
When we review motherboards, processors, and the like, test systems are built, a fresh copy of Win 7 is installed, and we're good to go. Since Windows 7 will run for 30 days without requiring an activation code, it's easy to create fresh installations as needed. After the review is done, test systems are generally torn back down and the parts saved for future tests/comparisons.
Windows 8 requires a valid activation code just to install it-- you can't skip this step as you can with Win 7. Then it's locked down to the system it was installed on.
Right now that means we'd have to buy a new copy of Windows 8 for every video card, motherboard, or CPU we test. This isn't viable, and we're trying to figure out what to do about it.
'cause I just looked at their review and they used a different motherboard, different memory, different hard drive, and different video card, as well as an almost completely different set of benchmarks.
The only two benchmarks we have in common are PCMark 7 Pro and Handbrake. You can't compare the Handbrake results since we used different input files with different settings.
PCMark 7 Pro tests the entire system, not just the processor (as I specifically mention in my review), so it's not surprising that with different hardware they get different results. Our Creativity scores were virtually equal (less than 0.5% difference); our Computation score was much better (6468 vs. 5083) and our Productivity score was less.
Which proves precisely nothing, except that you have no idea whatsoever what you're talking about.
it's silly for you to make claims without a single modicum of proof to support the argument. As the author points out, you can't compare completely different computer systems and expect the same benchmark score. Perhaps these in-depth technology reviews require a level of understanding you lack.
My personal philosophy for CPU reviews is to run a LOT of benchmarks, since different benchmarks show different things.
The reviews I've read on other sites so far seem to have all reached similar conclusions: faster than Piledriver, competitive in most uses with midrange Intel CPUs.
The 8150 came out claiming native 1866 support, which to most implies one can fill the DRAM slots and run 1866, after untold complaints from people trying to run just 4x4GB (16GB total) of 1866, the advertising was changed to reflect 1866 at 1 DIMM Per Channel. AMD's BIOS and Kernel Guide for Developers reflects the same info (and that was based on 4GB DIMMs)....
I ask about the DRAM as AMD has been notorious for having weak Memory Controllers, (i.e. the initial 965 in general, couldn't carry 1600 DRAM until the C3 revision), so the CPU itself, primarily it's Memory Controller, does have a major say in what DRAM (frequency, density, total) it can run.
I, and I know of many others, would love to give this CPU a try, and see how it would do with the 8 cores....if it can support a sufficient amount of DRAM of a high frequency to run multiple VMs and applications. If in fact it runs 1866 as 'native' as AMD claims would be nice to see it run 32GB of same and if it CAN run faster DRAM.
Also of note: Would be interesting to see how the 8350 stands straight up to a 2500K with both OCed - most 2500Ks will run easily stable at 4.7 or better - vs the 5.0 of the 8350, keeping in mind of course the 2500K is now almost 2 years old, or better yet vs the 3570K (generally will run 4.5-4.6 with few problems or heat), which as of today at both the Egg and Tiger is about $5 less than the 8350
Newegg "$15 off w/ promo code EMCJNHD27, ends 11/1"
As far as memory frequency if there's nothing to be concerned about between 1600 and 1866, then why not test at the CPU's true 'native' freq of 1333? Regardless, my question was how about large amounts of DRAM at high freq, i.e. can it handle 32GB @ 1600, 1866, 2133, 2400 etc. I originally brought up the question as the testing was done with 8GB, not the 16 you have loaded currently. I know most of my customers, look for 16GB to start and even systems that are planned primarily for gaming, those folks want 8GB min to start....and when looking to enthusiast systems, most want to get the most out of the system they can, whether it be gaming, rendering video, imaging work, GIS with large data sets, VMs where higher freqs = greater MTs (Mega Transfers per sec) or higher bandwidth. Maybe it's just me, but when I pull my DRAM out of one of my systems 2133 or 2400 and put in 1600 or even 1866 and run that in a like amount, I can 'see' a difference, especially when I start opening up say Win8 in a VM and play with images and be working with GIS or video in Win7
Here at Benchmark Reviews we have had occasion to test high frequency memory, and we've never found any quantifiable real-world difference in performance other than on synthetic memory benchmarks. If you can suggest a real-world application that benefits, with some numbers to back it up (rather than your 'feel'), we'd be interested to here about it.
