Sell out audiences have made Ruan Minor's first ever pantomime a rip roaring success - oh yes it has.
The newly formed Ruan Revellers performed Aladdin to a packed out village hall last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with an extra matinee on Saturday afternoon.
Despite the four showings, all the tickets were sold out two weeks before curtain up, with many more disappointed people turned away.
Describing it as a "proper village panto," publicity officer Richard Palmer said: "The feeling amongst the whole company was that they wanted to bring something special to the village to help take minds off the terrible weather and personal sufferings. The huge response from all four audiences proved that this was achieved."
Jacquie Griffiths, wife of Mullion's vicar Father Shane Griffiths, delighted audiences with her health and safety introduction, informing audiences of the exits, in a Chinese accent and in the style of an air hostess - her former profession.
Panto baddy Abanazar, played Mark Outten, had equal success in his role, with two small children in the front row kicking him and saying "I hate you" as he came off stage.
Stepping out on stage was a particularly special for Margaret Greene, a principal singer in the chorus, who never thought she would sing on stage again after suffering a major stroke a decade ago.
The show was not without its minor mishaps, with two cast members taking the showbusiness adage to "break a leg" almost too literally by falling all off the stage on separate occasions - although nothing was broken.
Jonathan Fletcher, as Widow Twanky, caused great hilarity - not to mention a few pained squints from the women of the audience - when he trapped his dame's bosoms in the washing mangle.
Proving that the show really must go on, some of the cast faced battles against the weather to even make it to the stage.
They included fisherman Jonathan Fletcher, who spent last Wednesday and Thursday fighting to save his boat, which was harboured in Porthleven, from sinking under the huge waves that rolled in, before helping others to rescue theirs. Despite this he then carried on back home to Ruan Minor to take part in a four-hour panto dress rehearsal.
Others who fought against the weather and won were Paul and Sheila Collins, who were in charge of set and props. Their van, containing all the props, was hit by an electricity cable during the storms but they still made it in to create the set and scenery in the hall.
The whole production was produced by Angela Thomas, with musical director Robin Bates and choreographer Tanya Strike.
"Angela Thomas brought all her extensive knowledge and contacts from many big productions in Cornwall to produce, in our little village, a truly memorable event, which all involved were proud to be part of," added Mr Palmer.

Political Commentator Bill Maher Comes to Dupont Theatre, 3/28
Bill Maher, the brilliant political commentator who set the boundaries of where funny political talk can go on American television now stretches those limits in an evening of hard-hitting, side-splitting stand up humor on Sunday, April 28, 7:00 p.m., at the DuPont Theatre in Wilmington.
First on Politically Incorrect (Comedy Central, ABC, 1993-2002), and for the last eight years on HBO's Real Time, Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him twenty-six Emmy nominations. In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, Religulous, directed by Larry Charles ("Borat"). The documentary has gone on to become the 7th Highest Grossing Documentary ever.
In addition to his television program - which has featured such regular visitors as John Edwards, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Arianna Huffington, Alec Baldwin and Michael Moore - Maher has written four bestsellers: "True Story," "Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits," "When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden" and most recently, "New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer."
Maher started his career as a stand-up comedian in 1979, and still performs at least fifty dates a year in Las Vegas and in sold out theaters all across the country. Three of his nine stand-up specials for HBO - 2007's "The Decider," 2005's "I'm Swiss," as well as his most recent, the hilarious, "Bill Maher ... But I'm Not Wrong," - have been nominated for Emmy awards.
Maher was born in New York City, raised in River Vale, N.J. and went to Cornell University. He now resides in Los Angeles.
Tickets to the Wilmington show go on sale January 18 and may be purchased at the DuPont Theatre Box Office, online at www.duponttheatre.com or by calling 302.656.4401.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Port Authority board held a meeting Thursday to discuss the port's dismissal of Gulftainer Co.'s proposal to lease 100 acres at Blount Island for a cargo terminal that would have been one of the largest at the port.
CEO Paul Anderson said the port is creating a strategic master plan for the port that will affect generations to come, and that Gulftainer's $250 million proposal does not fit into JaxPort's master plan.
"We would not accept the first offer. We're in high demand," Anderson said. "We're going to bring on the highest return in investment for the citizens and the community here at JaxPort."
The Blount Island Marine Terminal is prime property for JaxPort, and it wants to make sure that terminal invests in the most suitable customers. With plenty of already successful customers and not a lot of acres left on the 754-acre island, board members want to make sure that investments they make are always best for the JaxPort community, as well as the city of Jacksonville.
"We made a decision to have a strategic master plan," Anderson said. "We have a very, very valuable asset, and we are going to bring to the board options for the highest return on investment."
JaxPort must come up with a strategic plan, and it must be approved by the board to ensure future business.

Who's there?
Lake who?
[Eye roll] Typical Hollywood.
About the Jokester:
Lake Bell just spilled her coffee. The French press, as she tells us, is very precarious business. You can't smash down on it too quickly. "It looks like a coffee death scene. I blew my load. I blew my coffee load all over my kitchen is what I'm saying." And yet somehow the 32-year-old actress is able to salvage the rest of the interview. Not that it was an interview so much as a stream-of-consciousness adventure through all things charming and strange. The star of HBO's How to Make It in America is funny (see her on Adult Swim's Childrens Hospital). She writes and directs (see her short film Worst Enemy, which made it into Sundance earlier this year), is a self-described motorhead (see her automotive column in The Hollywood Reporter, "Test Drive"), and gives a mean prison tattoo, at least at her boarding school at the age of 14 (see the plus sign on her ankle). Oh, and she loves airplane staple SkyMall: "I mean, shit. Have you seen the zombie gnomes?" And this is without coffee.
Am I wearing a grey cut-off wife beater? Is it super hot?

