PUPPET-PACKED production Avenue Q opened for a colourful run at Bridgwater Arts Centre last Tuesday.
Pinstripe Productions' all-singing, alldancing 'fur fest', which has won three Tony Awards, told the story of struggling college graduate Princeton as the real world of New York hits him right between the eyes.
The inevitable parallel with Sesame Street has been drawn but this show does not shy away from its adult themes, which span sex and relationships, to living on the breadline – it has a parental advisory rating of 12.
Edward Creswick and Philip Cox, who work at Bridgwater estate agent CJ Hole, are Princeton and Nikky, two of the show's leading characters. CJ Hole is also sponsoring the show.
Philip, who plays the loveable but lazy room-mate, Nikky, said: "It's really good fun and ever so funny. We're still laughing at the script now – some of it is very close to the knuckle.
"We're all seasoned professionals in this area, but we've never worked with puppets before, so we have to do the lips, the arms, the facial expressions, anything the puppets can't do.
"They can't do frowns or smiles, so you have to do that as an actor, so people then look at you and the puppet as one."
The show has had a tight turnaround, which may be a surprise given the West End show's prestige.
Philip said: "It has only taken 11 weeks to come together. We had a guy come in from the West End to give us training one weekend.
"He was in the original production in London and he showed us how to work the puppets properly."
Philip is aided by Josh Fischer, who plays his 'right arm', as well as 'imaginary bears'.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/User:PF4Eva/Mr. Nice Guy/archive2
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
< Uncyclopedia:Pee Review | User:PF4Eva/Mr. Nice GuyRedirected from Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/User:PF4Eva/Mr. Nice Guy
edit User:PF4Eva/Mr. Nice Guy
I have just given the page a good shot or two of humor and now I think it's ready for the main space. Let me know what you think, thanks! PF4Eva, the King of Imagination talk Contributions 00:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
|The humor in this piece feels a little like hurling darts blindfolded and hoping some of them will hit the target. A couple of them do, sure, and there are few chuckles - but fill 20,000 bytes (!) with anything random, and something will hit the mark. Eventually, it just gets kind of tedious, slogging on and waiting for your next chuckle. I'm sorry this seems harsh, but you've really got to raise the level of consistency of this thing before it goes public.
Here's a list of some of what did and didn't work for me.
|Okay, this is what's really killing you. What is the concept of this article? It could work if it were a parody of a biography of a 1950s crooner or standards-writer... but it isn't. It's got all this stuff in it about helping little old ladies across the street, cross-dressing, televangelism, working at Disneyland... it's all over the place. If you can't understand what the joke is about, you won't get the joke.
|Prose and formatting:
|Most of the prose seems consistently "professional," as one would expect to find in an encyclopedia or biography. Some of it doesn't, like "Least that's what you'd fucking think!" or "He got fired after forgetting to fart." Breaking out of a professional tone into something else can be funny, but you have to establish the tone, first. Anyway, though, the prose is pretty much adequate.
|Some of the images are the best part of this piece, I think. The "F-I-N G-E-R P-E-N-I-S" picture was particularly amusing. I liked the "Mr. *ice guy" photo, but it's not captioned ideally, I think - the idea that Niceguy held a job as Rice-O-Roni is perhaps a little too weird to be funny.
|Final Score:
|Sorry, man, but I think this one needs to go all the way back to the drawing board. Or maybe to the drawing board for the first time, because that's the main problem with the article: it seems like you started writing it with very little plan for what it was going to be. I think the first thing you've got to ask yourself is "What is this a parody of?" Go from there.
|Hyperbole 21:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
But I don't need any more pee.
Thank you! I think I have everything fixed now. I'm gonna move it to the main space and see what everybody else thinks about the humor. PF4Eva, the King of Imagination talk Contributions 21:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

A WEIGHT loss leader prepared for a busy new year by meeting reality TV star Mark Wright.
Amie Meloy, who manages Slimming World groups in Burnley and Pendle, said she is aiming to promote the importance of improving health as the new year starts.
The Only Way is Essex star Wright, who now fronts ITV2 show Take Me Out The Gossip, met Amie recently at the weight loss organisation's annual awards ceremony to celebrate its most successful slimmers.
Amie, who lost 10 stones with the weight loss programme, was thrilled to get the chance to pose for a photo with Mark, at the event in Birmingham.
Mark said: "I was abs-olutely blown away by the people who joined us on stage.
"I couldn't believe how much weight they'd lost, and what a difference it had made to their lives.
"They were like compl-etely different people.
"In fact, throughout the day I met so many fantastic people, not only the slimmers collecting awards, but also amazing people like Amie, who run and manage the Slimming World groups and help them achieve so much."
Amie, who slimmed down from 21 stone 8lbs, said meet- ing Mark was the perfect ending to a great year.
"But there's still a lot of work to be done," she said.
"With one of the highest levels of obesity in Europe right here in the UK, we want to help even more people to slim down and improve their health start-ing this January.
"At this time of year lots of people will be making new year's resolutions and pledging to lose weight, and we'd love anyone who wants to make a change to come along and join us."

