Sunderland condemned Chelsea to their first home Premier League defeat under Jose Mourinho with a stunning 2-1 victory on Saturday that took Liverpool a step closer to the title.
Chelsea were bidding to take over from Liverpool at the summit, but their loss to the league's bottom club means that Brendan Rodgers's side can now open up a five-point lead if they win at Norwich City on Sunday.
Samuel Eto'o put Chelsea ahead after only 12 minutes, but Sunderland equalised quickly through Connor Wickham and claimed victory thanks to an 82nd-minute penalty from on-loan Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.
Mourinho, who had avoided defeat in his previous 77 home league games as Chelsea manager, hit out sarcastically at referee Mike Dean after the game.
"Congratulations to my players, because they gave what they have and what they don't have. Congratulations to Sunderland, because they won. Congratulations to Mike Dean, because he made a fantastic performance.
"And congratulations to Mike Riley (head of refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Limited), because what they did during the season was fantastic for the way the championship is going."
Having held third-placed Manchester City to a 2-2 draw in midweek, Sunderland have emerged as this season's kingmakers, and victory at Stamford Bridge gave their chances of avoiding relegation a sizeable boost.
Gus Poyet's side, who had previously gone nine games without a win, finished the day three points from safety and also have a game in hand to play.
"As soon as I said we needed a miracle, things changed," said Poyet, a former Chelsea player.
"We needed something special and it happened in the last four or five days, but it is not over for us yet."
Chelsea took the lead in the 12th minute, Eto'o volleying in from Willian's left-wing corner, but it took Sunderland only six minutes to draw level.
Mark Schwarzer, deputising in goal for Chelsea in place of the unwell Petr Cech, spilled a long-range shot from Marcos Alonso and Wickham - who claimed a brace at City - pounced to clip home the rebound.
Chelsea's response was not slow in coming and visiting goalkeeper Vito Mannone had to produce smart saves to thwart Branislav Ivanovic, Nemanja Matic, Mohamed Salah and Willian before half-time.
Chelsea's frustrations told when Ramires lashed out at Sebastian Larsson with his arm, catching the Sunderland midfielder in the face, but Dean appeared not to see the incident.
The Chelsea onslaught continued in the second half, with Eto'o curling just wide and substitute Demba Ba miscuing from Willian's cut-back, but the goal would not come and there was worse to follow.
In the 81st minute, Cesar Azpilicueta was penalised for sliding in on Jozy Altidore and Borini, a former Chelsea striker, calmly beat Schwarzer from the spot.
The penalty incident saw Altidore fall after bringing his standing foot down on Azpilicueta's leg and Chelsea reacted furiously, with assistant coach Rui Faria needing to be restrained as he berated Dean.
Earlier, Fulham squandered an opportunity to escape from the Premier League relegation zone, going down 3-1 at London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
"If we had got any points here, it would have been an extra point for us," said Fulham manager Magath, whose side ended the day two points from safety.
"We have to win our home games and I think we can manage it."
Fulham slipped one place to 19th after Cardiff City moved above them on goal difference by drawing 1-1 at home to Stoke City.
Elsewhere, an ice-cool stoppage-time penalty by Wilfried Bony gave Swansea City a 2-1 victory at Newcastle United that took the Welsh club six points clear of the relegation zone.
Aston Villa spurned a chance to put clear daylight between themselves and the bottom three in a 0-0 draw at home to Southampton, while a 59th-minute Mile Jedinak penalty saw Crystal Palace win 1-0 at West Ham United.

A SERIAL charity box thief, who flouted court orders and committed more crimes, has been locked up for 18 months.
Calvin Banks, 27, had been subject to a suspended jail term for assault when he helped himself to four charity boxes.
Last December he was spared prison again, after the stealing spree, and was given a community order. The defendant then failed to turn up for probation and officers now felt the order would not work as he didn't comply, Burnley Crown Court was told.
Jobless Banks, of Rhoda Street, Nelson, admitted two counts of criminal damage on December 31 and January 3 and breaching the orders. He had been committed by magistrates for damage offences, committed at the property of a man said to have been in a violent relationship with his mother. The hearing was told in December 2012, the defendant had received 18 months in prison, suspended for two years, for assault causing actual bodily harm, He had been part of a gang that beat up a man in his own home.
In December last year, he was given a 'last chance' 12-month community order, with 12 months supervision, 120 hours unpaid work and a 28-day curfew. Banks had admitted three counts of theft and one of damage.
That hearing heard he had taken charity boxes for North West Air Ambulance, Guide Dogs for the Blind and Salvation Army.
Banks took a charity box from Nelson Post Office last October 25, put it under his jacket and left. He was caught on CCTV counting out the coins, which totalled £12.50, and was identified by a police officer. The defendant also took two charity boxes from a dry cleaning shop and one from a newsagent's. After sentence, Banks did just nine hours of the unpaid work.
Sentencing, Recorder Nigel Grundy told Banks he may have had legitimate concerns about the victim of the damage offences, but that did not excuse them.

Adding insult to injury
Wednesday, Jan 15, 2014 06:00 am
The above title aptly describes the nature of the most recent salvo fired by the provincial government under the name of Alberta Infrastructure, in what has morphed into The Battle of Eldorado Park. The application to amend the Erin Ridge Area Structure Plan (ASP) as per the Eldorado Park site is nothing short of a travesty as, if approved, it effectively eliminates any Park (P) designation at all in favor of Private and Public Service (PS). Not only does this render the site subject to total development but it in turn severely reduces the provision of park space in the entire subdivision which is in contravention of the city�s own policy. How blatant is the irony when St. Albert is boastfully given the label The Botanic City?
Rather than continue with a further assessment in my own words, I defer to the wisdom expressed in the following quotes which while not referring to the Eldorado Park dilemma, effectively describe aspects of the struggle which has ensued between the citizens of Erin Ridge and two levels of government, the latter of which have failed to act in good faith or a duly representative and transparent fashion.
Early on, �we� were not surprisingly described as being �NIMBYists� (Not in My Backyard), a term conjured up in relatively recent times, which generally has very negative overtones. Countering this negativism is a quote, derived from a presentation by Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, which is pursuing an expansion of the Trans-Mountain pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia;
�NIMBYism isn�t NIMBYism to a NIMBY, it�s about protection, it�s about preservation, it�s about protection of the land, it�s about protection of the community, it�s about protection of their yards and schools.� (Edmonton Journal, Saturday, November 30, 2013).
The only comment which I will add is to remind the citizens of St. Albert that the school in question with regards to Eldorado Park is not local but regional and although publicly supported, quasi-private, in that it has very restricted admission.
A second quote is from a �letter to the editor� by Zdenak Kutac of Calgary, Alberta under the title �Economic forecast impractical� contrasting the principles under which private industry and the public sector operate.
�Whereas a private company has one boss, any level of government constantly operates with two competing sides, the administration and the elected officials. They represent competing interests, quite often very conflicting on many levels.
The Council relies heavily on the performance of the administration, its expertise and knowledge. It bases its decisions on the advice it gets � It may not be popular, perhaps not even a right decision but that is the process given to municipal representatives.
Perhaps then, we could propose that a chief town administrator face the electorate every four years. That way we could re-establish at least some control over the interests and power of the town�s bureaucracy.� (Rocky Mountain Outlook, Thursday, January 02, 2014).
Suffice it to say that any person or group who has ever been engaged with St. Albert city council and administration, such as we the residents of Erin Ridge have over the course of the past half-year, will readily identify with what is described above.
Despite the increasingly overwhelming odds that are stacked against us, �we� shall not abandon our cause and if defeat shall befall us, we will hold our heads high in knowing that we tried our best, if not for ourselves then for those who will surely follow us in their endeavours to pursue issues which are of great importance and value to them.
Murray Lambert, St. Albert