Obama Point Tee
Finally a different tee for the Illinois Senator Barack Obama. Instead of just the face, the dudes over at Sons Of Liberty put a picture of Obama pointing to....change! what? Yep!
Obama argues with himself on almost every page of this lively autobiographical conversation. He gets you to agree with him, and then he brings in a counternarrative that seems just as convincing. Son of a white American mother and... Obama argues with himself on almost every page of this lively autobiographical conversation. He gets you to agree with him, and then he brings in a counternarrative that seems just as convincing. Son of a white American mother and of a black Kenyan father whom he never knew, Obama grew up mainly in Hawaii. After college, he worked for three years as a community organizer on Chicago's South Side. Then, finally, he went to Kenya, to find the world of his dead father, his "authentic" self. Will the truth set you free, Obama asks? Or will it disappoint? Both, it seems. His search for himself as a black American is rooted in the particulars of his daily life; it also reads like a wry commentary about all of us. He dismisses stereotypes of the "tragic mulatto" and then shows how much we are all caught between messy contradictions and disparate communities. He discovers that Kenya has 400 different tribes, each of them with stereotypes of the others. Obama is candid about racism and poverty and corruption, in Chicago and in Kenya. Yet he does find community and authenticity, not in any romantic cliche{'}, but with "honest, decent men and women who have attainable ambitions and the determination to see them through."Tags: humor, books, autobiography, reading, interior design, politics, home decor, unique, politicalAdded 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com

Geoff Harvey Cup, Group A
Cobblestones 4, North Petherton 2
COBBLESTONES completed their fourth win of the season in Group A of the Geoff Harvey Cup, with a victory over North Petherton at Bridgwater Academy on Sunday morning.
Jamie Merrick, Jed Williams and player/manager Dean Holman and an own goal completed the scoring for the hosts, who remain six points behind unbeaten group leaders R.O.F.
Jason Mantyk and Lloyd Beacham replied for North Petherton but it was not enough to prevent them slipping to a fourth defeat of the competition.
Holman, who called himself into the starting line-up because of a number of absences, was delighted with the result – and even more pleased with his goal. He said: "This team plays sexy football as well as having fun and happy faces on a Sunday morning. Great performance once again but highlight of the match was the gaffer's penalty.
"As soon as we got the penalty, there was no way anyone else was going to take it."
North Petherton boss Martyn Parker was left to rue a number of missed chances by his side and felt they could have taken something from the game.
He said: "With better finishing, this would have been a closer game."
Williams opened the scoring for Cobblestones when he smashed in a powerful shot from inside the penalty area – and Merrick doubled the lead from the spot shortly after.
Mantyk pulled one back for North Petherton before an own goal by Dan Wilkes restored the Cobblestones lead.
The game was put to bed in the second half when Ollie Ham was brought down in the penalty area – player/ manager Holman wrestled the ball off of his players before hammering home his first goal in 20 years to make the score 4-1.
Lloyd Beacham scored North Petherton's second, once again from the penalty spot, after Louis Seymour had been fouled.
That completed the game's scoring as Cobblestones held out to take victory.

3D Printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing, is an exciting and potentially game changing technology that will dramatically alter the way products are designed, manufactured, distributed and financed. A standard digital file (.stl) of an object is created, either by using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or a 3D scanner, and is sent to a dedicated machine which builds the object layer-upon-layer in a material such as plastic, metal or ceramic.
Today the technology is mainly used for rapid-prototyping and in a select number of industries for high-value low-run production. Adoption is increasing across more industries as high quality commercial printers become more affordable. High resolution industrial desktop machines can be purchased today for less than $10,000, whereas the same quality of output would have cost in excess of $100,000 five years ago. The home printer market is growing exponentially as well, as hobbyists and enthusiasts have embraced the open sourced technology which originated from the "RepRap" project (Self-Replicating Manufacturing Machine) while the cost of these home desktop 3D printing machines plummets.
In the same way the printing press democratized information and the internet democratized communication, 3D printing will demassify and democratize manufacturing - "The Third Revolution."
The 3D Printing and Scanning Special Interest Group (SIG) provides a forum for technologists and companies, as well as members of the investor community and other interested parties, to discuss the critical aspects of the technology that require improvement, the future direction of the technology and to network with one another. The majority of innovation and investment in 3D printing related technologies to date has not been centered in Silicon Valley, and this SIG aims to contribute to changing this for what is considered by many as the next trillion dollar market.
Example of areas we plan to discuss include: software (CAD, Digital Rights Management or DRM, and scanning), hardware and materials (the various printing technologies, types of materials available, scanners), the market place (internet market place, social networking design, customized production, manufacturers directly accessing the end user), the B2B market across all relevant sectors, and the home printer market.
Agenda - January 29th:
6:30pm – 7:00pm – Registration/Networking/Refreshments
7:00pm – 7:10pm – Introductions/Announcements
7:10pm – 7:20pm – Investment Trends – Geoffrey Doyle (GrowShapes) – SIG Chair

This is my first post to the forum. I'm so glad I found this forum since, within an hour, I found many useful tips and learned about the 2-2-1 method of preparing baby backs. I wouldn't have discovered the forum if I hadn't borrowed Steve's Sauces, Rubs, & Marinades from our library. Great book!
I decided to try grilling baby backs on my gas grill. I used Steve's basic BBQ rub from the book and applied a modified 2-2-1 method. Since this was my first try I only bought 2 racks of ribs---about 4 1/2 pounds. I thought I'd better cut back the cooking time so I went with 1 1/2-1-1/2 instead of 2-2-1.
I couldn't believe how they came out! They were great!
I also wanted to thank Bob-BQN for information he provided via email.
I did run into a small problem with my weber Genesis 1000 grill, in that, with 2 of the 3 burners on low for indirect, the temperature averaged a bit higher than I wanted. It was in the neighborhood of 300, while I wanted it closer to 225. This is one of the reasons I had to cut back on the time for grilling the ribs. Would it have been okay to turn off the back burner and leave only the front burner going to bring down the temperature? Or would I have had uneven cooking? Has anyone tried this with this grill?
Also, has anyone used an external heat source to start wood chips smoking--without having to heat them in the gas grill first? It took about 15 minutes at 500 degrees to get the wood to smoke, then I had to wait to let the grill cool down before putting the ribs on. I know this grill isn't made for smoking but I'd like to find a way to get around this if I could.
Thanks for your help!

