Live Brum Monday
As per the plan I spent today working on Live Brum.
Much of the day was spent catching up on correspondence. The firstname.lastname@example.com inbox had got wildly out of hand but is now sorted and under control. But look, if you are waiting for a reply from me and haven't had it then please email me again as I may have missed your message. From here on in you can always expect a reply by the following Monday at the very latest.
As ever, events information that you send to firstname.lastname@example.com will continue to be dealt with as soon as possible but almost always within 24 hours.
Dealing with the Live Brum email backlog took longer than I anticipated but I did manage a few small improvements to the site today.
Digital Brum joins Live Brum
Events from Digital Brum are now also included in the main Live Brum listings. The main advantage of this change is that upcoming Digital events will be seen by a much wider audience and that feels like a good thing to me.
Live Brum sources
Each event now has a more prominent 'source' link below the title. This shows where we got the information from. This is the same as the 'more information' link over there on the left but it seems that lots of people were missing that.
Send to a friend
Send to a friend functionality has returned. After giving up the battle with the spambots in late 2009 (who at one point were submitting rubbish to that form over 10,000 times a day) I have had another go at crafting something that puts a stop to the bulk of that while keeping it easy to use. To recap: If you click on 'send to a friend' when viewing an event you get a small form slide into view so you can send that information to your friend via email.
Share event information on other sites
Until today there was also a panel called 'Bookmark' which had some increasingly out of date links. That panel now has a title of 'Post this event to' and I've updated the options to cover Twitter, Delicious, Digg, Facebook, Reddit and Stumbleupon. Along with the 'Subscribe' panel this is also now open by default.
There is now a Live Brum Uservoice Forum where you can add your own requests and vote others up and down. This is the place both to ask for new features and report things that may be broken. If you use it then I will let my Monday's be guided by what you think is most important.
There is also an ugly Feedback tab on the side of every page of Live Brum now. I promise to make that fit in a bit better next week.
That's it. Not a huge amount for my first Live Brum Monday but not nothing either.
Next week
At the top of next week's list is the first release of some WordPress widgets. These will enable you to put Live Brum listings in the sidebar of your WordPress site. A very early version of these can currently be seen in the sidebars of this very blog. They won't be finished next week but I will make them available over at developer.livebrum.co.uk for other people to start testing and playing with. Full details next Monday.

The LOYOLA MAROON No. 16 Loyola, University, New Orleans, La., Friday, March 7, 1958 Vol. XXXV 'Brainstorming' Gets BA Meet Interest By HENRY ASHER As pre-jet flyers of yesteryear used to "barnstorm" their way cross country, today's advertising men are "brainstorming" their way into the nation's top businesses and industries. . . . The technique of "brainstorming," a group thinking method, is making its way into the "creative-sun" of top level management as well as among individuals in the shop. Originated by Alex Osborn of the advertising firm of Batten, Barton, Durstme and Osborn, people in all walks of life are discovering a "gold mine between their ears. In keeping with the times the college of business administration conducted, last week, a Creative Thinking Conference in which "brain- ■ storming" was one of the topics introduced and discussed by Mr. Joseph G. Mason, creative train- Here's how it works: A problem to be solved is selected by a discussion moderator and background an it is furnished to participants in the session. Trie group should number between eight and IB depending upon the size of the organization (it could be done with only two.) Women should be used because they think differently and spur competition among the men. No less than 45 minutes and no more than an hour and a half should be devoted to any one session. The idea is simply this. The moderator states the problem, starts the session and everyone in turn states a "positive" idea on the solution of the problem as fast as it comes to mind. No criticism, discussion and no negative ideas are permitted. Ideas are written down by the secretary for review if there is a mental lag. "Hitchhiking," adding to an idea of someone else, is encouraged. Whether an idea is sound, wild, or just plain nonsense makes no difference. It's the idea that counts—the positive idea. Thar* are four basic rule* ai BBDO states 1. "Criticism is Ruled Out." (Adverse judg- ment of ideaa mutt be withheld until later.) 2. "Free Wheeling i* Welcomed." (The wilder the idea the better—it is easier to tame down than to think up.) 3. "Quantity is Wanted." (The greater the number of ideas, the more the likelihood of good ones.) 4. "Combination and Improvement are Sought." (Suggestions by others on an idea give better ideas. Combinations of ideas lead to more and better ideas.) The moderator's job is to get ideas from the group and keep things moving so as not to let conversation grow dull. He should "pre-brainstorm" the problem so that he can steer the panel in the right direction, ask leading questions and keep thinkers free and receptive. As "ignition keys" to brainstorming BBDO believes the following questions can spur group (or individual) "ideation" on problems: "Put to other uses? Adapt? Modify? Magnify? Minify? Substitute? Rearrange? Reverse? and Combine?" So if you have a problem or your organization is looking for a new idea or approach to an event, plan or problem, get the group together, pool your minds, take advantage of that "gold mine between your ears," and brainstorm your way to success. It works—try it! Marie terrier To Reign At 1958 Spring Fiesta Marie Claire Ferrier, BA senior, will reign as queen over the 1958 New Orleans Spring Fiesta which opens March 16 at Delgado Museum.Loyola students also make up the four-maid court of the fiesta. Maids are Joan Denechaud Walet, Cynthia Ann Church, Florence Lovell Mittelbronn, all A&S juniors, and Isabella Marie Livaudais, A&S freshman.