Who would be interested in a designer solar cooker? Probably some of the people with the greatest energy footprint on the planet.
A unit that comes pre-assembled with retail convenience and a choice of 12 designer enamel colours on the body might actually get somewhere. Showing people how to pack together mud and straw into a parabola will never have an impact in markets with the greatest (over)use of energy.
Every household on earth can immediately pursue the personal and global benefit through the use of solar cooking and heating. Popularising solar cooking technology in all countries, including in Europe and North America, should be a central goal, though it is not generally discussed by solar cooking advocates at the moment. There is no reason to neglect these markets, both for the direct gains to the environment in promoting use of renewable energy from the sun, and to develop the markets for solar cooking in general.
North American and European households can generally afford to invest in solar cooking without the hesitation that might naturally occur in a household in a developing country with only scarce resources. The decision to try solar cooking is relatively a much smaller risk for an affluent family, as a negative outcome will not significantly affect prosperity of the household.
Indeed the solar cooking sector is new, has much to learn, and prosperous countries may make a better, more flexible, creative laboratory than developing countries where the risk of a failed cooking method have such immediate and profound consequences for a poor family - risks that would not befall a family in a high income country.
By way of analogy, many developing countries have improved their telecommuncations capacity by studying what works in the west and adopting refined solutions at a late stage of development instead of moving through all the intermediate steps. For example; moving to the use of cell phones directly instead of developing a ubiquitous wired communications network first.
There is no reason why the adoption of solar cooking could not develop along the same pattern.
With that in mind, it would be important to examine cultural variables that affect the dissemination of solar cooking within Europe and North America. In wealthy markets focused on consumer choice, existing solar cooking implementations are not appropriate. Within the solar cooking sector, all of the focus is currently placed on economical construction techniques for markets with limited access to resources, while the North American or European consumer prefers convenience and aesthetics. No thought is given to the appearance or integration of a solar cooker into the sort of kitchen that western consumers enjoy, and the technology is thus commonly rejected out-of-hand as a fringe endeavour.
Focus on design, beauty, luxury and convenience: Solar cooking can easily be re-imagined with these parameters in mind, and the resulting revised technologies, supported by modern consumer marketing methods, would likely win a much much greater market share. Again this would yield direct benefits in high-energy-use markets of North America and Europe, greatly expand awareness of the technology, and provide a platform for development and dissemination of the technology worldwide.
Cultural variables and appropriate technology, need to be considered in view of what is appropriate in a European / North American / G8 context as much as anywhere.
Harvesting a positive externality
By focusing on aesthetic qualities, style, and convenience, instead of economy and "minimalism," the solar cooker movement could harness consumerism to great advantage. People don't need to know they are saving the world. If they are happy with their zero-fossil-fuel, celebrity-endorsed, luxury solar ovens, then let them enjoy it. People who can afford to remodel their kitchens can afford to invest in luxury solar.

Seeing only one match in the round of 64, all three of the Lions' three singles wins came in the round of 32. Aloua Adjenak earned the first win as he bounced Valdosta State's Sebastian Jasyk in three sets, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4. Matt Nicholson-Lewis posted the next singles victory as he overturned Valdosta State's Tammo Haake in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0. Victor Lozier bookended single competitions with an tranquil two-set win over Rollins' Cooper Maxwell, 6-0, 6-1.
All three advanced to the round of 16 on Friday, while Ismail Lemtouni will compete out of the consolation bracket.
In flight A doubles, the Lions got off on the right foot as Lemtouni and Bruno Sisti teamed-up to oust West Alabama's Anton Ivanov and Adam Drysdale, 8-3. After that very same duo came up just shy of an upset win over Lynn's and the tournament's top pair, Nicholson-Lewis and Lozier joined forces to defeat Alabama-Huntsville's Chris Kano and Raphael Oliveria, 9-8 (7-4).
Nicholson-Lewis and Lozier advanced to the quarterfinals with the victory.
The Lions will return to the court on Friday, September 28, as they continue action at the USTA/ITA South Regional Championship hosted by Florida Southern. The tournament will continue from two tennis facilities; the Beerman Tennis Center and the Warden Tennis Complex.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Young people looking for work in the River City may be out of luck in Northwest Jacksonville.
U.S. Census data on ZIP codes and other geographies released Thursday shows the best place for younger workers to find jobs in Florida is in the Tallahassee-area ZIP code of 32312. The worst place is in the Northwest Jacksonville ZIP code of 32209.
"'Cause there's no jobs out here whatsoever, there is none," said 18-year-old Northwest Jacksonville resident Chryseanna Hall, who's looking for a job. "You can't get a job out here for no reason."
Hall says it's clear there are less opportunities around where she lives.
"They are all bigger companies that we're not ready for yet, so not ready, and convenience stores. It's just a bad neighborhood to get a job," she said.
Although that's bad news, there's some good news for those who have a college degree.
Among workers with a college education, Jacksonville's 32205 ZIP code -- the Riverside area -- is the best place for workers. The area has a 1.3 percent unemployment rate among those with a bachelor's degree. The worst was a ZIP code in Bonita Springs, along the southwest coast.
Trey Curry works in the Avondale area and he thinks young people have a better chance at getting hired there.
"I think this area is really developing a lot more rapidly than it has in the past," Curry said.
He said that because of the smaller companies in Avondale, it's easier for young people to find their place.
"In terms of people who are looking for smaller niche offices or firms, this area has a lot to offer," Curry said.
The best place for black workers was the Miami ZIP code of 33018 where the unemployment rate for African-Americans last year was just 0.4 percent. The worst place was the 34667 ZIP code north of Tampa.
Candace Moody, of WorkSource, says that overall, jobs are looking up for those of all ages.
"Things are really picking up for employment, and things are starting to improve," Moody said. "WorkSource is seeing a lot more jobs posted, and unemployment is right around 8 percent now and it was as high as 11 percent."
Moody said having a college degree or specialty degree really makes a difference in getting a job.

Did you know?
The Free State geological attraction, Vredefort Dome, is the world's largest and oldest known meteorite impact site.
The Free State has many geological wonders to be explored. Shaped by time, these striking features are as visually awesome as they are significant to the history of the world. Two of the Free State's top geological attractions are the cliffs of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park and the Vredefort Dome.
The geological wonders of the Free State were formed anything from millions to billions of years ago.
The northern Free State's Vredefort Dome is the impact site of a major meteorite, believed to have struck earth two billion years ago. Scientists gauge that the meteorite was 10km in diameter, larger than South Africa's Table Mountain.
It is estimated the impact vaporised 70 cubic kilometres of rock, leaving a 300km-diameter crater. This crater is now represented by a ring of hills, northwest of the impact point, called the Vredefort Hills. They are all that remain of the crater, the other peaks formed by the meteorite impact have since been covered by age-old sediment.
Visitors can hike the hills, or abseil, horse ride and canoe the area around the Vredefort Dome, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
South of Vredefort, in the eastern Free State, are the geological wonders of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park. This protected area is renowned for its impressive sandstone features, most notably The Sentinel buttress.
The Sentinel is the most northern point of the Drakensberg mountains and an iconic symbol of this national park. The Sentinel hiking trail takes visitors 3 000 m above the Drakensberg Amphitheatre, affording spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.
The area is filled with other interesting sandstone formations including caves, overhangs, rock shelters and cliffs, such as the peculiarly named Gladstone's Nose and Titanic.
The Golden Gate Highlands National Park rests at the foothills of the Maluti Mountains, which are geological wonders themselves, and which provide a dramatic backdrop to the beautiful eastern Free State.