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 2.6.13
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed that's full of Rihanna pics in remembrance, since learning earlier today of her tragic pass– What? He didn't kill her yet? Oh well, I'll keep that gallery on deck. Instead, we have Maria Menounos looking amazing from the front this time, or a "double-threat," to use that term in the most creepy and perverted way possible, Arnold Schwarzenegger trying his best to bring jack boots back in style and finally, Halle Berry grinning unsuspectingly while "Psst, put the fruit roll-ups into my backpack now or we can do this the hard way. Do you know who my stepdad is? Because he will destroy you," gets whispered in that guy's ear.
Oh, how nice, Mario Lopez threw John Travolta surprise party!

Cryonics satellites were used by Humans in the late 20th century to cryogenically preserve individuals who had passed away. They were equipped with solar panels, and divided into four interior sections. They held several cryogenically frozen Humans that had died of causes that the Humans believed would be treatable in the future.
One such satellite, launched in the late 20th century, had drifted out of Earth's orbit over the years, and by 2364 it had strayed into the Kazis binary system. Most of the cryogenic chambers on this satellite had been damaged, so only three of the passengers were viable when the USS Enterprise-D discovered it in 2364: Clare Raymond, Sonny Clemonds, and Ralph Offenhouse. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
The satellite was identified only as "an ancient capsule" or "space module" in the episode. Both the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 170) and the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion mention that the name S.S. Birdseye was inscribed on the hull. The topmost segment of the satellite was labeled with the registry or identification number 4077, one of the many references to M*A*S*H.
In an extended scene in the script of the episode, Worf states that, there was no way a satellite like this could have broken orbit and traveled the distance it had on its own power, even in thousands of years. They discover that the empty crypts had been forced opened and the occupants taken. To Data this suggested that, who ever took the satellite away from Earth's orbit probably learned all they could learn from those corpses and left the others behind. [1]

At CES GENIVI Alliance Advises Automakers – Collaborate or Die
December 13, 2013 by John Day
The critical importance of collaboration for automakers is the focus of "Collaborate or Die," a Consumer Electronics Show (CES) panel session sponsored by the GENIVI Alliance.
The session begins at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 9, 2014 in the Las Vegas Convention Center (North Hall N258).
The panel moderator is Paul Hansen, founder and publisher of the Hansen Report on Automotive Electronics. Panel members scheduled to participate include:
- Matt Jones, senior technical specialist, infotainment, Jaguar Land Rover; VP of the GENIVI Alliance
- Charles Koch, manager, new business development, Honda
- Graham Smethurst, general manager, infotainment and communications, BMW
- John Ellis, global technologist and head of the Ford Developer Program, Ford Motor Company
- Phillipe Gicquel, general manager for cockpit, safety, infotainment EE modules, PSA Peugeot Citroën
Controversial Theme
"One of the more controversial themes in electronics today is the separation of hardware and software and the shared responsibility to put it back together," says Joel Hoffmann, automotive strategist at Intel Corporation and marketing director of the GENIVI Alliance.
"In the past, Tier One suppliers provided not only the hardware but also the complete software stack," Hoffmann continues. "Now, more and more, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) want to be part of the solution, whether to save money, or to have access to a wider selection of suppliers. Today, they have the option of relying on an ecosystem of hardware and software suppliers rather than just relying on a Tier One.
"Where development used to be vertical, it's now horizontal. OEMs are collaborating with each other, and so are Tier Ones. There is still plenty of room for profit, because profit comes from differentiation, and there is plenty of room for differentiation in a collaborative design environment. Phones and tablets are profitable and they take advantage of technology from hundreds of different sources."
Where Next?
"The initial focus of the GENIVI Alliance was on in-vehicle infotainment, but our mandate is much broader than that," says Hoffmann. "ECUs (electronic control units), for example, have become so complex and so interactive that one manufacturer developing a product for a particular application may have to collaborate with another manufacturer focused on another application because everything has to work together to achieve better safety, efficiency, and performance."
The panel session is open to all CES attendees.

I have seen the 7D getting bashed for bad high-ISO performance here, but I also realize that the standards on this forum is VERY high. Since I am not a professional, and probably never going to sell any of these pictures, my view of what is acceptable is somewhat lower.
That said, I do not want to invest a large sum of money into a camera that has bad IQ over ISO 1000, as I already own one of those...
So, the question is: How bad is the 7D on high ISO (1000-6400)? Really?
I don't think most of the people that replied really cared to read the original post. He's NOT looking to upgrade to full frame.
but why would somebody not want to go FF?
@sandymandyQuotebut why would somebody not want to go FF?Performance for cost (6D and 5D2 are very different cameras to the 7D)Cost aloneThey already have a range of EF-s or DC lensesThey find the effective increase in reach useful
Sorry my bad, but why would somebody not want to go FF?
The 7D is a pleasure to use. It's a great camera. However, the high iso noise performance is not comparable to full frame camera's. Images shot at iso 3200 and 6400 (please shoot RAW) need processing to reduce noise (Adobe Camera RAW does a great job) but are very usable unless (1) the images are underexposed or (2) you intend to print the images large. For me the 7D has always delivered. Even at high iso's.

The first major overhaul of controversial NSW bail laws in 34 years will abolish all presumptions against awarding and denying bail.
The NSW government has rejected the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission to introduce a universal presumption in favour of bail, and additional applications for bail for adults.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, flanked by Attorney General Greg Smith and Police Minister Mike Gallacher, said the government would introduce a "simpler" Bail Act by removing complexities such as the presumptions scheme, which has confounded the community.
"We have all been left scratching our heads from time to time about the inconsistency in which the current bail law is applied," Mr O'Farrell said.
"Accused criminals who pose a serious risk to community safety or are likely to commit further crimes will not get bail under this model.
"Under the current law, decisions about bail are made based on the offence a person has been charged with – not the risk they pose to the community. Our reforms will ensure the risk to the community is the first thing taken into account."
Mr O'Farrell said under the new laws, the police and courts would consider whether a person posed an unacceptable risk of endangering community safety, committing a serious offence, interfering with witnesses, or absconding.
Mr Smith said the Bail Act had been amended 85 times since its introduction 34 years ago, making it inconsistent and overly complex.
"The current system of presumptions is inconsistent, resulting in bail decisions which sometimes don't seem to make sense."
Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione also welcomed the changes.
However, bail reform advocates were concerned that the removal of a presumption in favour of bail would undermine the legal principle of a presumption of innocence.