The fiesta closes March 29 with a daytime tour of homes along Esplanade Ave. and a candlelight tour of the Vieux Carre patios where ante-bellum costumed hostesses will greet the visitors. MARIE CLAIRE FERRIER (See COURT, page 2) All Day Outing Set For Orphans The evening division Social Service organization will treat 26 boys and girls from Madonna Manna Orphanage to an all-day outing in Baton Rouge this Saturday. The group will depart from the school in Marrero at 9:30 a.m. by bus, according to Harold Dearie, BSS sophomore, chairman of the outing. Thirteen members of the organization will accompany the students. In Baton Rouge the group will visit the state capitol and the Louisiana State University campus. A picnic lunch will be eaten around noon, according to Dearie. Dr. Caponigri To Give Talk On St. Thomas Dr. A. Robert Caponigri, professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, will deliver the fifth annual Aquinas Day Lecture sponsored by the Philosophy Club, Sunday at 8:15 p.m. in the Holy Name of Jesus High School Auditorium. Dr. Caponigri, a specialist in the philosophy of history and aesthetics, will lecture on "St. Thomas and the Modern Problem of History." The Aquinas Day Lecture, highlight of the annual lecture series presented by the club, is free of charge and open to the public. A member of the Notre Dame teaching staff since 1946, he is the author of three books, "History and Liberty," "Time and Idea," and "Christianity and Freedom." A native of Chicago, 111., Dr. Caponigri was educated at Loyola University there, and at the Harvard University Graduate School. He was awarded his doctorate in 1942, from the University of Chicago. From 1943 to 1946 he was an instructor in the School of Letters at the State University of lowa. During 1950-51 Dr. Caponigri studied and conducted research in Italy on a Fulbright Fellowship. He received a Rockerfeller Foundation grant for 1952-53 to continue his research at the Italian Institute for Historical Studies and for additional studies at Oxford University and the British Museum. Dr. Caponigri is also a member of the American Philosophical Association, the American Historical Society, the Medaeval Academy, the American Society for Aesthetics, the Catholic Commission for Intellectual and Cultural Affairs, and the National Selection Board of the Fulbright Program. DR. A. ROBERT CAUPONIGRI Thespians Score Another Hit By LEO McLEAN Loyola's Thespians continue their audience-pleasing run of Paul Vincent Carroll's "Shadow and Substances" today and tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. in Marquette Auditorium.The Irish drama, sprinkled with comic lines, was ably presented by an all-student cast. Beginning with an amusing presentation of situation and characters, the drama, which evolves from visions which the girl Brigid believes she sees of her namesake-saint, ends on an at-once tragic and hopeful note. Miss Larkin, blessed with a clear, interpretive and expressive voice, offered an emotion-rousing portrayal of the servant Brigid, battling against her pompous and skeptical employer Thomas Canon Skerrit, a role well filled by Monlezun.Bill Weill, M a rebel schoolmatter in the local Catholic school and author of a book which aruoses the bookburning ire of the entire community, presented another of the play's best performances. The production boasts proficient acting on the part of the other characters, played by Barbara Williams, John Wilmot, Bill Louree( Earleen Fournet, Reginald Hendry, Ronald Fonseca and LindaLinda Wilson. Difficulty in understanding tome of the line* of Mil* William*, a* the peppermint chewing niece of Canon Skerrit, and Louree, a* one of the Canon'* curate*, were among the few flaw* disturbing the opening night audience. In one of the lesser roles, Hendry turns in a hilarious performance as a newly certificated teacher who calls himself an ass, and thanks to Hendry's excellent interpretation, proves it. The play is directed by Leo C. Zinser. Sets are by Louree and lighting is handled by Don Earnest.Plan 2 Boswell Club Awards For Loyola Journalism Students To Receive Plaques of the Institute. The awards—two "scrolled" plaques—will be presented annually by Dr. Brown at The Loyola Maroon's annual staff banquet. One plaque will go to the journalism major turning in the best reporter!.!l work during the school year, while the other will go to the journalism major with the best creative writing work during the same period. Already established in