I guess our thoughts as far as real world computing or quantifiable examples differ, I look to utilizing the cores of multiprocessor CPUs as an example, which is why I mentioned opening Win8 in a VM and rendering a video, while at the same time being in Win7 and running GIS, where as you talk about running a single app or benchmark at a time (i.e. how many of those 8 cores were actively doing anything in any one of the benchmarks, ever consider running multiple benchmarks at the same time?...might be surprised what you find). Further I said I could ?see? a difference when using faster DRAM, as in, things get done faster, not ?feel? as you imply somewhat sarcastically.
Again, if you can suggest some real world tests that will show the advantage of high speed memory, we're all ears.
Performance is NOT a warm fuzzy feeling you get, it's a quantifiable result. Anyone with an understanding of DDR3 memory will tell you that clock speed isn't important in contrast to latency. I even wrote a long in-depth technical article about: bit.ly/PoNdE8
Stop commenting, and start reading about the technology behind these items. You're asking us to run DDR3-2800 for the sake of a CPU test, which doesn't make sense to anyone who understands the pipeline architecture of a PC. Even if we wanted to run such a ridiculous test, finding compatible hardware components that consistently performed to this level would be extremely difficult.
As far as the technology goes, I'm rather comfortable with my knowledge, which is one of the reasons I didn't ask you to test with 2800 as you claim, in fact for 2800 the 3770K is about the only CPU that can carry 2800, so it's ridiculous for you to claim I said that (yet both you and David seem to delight in twisting what people say here). I simply asked if faster sets were looked at, one reason being you all tested the 8150 with 1866 sticks, so why drop to 1600 when you have a newer more powerful CPU (and in fact the 8150 had better bench results running with 1866 that it does here running with more DRAM 8GB vs 4GB in the original test/review), yet only using 1600 here.
Also in reading the reviews here, as long as you brought up reading about the technology here, in the review on the 1866 16GB Ares, it states as a CON the DRAM XMP profile doesn't set the specified speed and timings, which as you should know, the DRAM itself doesn't actually set things, it provides information in the SPD and it is up to the BIOS to take in and implement that info (i.e. it's not the RAMs fault), in the same review it's said it's not as cost effective as buying two 8GB sets, which may be considered a con-but most DRAM manufacturers recommend against mixing two sets or more, even of the same exact model - the XMP programming is done by the set which will differ between 2 and 4 stick sets, often leaving one to have to manually set up the sticks (in particular the advanced/secondary timings like tRFC (which can be a bear for most all users). There's also other DRAM reviews that have questionable items
Another good example is: earlier you commented "That wouldn't be a part of any CPU review, since it's more of a motherboard feature/limitation. The CPU can operate with any frequency, but the motherboard needs to support the speed and density first"
Which I also differed with and explained, and you failed to reply to. According to that statement you imply an entry level socket 1155, I3 can run 32GB of 2800 DRAM...if the motherboard supports it...I disagreed and again explained myself, Could you also explain your premise to that statement? Just curious.
For example, as you point out, in my FX-8150 review I used DDR3-1866 memory on the AMD processor and DDR3-1600 memory on the Intel processor. The idea was to show each CPU in the best light with its highest officially supported memory frequency.
Wow, you should have seen the comments I got on that. For example, one commenter "Jim Reece" said "I'll give you that you did your best to cripple the 2500K", because I didn't run 1866 DRAM with it. He also took me to task for using a 2500K as the comparison (AMD's stated performance target) rather than a 2600K or 2700K, apparently under the impression that I have every Intel CPU ever made in a box here or something.