Discussion in 'Old battles' started by Phat 2, Mar 26, 2011.
Rules: Black n white piece
thats wassup phat. shit is bangin man, props.
Going wit Phat on this one
phat got it... wtf is up with ur 3d seywhat?!
daaamn, i just realized that shits even more fucked than i thought it was lol. its supposed to be goin down from the j and k and up from the a. but either way phat did his thing on this one, props again homie.
Close one, but seywhat gmv despite the mind boggling 3D haha.
never really been a fan of phats ish to be honest, just personal preference. I can see why people dig it though, bringing that 90s style funk. your painted work is too clean too.
no diss or anything, just my thoughts.
Suger Coater
sey has better letters even with the wierd three-d idea , he gmv
Honestly, if Phat wins this, I'll have no faith in Bombingscience anymore... No offense to Phat, but Seywhat's letters are FAR superior.
whats so wrong with my letters? how about some crits there drama queen?
some people just need to see straight letters all day or its wack... seys letters werent MUCH better, they were simpler i guess, but to me neither had super clean bars or letter style, i like seys K but it looks a lot like keane's K which ive seen a hundred times, and phat basically had the core of each letter pretty clean but then used too many addons and cuts...
my vote was based on which one looked better as a whole, which was phat2 to me, also he obviously gave it more effort and has a more consistent handstyle
I'd rather see Sey's outline on a frieght... it makes a lot more sense then phat's... But I agree with Nemer as a whole "Pretty Hott And Thick" put more effort into the piece and deserves the win
yeah but this battle isn't to determine whose piece would look better on a freight, moganone...
zookyook's definitely right about the fact that i added too many details and stuff to the letters which made them lose some of their structure, but back when I drew it, it looked too boring to me without anything in the fill especcially colors, so I added all that stuff, that's the case most of the time with my pieces.. I gotta look out for that, but yet again, I want the piece to have a bit more flavor,,, idonno, we shall see i guess
but i reckon my letter structure and bars and all that jazz is kinda alright, no? at least much better than before innit... I personally think that I've progressed a lot, even though i still have a long way to go
I'd say you have improved but you may still want to concider starting more simpler now that you are understanding graff more...
Here is a really old flick you had for one of the battles...
You have honestly come a long way since then...
my boy seywhat gmv simple yet fresh
It's not the simples I'm looking for. As you guys all know, I like doing wilder pieces anyway. Sey's piece has stronger structure, much better flow, and the cuts in Phat's aren't good at all. Aside from fucked up 3D on Sey's piece, compared to yours, it's a lot less to compensate for. You're definitely on the right track toward getting better, because your old shit was ridiculous and literally just shit, but Seywhat's piece is still better than yours.
phat2 on dis 1

Auto Pinstriping for Cars & Boats
I would like auto pin-striping tape in a special color or combination… can you do it?
Pinstriping tape is only available in certain colors, certain widths and certain styles. Our pinstriping tape is not cut from a roll... it is manufactured by Universal Products. We CANNOT make custom pinstriping tape. If you are unsure of what would match your needs, feel free to look through our selection by color, or by style.
I only need a few feet of vinyl pinstriping tape…can I purchase less than a full roll?
No. Depending on the color and the style, the minimum roll is either 50 feet or 150 feet. Because of the way our auto pinstriping rolls are manufactured, we CANNOT sell you less than a roll.
Can you match the striping on my (specific vehicle)?
The simple answer here is probably not. If the pinstriping tape came on your car, boat, or motor home, is was likely made for the manufacturer during that year, and is no longer available. Colors and styles change EVERY year and many colors and styles are always being discontinued. Therefore, we recommend you search our colors or styles of pinstriping tape to see if you are able to find something that you like.
One of the pinstripes I am interested in shows a measurement for a "void"… what is that?
A "void" is a place between two pinstripes where there is nothing. It is not a clear tape… it is literally nothing. The color of your vehicle will show through.
Can you send me a color sample?
We know it is often difficult to determine a color over the computer and we would love to be able to send samples to everyone. However, the manufacturer does not offer samples. If you are having difficulty trying to match something and would like a sample of one or two colors, simply EMAIL US the following information: Your name, address, email address, color requests. If we have the sample, we will send it out to you. Otherwise, we will email you back if we cannot.
Will the color fade in the sun?
Most of our striping is marine grade which means it is made to withstand the harshest of elements without fading. Stripes have a minimum warranty of 5 years...most have a 7-10 year warranty!
Are the pinstripes for cars different than those made for boats?
In some instances they can be because striping can be made from calendared vinyl or premium vinyl. All of the pinstriping we sell is made from premium vinyl which is marine-grade quality. Depending on the color, our stripes have a lifespan of 5-9 years without fading.
Do you offer the little decals for the front and back of the pinstriping?
Unfortunately we do not offer pinstriping decals for the ends of the vinyl. Those were popular many years ago when pinstriping was done by hand. You don't see too many cars or trucks with those these days.

Topic: think happy thoughts
Hi all. Just wanted to reach out for a cc warrior. I'm not going to name any names but as we say miracles do happen. She was dx stage 4 and termed inoperable earlier last year. After going through some difficult treat this wonderful woman is going in for some extensive surgery to have a reaction. Please keep her in your thoughts prayers and blessings! I am so happy she has been given this opportunity and its a constant reminder to me and I hope all of you that there is hope.

For Suno's Fall '13 collection, duo Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty made a case for prints, juxtaposing stripes with brocades, florals with plaid — and it worked. It might sound like pattern overload, but the results were nothing short of chic, refreshing looks. Instead of competing against one another, these prints complemented in every way, resulting in a bold yet effortlessly elegant lineup of dresses and separates. From a short, sleek gold-brocade jacket and matching trouser to a striped jumpsuit, see our favorite printed looks from Suno's Fall '13 collection right now.