the department is the Harry J. McEnerny award, a wrist watch, which is presented annually to the outstanding student of journalism. Dr. Brown and Mr. Rousseau Van Voorhies, a staff member of the Encyclopedia Brittanica here in New Orleans and also a member of the Institute, were instrumental in establishing the award here at Loyola, according to Mr. Edwin P. Fricke, journalism chairman.The Botwell Institute here in America hat it* counterpart in the Johnion Club of England, Mr. Van Voorhiea (aid. He said that the Boswell Insti- ■ tute is an international fellowship of students of the 18th century English literature especially interested in the Boswell and Johnson 15 also said that the Boswell tute is especially interested imbining conviviality with cultural pursuits. "We hope to bring into the fastmoving 20th century the 18th century way of living . . . meeting over coffee tables . . . discussing our problems . . . conversational privileges and meetings," Mr. Van Voorhies said. Formed by Johnson and Boswell in the 18th century, the BI originally attempted to Kad the best in literature and king throughout the British Dire. The Institute was started at Oxford University and Dr. Brown, a graduate of law from the English school, is carrying on the Johnson and Boswell tradition here in the United States. The local chapter of the Boswell Institute is composed of some 20 members, including James W. Dy- B Loyola librarian; the Rev. les C. Quirk, S.J., professor nglish; Dr. Brown, Mr. Van hies and others. DR. BRENDAN BROWN Faulkner Wins Metropolitan Opera Contest Barbara Faulkner, former voice student of Loyola, won the regional finals of the Metropolitan Auditions of the Air over 22 other contestants representing six states, Monday night in McAllister Auditorium. She is the fourth student of Mrs. Dorothy Hulse, chairman of the voice department, to win a Metropolitan Opera House audition. The previous winners were Charles Anthony, Audrey Schuh Redmann and Rosemary Rotolo. Recipient of the $300 regional prize, Mis* Faulkner will fly to New York Sunday to compete against eight other regional winner* in the final*. National winner will receive $300 and a possible contract with the New York Opera Houie or a scholarship to study in Europe. The 23-year-old dramatic soprano has sung various roles for the New Orleans Opera Association and the Experimental Opera Theater of America. Last December she sang a lead in "Amahl and the Night Visitors" for the New Orleans Philharmonic Symphony. Council Seeks Student Gripes Do you have a gripe? Most Loyolans do, thinks the student council, and a campaign is being launched to determine just exactly what aspects of the university need improvement. A committee chairmaned by Charles Hanemann, A&S soph, will begin its efforts this week with a poster publicity campaign aimed at evoking suggestions from the student body. The drive will reach its climax Friday when approximately 500 questionnaires will be placed in those copies of The Maroon which are distributed on the campus. The questionnaire will list a number of subjects with which the council believes students might find fault. "The students won't have to write a thing; all they'll have to do is check off those subjects which they feel the student council could improve," Hanemman said. Purpose of the questionnaire, according to Hanemann, is "to find out with specific improvements the students would like to see the council attempt to effect." Jewish Priest To Talk Here Monday Night The Rev. John M. Oesterreicher, director of the Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University, will speak Monday at 8 p.m. on "Christians and Jews" in the student lounge, according to the Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J. The address is under the auspices of the department of theology and is open to the public. A Convert to Catholicism, Father Oesterreicher was born in Austria in 1904, studied theology at the Universities of Graz and Vienna, and was ordained in 1-927. He came to the United States in 1940 after twice escaping from the German Gestapo. He is the author of "Wall* Are Crumbling: Seven Jewish Philosophers Discover Chriit," now in its third printing in this country. The book ha* been translated into Dutch and French. Formerly a research professor of sacred theology at Manhattanville College in New York, Father Oesterreicher is presently associate editor of "Worship," and a member of the Catholic Theological Society, the Catholic Biblical