Compared to last week, feeder cattle and calves sold steady to $4 higher with both backgrounders and feeders pushing the envelope for possession. The trading was just as active on heavy 8 weight feeders as it was for calves weighing under 500 lbs. However, yearling buyers seemed much more price conscious than calf bidders and there was plenty of speculation in the air this week that the rocket that has been propelling heavy feeder prices is starting to run out of boost.
The beta-agonist debate continues which in the long run should decrease beef tonnage (depending on how many packers but limits on purchasing cattle that have been fed such products). But, the longer this discussion goes on - the more likely that consumer confidence levels are vulnerable.
Hot and dry conditions have settled over the central portion of the United States which will have a much larger effect on soybean yields than the corn crop, but if price levels for one start moving the other normally follows.
Time is running out to take advantage of summer grilling demand and the fed cattle market remains rather stagnant, even though dressed beef values have made steady gains over the last several weeks. These reasons, and the fact that feeder prices have been on the rise for thirteen straight weeks, give caution that at least a slight correction may be in order. Then the August cattle-on-feed report is released this Friday and restores faith that the feeder cattle market is indeed headed for this month's blue moon. On-feed inventories as of August 1st came in well below estimates at 94.1 percent of last year. July finished cattle marketings were well anticipated at 104.5 percent while placements of new feeders ended up even lower than the lowest analysts' guess at just 90 percent of 2012's already low placement total.
It has become evident that a smaller cow herd and fewer stocker cattle turned-out in the major grazing regions this spring is finally showing up in feedlot populations. Winter backgrounders are excited about large hay stockpiles and wheat pasture prospects with demand already soaring for lightweight calves.
On Monday, the Northern Livestock Video sold 350 head of weaned Wagyu (Japanese breed known for high marbling carcasses) Angus cross steer and heifer calves weighing 440 lbs for 302.50 for December delivery off the Galt ranch near White Sulphur Springs, Montana. These cattle will undoubtedly need to reach the niche market in which they were intended as they brought more per head than the highest selling yearlings for the week.
The Torrington, WY Livestock Commission featured a 99 head lot of 813 lb steers at $159 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Friday afternoon fed cattle sales started breaking loose at steady money. Mostly $197 dressed with a few live sales reported from $123-$125. This week's reported auction volume included 53 percent over 600 lbs and 38 percent heifers.

I've often found that there's always a good reason to travel. Whether it's for work or play, the idea of being able to discover new and interesting places has always made me the happiest curvy girl around.
I had the honor of being selected by Latinos in Social Media to attend BlissDom'11 a blogger conference inside The Opryland hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. Being that I'd never been to Tennessee, I was excited to visit "one of the friendliest cities in the United States." Which was proven to me the minute I stepped inside my taxi by the way.
Sadly, I didn't know I wouldn't be spending much time outside. I was so busy with the conference that I spent an entire two days inside thehotel. But, that's OK. My roomate, Yoli and I, didn't mind. The Opryland hotel is like it's own little city. With over 2,000 rooms, it was very easy to get lost. In fact, it took me a while to find my room a couple of times. Maybe I was too busy checking out the amazingly stunning atriums and conservatory.
Although I ordered room service the night I arrived, there are a lot of restaurants inside the hotel to choose from. The rooms were contemporary, but basic and they did offer free Wi-Fi, which is always a plus for me. They have shopping located throughout, along with a radio station that broadcasts from the hotel.
During the conference, we were treated to a concert featuring Michelle Branch and Mat Kearney at Fuse Nashville, which is also located inside the hotel. Don't mind the cruddy cell phone pictures (left) I forgot to take my camera.
As soon as I walked in, I was very impressed with the design of the night club. It was very chic and trendy. I kind of felt like I was at a club in Las Vegas for a second.
I am pretty bummed I didn't get to visit any of the bars or clubs in downtown, but I did get a quick tour via automobile. I was immediately drawn to the historic buildings and the bright lights of the Honky-tonks.
My friends and I did make it out to dinner the night before I left and we ate our pretty little hearts out at Tayst Restaurant & Wine Bar, the first and only green certified restaurant in Nashville. I had the Pork Wellington and it was divine! And don't get me started on the Riesling wine!
Unfortunately, my trip was too short and I didn't get to see the city. I guess I'll just have to save that for my next Nashville visit.
**Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. The above is my true and honest opinion.


text: So my epoxy flew out of the bed of a pickup. The board survived without a scratch but my fins got really scuffed up. I want to replace them but they seem to be jammed up. They are futures. I was wondering if anyone had any sugestions on how to get them out.