What if your vendor is hacked?
By M URSULA HERRMANN
Mary Ursula Herrmann
Mary Ursula Herrmann
is a Network Security Analyst living in Juneau, AK. She has worked in Information Security for over 15 years, and obtained her CISSP in 2005.
As you may have read in the news, security firm Bit9 was
recently. It turns out that they didn't install their own software on some of their computers, and the hackers stole a code-signing certificate and subsequently hacked some of the company's clients, using the certificate to sign their own malware. Since Bit9's solution relies solely on
, there wasn't any way to prevent the malware from running at the clients' sites.
Whitelisting means, in this case, that anything that was signed by Bit9's certificate, or anything else on the list, was considered to be "good". Whitelisting is normally considered to be better than
, where anything listed is considered to be "bad", because it is by nature more restrictive; if you're not on the list, you can't "get in". But how many times have you seen some hotshot character in a TV show or movie social-engineer his way past a bouncer's "whitelist" at a bar or event? Ferris Bueller convinced the maitre d' at Chez Quis that he is "Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago"; the Bit9 hackers convinced Bit9's clients' computers that they installing legitimate software in a technical version of the same gambit.
So in other words, whitelisting isn't foolproof either, especially when the fool in question is the security vendor you're trusting to help keep your data secure. Bit9 was not following their own procedures for network security, leading to their customers being adversely affected. The problem has now been fixed, and the certificate in question revoked, but can Bit9 or their customers really be sure of the damage that was done?
It wasn't all that long ago that the same thing happened to Adobe: their systems were hacked into and a signing certificate was stolen. The incident was swept under the rug after the certificate was revoked, and everyone assumes that as long as you've updated your software and trusted certs you should be fine...but that, along with the assumptions that the two utilities that were discovered by Adobe to have been signed with the affected certificate were the only ones, and that they can't do any harm since the revocation, may not actually be the case. It's just that nobody can actually do anything about it if it's not.
So what can you do if your security vendor is hacked? The answer is that you need to have a contingency plan that covers this eventuality, and you need to be very vigilant about what (and who) is on your network.

Yesterday we had a huge block party and since we were new to the area I figured we'd do that and we had a great time. Lots of alcohol and I decided to make MOINK balls for the first time since they always look so good.
It's rather simple to do and the end results are FABULOUS. Bacon, frozen meatballs, your favorite BBQ rub and BBQ sauce.
I first defrosted the meatballs, sliced the strips of bacon in half and rolled up and then secured with a tooth pick. After that was all done I dusted them with Dizzy Pig All Purpose Rub.
Untitled by EKomrska, on Flickr
I got my Egg to around 300 and put in some maple chips cause the bacon was Maple smoked to begin with...
Untitled by EKomrska, on Flickr
Once the bacon crisped up I then sauced them with the best sauce ever...Palmetto Juice. Suprisingly though on the MOINK balls once it was glazed it lost it's spiciness.

Here is a plated pic...

Put them down and they were gone in 5 minutes. Luckily I was able to taste one and they were so good! Next time I would look bigger meatballs but this is definitely on a Sunday NFL snack rotation from now on!

Tin Tie Bags From Paper Mart
When it comes to baking cookies, part of the fun is wrapping them up and giving them to friends. For me, packaging them in a way that keeps them fresh yet easily accessible has always been a challenge. Plastic zipper bags are out. They are good for other things, but zipper bags aren't very cute and depending on what brand you use, you may transfer the taste of the bag itself to the cookies. Tins are terrific, but they take up a lot of room and are expensive. The solution? Tin tie bags from Paper Mart. They look slick, keep cookies very fresh, and when you buy them in bulk, they are only a few cents a bag. I've had very good luck with Paper Mart. Orders usually show up at my door earlier than the expected and in good condition. I bought them on a whim a few years ago and got so much positive feedback from friends that when my first bulk order of 100 bags ran out, I ordered more.

Depends on the track. (which is why I voted donut cheezeburger. It actually sounds gross)
We have 1 track in town that is in crappy shape and it is considered acceptable to have kids ride on that track. Counter clockwise and staying in a lane. So it seems like your problem is parenting.
A track like that with what looks like a decent surface? Oh hell no. The school/university would lock the track if people started letting kids ride on it.

Little dude on the 6" of track outside lane 6 is good.
My girl going clock-wise in lane 2... I'm torn because, yeah she's breaking all the rules, but she's also hanging onto a pretty tight turn. Things like that do tend to moderate my irritation. If it were her or me, though, she's going down. (Good thing she's wearing a helmet).

I am spaniel - Crusher of Treadmills
I was on the final mile of a greenway run today when I passed a man walking with his 5 year old daughter who was riding a bike. She was slightly ahead of him.
As I approached a downhill section that goes towards a big pond, I noticed that she had pulled ahead of me slightly and was way ahead of her dad.
I could see the situation unfold as she went down the hill. She needed to take an easy turn to the right at the bottom of the hill, then circle the pond going counterclockwise.
She tried to take the hairpin turn to the left. I knew if she tried to make the turn that she was going to wreck. Instead she eased up on the tight turn and headed straight into the pond.
I was in the pond plucking her out within about 2 seconds. Her dad came along after I helped her get off the bike and up to the shore. She was in deep enough that the water was up to the seat on the bike. To my surprise she never cried or seemed concerned. She was kind of like, "hey, check it out, I'm in the pond."
Her dad came along and thanked me for helping and we all went on our way. She had some nice pond seaweed stuck in all the spokes. Should make a good story for the momma tonight.
Keep in mind this is just a snap shot. Little dude in red almost took me out 500m into an 800 in lane 1.
Disappointing. Good thing he's also wearing a helmet... If I'm marathon training, I'm not above paying Motocross Girl to veer into Little Dude so I don't have to deal with the angry stares. I'm guessing $20 would do it.

• pizza •
Pronunciation: peet-sê • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A southern Italian dish consisting of a thin piece of bread covered with tomato sauce and cheese, usually enhanced with other bits such as olives, sausage, and mushrooms.
Notes: Today's Good Word is still so warm from Italian that all its relatives are still purely Italian: a pizzaiolo is a pizza maker, while a pizzeria is a pizza parlor. A small pizza with a very thin crust is a pizzetta. (Did you know that?)
In Play: Although pizzas have been available in Italian restaurants throughout North America since the turn of the century, they languished unnoticed until the 1950s. They were originally called "tomato pies" or "pizza pies" since, in the American experience, they most resembled a thin pie with tomatoes. Pizza is now one of the most popular foods around the world, one of the few that will be delivered to your house.
Word History: Pizza has a historical pedigree going back over a thousand years. The word is first recorded in a Latin text from the southern Italian town of Gaeta in 997 AD. That text claims that a certain tenant must give the bishop of Gaeta duodecim pizze "twelve pizzas", every Christmas day and another twelve every Easter Sunday. Did you know that pizza was originally a German(ic) word? It originated in Langobard, a Germanic language spoken in southern Italy way back when. The Langobard word was probably bizzo or pizzo "a bite", which comes from the same Proto-Germanic words as English bite and bit. The same word in Gothic, a northern Germanic language of roughly the same time related to Langobard, would have been pitta and probably was borrowed in northern Italy as pita, a bread similar to that of the pizza. (Today's tasty bite of English vocabulary was delivered by Sally Capotosto, to whom we are all very grateful.)