In the end this commenter was so disgusted with me, certain that I was simply a shill for AMD, that he said "No need to reply, I'm gone, I'll stick with sites that ACTUALLY perform reviews that are objective rather than w/ bias."
But you know what? He came back. Not only did he come back, he applied to be a reviewer here. After missing several promised dates to complete his first review, he informed us that he wouldn't be a "good fit" because he's a "straight shooter" (and, as he informed us a year or so ago, we're biased) and launched into a bizarre screed attacking several of our other reviews on technical points, all of which were wrong.
We hope he's gone for good this time.
You can select how much of drive you use while retaining programs on it.

Just been reading your benchmark test on the new trinity APU's (very good article), I used the A10 in a recent mini-itx build (Bit_fenix prodigy).
Ive had a request to build a rig for someone on a tightish budget, my first thought given the money available was to put in a AMD Piledriver FX-4 Quad Core 4300 and a 1gb 7850 gpu - total price: 210gbp, then I thought what about the A8-5600k crossfired with a HD6670 at approx: 134gbp.
I haven't been able to find any benchmarks unfortunately, I think its a pretty relevant question at the moment.
Many Thanks

If you do run apps that can spawn a lot of threads, well, 8 cores rocks. But aside from transcoding and rendering, there aren't a lot of apps that can really leverage this power.
If I get a 2x4GB DDR3 1866MHz memory kit paired with the FX-8350 (working in dual-channel of course), will each module actually work at 1866MHz or what? Is it really much of an advantage to buy DDR3 1866MHz memory kits to be used on the AMD platform?
That said, in general high speed memory kits are more for racking up high benchmark scores than any noticeable improvement in performance. You'll be lucky to see an extra FPS or two. With 1600MHz memory being the standard these days-- and cheap as well-- there's little real-world reason to pay more for faster memory.

Does anyone know how the US plans on sending anyone to compete at 4cc since nationals ends Jan 24 and 4cc starts the 25 in Korea?
Does anyone know how the US plans on sending anyone to compete at 4cc since nationals ends Jan 24 and 4cc starts the 25 in Korea?
Good question. I do not know the answer.
The way the Nationals schedule is set up this year, this will not be a problem for the men and pairs, who will finish their events by Jan. 17. I would guess that the International Committee will name the men's and pairs international assignments as soon as the nationals results are in.
It will be a problem for the ladies and especially the ice dancers, who will finish competing on Jan. 23 (or 22 for the dancers?). The exact schedules for Nationals and 4Cs haven't been released yet. It's likely that the CDs at 4Cs would take place on Jan. 26, which only leaves about 3 days for the dance teams to get to Korea.
I would also expect that none of the Olympic team members will go to 4Cs.
If no Olympic team members from any country go to 4CC, that nearly gives the U.S. a lock on the 4CC ladies' title. While the U.S. may not have any ladies' superstars at the moment, we do have an unusually deep team. Whichever U.S. ladies do not go to the Olympics should be able to take the title.
True but with the the ladies free skate being on the 23 it gives them no time to prepare for 4CC. Its the same thing with dance.
I wish US nationals weren't held so late each year. I think the skaters would be fine if it was a week earlier.

Do US citizens need visa to enter Korea? If they require visa, I can't see any possibility to send the teams pending the Nationals result.

This location was incredibly knowledgeable about cross contamination (the sauces!). Had just gone through sensitivity training where they are to balance accommodation and making an embarrassing big deal out of (for the record, our family would never be embarrassed by accommodation). if you haven't tried their GF brownies, you are missing out.
370 E 2nd St 370 R, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Amazing application. Very helpful indeed
3707 Ocean Beach Hwy, Longview, WA 98632
not bad, they were very careful not to cross contaminate

This store has gf buns and gf prepackaged brownies!!! The buns are fab!
108 S Water St, Kittanning, PA 16201
Gluten free buns here. Make sure to check online for the sauces though. They were very accommodating.