A WOMAN was treated for breathing in smoke after a bedroom fire in Wycombe Marsh last night.
Firefighters were called to Barrowcroft, off Mead Way, at 10.04pm.
Crews from High Wycombe and Beaconsfield used a ventilation fan and gave oxygen to a woman suffering the effects of breathing in smoke.
She was handed into the care of paramedics, who were also called to the scene.

silver250 - Friday, June 05, 2009 - linkMaybe I missed it but last time I saw a review with the Phenom II CPU's they ran better with DDR3, all the boards for AMD listed are only DDR2 boards.
So whats the deal? Or did I just miss a reason somewhere in other reviews? Reply
Tunnah - Thursday, June 04, 2009 - linkwould it be possible at all to get the power usage stats of the overclocked version ? A while ago I was reading an article (not sure if here or elsewhere) and it gave the power usage per overclock step and was a great way of working out where to find the balance of power usage vs overclocking amount. Also I'd love to see the power this beast sucks up at 4.6ghz ha Reply
tygrus - Thursday, June 04, 2009 - linkAre you able to measure the CPU clock freq while running the benchmarks to see the affect of the Turbo mode. Labelling as 3.2GHz when it could actually be 3.46GHz.
Can we also see results with the Intel Turbo On & Off ?
Does Intel use core activity to determine Turbo limits or does the on-die temperature sensor allow using higher speeds at any time ?
Intel claimed a bit of both, but it seems very pre-set (1core max, 2core max, 4core max). Can it be overridden ?
How hot can the case temp be before the CPU is prevented from using higher speeds ?
How much activity on other cores will prevent the fastest setting of single core task ? Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkThis article is kind of pointless beyond page 1 just cause you don't include ANY of the processors that used to be the best bang for the buck. Where's the E6600? the E8400? E6420?? the E7650??? Q6600? Seriously, showing us performance for new CPU's is pointless if you're not going to include the processors that sold the best in the past. I mean seriously, the E8400 is STILL the best bang for the buck around for many people and you didn't even include that... sad, just sad. Reply
Gary Key - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkYou can compare any of those processors to the 975 using our Bench tool - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/default.aspx?b=2">http://www.anandtech.com/bench/default.aspx?b=2 . :) Reply
lpcap - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkI think for the world's most powerful laptop with the Core i7 975 go to:
aigomorla - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - link:)
I dont have anything bad to say about it.
Monster overclocker, im doing about 4.4ghz with 1.35vcore with full stability.
When i showed the 975 off a couple of months ago on the cpu and overclocking section, i told everyone the D0's were gonna be HOT. Reply
Fulle - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkInteresting... most 920s only can OC to about 4GHz at that voltage... even with the D0 stepping. Either you got lucky with your chip, or the 975 isn't as bad as I thought. Reply
Fulle - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkIts fortunate for AMD that the vast majority of the games out there are NOT multithreaded, like FarCry 2... and for the majority of games out currently, they don't even scale with CPUs beyond 3 cores... which is evident if you look at the Phenom II X3 720's performance in Anand's benchies.
It cracks me up to see some enthusiasts bashing Lynnfield. All things considered, the Lynnfield 2.8GHz CPU with HT will be the one to have for the best gaming frame rates. It has excellent 2 core performance with turbo mode, which will allow for top FPS in most games, and for those that are highly threaded, Graphics bottlenecks considered, it'll hang in pretty darn close to the i7s. Its almost as if Intel designed the chip specifically for hardcore gamers.
This 975/950 business seems lazy, however. Intel doesn't even try when AMD falls too far behind.
lifeblood - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - link"Intel really has no other external motivation to push for higher frequency parts, so we only see a bare minimum increase in specs here."
If AMD fails the we will very quickly return to the days of overpriced and underpowered Pentium trash. When Intel has no competition they quit trying. Reply
strikeback03 - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkHow many people bought a 940 or 965 anyway? Seems the vast majority of i7 sales were the 920, and then people OCed them. Guess we have to wait and see the OC results on the retail processors, but I'm guessing a lot more people would be happy to see a speed bumped 920 than these processors. Reply
aeternitas - Sunday, June 07, 2009 - linkTake a look around at where you're, then ask yourself why you get that impression? Reply
rundll - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkJust wondering what happens to the Turbo Mode when you overclock a processor? Does it stop working, does it become obsolete? Is it useful only as long as you stick to stock specs?
Anand said something about coming tests with retail i7-975. Is it possible to include some oc:ed i7-920 benchmarking results as well? That'd be great. Reply
Gary Key - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkTurbo remains active during overclocking and depending on the BIOS, it remains active even if TDP limits are exceeded. I have the retail 975 coming and will provide overclocked numbers in a separate article centering on memory performance. Personally, buying a good 920 DO and overclocking it is your best option at this point unless you need a higher multiplier for extreme clocking, at which point the Xeon W3540 will provide you with the best bang for buck overclocks in this area. The unlocked multis on the 975 might allow a slightly better overclock or ability to clock memory, but maybe 0.02% of users will need it. I just have not found any general retail (not special binned from Intel) 975s that have out clocked the W3540s up high at this point and my retail 920 D0s just embarrass this 975 ES sample. Reply
rundll - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkTks Gary, tks hemipowered.
All clear now except that I just can't quite figure it out how the Turbo can pump up the volume after I've od:ed the cpu to max. Does it push it up to max+? Am I missing something here?
If anyone sees it fit to answer, tks for that. Reply
hemipowered - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkYou can overclock and keep turbo on, I do Reply
hyvonen - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkI understand that gaming needs ATI/NVidia discrete cards, but just once I'd really like to see the power consumption numbers quoted without these power hogs...
I'm interested in a quiet Media PC that plays BluRay/HD fine, does MP3/video encoding well, and could be used as a near-zero-load 24/7 file server (low idle power consumption). I have a PS3 for gaming; my PC would be fine with integrated graphics. But all the benchmarking setups are loaded with high-end graphics cards, massive PSUs and a ton of memory.
None of the reviews show me how much the idle power of the CPU is, or that of the chipset/motherboard. I'm sure it's hard as hell to itemize the power consumptions of the components, but that's what I'm hoping Anand's team can figure out.
I'd really like to see how AMD/ATI and Intel platforms work from performance/power point of view in low-power HTPC-like systems (with SSDs etc.). How much power does DDR2/DDR3 really consume? What about undervolting/clocking? Undervolting DDR3? Small-cache/small-size CPUs? Power/performance numbers are always for testbenches, never for CPUs themselves, and the leaky discrete graphics chips always mess up the results.
I have a feeling that the Westmere dual-core desktop/mobile CPUs are going to be perfect for this sort of a system; 100W PicoPSU, SSD, WD Green HD... I just can't find the information anywhere. Reply
strikeback03 - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkhttp://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.a...">http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.a...
too old to have i7 stuff in it, but you probably wouldn't want that in your system anyway.