A NEW care plan will be trialled in Dudley borough to allow more people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses to spend their final days at home.
Macmillan Cancer Support has teamed up with Mary Stevens Hospice, NHS Dudley Clinical Commissioning Group and Dudley NHS Foundation Trust for the pilot scheme.
The Macmillan Specialist Care at Home is based on a Swedish model of advanced home care.
It will be led by a community-based consultant who will ensure teams of highly skilled doctors, nurses, support workers and other professionals work together to provide flexible and personalised care.
Starting next month, the scheme will see people affected by cancer and other life-limiting conditions referred for specialist care at the earliest opportunity and offered as much medical treatment and support in the home as possible.
The team will collaborate with a range of local health and social care organisations to join up and co-ordinate the right support for the individual and their family.
The trial will run until 2016 and then an external evaluation undertaken by academics at Nottingham University's Sue Ryder Centre, will advise on future plans.
Ciarán Devane, chief executive at Macmillan Cancer Support, said: "We know that three quarters of cancer patients would prefer to spend their final days in their own home with family and friends, but less than a third actually do. "To allow people a real choice, we need health and social care services to be coordinated into a seamless package of care."
Dr Steve Cartwright, clinical executive at Dudley CCG, added: "This is an excellent example of partnership working at its best. By ensuring the right care packages are in place in the community for terminally ill people and their families, emergency hospital admission for those at the end of life could be substantially reduced."
He continued: "Not only does this pilot scheme offer patients the chance to be cared for in the comfort of their own home, but by learning to manage their own symptoms they can often prevent hospital stays and the associated distress these might cause. We hope to learn a lot through these pilots about how cancer care could look in the future."

ACRON,Inc.These brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
Lew W. Reese, Jr. was seated comfortably in one of the boardrooms of ACRON, Inc. One final test and he would then be hired as one of the company's top executives with a seven figure monthly salary and all the perks. Exactly for what top level office, he was not told by the executive search committee. Our Chairman feels strongly about your name, they told him.
After a few minutes, the charming assistant of the Chairman entered the room and gave him a piece of paper marked 44444.
He almost fell from his chair when he read it because he was clueless as to the officers of the company.
The paper read:
1. PRESIDENT: Mountains of Work. Rush Work. More Work or Bust.
2. CFO: Number Crunches. Value Operations.
3. CORPSEC: monthly meetings every 30 days.
4. VP-PLANNING: Environment and Competition Analysis

Know Your Future Balance with Pending Items
Pending Items shows you an estimated future balance. It uses upcoming Web Pays and Web Branch transfers to project future balances on your accounts.You can increase the accuracy of this balance by adding additional pending items, such as recurring income or expenses.
The future balance can be used to help manage cash flow and identify an opportunity to make a purchase or add to savings or if an account is in danger of overdraft. The new feature can also be used as an online check register.
From there, you can always add individual items to your pending list. The easiest way to do this is to find the item in your past history and choose "Create Pending Item" from the toolbar on the right (see the first screenshot above). You can also easily edit the amounts of existing pending items by clicking on them.
Pending items will be automatically matched as the actual transactions hit your account. The description, date and amount have to reasonably match. If an item doesn't match, it can easily be removed.
Along with the recurring items, you can also add one-time items like paper checks you write. We'll also automatically include Web Pay paper checks so your balance will more accurately reflect these items until they clear.
You can easily customize which items you want to see and how far into the future we will project by clicking on "Options" in the upper right.
We are really excited to bring this new functionality to Web Branch. With just a few minutes of effort, you can have peace of mind in knowing how much money you'll have in the future and a better overall picture of your financial situation.

This is an awesome feature. Thanks for your innovation.ReplyDelete
As a separate request, when are you going to provide read-only application accounts for things like mint and yodlee? I'd love this so I don't have to give out my details? ING Direct has done a pretty decent implementation of this.
We don't have any immediate plans to offer read-only feeds of member account information. However, the ING idea is good and would help protect your Web Branch access. We'll consider it for a future enhancement.ReplyDelete
We are focused on continuing to enhance our own Money Management Tools product, but we realize other tools exist and offer features we don't (and may never) offer.

Right now when scheduling a transfer, the UWCU website asks for:ReplyDelete
1) the account to transfer from
2) the account to transfer to
3) the amount to transfer
4) the date to perform the transfer
Could you please add:
5) Comment/Note
This would allow the customer to enter a comment or note like the note line on a check. This would allow them to review the reason they scheduled the transfer both prior to and after the transfer occurs.
- AnonymousApril 17, 2011 at 9:17 PM
You allow account transactions in savings and checking accounts to be assigned a "category".ReplyDelete
Why don't you allow a user to assign a "category" for transfers & payments at the time they schedule the transfer or payment?
Regarding the scheduled transfers, we'll think about adding this. There is a lot of integration that we are already doing to make all of this work together and show up in your pending items. Some things are pretty difficult to make work, but I agree this would be a nice feature.ReplyDelete
Regarding the categorization of scheduled transfers, this is also a lot more difficult than it probably looks. Again, we've done a lot of work behind the scenes to make everything appear in one place, but the data is coming from tons of different places to show up in pending items.ReplyDelete
We also like this idea and will add it to the list, but there are a number of technical hurdles we'll have to overcome to make this work.
The transfers will auto categorize when they become real history items.

This is a great feature, but lacking one important thing when it comes to joint accounts. My wife and I have separate logins, but draw from the same accounts. When I enter pending transactions, she can not see them and vise versa. Why is this? This makes it hard to keep our books straight as one hand does not know what the other hand is doing.ReplyDelete
Regarding joint accounts, the short answer is we know and understand. The longer answer is that this is not something easy to do. While you may want to share this information, others may not. Or you may want to share it about one account and not another. We'd need to build a system where you can set up permissions as to what the joint member can and can't see (or do).ReplyDelete
We do have this issue on our radar screen, but it isn't likely to be addressed in the foreseeable future. The complexities and amount of work it would take to implement makes it hard to justify. I think there will be a day when we can address this, but we ask you to be patient.
- AnonymousJune 27, 2011 at 7:19 AM
I echo the comment(s) from the May 8th posting. However, I certainly do not understand the response that was posted. Today if an account is 'joint', is it not true that each individual has "equal" access? Therefore each individual that is 'joint' should have access to any pending transaction information. You may want to set up a system that limits permissions, but that is not how things currently are now. (and in my opinion - the setting account permissions, the account is no longer 'joint')ReplyDelete
The permissions that you'd be granting would be to the Web Branch information. While a joint holder on an account has full rights to that account from a banking perspective, that does not apply to online access via Web Branch. On Web Branch, all of the access is controlled by the member logging in (this is typical of all online systems where the the username controls access and everything flows down from there).ReplyDelete
Because of this, we can't just assume that one member would want to share all their pending transfers, Web Payments, etc. just because it happens to be on a joint account. Thus the need for some kind of way to grant access to this.
- AnonymousSeptember 7, 2011 at 8:49 AM
Is this feature, (to view future balance with pending items) available for credit card accounts? It's awesome to have this for my checking account but would like to see my credit card balance as well.ReplyDelete
Yes, Pending Items is available on all our accounts, but is most useful for spending accounts like Checking and Credit Cards.ReplyDelete

It is still on the "list" but we probably won't get to it in 2012.