Google Maps Gets A Major Upgrade, Promises Interstellar Accuracyby Saumitra Bhagwat on 5/15/2013 2:36 PM EST

elmicker - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThey'll need to be careful with their Google+ integration. Maps has an effective monopoly - integrating Google+ preferentially over other social networks is classic anticompetitive practice. Reply
inighthawki - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkWhat is with this anti-competetive/monopoly nonsense lately. God forbid Google make a product, then integrate its use in their other products. The idea that a company needs to advertise or use third party solutions is utterly nonsensical. Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - link"Interstellar" Accuracy? What, it has a resolution of a few light-years now? And why does the article not discuss accuracy with a single word after that kind of headline? Reply
Saumitra - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkWell, it's supposed to be funny for starters, and it refers to the accuracy of the real-time cloud and planetary data. Reply
Sunrise089 - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - link"Getting directions to a place has also been streamlined...using an intuitive UI...to plan trips with granular precision."
Just a small example, but either Saumitra has a very polished marketeers voice in his prose, or Google's actual marketing copy is encroaching too far into what should be an impartial article. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkMaybe Saumitra just needs a Dictionary? He may be of the opinion that the self-standing use of the phrase "granular precision" actually carries information. Reply
reininop - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkI just used that phrase in a report I was writing this morning.
"The granularity of results using the available search parameters allowed for quicker access to relevant information than was possible while using XXXXX."
I don't know how self-standing his phrase was, but it isn't uncommon when discussing information systems to refer to granularity and search in the same sentence. Reply

The Indonesian Embassy is located at 2020 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.Washington, D.C. 20036. The building is one of the most beautiful in town.
The Walsh–McLean House is a fabulous Beaux-Arts style, 60-room mansion, which was built in 1902 for rags-to-riches gold miner Thomas F. Walsh. The building was once the social center for Dupont Circle and it was the most expensive private house built to date, at the cost of $835,000 (about $20,000,000 in 2008). The house was purchased by the Indonesian government in 1952 for $335,000.
From gold prospectors to the Red Cross, the Hope Diamond to mysterious ghosts, the mansion hides a lot of history behind its walls…

I am using the following code to scroll to anchor points with jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
function filterPath(string) {
return string
var locationPath = filterPath(location.pathname);
var scrollElem = scrollableElement('html', 'body');
$('a[href*=#]').each(function() {
var thisPath = filterPath(this.pathname) || locationPath;
if ( locationPath == thisPath
&& (location.hostname == this.hostname || !this.hostname)
&& this.hash.replace(/#/,'') ) {
var $target = $(this.hash), target = this.hash;
if (target) {
var targetOffset = $target.offset().top;
$(this).click(function(event) {
$(scrollElem).animate({scrollTop: targetOffset}, 400, function() {
location.hash = target;
// use the first element that is "scrollable"
function scrollableElement(els) {
for (var i = 0, argLength = arguments.length; i <argLength; i++) {
var el = arguments[i],
$scrollElement = $(el);
if ($scrollElement.scrollTop()> 0) {
return el;
} else {
var isScrollable = $scrollElement.scrollTop()> 0;
if (isScrollable) {
return el;
return [];
Is there anyway to make it scroll to that anchor but minus a set amount of pixels? (in my case i want it to go -92px)
Thanks for any help.
Yes, it would be the targetOffset that you want to adjust there.
could you advise how i go about that? I'm not Javascript savvy unfortunately..
Do not just dump -92 into the middle of the code, because that then makes it impossible for anyone to understand what it's supposed to do.Instead, set a variable to store the -92 offset in a variable, so that it's perfectly clear what it is for.
var scrollOffset = -92;
var thisPath = ...
Then update the targetOffset assignment, so that it also uses your scrollOffset variable.
var targetOffset = ... - scrollOffset;
Where the ellipses are what is currently there.
Ok i'm fairly sure I have followed what you said and after setting the variable I have modified the line of code to this:
var targetOffset = $target.offset().top - scrollOffset;
but it has no effect?
Of course it doesn't, because you only followed the second part of my instructions.
no, I said that I had set the variable...
var scrollOffset = -92;
var thisPath = filterPath(this.pathname) || locationPath;
if ( locationPath == thisPath
&& (location.hostname == this.hostname || !this.hostname)
&& this.hash.replace(/#/,'') ) {
var $target = $(this.hash), target = this.hash;
if (target) {
var targetOffset = $target.offset().top - scrollOffset;
As you can see here..it does not work though.
What about it doesn't work?
Is it that the "- scrollOffset" needs to be "+ scrollOffset" instead?
I had tweaked it last night, but now it scrolls to where i want (- 92 pixels) but immediately jumps back to its original scroll position instead of staying at the -92 pixel mark?
Can you put up a sample version of what you've done at jsfiddle.net or somewhere else, for testing purposes?

The North American touring productions of THE LION KING have been seen by more than 14 million theatergoers and grossed over $928 million to date. Having already played more than 70 cities across North America, THE LION KING now proudly makes its Detroit return at the Detroit Opera House. The current schedule is listed below.
Among the most successful titles in entertainment history, with a cumulative gross in excess of $5 billion, the title has already earned more than the biggest hit films in movie history: more than the Lord of the Rings trilogy combined, more than the six Star Wars films combined, and more than Avatar and Titanic, the #1 and #2 highest-grossing films in movie history, combined.
With eight productions currently playing around the world, it will make its South American and Portuguese language debut when it begins performances in Sao Paolo, Brazil in February 2013. With that production, THE LION KING's 21 productions will have played in 98 cities in 16 countries on every continent except Antarctica.
As it enters its 16th year, THE LION KING remains ascendant, and one of the most popular stage musicals in the world. Since its Broadway premiere on November 13, 1997, 20 global productions have been seen by more than 66 million people and, cumulatively, run a staggering 96 years. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions (under the direction of Thomas Schumacher), THE LION KING is only the second show in history to generate five productions worldwide running 10 or more years. Translated into seven different languages (Japanese, German, Korean, French, Dutch, Mandarin, Spanish and Portuguese), THE LION KING can currently be seen on Broadway and on tour across North America, in Tokyo and on tour in Japan, in London's West End and on tour throughout the UK, and in Hamburg and Madrid.
THE LION KING won six 1998 Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Scenic Design (Richard Hudson), Best Costume Design (Julie Taymor), Best Lighting Design (Donald Holder), Best Choreography (Garth Fagan) and Best Direction of a Musical. THE LION KING has also earned more than 70 major arts awards including the 1998 NY Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, the 1999 Grammy for Best Musical Show Album, the 1999 Evening Standard Award for Theatrical Event of the Year and the 1999 Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Choreography and Best Costume Design.
The show's director, costume designer and mask co-designer Julie Taymor continues to play an integral part in the show's ongoing success. The first woman to win a Tony Award for Direction of a Musical, Taymor has in recent years supervised new productions of the show in Las Vegas, Madrid and the UK tour and just completed casting the Brazilian production in Sao Paolo.
The Broadway score features Elton John and Tim Rice's music from The Lion King animated film along with three new songs by John and Rice; additional musical material by South African Lebo M, Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor and Hans Zimmer; and music from "Rhythm of the Pride Lands," an album inspired by the original music in the film, written by Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Hans Zimmer. The resulting sound of THE LION KING is a fusion of Western popular music and the distinctive sounds and rhythms of Africa, ranging from the Academy Award-winning song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" to the haunting ballad "Shadowland."
The book has been adapted by Roger Allers, who co-directed The Lion King animated feature, and Irene Mecchi, who co-wrote the film's screenplay. Other members of the creative team include: Michael Curry, who designed the masks and puppets with Taymor, Steve Canyon Kennedy (sound design), Michael Ward (hair and makeup design), John Stefaniuk (associate director), Marey Griffith (associate choreographer), Clement Ishmael (music supervisor) and Doc Zorthian (production supervisor). Anne Quart serves as associate producer.