For reference, my desktop here at work has a 650W Enermax Infiniti PSU, Q6600@3GHz, P35 chipset, 1HDD, 1optical drive, 3 1GB sticks of DDR2, and a passive cooled nVidia 7300GT, and idles at just over 100W at the wall.
To use a PicoPSU you probably need better info on what the components draw on each rail. When power is so limited it matters, I lost a M3-ATX due to that. Reply
hyvonen - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkThanks for the link - that article was great! I don't know how I missed it...
I really hope they'll redo that stuff later with the new CPUs (especially the Westmere ones with IGP-in-the-package) and the new chipsets (P55 etc.)
What happened with the PicoPSU/M3ATX? Reply
strikeback03 - Thursday, June 04, 2009 - linkIt was never able to properly shut the system down, the jumper configuration was set to hibernate the system 5 seconds after the ignition was turned off, instead it waited about a minute. Once a week or so it would refuse to start the system when the ignition was turned on until I pulled the computer case out of the dashboard and then put it back in. Eventually that problem grew more frequent, now when power is applied the led on the M3 blinks but it won't turn a system on. I replaced it with an M2-ATX and that has not had any problems. I have an Intel Atom 330 LF2 board, that board seems to draw the majority of its power off the 5V rail, so apparently the 6A the M3 could provide was not enough 5V for long-term use. Reply
TA152H - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkJust an FYI, it's stated that the new i7 975 is 2.5 faster than Intel's fastest Pentium 4, but you didn't test Intel's fastest Pentium 4. The Pentium EE 965, running at 3.73 was it. It also had better power characteristics, since it was a later revision and, if I remember, correctly, had additional power savings modes enabled (EIST?).
Also, you can't compare power draw between a 45 nm part and 65 nm and get disgusted. 45nm was a big advance for Intel in lowering power, and it would have been a very significant boost for the Pentium 4. Still, it was a terrible design, so your point is well taken, but it would not have been THAT terrible on 45nm. I think 5 GHz would have been easy, 6 GHz probably would not have been too difficult either. It's a pity we never got to see it, just out of curiousity. Reply
aeternitas - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkCuriousity? Take the average gain of all CPUs in question and you can come up with a rather accurate line of performance per Mhz. It would take longer to get the CPU performance numbers than to do the actual math.
6 and 7GHz CPUs come with instability. Thats why we stopped at about 4Ghz and started to work smart instead of hard, like the G4/G5 cpus of old. Reply
BabaBlackSheep - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkI was just wondering how fast these stock fans for these processors are? The last time I got a new processor (Intel) was 3.5 years ago. It was insanely noisy. Has this changed? Reply
TotalLamer - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkAs much as I would love to support AMD, reviews like this make it very, very difficult at the moment. Reply
stimudent - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkdoes this Intel processor have 'ethics violations' etched into the die too? Reply
TA152H - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkWhy? Neither processor is even remotely attractive to most people. They're performance is fine, but they are too expensive for what they are, again, for most people. If you're running a business, and faster performing processors helps your workers work faster, the $999 for the 975 is essentially nothing, and well worth it. But, for most people, neither of these processors are relevant.
AMD makes horrible, badly-designed processors, but, is that so different from Intel IGPs? For a lot of people, and AMD processor with and 790GX is a better platform than an Intel based processor with the G45, and a lot of people only need an IGP.
I really do not think ATI was a bad purchase for AMD. It's made their platform a lot stronger vis-a-vis Intel. From a processor perspective, I agree, AMD sells trash, but as a platform, it can be very attractive because of ATI.
regnez - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkNo one said AMD processors were trash, except you. You kind of have a back and forth on your own argument: On the one hand, AMD cannot compete on the ultra high-end, on the other, not many people buy ultra high-end equipment.
However, to say that AMD is releasing trash is just nonsense. Their lower-end processors are decent and compete with Intel reasonably well at given price points. They just don't have anything to match Intel at the top, which is not a big deal to most folks. Reply
aeternitas - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - link"Most folks" do not read Anandtech. We need to look at the types that visit this site.
I think that's a huge point. Reply
Azsen - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkWhen is Core i7 due on the notebook? I.e. quad core goodness?
I wish Intel and AMD would focus on releasing better performing and lower power parts for the notebooks rather than desktops. Desktops are old school, the notebook is the way of the future and you can't notice much performance difference for general applications and even the odd game. Sure if you're a hard core gamer or need workstation performance you'd get a desktop as you can throw whatever you like in it, but everything else in between is better off as a notebook. Reply
RadnorHarkonnen - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkI7 is already on a notebook.
My DT PSU is a 750W psu.
Most laptops carry a 65w AC. People start complaining when they have to carry 6kg plus the 130w (or bigger) power brick. Computers are like cars, if you want performance, it will consume loads of juice.
Lappy owner wants, batery life, portability and low weight. They hate when lappys got too hot. So you got everything agaisnt performance. Its like asking a Smart/1.4 HDI engines to compete with my 309 GTI or Delta HF Turbo. And keeping the low mpg. Some DT CPUs have a 140W heat dissipation packadge. Most of them are about 65W - 90W. This is just HEAT that the CPU dissiaptes, the value it consumes is higher. Most lappies AC Adap are in the 65W range...
Most consumers that buy a lappy are ill informed or just don't know what they are buying. Most of them doesn't need that portability, and consider the computer slow soon after they buy it, when they start finding out what it "can't" do. Most time is branding in action or a bad sales monkey.
Netbooks were the way of the future, until they started getting a 30% of return rate. Netbooks are only good as a seconday computers.
I am not a hard core gamer. I don't need workstation performance. I do like a decent performance and i do heavy multi-tasking. You can say Microsoft Office is light (for example), and any laptop can do it, but my Ms for various reasons, when some tasks come, she just drops her lappy and come to my DT. Sometimes to apply a filter. that is just one example.
Laptops/Desktops/Netbooks will never disapear, because they do diferent jobs. You know a laptop/netbook can't handle for very long a intensive (10+ hours daily) tasks. You can't carry a desktop. Well you can, but not everyday.
Honestly ? I think the normal Laptop will disapear and it will be replaced by the netbook in one tier, and slim CULV/ULV cpus in a higher tier. If you need "some" performance and reliability for that matter, the Desktop is there for you.
SDSUMarcus01 - Friday, June 05, 2009 - linkYeah, I got a desktop $2000 "replacement" laptop about 3 years ago and it has been a nightmare. In the beginning, it overheated and shut down all the time. Sometimes I couldn't even turn the damn thing on, it'd overheat while LOADING windows.
Now I get it to work pretty well but that's after a cooling pad, arctic silver 5, coppermodding the gpu, undervolting AND underclocking (even undervolted, the higher multipliers get too hot).
Not to mention it's not that portable either, it's damn big and heavy.
I look forward to returning to the US in about a month and using a desktop again. If I ever buy a laptop again, it WILL be a secondary computer for travel purposes. Reply