Budget billing is a program available to City of Columbia utility customers to even out their energy costs by paying the same amount each month.
Applications may be submitted during the month of March only.
To be eligible for budget billing you must:
You may participate in the budget billing program by submitting your application online or by completing the application form and returning it to Utility Customer Services.
A budget billing amount is established by taking the previous 12 months' actual bill and dividing it by 11.
The amount is reviewed on a quarterly basis and the amount may be adjusted at that time. The customer will be notified in writing if their budget billing amount is changed.
Accounts are settled up each year in the month of March. If there is a balance owed, it will be included in the March bill amount.
Budget billing may be discontinued during the year by notification from the customer. The City will choose to discontinue a customer's budget billing if the customer is delinquent twice during the budget billing period.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2013 (1618 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CRITICS are quick to crucify Gwyneth Paltrow for what she feeds her children.
She "lets her kids go hungry," exclaims a headline on Tribute.ca. A photo caption on the Daily Mail website reads "Happy hungry family: Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted that she starves her children of carbohydrates."
What has triggered the supposed scandal? It's her new cookbook, It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great.
In her book, the tall, blond and slender Oscar-winning actress — known for following a macrobiotic diet— reportedly writes that she tries to avoid feeding her family refined carbohydrates.
And occasionally her kids and husband — Apple, 8, Moses, 6, and Coldplay singer Chris Martin — are left wanting more.
"Sometimes when my family is not eating pasta, bread or processed grains like white rice, we're left with that specific hunger that comes with avoiding carbs," web sources cite her as saying.
News reports are blowing her statement about carbohydrates out of proportion.
Paltrow does feed her kids carbs. (Carbohydrates — with the exception of fibre — are foods that turn into glucose/ sugar when digested). Carbs provide energy for the brain and body.
The "hunger" she talks about is probably the withdrawal that many people get with they cut bagels, cookies and sugar from their diets. Scientists say fast-acting, unhealthy carbs trigger the brain to release dopamine and serotonin — the same hormones released when a druguser gets his fix of cocaine or heroin. The critics are missing the point that vegetables, fruits, brown rice and beans, reported staples in the Paltrow-Martin kitchen, are, indeed, carbohydrates. They're just the healthy kind — the kind that isn't processed in a factory their until their nutrients are stripped away. The carbs that Paltrow favours are released slowly into the bloodstream and don't spike bloodsugar levels as quickly as their processed counterparts. Generally, these slow-acting carbs don't use up as much insulin. Insulin, while a necessary hormone, helps the body store fat around the belly when released in excess. The news about Paltrow's diet quirks should have us thinking about how most parents feed their kids. A fitting headline about that subject would read something like this: "Obese kids face early death; millions of parents deny blame as they force high-fat, high-sugar, high-chemical diet on children."
It's easy to pick on Paltrow. She's exceptionally beautiful — and her long, lean body is not what you'd see on the typical North American, a continent with a 25 to 35 per cent obesity rate, according to Statistics Canada and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
But Paltrow's stunningly svelte physique doesn't mean that she's starving her kids.
It's fair to question why she sees fit to take gluten out of their diets, as she says her doctor recommended. (Gluten is a protein found in wheat flour that certain people can't digest).
But the bigger picture? Her "controversial" macrobiotic diet that she reportedly followed for years is nothing outrageous. It's just a healthy plant-based diet, one that most heart experts would recommend as heart-preserving.
So-called macrobiotic foods include whole grains, veggies, seaweed, beans, fish, nuts and seeds — all nutrientdense foods. That's a diet full of carbs, healthy, non-animalbased fats and protein.
Kids fed such a diet would be well-nourished and a long way from starving.
Kids consistently fed Kraft Dinner, white bread, Chicken McNuggets, sugary drinks, pancakes, french fries, candy and Lunchables are the ones who are deprived. Even if they do overeat, they're actually starving of the nutrients that help them grow and ward off sickness.
Earlier this month, Dr. Sharon Mulvagh, director of the Mayo Clinic's Women's Heart Clinic spoke at a Winnipeg conference on heart health.
She made it clear that refined carbs — the kind Paltrow avoids feeding her family — contribute to heart disease, possibly as much as saturated fat. (Apparently glucose restricts blood flow reserves to the heart).
What does this have to do with kids?
Winnipeg pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Heather Dean first noticed Type 2 diabetes in children in the 1980s. Her findings shocked the medical community. They were used to seeing kids get Type 1 diabetes, a non-preventable and possibly auto-immune condition.
Type 2 diabetes was an adult disease, metabolic chaos often brought on by a diet high in refined carbs and a lack of exercise, she has told the Free Press on more than one occasion.
Dean says her young Type 2 diabetes patients face "adult" diabetes complications such as kidney failure and lower limb amputation. These are devastating consequences often due to a diet high in refined carbs (which lead to high blood sugars).
Aside from avoiding white bread, Paltrow has reportedly decided to steer clear of certain starchy carbohydrates such as potatoes, explaining that they aren't full of the vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals found in other foods.
This might seem questionable to some people.
As someone with Type 1 diabetes, I understand. Potatoes raise my blood-sugar levels through the roof and require me to take extra insulin. The proof is in the blood-sugar test I take after eating them.
And since when can't you get the nutrients found in potatoes elsewhere?
Why are parents who feed their kids beans, vegetables and fruit more worthy of criticism than parents who think it's safe to fill their kitchens with Lucky Charms, chips and TV dinners?

When I Saw You
Dir/scr: Annemarie Jacir. Palestine-Jordan-UAE-Greece. 2012. 93mins
A tender, sometimes mischievous coming-of-age story set around a Palestinian refugee camp, When I Saw You is a hearfelt, approachable, if soft-centred depiction of deracination from a child's point of view. A polished, narratively engaging package from writer-director Annemarie Jacir, When I Saw You is hardly the most confrontational screen treatment we've seen of this theme, but that should give it a modest shot at commercial exposure beyond festivals, especially those with children's and human rights angles.
When I Saw You is a tender, benign film although it clearly has a strong core of political anger.
Set in Jordan in 1967, the film centres on Tarek (Asfa), an ebullient young boy who lives in a Palestinian refugee camp with his mother Ghaydaa (Blal), both hoping against hope that Tarek's dad will eventually find them and that one day they'll all be return to their homeland. The first part of the film vividly sketches out the harsh conditions in the camp - notably, long queues for the austere toilet facilities - as well as Tarek's irrepressible character. Unable to read, he's nevertheless an acutely smart kid, and a natural mathematician - although his intelligence seems to be distracting his classmates, causing him to be excluded from school.
Tiring of camp conditions, Tarek goes walkabout and finds himself lost in the wilderness - where he's found by Layth (Bakri), a member of a fedayeen paramilitary group stationed in the vicinity. Tarek is taken in by the group and eventually gets to join in their training activities, under the gruffly watchful eye of Maoist-inspired commander Abu Akram (Elayan), who's always ready with a stern political dictum.
Eventually, Mum tracks Tarek down to the camp, and a freeze-frame ending suggests that, against the odds, they might stand a chance of getting home.
When I Saw You is a tender, benign film although it clearly has a strong core of political anger. A sweet, wry humour and strong characterisations work in its favour, with Blal very impressive as the no-nonsense unsentimental young matriarch. As Tarek, Asfa brims with enthusiastic energy - although the film relies over-heavily on his artlessly big-eyed exuberance.
Hélène Louvart's photography is no-frills but evocative, contrasting the harsh greys of the refugee camp with the greens and other natural tones of the clearing where the fedayeen encampment comes across as a rather idyllic déjeuner sur l'herbe. Period Arabic pop, plus a vintage Cat Stevens number, add to the historical background - and back up the film's argument that, over five decades, not much has changed for children like Tarek.