Police are hunting a man and a woman who chased a 14-year-old boy into Wiltshire College in Chippenham and attacked him after a car hit him on a zebra crossing.
The youngster, who goes to the college one day a week, was left shaken and with a black eye after the attack.
He had been walking across a zebra crossing in front of the college in Cocklebury Road when the car, a Ford, ran into him.
The impact threw him up into the air and onto the bonnet. The force of the impact cracked the windscreen.
A woman, said to be in her 50s, got out of the passenger side, grabbed the injured teenager and threw him to the ground.
A man, who had been driving then joined in, reportedly getting him in a headlock before the teenager managed to break free.
The youngster fled into the college's reception area but the pair chased him.
The driver allegedly continued the attack in the foyer by pushing him backwards over the counter. College staff pulled the man away from the teenager.
The man, described as 6ft 2ins, heavily built and in his 30s, with short dark hair and wearing a red top and blue three-quarter length tracksuit bottoms, then fled.
Sgt Phil Connor, of Chippenham police, said: "We want witnesses to the accident itself.
"Irrespective of the reasons that led to the collision, what happened after was completely unacceptable.
"I am sure that someone out there in the community knows what happened or has friends or neighbours matching these descriptions."
Police are now studying CCTV footage from the college. They have several witnesses of the incident inside the college but want to speak to anyone who saw what happened outside in Cocklebury Road on Tuesday, January 22, at 1pm, or who may know who the driver and passenger are.
The woman was described as being about 5ft 9ins tall, of slim build and with shoulder-length blonde hair.
Police want to hear from any windscreen repair companies who repaired or replaced a windscreen of a silver or blue Ford car in or near Chippenham on or after January 22.
Wiltshire College have praised staff for the way they dealt with the incident and have told other students not to worry about the attack being repeated.
A spokeswoman said: "It was a very unusual, one-off incident. We are providing the student concerned with support.
"The customer services team in reception dealt with the matter very well, in their usual calm and professional manner.
"Police were called and we are helping them with their enquiries. We have provided them with our CCTV footage."
Anyone with information should call police on 101 and ask for Sgt Andy Beaven, of Chippenham Response, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

HOUSTON - Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan has filed a lawsuit against Foxxy's Cabaret, an adult entertainment club.
According to Ryan, Foxxy's Cabaret, located in the 11100 block of South Post Oak Road, has been the location of crimes, including prostitution and narcotics offenses.
The county attorney said the club features bikini-clad dancers, lap dancing and has a "Champagne Lounge" where, for an additional fee, dancers will perform sexual acts.
The lawsuit demands the club owner and property owner take steps to make sure laws are followed.
The club does not have a sexually-oriented business license from the city of Houston. The ordinance requires a 1,500-foot distance between a sexually-oriented business and a church or school. Foxxy's Cabaret is located within 500 feet of a school.

We used to call them frozen bananas with peanut butter and dark chocolate. Not a very catchy name. Our clients kids said, "Those are monkey tails!" It was easy to agree.
They are fun to make with kids and build a stash in the freezer. Pull them out as needed to cool a sweltering day.
Nutrition in the ingredients- one by one
Bananas- a good source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
Peanut butter- a good source of niacin (a B vitamin), vitamin E, magnesium, and the antioxidant selenium. You also get some protein.
Dark chocolate-antioxidants and some fiber!! Also many minerals, including iron and magnesium.
But I can't eat PB.
Use another nut or seed butter instead. Almond, cashew, hazelnut, macadamia, pecan, sesame (tahini). Whatever you like. They will taste different, but still delicious.
Dark chocolate scares me.
These are dark monkeys, not milky monkeys. Go ahead, try it. Dark chocolate is a perfect complement to the sweet banana and the creamy peanut butter. Making these with milk chocolate seems like a crime to me.
Monkey Tails serves 4
|metric measures
|4 almost ripe bananas
|about 120 gm each
|8 wooden sticks
|1 cup peanut butter
|375 gm
|1 ½ cup chocolate chips
|225 gm
|1 tablespoon oil
|15 ml
Cut bananas crosswise into two tails (halves) and insert stick into cut ends. Then peel bananas.
Spread peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter) over each banana. Place bananas on plastic wrap lined cookie sheet and freeze until cold, at least one hour.
Place chocolate chips and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Warm in 20-second intervals until the chips are melted and smooth. The chips can melt without losing their shape, so be sure to stir after each heating.
Spread chocolate over the frozen bananas. Return to freezer for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
Wrap in plastic wrap if not eating right away. Store wrapped bananas in a freezer container. Loose Monkey Tails tend to stray to the far reaches of the freezer. You do not want to find an escapee 2 years from now.
This recipe is easily halved or doubled. How many Monkey Tails do you have at your house?