821 W 7th Ave, Corsicana, TX 75110
The young lady that took my order today seemed surprised and nervous, but she found the instructions for gluten free, washed her hands, put on new gloves and got a new tray. At this point she informed the other staff that she was the only one that can touch this order. She got a new knife out to slice the bread, not realizing that it was already sliced. She was very professional and made me feel really comfortable. The bread was much softer than I expected. I will definitely go back!
1920 Cascade Ave, Hood River, OR 97031
The staff was kind and receptive to my requests. They washed hands, new gloves,used double paper and clean tray to move sandwhich. One employee pulled out new, un touched meat and cheese. There was a chance of contamination through produce though. For us, we felt safe eating.
261 South Columbia Street, Seaside, OR 97138
They did a great job making sure there was no cross contamination. The bread was really tasty.
130 Mansfield Ave, Norton, MA 02766
sealed go sub roll, prepared on new paper surface, gloves are changed. friendly and knowledgeable. wish more subways offered this.
Well, I ordered a salad, the lady changed gloves but there must have been crumbs on the meat, tomatoes, etc. I was so sick later that evening. I can't go there anymore. It was horrible!
38950 Proctor Blvd, Sandy, OR 97055
The staff was very friendly and conscious of cross contamination. They changed their gloves and used separate utensils and were very careful when touching sources for possible cross contamination while preparing my sandwich. I will definitely be back!
900 Greenbank Rd #1013, Ottawa, ON K2J 1S8, Canada K2J 1S8
So happy to see that Subway now has a gluten free bun. It tastes very good. They list all the ingredients that you can have and their staff were very prepared. One employee even showed us what Chips were gluten free.
626 MacArthur Blvd, Pocasset, MA 02559
They have gf bread. For some reason this is the only subway that I found with gf bread in the area. With the bread it gives you a lot more options to eat
3915 Lamar Ave, Paris, TX 75460
Did great on my salad. Changed their gloves, knives and even changed their liners . They took care in making my salad which I appreciated. Just make sure any meats are either a newer stack or package.
1101 W Elizabeth St, Lot 1, Unit 1101, Campus West Shopping Center, Fort Collins, CO 80524
Very good GF bread. Have them toast it before and after the meat/cheese and it makes it much better. Most options are GF and can be found online. They do charge $1 extra / 6 inch but can't say it's not worth it compared to other places at the moment.
210 Waterford St, Edinboro, PA 16412
will change gloves but all they have are salads and most chips are gluten free.
210 Waterford St, Edinboro, PA 16412
Will change gloves and take extra precaution.
Goldens Bridge Shopping Center, Goldens Bridge, NY 10526
This particular store does a GF six inch. The owner made my sandwich and changed his gloves twice! He was very careful and I could observe the entire process. A+
620 Maple St, Big Rapids, MI 49307
There's no GF menu. I have no idea why it's listed on this site.
Goldens Bridge Shopping Center, Goldens Bridge, NY 10526
Really great G/F 6 inch rolls!
3707 Ocean Beach Hwy, Longview, WA 98632
They store the ingredients for gluten free sandwiches in a separate refrigerator so no cross contamination should occur. They have a gluten free bread. It's a bit dry but at least it's bread I can eat. The girl working washed her hands really well and put on new gloves.
1007 1st Ave E, Newton, IA 50208
They have some good salads!!
5961 6th Ave, Tacoma, WA 98406

Absolute best experience I have had! super knowledgeable! They cleaned and sanitized everything before prepping my food. I am beyond impressed.
1521 W Commerce St, Buffalo, TX 75831
Had gluten free bun on menu, it is stored and heated separately from their other baked goods so I was able to have a club sandwich. Also had an individually wrapped GF brownie.
1869 Plaza Dr, Olean, NY 14760
Staff seemed to know about it. Sub rolls in sealed wrapper. Also offered individual sealed brownies
460 East Main Street, Pullman, WA 99163
They were very friendly and awesome about being careful of cross-contamination! Bread was yummy and soft when toasted
261 South Columbia Street, Seaside, OR 97138
Kyle was amazing. the extent he went to making sure our sandwich was safe to eat was comforting. we have not had a subway in 2 years. what a great surprise on our vacation. who would have guessed, GF buns and brownies at subway. thank you.