Association, the Catholic Association for International Peace, and the National Liturgical Conference.Purpose of his present work at Seton Hall is to foster a deeper understanding of the whole Judaeo-Christian tradition and the place Jewish people hold in the economy of salvation, according to Father Toomey. Dean, Chaplain To Attend Meet Dr. Frank J. Houghton, dean, and the Rev. John F. Keller, S.J., chaplain of the school of dentistry, will attend the annual meeting of Deans, Chaplains, and Regents of Jesuit Schools of Dentistry in Detroit, March 23, at the Statler Hotel. The Rev. Edward B. Rooney, S.J., president of the Jesuit Educational Association, will address the group. March 24-26, in Detroit, Dr. Houghton and Father Keller, along with Dr. John Pinion, associate professor of crown and bridge, will attend the annual meeting of the American Association of Dental Schools. At this meeting Dr. Pinion will participate in a panel discussion on "Crown and Bridge." Lenten Mission Drive To Have Dual Purpose nickel a day" is the slogan given by the Rev. Henry lontecino, S.J., university chaplain, for the Lenten ion Drive, being conducted now on a university-wide According to Fr. Montecino, the drive has the dual purpose of collecting money for the benefit of the Ceylon Mission, and at the same time increasing the spirit of sacrifice during the Lenten period. Since this is, " the first time the drive is being conducted on a universitywide basis, each organization on the campus was asked to do its part by "shak- signed. Members of the different organizations will collect donations each day from 11 to 2 in the quadrangle.quadrangle. A can for donations is also located near the check-out counter in the cafeteria. The drive, now in its second week, has netted $190 and will continue throughout the Lenten season. It is expected that this year's campaign will exceed all previous drives. The most successful drive to date was conducted in 1954 when $450 was collected. Last year money for the Jesuit mission was raised solely by the Student-Faculty Basketball game sponsored by the Sodalities. ATTEND AQUINAS LECTURE INSTITUTE JOURNALISM AWARDS

Spohr & Onslow: Piano Sonatas
Studio Master:
Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Romanze
Movement 3: Scherzo Trio
Movement 4: Finale: Allegretto
For all the dizzying pyrotechnics of his violin works, Spohrs was an essentially easy-going musical temperament. Written against the background of a minuet, the sonatas opening Allegro moderato eschews strenuous thematic development for a succession of leisurely variants on the opening cantabile melody, interspersed with bouts of pirouetting virtuosity. The idiom may strike us as neo-Mozartian, spicedperhaps decorated is a better wordwith harmony more consistently chromatic than in Mozart. In some of Spohrs works the chromaticism can become a cloying mannerism (Beethoven reportedly found his music too rich in dissonances). Here, though, the music retains a certain innocent freshness. But the range of modulation is enterprising, as ever with Spohr; and there is a beautiful moment in the coda where the music dips, with a sudden pianissimo, from A flat to a rich and strange F flat: a modulation to the key of the flat sixth familiar enough in late Haydn and in Beethoven, but here exquisitely timed and placed.
Titled Romanze, the slow movement is in essence a song without words. The plaintive, faintly Schubertian outer sections, in F minor, sound like a half-echo of a folk song, while the richly textured central episode, approached via a magical side-slipping modulation, is a bel canto aria re-imagined in pianistic terms. The C minor Scherzo, with its rhythmic teasing, quickfire key shifts (the second part flirts with the remoteness of E major) and quizzical pauses, seems to pay homage to both Haydn and Beethoven. Not for the only time in the sonata, the smooth, sonorous trio suggests the textures of a string quartet. Dominated by a playful theme that refuses to settle in the home key, the finale infuses country-dance rhythms with the spirit of a caprice, not least in the bold modulatory flights of the central development.

The dorm was better than the double room! This was a first for me. I men working there we're lovely but it was a bit more like a shared house than a dorm. They made me feel at home and I enjoyed the garden. It would be nicer if they got a code for the front door. It was a bit unsettling to wait on the busy street for some one open the gate.