A couple of weeks ago, well-known conservative columnist Gerard Henderson said on the ABC's Insiders that one of the biggest issues facing Europe that had "implications" for Australia was the "economic basket case" of Crete.
We are sure that after he had his morning croissant and coffee, Henderson would have reflected that he meant Cyprus.
The implications of Cyprus' financial difficulties, stemming from too much money swishing around and too little productivity, are far reaching, to be sure. But some believe the market's selling in response has been an over-reaction and instead look at it as a buying opportunity, particularly for the most beleaguered of all sectors, resources.
One of the fund managers who Radar spoke to who has been buying small miners in the past weeks has a track record of consistent performance, having returned about 13 per cent a year to investors in his fund in the past 10 years.
"I would say that all the negative news is in the price of most miners," he said. "It wouldn't take much positive news to see a significant bounce in the next six weeks.
"Even if Europe is a write-off, the two largest economies in the world are promoting expansion and Japan is now stepping up [its stimulus]. It's far from doom and gloom."
Our bullish fund manager's argument is that Cyprus is a poor indicator for Europe, but that is just one part of the global economic puzzle which, overall, is looking increasingly positive when you consider the amount of economic stimulus going on, both in money being pumped into big economies and in direct government spending.
Last night we saw some progress in "Abenomics", where the Japanese are about to use aggressive monetary policy to kick-start their economy in the wake of 15 years of deflation and four recessions since 2000. Japan's central bank said yesterday that it would buy 7 trillion yen ($69.4 billion) worth of bonds a month.
Then you have the United States, where unemployment remains a big concern, underpinning the continuation of quantitative easing, where the central bank prints money to buy low-rated mortgage bonds at the rate of $US40 billion ($38.4 billion) a month.
Recent manufacturing data out of China was not as positive as expected but still indicates its economy is growing at a rate of about 6 or 7 per cent, according to some economists. Its government continues to pump trillions of yuan into infrastructure and education.
Companies whose share prices are linked to demand in commodities have the most to gain from global economic growth continuing. There are still about 3 billion people in the world who would like to live the way many Australians do, and the world needs more commodities for this to be the case.
The time to buy is often when sentiment is at its worst, and professional investors are supposed to be more dispassionate about these things. Time will tell.
Radar spoke to another fund manager who was less sanguine about resources, but more bullish about small caps.
David Lamm previously managed money for one of the richest families in Australia, the Alters, and has set up his own shop and managed to return more than 25 per cent a year in the past three years.
"Cyprus means nothing more than increased risk in the global financial system," he said. "Because the small end is so undervalued it's not as vulnerable to a sell off.
"I don't think it's the end of the world, but when the world comes through this, there is more potential to make money from undervalued small caps, which is why we're buying them."
Interestingly, some of the small caps that Lamm likes definitely have an international flavour.
For example, eServGlobal has a technology called HomeSend, which allows the diaspora of the world to send money back home via their mobile phones. Radar has tipped this stock and so far it has delivered a return of almost 50 per cent to investors.
It's a technology many expatriate Cypriots might consider using.

Tuesday, March 19, 2013
In the coming months, you might be able to acquire a number of nice things that you don't need but have long wanted. If you can honestly afford them, you don't have to feel guilty for spoiling yourself a little.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Our close friends often have a strong influence on us, and you're no different. If your companions have poor judgment, you're likely to follow them down a blind alley.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Disappointment is likely if you expect your co-workers to do certain jobs, duties or responsibilities that were assigned to you. Either be self-reliant or offer to do something for them in return.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're still not out of the woods when it comes to a financial obligation, so continue to be prudent in the management of your resources. Don't take the approach of solvency as a sign to spend.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Wanting to be your own person is credible, provided you're not overly insistent. Don't make everyone else miserable by only having it your way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Because you've based your evaluations on logical assumptions, your conclusions have been pretty accurate so far. Don't start to rely upon instincts or emotions that could be misleading.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There's no accounting for the surprises of kindness, but it isn't likely that you'll get something from someone whom you've refused to help in the past.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You can make a good impression on another if you act natural and be yourself. Conversely, if you attempt to convey an image that is false, you'll get bad reviews.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It won't be enough to just feel compassion if a friend comes to you for help. You need to help in ways that put substance behind your sentiments.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- When with a group of friends, don't think they won't pick up on your longings to be elsewhere if you can't simply enjoy the moment. Either relax or leave.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Do not allow yourself to be put in a position where someone else is making decisions for you. You need to be your own boss for a while.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even though your restlessness could be rather severe, don't ignore your work or responsibilities. There will be ugly consequences.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although your heart might be in the right place, you might, in actuality, be too wasteful and ineffective to utilize your resources smartly.