I think keeping low mpg isnt much of a problem ;) Reply
RadnorHarkonnen - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkSure, My Lancia does 0-240 Km/h in less than 40 secs.
The Peugeot takes a bit more time and only reaches the 220 Km/H.
Get a SMART/1.4HDI engine doing that, and keeping the 4L per 100Kms.
That is what hes asking. The Smart could only reach that in a free-fall. Reply
nubie - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkDumbest analogy I have ever heard.
I assume there is some reason that the Nehalem processors can't be targeted to more vigorous sleep states and attempt to run on 1-2 processors more of the time?
There is no reason that they can't be in laptops, they are no more power hungry than the P4 notebooks. And they are much much better performing. Reply
strikeback03 - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkCan you do anything interesting with it? All the tool driving appears to be interested in is blowing doughnuts.
And that Ferrari driver sucks, dunno if that is the best the Smart can do, but the F430 can certainly top a 13.4 second quarter mile with a competent driver. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkYou'll see both dual and quad-core Nehalem (Core i7 derivatives) on the notebook in the second half of this year. The quad-core options will appear first then the dual-core at the very end of 2009 and into 2010.
I wrote about this a little while ago:
Hope that helps :)
Anand Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkyeah, I also remember reading that we were going to see performance comparisons between different notebook GPU's and CPU's; and I quote, "soon". Where's that?? I'm with the guy above, notebooks are the future, barely anyone should care about desktops anymore... granted we need a standardized GPU slot on notebooks and dedicated GPU to integrated GPU switching NEEDS to become standard. Also LED and OLED screens, battery life is SO important. Intel thinks lighter laptops will make people take them outside more... still pointless if we need to carry a stupid ac adapter with us. Reply
nitromullet - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkThat's my first question when I read this... Is Intel planning to phase out the 920 and replace that segment with Lynnfield? Reply
TA152H - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkWhy would you want a dog like Lynnfield if you can get a i7 920 for around the same price?
The issues with Lynnfield can't be fixed, you can overclock an i7 920 and resolve what makes it slow (relatively speaking, of course). How are you going to fix the brain-damaged memory controller on the Lynnfield?
Lynnfield is the Celeron of the Nehalem world. It's fine for mainstream America, who actually can get by with AMD parts. But, for someone who knows how to overclock, why be saddled with a crippled processor when you get pay a little more and get a more capable platform? You're better off getting slower/cheaper memory, and getting an i7, than getting fast memory with the crippled Lynnfield memory controller.
Of course, I'm basing this on the performance given here on the previous review, which has me stunned. Maybe it's just pre-release hardware that caused the big drop in performance and the released version will be better. But still, I really hope they leave the i7 920 or something like it just in case the Lynnfield releases with the performance we saw in the pre-release version. If that's the case, forget it, and get the i7 920. It's got much more potential. Reply
BSMonitor - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - linkAre you on crack? Lynnfield is a Nehalem without the tri-channel memory controller... Lynnfield is cheaper by $100 at the same speed bin and runs cooler. Some benchmarks on ES put the Lynnfield faster than Nehalem counterparts where the single/dual threaded apps make use of the more generous turbo mode...
Put the reefer down and actually read the article. Lynnfield is 2 months away and already crushing any Phenom II or Penryn and as fast as its Nehalem counterparts at $100 cheaper. Reply
iamezza - Friday, June 05, 2009 - linkAs weird as it seems TA152H is actually an i7 platform Fanboy! Reply
philosofool - Thursday, June 04, 2009 - linkYeah: he's on crack. Reply
nitromullet - Thursday, June 04, 2009 - linkI was asking because I want the flexibility of Crossfire and SLI on the same motherboard, which is something the Lynnfield/P55 platform will not provide. I'm worried that Intel will phase out the 920's, and I'll be left having to a $600ish cpu to get into the X58 platform. Reply