Hey all,So I'm trying to create a button that will open a random .php file from a given directory. I'm relatively new to .php (like, I've been diving in for the past 3 weeks), so I don't understand a lot of the nitty-gritty stuff. But I've been able to tweak some code (originally for displaying random images) and get it to almost do what I want:
$image_path = "my/directory";
$types = array(
"PHP" => "php");
$file_list = array();
$image_path = realpath(trim($image_path) != "" ? $image_path : ".") . "/";
if ($image_path !== false && is_dir($image_path) && $handle = @opendir($image_path)) {
while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
if (is_file($image_path . $file)) {
$file_extension = strtoupper(substr(strrchr($file, "."), 1));
if (isset($types[$file_extension])) {
$file_list[] = array(
"filename" => $image_path . $file,
"mimetype" => $types[$file_extension]); } } } }
if (sizeof($file_list) > 0) {
@readfile($file_list[0]["filename"]); }
else { die("No files found."); }
I'm getting a random file, but it's displaying the whole page instead of a link. I know i need to use echo and  in there at the end, but I don't know how. I tried about a dozen different variations on $file_list, $file, "filename", etc., but nothing worked.
I am grateful for ideas. Thanks!!
$directory = "some/directory";
$files = scandir($directory);
$target = mt_rand(2,count($files)-1);
echo "".$files[$target]."";
Thanks, StarLion. I should have mentioned that I have files with several extension in the directory, but I only need .php files, and not any other types. Will this code do that?
No, it will retrieve all files in the directory.
$directory = "some/directory";
$files = scandir($directory);
$files = preg_grep("~.*\\.php$~",$files);
$target = mt_rand(0,count($files)-1);
echo "".$files[$target]."";
I'd suggest using GLOB instead of scandir plus a regex -- since it lets you do wildcards so you're not using as much memory thrashing and giving the garbage collector rikki fits. Also helps to put the trailing slash on directory, so when you composite them in the echo you don't need more code.
echo '

We have a winner!
<?php$directory='./my/directory/';$files=glob($directory.'*.php');$target=mt_rand(0,count($files)-1);echo "RANDOM";?>
Thanks to you both!!!
Not sure why you switched it back to the slower crappy bad coding methodology on the echo though Double quotes and string addition on echo... WHY do people do this?!? Just TRYING to give the garbage collector fits and make the code harder to follow AND run slower?[/ot]
Sorry In my noob-ness (3 weeks of PHP), i really don't know better. Your original example was repeated the directory twice in the results (../my/dir/my/dir/ instead of ../my/dir/), so I used StarLion's echo function, which WAS displaying correct paths.