821 North Belt Line Road, Irving, TX 75061
Staff is knowledgeable on gluten-free procedures and VERY accommodating. They even have a GF DF brownie in addition to their buns.
3046 Lavon Dr #128, Garland, TX 75040
Get the bread toasted, it come out soft and warm. I am so glad to have a sandwich again.
698 Ocean Shores Boulevard Northwest, Ocean Shores, WA 98569
This was the first Subway that we tried the GF bread so we were worried at first. However we had a VERY knowledgeable staff member. Felt 100% safe eating here. He changed his gloves and washed his hands and touched nothing but the bread and vegetables, had coworkers wipe down counters, open and close toaster, put sauces on for him so he didn't touch bottles and everything! They had the GF bread and the GF brownies which were delicious. Highly recommend this location.
215 Whitesell Street Northwest, Orting, WA 98360
We used to eat salads here all the time, and never had a problem. Now they have the GF bread which is even better. We usually get the club, so it has lots of meat; and we always toast it because it holds together better that way.
1178 Enterprise Drive, Kum & Go Gas Station C-Store, Riverside, IA 52327
Super attentive employees. Make THE best salads I have ever had from this chain. I was not sick from here though cross contamination is certainly a high risk at any Subway location. Love, love, loved my food.
460 East Main Street, Pullman, WA 99163
The bread tastes fantastic. They are very careful not to cross-contaminate, wash hands, get new gloves separate trays, etc. and use separate trays for the sandwich toppings

Before the House Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations on Teaching and K-12 Education Programs
March 18, 2004
|Contact: (202) 401-1576
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
It's a privilege to be here today with Deputy Secretary Hickok and have this opportunity to talk about key issues related to the No Child Left Behind Act. As many of you know, I joined the Department early this year, and it has been both interesting and educational to move from the State superintendent's office in Arkansaswhere I was on the receiving end of Federal requirements and fundingto helping to make policy and funding decisions here in Washington.
Fiscal year 2005 is a critical year for No Child Left Behind. The 2005 appropriation will fund the 2005-2006 school year, a year that will witness two significant milestones under the new law. First, States and school districts will begin testing all students in grades 3-8 in reading and mathematics. This is a necessary step toward giving teachers the data they need to teach effectively and parents the information they need to assess the progress of their children's education.
Second, as you have heard from the Deputy Secretary, all teachers must be highly qualified by the end of the 2005-2006 school year. Research tells us there is no better single way of improving education than by putting a highly qualified teacher in every classroom, and in this as in so many things, No Child Left Behind is all about putting research into practice.
It's exciting to be so close to full implementation of the law, but it's also a reminder that there is a lot of work to be done over the next two years. I suspect many of us at the Department will soon begin to feel a little bit like the Olympics organizers in Athens, who are rewarded for years of planning and hard work by having to work even harder in the final months before the Summer Games begin.
That's okay, though, because it is hard for me to imagine anything more worthwhile than the goals of No Child Left Behind. I'm proud to be part of an Administration that has demonstrated such a strong commitment to expanding educational opportunity and improving achievement for all students.
The President's budget would provide a total of almost $25 billion for No Child Left Behind programs in fiscal year 2005, an increase of $7.4 billion, or 43 percent, since the President took office.
The President has consistently dedicated most new elementary and secondary education resources to the Title I Grant to Local Educational Agencies programthe key driver of No Child Left Behind reforms in the areas of accountability and parental optionsand this is the case for 2005 as well. Our budget includes $13.3 billion for Title I, an increase of $1 billion over the 2004 level.
This request is critical because Title I helps the children who are most in need of extra educational assistance, who are most in danger of falling further behind, who are on the wrong side of the staggering achievement gap between poor and minority students and their more advantaged peers.