Is 'quit smoking' your New Year's resolution? There's lots of help
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 5:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 5:50 p.m.
Quitting smoking often tops smokers' list of New Year's resolutions. The challenge is holding them to it, and the Florida Department of Health has a free program to help.
Tobacco Free Florida resources
-For the Florida Quitline, call 1-877-U-CAN-NOW.
-To register online with a web coach: https://www.quitnow.net/florida
-Walk-ins can locate the nearest Florida Area Health Education Center (AHEC) to sign up for group classes: http://ahectobacco.com
-For general information on Tobacco Free Florida: www.tobaccofreeflorida.com
Smoking stats
-In the U.S., nearly two out of three adult smokers want to quit smoking.
-The average smoker attempts to quit between 8 and 11 times before ultimately quitting.
-Two weeks to three months after quitting, people's circulation improves and lung function increases.
- Five years after quitting, risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and bladder are cut in half. Cervical cancer risk falls to that of a non-smoker.
-Ten years after quitting, the risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a person who is still smoking.
- Fifteen years after quitting, the risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker's.
The state's Bureau of Tobacco Free Florida provides a quitline, classes and counseling, and Web coaches to people who want to quit smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy, such as patches, gum or lozenges, are also free for two weeks for people over the age of 18.
"Right now if you wanted to quit smoking, you've got some pretty good options," said Andrew Romero, a tobacco prevention specialist at the Alachua County Health Department.
In Alachua County, the smoking rate is lower than the statewide rate: 14.1 percent versus 17.1 percent. The county also has more people who have tried to quit smoking in a one-year time period, at 65.5 percent versus 60.1 percent.
According to Romero, "The university might have something to do with it." The smoking rate at the University of Florida is 8.6 percent, and UF has smoking cessation classes for faculty, staff and students, Romero added.
According to Shannon Hughes, chief of the Bureau of Tobacco Free Florida, the program's selling point is that it's tailored to each smoker.
"We believe having a comprehensive quit plan that is tailored to the smoker is essential to having a successful quit. If the plan isn't tailored to the person, it's not going to be as good," Hughes said, adding that smokers must overcome not just nicotine, but triggers to their smoking habit.
"(Smokers) are also habitually addicted to the act of smoking," said Hughes. "Over time, smoking becomes part of your daily routine. It's how you cope. You have to lay out a (cessation) plan tailored to your life.
"Each of the three quit services can double a person's chances of success," Hughes continued, adding that people try to quit smoking an average of eight to 11 times before being successful.
The way the quitline works is that people call in and are assigned a quit coach. They are also asked to pick a quit day. The coach works out a personalized plan with them, and then follows up four to five times in the weeks following the call, and then again several months later. With Web coaches, everything is done online. If people opt to come into one of the Florida Area Health Education Centers, they can also partake in smoking cessation classes.
The health department's three-pronged approach is modeled on the CDC's Best Practice Guidelines. Nationally, Florida falls below the national average for number of smokers, which is 21.2 percent of the population.
Youth can also utilize the services — they just don't receive the free nicotine replacement therapies. The DOH has its own separate initiatives for youth, including working with youth advocacy organizations in every county to promote smoking cessation.
And the number of young smokers in Florida is declining: The 2012 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey showed that in 2012, 10.1 percent of high school students smoked, compared with 33 percent in 2010. Middle school-age children who have tried cigarettes also declined from 35.9 percent in 2010 to 3.3 percent in 2012.
"We know that our strategies are working," said Hughes.
She added that the department generally sees a rise in the number of call-ins around New Year's.
"We hope that it's a momentum that carries on for many months," Hughes said.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Sunday the 15th-ranked Lions men's tennis team had figured out the sixth-ranked Rollins Tars, but it was the damage done on Saturday that was too much to overcome as Rollins upended Saint Leo 5-4 in the conclusion of the postponed third-place match at the Sunshine State Conference Championships.
Completing a match that was halted by rain on Saturday, the Lions took a 3-0 deficit from the previous day's doubles play and quickly turned it into a 4-4 match. Behind inspired performances by Aloua Adjenak, Matt Nicholson-Lewis, Ismail Lemtouni and Jacobo Gonzalez-Tarrio who swept through their opponents in singles action to knot the score. The flights were not without their tense moments as, despite the sweeps, three of the four matches went into the seven-point tiebreak, with Lemtouni's going all the way to 9-7 before he claimed the win.
With just No. 3 singles in the balance, Victor Lozier's upset bid of #34 Robin Marchione came up just short with a 6-2 decision in favor of Rollins in the third set.
The Lions conclude the Sunshine State Conference Championships with a fourth-place finish and now await a potential bid into the NCAA Tournament. The Lions will find out their postseason chances on Tuesday night.

Conversely, Eric Fehr from the Capitals is 5 for 5, so I understand why he's selected to take shots in the shoot-out, but no so sure about Santonelli.).

TOUR de France banners went on display in York's historic Guildhall ahead of the race coming to the city on July 6.
Some 60 banners created by about 500 volunteers from 50 groups using templates made by five Quilt Museum and Gallery volunteers have been brought together by City of York Council at the Guildhall.
The colourful contributions are now ready for the finishing touches of the artists from the Quilt Museum and Gallery on Peasholme Green, some of whom viewed the collection on Monday.
Together, they committed more than 100 hours to make 44 template banners, each 15 feet long, using space and equipment donated by the Quilt Museum and Gallery. The volunteers have also decorated two banners for The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles.
Cllr Sonja Crisp, cabinet member for tourism, said: "The work of these volunteers has been fundamental to this project, and demonstrates how ready and willing people across the city have been to freely share their time and talents to Be Part of It."
The project is part of the council'sYork: Be Part of It arts and cultural festival which has more than120 events, projects, performances and exhibitions taking part.
The Quilt Museum and Gallery currently has a small exhibition entitled 'Quilts inspired by le Tour de France' which has 15 new pieces of patchwork and quilting created by Museum and Gallery volunteers which has been inspired by the Grand Depart. This exhibition runs until August 30 and is open Monday Saturday 10-4pm.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – In the first game of the three game series against Palm Beach Atlantic, Saint Leo topped the Sailfish 12-3 behind a complete game from Lions' starter Brent Krauss. Saint Leo improved to 19-9 on the year with the win while Palm Beach Atlantic moved to 16-9.
Krauss (3-2) went the whole nine innings, giving up just two earned runs while striking out 11 and waking only one Sailfish batter.
"Brent Krauss did an outstanding job tonight," head coach Sean O'Connor said postgame. "Brent was outstanding; he pitched the whole game for us. He did exactly what we needed on a Friday night, getting us through and keeping our bullpen fresh for tomorrow. That's certainly a help for us going into two games tomorrow."
The Lions put together a strong offensive performance, totaling 12 hits on the night including two long balls. Michael Revell tallied three hits and four RBI with two coming on a two-run homer in the top of the first to give the Lions an early lead. Also collecting three hits on the night was Daniel Torres, who continued his hot streak. Torres is hitting a team-high .550 over the last seven games. Contributing two hits each in the win was Ryan Brnovich and Dillon Vitale.
The Lions struck first in the top of the first inning when Vitale got the inning started and Revell gave the team a 2-0 lead with a colossal homerun over the right-centerfield wall.
Two innings later the Lions put up a five-spot after Brnovich started the inning with a double down the left field line. The next play, Brnovich scored when a groundball from Vitale got past the Sailfish second baseman. Revell tallied his third RBI of the game two batters later when he singled up the middle to bring home Vitale. Rawdow continued the string of hits with a base hit through the left side that brought home Revell.
After Palm Beach Atlantic pushed two runs across the board in the fifth, Saint Leo responded with a run in the seventh when Vitale jumpstarted the inning with a double. At that point Revell brought in his fourth run of the game when a single to left field plated Vitale to extend the lead to 8-2.
In the eighth Torres doubled down the line to bring home Rawdow—who had reached base after being hit by a pitch.
The Sailfish were able to plate a run in the bottom of the eighth to make the game 9-3, but the Lions added an exclamation point in the ninth when Chris Newcomb came to the plate and belted his third homerun of the year to extend the Lions' lead to 12-3.
Saint Leo gets back in action tomorrow for a doubleheader against the Sailfish with the first pitch of game one set for 12:00 p.m.