Tchamber - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkIt would be nice to see how memory impacts gaming with a graphics card. Or does the difference get so small that there's no meaningful difference? Reply
Magnus101 - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkI think it already is no meaningful difference in most games, even with the integrated GPU!
As with all memory performance tests, the real world difference is so small that it makes no sense to throw money at higher speced memory.
Almost in all circuimstances, perhaps except some special cases like they highlighted in an earlier article hear at anand.
The biggest difference there was for Winrar64 compression (not the usual unpacking we normal user do almost daily) and that was still only 20% differece between 1333 and 2400.
I haven't seen any benchies with memory for compilers (programing) or for DAW (music making, like with cubse, sonar and so on), but I suspect it is the same old story of almost no difference. Reply
tekphnx - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkSecond Life at max settings is a notable exception. I recently upgraded from DDR3-1600 to DDR3-2000 on my i5-760 @3.8ghz with GTX670, and saw a jump of 5-6fps in minimum framerates. Reply
JonnyDough - Friday, October 26, 2012 - linkI COMPLETELY agree. This article is BOGUS. Here's why:
If you're going to spend money on higher end memory then you may as well fork over a little for a discreet graphics card instead. It will make much more difference in games.
Intel integrated graphics are only good for office usage still. No real gamer or anyone doing heavy GPU calculations, cares about Intel IGPs.
Show us what this more costly memory does for a real gamer and we'll consider purchasing it. Three frames per second more on an IGP is not worth the money spent on this memory. Reply
IanCutress - Friday, October 26, 2012 - linkThat's the thing - not everyone that has a PC uses it for gaming. As alluded to by Magnus, there are other things that do not need a discrete GPU but are still used by a large number of enthusiasts - VMs, compilations, even non-parallel scientific simulations. You whack in a stupidly large matrix into memory and it will bog down. Failing that, how about financial calculations? Now put all that inside a mITX chassis and board where you're limited to two memory slots. Sure 2x8GB 2400 C11 may not be your first port of call, but if saving an extra 3-5% time on whatever you do actually has a financial impact on your work portfolio, then the early investment could pay off in the long run. Then again, it may not and that 2x4GB 1333 C9 is looking a little sweeter.
No article is bogus, as you put it. Sure there are good things to review and some that are not so good. If we solely focused on the good, then we'd all be sitting around patting each other on the back for doing a service to the industry. I like reviewing all sorts - you get to see the niggles of the smaller companies that can't invest, or you can point out when a top company is just being stupid. Thus when you get a really good product that shines out from the rest, it is something special to behold.
PS There are plans for a compilation benchmark in future reviews. I'm trying to organise a decent one that I can strap a timer to without sitting in front of the screen for 20 minutes waiting for it to finish. Reply
Runamok81 - Friday, October 26, 2012 - linkTrue, not everyone uses a PC for gaming. But do you really think the "frost white" Evo Veloce memory is targeted towards the financial or enterprise sector? As silly as it is, Enthusiasts with money than sense WILL pay a premium to raise their benchmark synthetics. Reply
ytoledano - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkSticks like these coupled with a X79 motherboard with 8 DIMMs populated are biting into server territory - I'm sure! I'm running a 3930K + 48GB (I will soon have to upgrade to 64) as a dedicated SQL server. How much would similar performance cost me if I'd built the system around a Xeon? Probably twice. Reply
Blibbax - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkRoughly £400 extra for the Xeon equivalent of the 3930K. Reply
quixver - Tuesday, November 20, 2012 - linkYou are missing out on ECC though. Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkAnyone who has actually tested higher RAM frequencies or RAM quantities above 4 GB. in a typical modern desktop PC knows that frequencies above 1600 MHz. produce no tangible system performance gain in either Intel or AMD powered PCs. Tangible means a change in system performance that you can actually see and or feel. In addition more than 4 GB. of RAM produces minimal gains unless you operate your PC with many applications open or functioning concurrently, which most people don't. CAD, modeling, and some other business applications CAN benefit from more RAM but many consumer apps don't.
Be advised that RAM benches grosssly mis-represent the actual SYSTEM gains because they assume the RAM is saturated 100% of the time, which it is not. If you run real applications and compare 1333 MHz. to 2400 MHz. you will likely not even be able to tell the difference between the two because DDR3 RAM @ 1333+ MHZ. is not a system bottleneck.
The RAM mfgs. are doing everything they can to convince enthusiasts to buy high priced high frequency RAM because this is very profitable for them. When you test with real applications and see how tiny the system gains are, you will wish that you had bought 1600 or 8166 MHz. RAM at a reasonable price and used the cash for a faster CPU or GPU.
If you have money burning a hole in your pocket then by all means buy the fastest RAM you can find. Then you can brag at how cool it is... even if you can't actually use the highest frequency in your PC. Understand that your CPU may not be able to run the RAM anywhere near it's rated frequency. Typically Deneb CPUs top out around 1600 MHz., Thubans around 1800 MHz., Zambezi at 2000+ MHz. and Vishera around 2400 MHz. based on initial testing for Vishera. No one cares about Intel CPUs so I won't post on them... <LOL> Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkCan't change the type from 8166 MHz. to the proper 1866 MHz. but most folks should be able to figure it out... Reply
silverblue - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkOf course, if you have an APU-based system, the faster memory does indeed make a difference... though I agree, it's the exception rather than the norm. Reply
JlHADJOE - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkBut then its totally contrary to one of the main reasons behind having an APU -- penny pinching.
These kits cost twice the DDR3-1333 going rate, so that's $75 you could have put into a GPU. Can't speak for everyone, but I'd probably choose an i3 with DDR3-1333 + a 7750 over an A10-5800k with DDR3-2400. Reply
JohnMD1022 - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkMy thoughts exactly.
1600 seems to be the sweet spot on price and performance. Reply
PseudoKnight - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - linkAnandtech did a series of memory frequency tests like a year ago (I forget exactly). While they found that 1333 to 1600 didn't offer much in terms of average FPS gains in gaming, it had a clearer impact on minimum frame rates. I'm not saying it's worth it either way here, but I'd like people to give some attention to minimum frame rates when talking about the benefits of bumps in memory frequency.
That said, 2400 is obviously overkill here, but that should be obvious to anyone who wants to spend their money efficiently. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkThe article the did a year ago (with Sandy Bridge in mind) says absolutely nothing about minimum frame rates vs average... I don't even see how faster memory could have such an effect with a dedicated GPU. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - link*they Reply
JlHADJOE - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkIt might have been techreport. They're the guys who usually do those frame-time measurements. Reply
poohbear - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkpseudoking what are u talking about? there is virtually NO effect on minimum frames on a dedicated GPU system. Ever since the memory controller moved to the CPU, the RAM timings have become ALOT a less important component in the system. The only way it shows a difference is when you go to all kinds of outlandish scenerios that involve isolating the GPU and CPU to situations that show some difference between RAM, but in a real world setting those situations are so rare that it becomes pointless to even entertain them. Reply
Ratman6161 - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkBut add running virtual machines to your list of reasons why a lot of memory might be good. When working from home I've actually typically got the host machine where I'm doing most of my actual work plus at least two virtual machines running, each VPN'ed into a different remote network. So it isn't too uncommon for me to see about 90% of my 16 gb in use at any one time. And I do occasionally hit times when I have to shut down one VM in order to start another. So I wouldn't actually mind having 32 GB.
On the other hand, while I need a large quantity of RAM, my 1600 MHz G-Skill works just fine performance wise so I don't need speed - I need quantity. Reply
mmstick - Saturday, October 27, 2012 - linkActually, yes you can tell the difference depending on the applications you run. In fact, the distributed OpenCL GPU computing projects I use over at BOINC, the biological research, requires extreme frequencies. The higher the processor frequency, the higher your GPU load and ability to install more GPUs for the project becomes. If I run my RAM at 1333Mhz with my 7950, I need to run 8 work units in order to get that memory to get 80% efficiency. After overclocking my RAM to 1800Mhz I was able to get the efficiency up to 95%. With faster memory, I could run less work units, and install a second graphics cards, although I would likely need 2133Mhz quad channel memory in order to saturate two 7950s in the HCC project. In POEM, I would actually need 4266Mhz quad channel DDR3 in order to saturate a single 7950 more than likely.
Another scenario is AMD APUs, where FPS almost scales linearly based on RAM frequency because it uses system RAM as VRAM. GPUs are very memory intense, which is why GPUs have 256-384 bit memory interfaces. With an APU, the GPU on the die is restricted to the lame 64 bit memory interface we have with our system RAM.
RAM kits like these are sold to people who need them, if you don't need them, buy the lower frequency RAM. Reply

Impulses - Thursday, October 25, 2012 - linkWhat's with the cost analysis of all these high speed $150 kits? Would you actually shell out that amount of money for a run of the mill gaming/enthusiast system when there's a ton of 1600 4x4GB or even 2x8GB kits on Newegg selling for $75-85?
I've wishlisted like half a dozen G.Skill kits within that range AND with blue spreaders specifically... If I width the search there's tons more obviously, just hoping one of those goes on sale during Thanksgiving for like $50-60, even tho I'm in no dire need to upgrade from 8GB.
(and yeah, looking at blue purely for aesthetic reasons obviously!) Reply
mmstick - Saturday, October 27, 2012 - linkI would because it would cut my research rate in half. I run OpenCL GPU projects on my systems, where if I had 2400Mhz memory I could output twice as many work units with my graphics cards per day in Help Conquer Cancer. Reply

JonnyDough - Friday, October 26, 2012 - linkThat's how I feel. I used to care about the color of my computer case, etc but I realized that its more about longevity and ease of installation for me. It's nice to go with a color theme, but the extra cost each time I upgrade just isn't worth it. So now that I've matured a bit I've decided on mostly black boxes and hardware as its plentiful and price competitive. Reply

valnar - Friday, October 26, 2012 - linkMemory companies will continue to put out insanely spec'ed pieces so they get reviewed by Hardware sites, because it's the only way to get their name out there. Otherwise, memory as a whole is a pretty boring component. Why else do they also need to have interesting names and brightly colored heatsinks? Marketing at its best (or is it worst?) Reply