SCHOOLS were crippled, bus services reduced, libraries closed and thousands of bin collections shelved as around 2,500 public sector workers went on strike across Worcestershire.
Yesterday's dramatic walk-out, the biggest co-ordinated strike effort to hit the county this century, resulted in:
- 29 schools being affected with 10 shut completely and 19 partially closed
- Around 5,000 bins went unemptied by Worcester City Council as refuse workers joined the protest
- Libraries in St John's, Stourport and Tenbury had to close and at The Hive in Worcester the original archives centre was also shut as skeleton staffing hit the building
- Worcester's two park and rides at Perdiswell and Sixways were dramatically affected, with a raft of services slashed as drivers walked out
The dispute, over a one per cent pay rise, was condemned by David Cameron yesterday but people at picket lines across the county said they felt "under attack".
At County Hall, the HQ of Worcestershire County Council, Unison said around 2,000 of its members had not gone into work.
The strikes included staff at Ringway, the council's highways service for tending to road repairs.
Jim Price, secretary of Worcestershire's Unison branch, said: "We've had a lot of support even from people who have crossed the picket line.
"The park and ride has been badly hit, which is ironic and we've all seen what it's done to libraries and schools.
"We never want to inconvenience people but they must realise what's at stake here."
Some workers entering County Hall were verbally aggressive as they crossed the line to get in.
A fellow employee at the picket line, who did not want to be named, said: "I do admin work and everyone I know is totally fed up - we've had a one per cent pay rise since 2010, it's disgusting."
At The Hive the centre was operating with skeleton staff and the original archives section had to be shut as a picket line formed outside.
Archives manager Adrian Gregson, who is also a former leader of Worcester City Council, said: "It's demoralising to be fighting against the Government, we are trying to deliver a public service here for people who really need it.
"It's not just about pay, it's about how we've been asked to do more and more for less."
People inside the building, most of whom were fending for themselves yesterday, were supportive.
Ben Campbell, 20, a history degree student at the University of Worcester said: "This whole building should be shut today, they should all walk - they've been treated disgracefully."
A spokesman for Worcester City Council, where a picket line was at Orchard House, yesterday said 5,000 recycling collections had to be postponed.
The county council said schools, buses and libraries are all due to get back to normal today after yesterday's 24-hour stoppages.
A spokesman added: "In these situations we always put contingency plans in place to ensure as far as possible essential services can continue to be provided."
ANGRY firefighters in Worcester also joined the strikes - saying they felt they had "no other option".
A picket line formed across Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service's Deansway HQ at 10am and remained in place until 7pm yesterday evening.
The Fire Brigades Union's (FBU) dispute centred around not only the one per cent public sector pay offer but pension reforms.
The changes mean firefighters are paying 14.2 per cent into their pensions compared to 11.9 per cent three years ago, and will work until 60 to draw it down.
Watch commander Adrian Farmer, who was one of scores of staff at the city picket line said: "This has gone on for long enough and we feel we've no other option.
"Imagine if your house was burning down and a load of firefighters turned up in their 60s."
Firefighter Ian Fox, 47, based in Worcester, said: "A couple of years ago we paid 11.9 per cent into our pensions and now its 14 per cent.
"Now they're talking about a one per cent pay rise. All we've seen is cuts over the years, we've had enough."
Fellow firefighter Gary Southam, 48, said: "It's a hard job and none of this is helping - we don't want to strike but we feel like we've got little choice."
As well as yesterday's walk-out, the FBU is planning eight consecutive days of strike action from this Monday.
Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service yesterday said it was operating on a "reduced response" but insisted all emergency calls would be addressed with the remaining staff on duty.
Adrian Elliott, group commander of the service, said "not all of our firefighters are members" of the union but admitted some delays in responding to calls from the public had to be expected.
Fire Minister Brandon Lewis has heavily criticised the walk-outs, saying it the union keeps "disrupting a taxpayer-funded service" with "unnecessary" industrial action.
He also insists the deal offered is deal offered is "one of the most generous pensions in the whole public sector."
He said: "Under the new scheme, a firefighter who earns £29,000 will still be able to retire after a full career aged sixty, get a £19,000 a year pension, rising to £26,000 with the state pension.
"The equivalent private pension pot would be worth over half a million pounds and require firefighters to contribute twice as much."
EXTRA rubbish collection vehicles are being sent out today at taxpayers' expense to pick up the 5,000 bins left idle yesterday.
Worcester City Council revealed it was sending extra trucks onto the roads after around 50 per cent of household bins normally emptied on Thursdays were missed.
Bosses were keen to stress the bins were all green ones full of recyclables, so they had no concerns about rotting food.
But they also admitted because there are 5,000 to collect, some will not be addressed until Monday in the Claines area of the city.
Councillor Simon Geraghty, the leader, said: "It is unfortunate this strike action has been taken but the council is acting swiftly to ensure residents' bins are emptied as quickly as possible.
"Three extra refuse vehicles will be in action on Friday and our plan is to collect everything by the close of play on Monday."
Bins in Rainbow Hill, Arboretum, Warndon, St Stephens and some parts of Claines will be emptied today.
Missed garden waste collections will take place on Monday, while businesses have been told trade waste pick-ups will be addressed today.
Meanwhile, amid yesterday's drama Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to include a policy in his 2015 election manifesto to impose minimum thresholds on ballots before strikes are allowed.
Mr Cameron said it "cannot be right for children's education to be disrupted by trade unions" after teachers joined in based on a poll of just a quarter of teaching union members two years ago.

Most recommended keywords suggestion tools are paid i.e. Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery. You can use the trial version of Keyword Spy and even you may use Ubersuggest. Google Adwords keyword planner actually provides the competitive level according to the PPC campaigns.

Gilligan's Island
"Two on a Raft," 1964
Dawn Wells, who skipped around the island in hip-huggers as Mary Ann, skirted censors' Intermittent Navel regulation—which barred women on TV from constantly exposing their stomachs—by yanking up her shorts so that they rode up and down, concealing and revealing her verboten belly button.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
"Love Is All Around," 1970
When Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore) left her live-in boyfriend to become the associate producer of WJM-TV's news-show-within-a-show, she instantly became a feminist icon: the first lead woman on the small screen to trade home life for professional life. Tina Fey has said that she watched DVDs of The Mary Tyler Moore Show for inspiration when creating 30 Rock.

Did you know?
The Cape Minstrel Carnival, usually held on 2 January, is Cape Town's longest-running street party, having been held for 200 years.
So authentic is the menu at District Six Eatery in Emmarentia, Johannesburg, it feels like you're sitting at the foot of Table Mountain.
The original District Six was a vibrant neighbourhood in the shadow of Table Mountain where people from all walks of life and race groups lived and worked together before apartheid took hold in South Africa. But then, in the 1970s, the predominantly coloured population was removed to the bleak outlying Cape Flats and the buildings demolished by bulldozers, in accordance with the notorious Group Areas Act which disallowed people of different 'races' from living together. The scar of this forced removal remains visible today on the edge of Cape Town's city centre.
But the memory of District Six lives on in the hearts of former residents, among them co-owner and chef Clarence Swartland Gorlei and partner Romano Gorlei who have recreated the spirit and atmosphere of this legendary neighbourhood in an intimate restaurant in a Johannesburg suburb.
The restaurant is compact, with a maximum of 12 tables, some of which spill out onto the pavement. The vibe is fun and laid-back as friends get together over good food and lively conversation. The décor is eclectic with pink and green walls and red boudoir chairs and old family photographs decorate the walls. (Much of the crockery was salvaged from Clarence's family home.)
On the menu is traditional South African fare and there is a sense of pride in the authentic Cape Malay cuisine. Here you can sample bredies (stews), bobotie (a baked mince dish), snoek (a local fish), curries and the best milk tart this side of the Orange River. You'll also find denningsvleis (lamb cooked with tamarind), oxtail, roasted lamb shanks, pumpkin fritters, chicken pie and koeksisters (deep-fried dough dipped in syrup).
D6, as its known to the locals, always feels festive, recalling the vibrancy, colour and laughter of a neighbourhood that was once filled with the music of the Cape carnival, the spicy perfumes of curries bubbling on the stove and the chatter of neighbours catching up with each other's news on a street corner.