Creatures of the Wind Fall 2012
"We always like to frame it with a bit of atmosphere," said Creatures of the Wind designer Shane Gabier, standing in the cavernous Gothic hall of Chelsea's Desmond Tutu Center, where the Chicago-based label held its fall 2012 presentation yesterday. Passing through the courtyard, up the wooden staircase to the historic refectory, was a bit like stumbling through an accidental porthole into a different space and time, and the otherworldly ambience was an appropriate setting for the out-of-town CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runners-up, who are rapidly becoming the mood-brightening spots on New York's fashion calendar. The story behind fall 2012 starts with the tale of ill-fated clergyman Robert Kirk, author of The Secret Commonwealth. His fabled seventeenth-century manuscript gives an elaborate account of a Celtic fairyland, inhabited by a thriving population of elves and fauns. When the Scottish cleric was found dead near a tree some years later, it was said to be an act of retribution by the mischievous sprites who were angry at Kirk for exposing their secret universe.
The mythical subtext for their inspiration essentially boils down to one very practical question: How does one bring together seemingly opposing forces? The answer played out in a multitude of mixed-media combos, like an oxford shirt that was collaged with gold and jade jacquard from shoulder to collar, a flannel shirt overlaid with exquisite hand-painted French lace, or a shawl hand-embroidered with remnants of a vintage quilt uncovered in a store in Chicago by the designers ten years earlier. Gabier and his partner, Christopher Peters, use textured fabric the way other designers use solid color, confidently blocking the layers on a knee-length ruffled skirt with a new tactile textile per tier. And while it was good to see them adding new materials to that palette, the conceptualism of the leather banded dress and sculpted pink cape lost some of the charm and joyful ease of the spring collection.
In a larger sense, the pair do an impressive job of straddling the divide between two different worlds, and their thoughtful and intricately constructed designs sparkle with fantasy while keeping a foot in the real world; you could see buyers and editors making a mental note of the pieces that they would be buying to bring the magic to their own closets when the clothes hit stores next fall. For aspiring young designers across the country, living and working in New York would be a dream come true. Creatures of the Wind prove that looking at the world from the outside in often makes for a clearer, more enchanting vision.

GSA, DoD Outline Acquisition Excellence Highlights with New MOA
December 12, 2006
Contact: Katharine Uhre (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC — A memorandum of agreement (MOA) outlining more than 20 areas on which the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) will work together to achieve acquisition excellence received signatures from Shay Assad, Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, and Emily Murphy, GSA's Chief Acquisition Officer, GSA officials announced today.
"The MOA is a reflection of GSA's focus on customer service and further evidence of our growing partnership with DoD," said GSA Deputy Administrator David Bibb. Mr. Bibb led a GSA team chartered by Administrator Lurita Doan to develop improved ways of providing service to GSA's largest customer. "The working group on this MOA should be commended. We at GSA believe this MOA sends a strong signal of each agency's intent to work closely with one another."
"This agreement represents a focused approach to improving acquisition processes and results, reducing the time it takes to get best value goods and services to the warfighter, for example, while providing the American warfighter with quality products and services," said Jim Williams, Commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS).
"The Public Buildings Service is committed to providing acquisition services that fully support and meet the facility needs of DoD," said David L. Winstead, Commissioner of the Public Building Service.
"As we implement the agreement, GSA will be even better positioned to provide best value goods and services to meet the warfighters' needs," said Ms. Murphy.
The agreement focuses on every aspect of an acquisition from the identification of requirements through contract closeout. Mr. Bibb also said the MOA will bring definition to some ambiguous aspects of existing acquisition policy with regard to interagency contracting, clearly establishes lines of responsibility and clarifies the rules that apply to the acquisitions conducted on behalf of DoD. "It focuses on acquisition excellence in every aspect of conducting procurements in a timely manner," Mr. Bibb said.
Mr. Williams said GSA has already begun working with DoD to implement much of what is agreed to in the MOA. "The result will be improved value for the taxpayer as well as increased competition in the market place. The best part of the MOA is that it anticipates course correction as we implement the agreement over time to ensure that our focus on meeting the warfighters' needs is never lost," said Mr. Williams.
The agreement follows months of discussions between the parties on how GSA could better serve the Defense Department. Working collaboratively, GSA and DoD will work on a series of action items highlighted in the MOA to best serve the warfighter and the taxpayer.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of FirstGov.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