These students also would benefit from the President's Jobs for the 21st Century initiative, which would provide a total of $333 million in new resources to help ensure that middle- and high-school students are better prepared to succeed in postsecondary education and the workforce. This initiative includes, for example, $100 million for a Striving Readers program that would help struggling readers at risk of dropping out of secondary school, as well as $120 million for a Secondary Education Mathematics proposal to improve the math skills of secondary school students who are performing below grade level.
In addition, the 2005 request would expand support for Reading First, the President's signature initiative to provide at-risk children in grades K-3 the benefits of research-based, comprehensive reading instruction designed to ensure that all children read on grade level by the end of third grade. The request includes $1.1 billion for Reading First State Grants, an increase of $101 million, or 10 percent, over last year, as well as $132 million for Early Reading First, an increase of $38 million, or 40 percent.
Our budget also reflects President Bush's determination to extend educational options to all parents and studentsnot just those who can afford this freedom. No Child Left Behind has greatly expanded the choices available to students in low-performing schools, including both the option to transfer to a better school and to obtain supplemental educational services from a private-sector provider. And this fall we will for the first time provide Federally funded opportunity scholarships to low-income students in the District of Columbia.
The President's 2005 budget would build on these achievements by investing an additional $113 million in expanding choices for students and parents. This total includes $50 million for a Choice Incentive Fund that would support new transfer options, including private school options, and a $63 million increase for the Credit Enhancement for Charter School Facilities program, which encourages greater private sector lending to finance facilities for charter schools.
The President's 2005 budget request for the Department of Education demonstrates his ongoing commitment to investing in educational excellence and achievement. But it also reaffirms that the Federal role in education should be based on leadership, particularly in the areas of high standards, accountability, and the use of proven educational methods. Only in combination with this leadershipexemplified by the No Child Left Behind Actwill the resources provided by the Congress have the impact we have all hoped for over the past four decades.
Thank you again for the opportunity to testify today. I would be happy to take any questions you may have.

Regardless of where you grew up, St. Marys, Georgia, feels like home. The corner market sells fresh-baked treats, and the staff at Sterling's Southern Café knows everyone by name. At Seagle's Saloon, bartender Cindy Deen affectionately calls customers "losers" as she serves them the usual. Younger folks may be itching to leave, but odds are they'll return and carry on the family traditions.
Life rolls at a relaxed pace. For those in more of a hurry, big-league sports, an international airport, and cultural attractions of Jacksonville, Florida, await 45 minutes to the south.
"People know your business―which can be good and bad," longtime resident Angie Mock says, laughing. "But five of my seven kids live here, and I will never leave. We love the quiet speed." Angie grew up in St. Marys, five blocks from Emma's Bed and Breakfast, one of two local businesses she now owns. A walk from the B&B down Osborne Street, the main drag, takes you through downtown. You encounter no traffic. No stoplights. Only a sporty golf cart carrying a smiling couple who wave as though they know you.
Where Osborne ends at St. Marys Street, restaurants, fishing piers, and a submarine museum overlook the St. Marys River, thick with barrier islands. "I hope everyone can see this view at least once," says Janet Brinko, director of tourism. "Across the way is Fernandina Beach." Sure enough, the bountiful trees beyond the river are in Florida. A ferry lends access to Cumberland Island National Seashore, which attracts a steady but manageable flow of tourists to town.
Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base has brought thousands of newcomers to St. Marys since it opened in 1978. Some move on to their next station, but others settle here for good. "I have retired Navy friends who kept their house rented for more than 15 years because they knew they would come back to St. Marys," says resident Linda Victory.
St. Marys has had hardships―the Durango-Georgia paper mill recently closed, putting many people out of work (but also eliminating the mill's odor). The land is being repurposed for housing, shopping, restaurants, and possibly a hotel/convention center. Residents like the new development, as long as it doesn't get too popular. Says St. Marys Submarine Museum manager John Crouse, "We are small town, USA, and that's the way we like it."