Talaria 44 Jet — By George L. Petrie
— May 2000
The Maine Attraction
|High-tech controls, state-of-the-art construction, and classic styling will draw you to the Talaria 44 Jet.
I was aboard a new Talaria 44 Jet heading toward the Miami ship channel at about 23 knots with Hinckley's Eric Champlin at the helm when he said, "Let me show you what I'd do if a Jet-Ski suddenly crossed into our path." I watched him pull the jet drives straight into reverse without touching the throttles. My gut tightened as I waited for the gears to grind in protest.
But there was no grinding. There was no vibration. All that happened was that the buckets dropped over the outlets on the dual 321 Hamilton waterjet drives, causing their thrust to change instantly from forward to reverse. Remembering that jet planes do the same thing when they land, I braced myself for fear of pitching forward.
My concerns were unfounded. Smoothly, almost in slow motion, the bow dropped gently and we came to a stop within two boat lengths. This was only the first of many impressive feats Hinckley's revolutionary JetStick drive performed as we put the Talaria 44 through her paces. By the end of the day, it was clear that this computerized maneuvering control system creates a whole new paradigm.
First of all, forget everything you know about handling with twin screws. Forward and reverse for both jets are controlled by a single lever (the JetStick), so there's no way to set one drive ahead and the other astern. As for maneuvering, twin engines produce no advantages over a single engine with this system. Nevertheless, the Hinckley jet proved easier to maneuver than a twin-engine propeller drive.
The Talaria 44 Jet uses the same control system Maine-based Hinckley first introduced on its Picnic Boat. Easier and more intuitive than the joystick on a video game, JetStick has three control modes. It can be switched from one to another at any time by just touching a button.
In "docking" mode, after about 15 seconds of practice, I turned the boat in her own length, moved her fore and aft, sideways, diagonally, and in any combination of directions. In its neutral position, JetStick automatically balances forward and reverse thrust to establish a "running neutral" at any desired throttle setting. Moving the JetStick forward or backward changes the proportion of thrust fore and aft. Twisting the JetStick steers the boat; tilting it activates a 10-hp bow thruster.
One thing that makes steering so simple is the rams-head deflector on the Hamilton jet drives. Turn the wheel to the right and the bow moves to the right, in forward or reverse. Even with no headway (fore and aft thrust in balance), turning the JetStick moves the stern directly to the side, pivoting the boat on its axis.
In "power steer" mode, the JetStick controls forward and reverse, but without the thrust "balancing" feature of docking mode. Twisting the JetStick turns the boat to port or starboard; when the JetStick is released, it returns to steering straight ahead. This is a great feature on a long trip, allowing hands-off-the-wheel operation with complete control.
The "normal" helm mode uses conventional wheel steering, with JetStick providing only forward, reverse, and bow thruster control. This is also the default mode that engages if there is any electrical or computer failure in the JetStick system.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A central Ohio grand jury has indicted two men in an alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting the ex-wife of one of the suspects.
A prosecutor said Wednesday that the Franklin County grand jury in Columbus charged 59-year-old Daniel Lytle with conspiracy to commit aggravated murder and related crimes.
He is accused of conspiring with 26-year-old Brad Fickenworth over several months to kill his 43-year-old ex-wife Tammy Lytle. Fickenworth also was indicted on a charge of conspiracy to commit aggravated murder.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/UClT3o ) reports that Daniel Lytle allegedly recruited Fickenworth to hire a third person to kill his ex-wife.
Their attorney information wasn't immediately available.

santeana - Saturday, January 12, 2013 - linkActually, I was surprised to see they did as well as they even did. Hasn't ECS always been sort of a no-name class board? I've seen them a lot over the years in OEM systems but I would never think to look for an ECS board if I were building a custom PC. Then again, with all the new gadgets I've had my hands on lately, maybe I'm just out of the PC-loop lol Reply

CeriseCogburn - Monday, January 14, 2013 - link
I think the gaming results page is a forced sham since we don't see any Intel based systems spanking the crap out of this amd junk. Reply
BrokenCrayons - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkWhen reviewing motherboards, the board itself should be compared among competing products which would mean using as much common hardware as possible to eliminate the differences introducted by parts that are not subject to review. In the case of the AMD platform in question, using similar equipment (processor, GPU, memory, storage, etc.) allows a reader to see where among other motherboards this particular product fits because it becomes the only variable between each review.
Numbers obtained from Intel parts wouldn't add any comparative value to the review since more than just the motherboard would become a factor in quantification of total system performance. In the case of this review, the deviation in system memory was disclaimed and could not be prevented because of problems with the BIOS failing to recognize DIMMs that were common to previous reviews. Ian pointed that variation out before, during, and after presenting benchmark results so readers would be aware something changed that impacted performance AND that the new variable was a necessity due to apparent manufacturer design flaws.
If you want to compare this board's results with Intel products (probably to make yourself feel better for having blind brand loyalty if you're not simply attempting to troll), then you can check out the results in the benchmark database. Just click the "BENCH" link at the top of the page for instant brand-loyalist gratification. Reply

We know the prices of amd boards and amd cpu, an Intel equivalent is VERY EASY to come up with.
you're the ******* brand loyalist you dummy. Reply
cabonsx3 - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkLOL, Cerise... what are you 14?
Seems legit to me. Was this article a comparison of Intel and AMD platforms? Didn't seem to be... looked like an ECS FM2 motherboard review and comparison to other FM2 offerings. You know, competitive products, ones that use the same technologies?
BrokenCrayons hit the nail on the head. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkYou're a lying idiot too. Reply
zero2dash - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkI had an ECS board with my P4 3.0C and it was a solid, stable board.
These days though, I can't say I'd go for an ECS when there's Asus, ASRock, and Gigabyte which have all been trouble-free for me and typically are all feature-rich. Reply
Samus - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkI had an ECS K7S5A years ago. VERY solid board, one of the best Athlon XP boards made. And it had an SiS chipset (one of the last) Reply
Death666Angel - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkI had that same board! :D I was dirt cheap compared to other boards of the same speed. For me, it also always worked well, OC'ing my Athlon, supporting all the RAM I inserted. But I also read of a load of people who had issues with the board.
As for ECS, I'm pretty sure they are big with OEMs. Reply
silverblue - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkMine slowly stopped allowing for 133MHz CPU and memory clocks, and in the end, it wouldn't even boot at 100/100. Bought a KT266A board and all was well again.
It's amazing that back then, your choice of board and chipset could make for a large difference in performance... Reply
blppt - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI had one too! No issues at all (although the onboard sound was beyond awful), and I remember around that time how popular this board was. A friend of mine had some sort of cold-boot issue with the board, but if you think back to that time, almost every motherboard had some sort of quirk to it. Amazing how far we've come since those days...my last 5-6 motherboards have had exactly zero issues.
I really wouldnt hesitate to buy another ECS for any build, unfortunately I've gotten into the habit of buying most of my parts from the local Microcenter (instant gratification!) and they dont carry any ECS stuff. Reply
fumigator - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkI own since year 2008~9 when it was just released, an ECS GF8200A, socket AM2+ motherboard based on nforce 7 (8200 IGP). I love it, and its still working... also 24/7 for 2 years consecutive. Reply
JonnyDough - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkECS has long been like most other board manufacturers. They have high and low end board but have not competed as strongly at the high end. It's good to see them moving more into this segment. However, I feel that it's a necessary move as well if they would like to stay in business because over the last five years or so motherboards have started using better quality components. Reply

DanNeely - Saturday, January 12, 2013 - linkWith the right edge of the board unsupported you're going to be flexing it any time you try to insert memory with the board screwed into the case. Reply
IanCutress - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkOn an open test bed I never get the feeling I'm going to break anything, as long as I have one finger holding the edge of the board. But this size PCB is working its way into quite a few sub-$200 motherboards. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkThat's why you use your fingertips to support under the edge of the board while inserting ram, the 24 pin power, etc.
If they're fat, stuff em up against the edge, if you're a thin nerdy geek, they fit under the edge and will get poked by solder points.
Get a clue.
Rather don't assemble any more PC's or use both hands.
The idiotic WHINING is really too much.
" I can't assemble a PC properly, I need more help.... my motherboard will be flexed... I can't handle it ! " Reply
SinxarKnights - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkWhile I have purchased an ECS board in the past, I've always felt there is something inherently wrong with having to Google BIOS options just to see what they are. No help in the BIOS and the manual is the same. It just says the name of the option in the description. Reply
brookheather - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkThis article isn't very well written - there are some typos and strangely worded sentences- some examples:

ibnMuhammad - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkThanks for a great review.
Still don't quite understand though, why benchmark various premium FM2 motherboards for a low to mid-range CPU? Surely most people will use AMD's Trinity with mATX and itx boards, particularly as it's perfect for a HTPC?
I'm still awaiting FM2 mATX benchmarks, sadly haven't seen any anywhere - unless anyone else has and can point me to the right place? Reply

mekpro - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkMe too. I don't quite understand the point in using Trinity with FullATX.
Trinity should meant to be used for budget gaming system which doesn't had much components. It should also used with HTPC where the size is limited.
I'm not sure why mITX is not as quite popular as it should be. The advantages of small form factor benefits over board features which is more than enough even for mITX ones. Reply

You'll never need to crossfire/SLI graphics cards with a CPU as weak as the A10-5800K. Reply
Oscarcharliezulu - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkThis has got to be the most poorly penned review I've read in a while. I reads mostly like a cut and paste jumble. You repeat yourself constantly. The grammar makes my brain hurt. Your assumptions about what "golden" represents is just space filler. For a moment I thought I was reading a bad auto-translate. Lastly, admitting you look around the web at other opinions and I now am not sure if this review is your opinion or some kind of reference to what other people have said. Please do over. D-. Reply
IanCutress - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkI do admit that sometimes my British idiosyncrasies come through more on some reviews than others, but it's not something I should apologize for. It did get a thorough triple check before going live, as do all my reviews. If there is something that completely boggles the mind, please feel free to email me for clarification.
Regarding space filler, my review is meant to cater for a large percentage of the potential readership, and thus explaining design philosophy to those not accustomed to it is part of the package.
As for looking at other reviews and such, I would be a poor academic researcher if I did not find reference and justification for the results and final opinions of the board. To go in blind would be completely remiss, especially if I come across a fringe issue, or fail to come across a significant issue because I do not specifically test for it. I am a strong advocate in researching a topic before discussing it, especially in such a public facing publication such as AnandTech.

JonnyDough - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkThis is actually one of the sharpest boards I have ever seen. As for the gold coated rear ports, I'm not sure if those are necessary, but if the price is right I wouldn't be complaining. Very ooglable! :) Reply
lordcheeto - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkYou should review the Biostar Hi-Fi A85W. That's what I have, and it looks good and performs good. Not sure how it stacks up against the boards you have tested, but I think it will do well.

This size? Reply
Rick83 - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkout of the box?
Back in the Athlon days, main board makers were using this trick to gain a few points in benchmarks, but thankfully it gradually disappeared again.
Now many different main boards hit the market, that overclock CPUs out of the box. This is not acceptable in my book, as I want all components in my system to play fair with one another, and adhere to the well known specs.
This kind of fudging around for a few percent of performance in some computation benchmarks, that don't even reflect real world gains, should be harshly judged.
After reading this, I stopped reading the rest of the review.
One other note. As you write scientific articles, why do you not preface your articles with an abstract? I think this would increase reading efficiency. If the main strong and weak points, as well as the verdict can be resumed on the front page, then a lot of time reading non-essential information can be used otherwise. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkECS is plenty big, and has a lot of good boards toward the cheaper end at all levels.
The problem here is AMD and it's crap. The overclock page is embarrassing.
Another unstable piece of amd centered junk. Reply
dgingeri - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkSorry, after my past experiences, no matter how nice you find this board and no matter how inexpensive it is, I am not ever going to buy ECS hardware. I had a motherboard that was bad out of the box, returned it for warranty replacement, got 3 used ones in a row, including one with the socket lever broken, that were also non-functional over the course of 3 months, and then declared the board was no longer under warranty because it was beyond 90 days. (This was way back in the socket 5 days.) I swore off them then and have never bought another one, in nearly 20 years.
Not gonna happen. I won't trust them again. Reply
ggathagan - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkNot particularly a fan of ECS, but I think 20 years is long enough to hold a grudge.
It would be a surprise if 80% of the ECS employees in 1991 are still working there.