Directions to Paint Creek Lake Wildlife Area (via mapquest)
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION Paint Creek Lake Wildlife Area is located in southwest Ohio, at the south edge of Greenfield on the Paint Creek fork and the southeast edge of Centerfield on the Rattlesnake fork of Paint Creek Lake. State Routes 138 and 753 bisect the Rattlesnake fork approximately 15 miles east of Hillsboro. The area may be reached by turning north off U.S. 50 onto State Route 753 or onto Rapid Forge Road in Ross County. The 5,090-acre wildlife area lies at the upper end of Paint Creek Lake, a flood control reservoir operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In summer, the reservoir is normally 1,170 acres with 25 miles of shoreline. During periods of heavy rainfall, the reservoir covers portions of the wildlife area that are normally dry. Paint Creek State Park, 5,934 acres, lies south of the wildlife area on both sides of the reservoir. Meadow and grain crops make up about one-third of the wildlife area. The remainder of the wildlife area is about equally divided in woodland and reverting fields of shrubs, small trees, grasses, and forbs. HISTORY AND PURPOSE Paint Creek Reservoir was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control and recreation. It was completed in 1974. Of the 9,179 acres licensed to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, 5,090 acres are managed by the Division of Wildlife for public hunting and fishing. The remainder of the area is managed by the Division of Parks and Recreation. State parks have special hunting and trapping regulations. Consult the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation, Fountain Square, Columbus, Ohio 43224 or the park manager. Wildlife area habitat management work has included development of crop rotations and field sizes to provide food and cover for upland wildlife. Wildlife habitat has been enhanced by planting trees and shrubs to establish field dividers, improving existing fencerows through selective cutting, and protecting and improving woodlands. FISH AND WILDLIFE Bobwhite quail, ring-necked pheasant, cottontail rabbit, white-tailed deer, fox and gray squirrels, and groundhogs are the major game species. Common furbearers are raccoon, opossum, muskrat, mink, weasel, skunk, red fox, and gray fox. Waterfowl are most common during migration and good numbers of wood duck's nest and rear their broods on this area each spring and summer. A variety of songbirds can be found on the area. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass, white and black crappies, bluegills, catfish, sunfish, suckers, and carp are found in the lake. The fishery has developed from the resident fish population in the main streams. Saugeye were stocked in 1982. A hydrographic fishing map (Publication 337) for Paint Creek Lake is available. HUNTING, TRAPPING, AND FISHING Paint Creek is popular for hunting rabbits and squirrels, both of which are found throughout the area. Squirrel hunting is best for gray squirrels in the larger stands of mature woodland and for fox squirrels in the smaller woodlots, along the streams, and in woody fencerows. Rabbits and groundhogs can be found throughout the area. Waterfowl hunting is available on the reservoir and the streams coming into the reservoir. Deer hunting is good throughout the area. Trapping is most productive around pond areas and along the streams running into the reservoir. Crappies and bluegills are taken around brush and in tops of fallen trees throughout the lake. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass are taken along the shoreline, around stumps, logs, and large limestone rocks. Catfish, sunfish, and carp are taken throughout the lake. Several low-level rock dams were constructed below the dam and all species are taken in this tailwater fishery. PUBLIC USE FACILITIES Several parking areas are distributed throughout the wildlife area. Two canoe launching areas are available along Rattlesnake Creek. Two boat ramps with sanitary facilities, picnic facilities, and drinking water are located on the lake. A camping area is located off Taylor Road on the east side of the lake. A pioneer farm is located on the west side of the lake. An overlook, a playground, and picnic and fishing areas are located below and around the dam area, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Further information may be obtained from the Wildlife District Five Office, 1076 Old Springfield Pike, Xenia, Ohio 45385; telephone (937) 372-9261. TURN IN A POACHER Ohio's TIP, "Turn In a Poacher," program is helping to curtail poaching throughout the state. TIP is designed to involve the public in reporting wildlife violations. Citizens who observe wildlife violations should call the TIP toll-free hotline, 1-800-POACHER.

The "Commit to Mitt" bus made a stop in Chillicothe on Sunday afternoon with golf legend Jack Nicklaus, Jane Portman, and Olympic Gold Medal winner Scott Hamilton talking to voters about why they believe Mitt Romney is the right choice for Ohio and the nation.
Jack Nicklaus spoke of his decision not being for himself, but for the future of his five children and twenty-two grandchildren. Nicklaus also spoke of standing up for what you believe and told a story about not getting involved with President Ford's campaign for a second term.
Jane Portman, wife of Senator Rob Portman, spoke of Romney being the candidate that would make a difference and turn things around and break up the partisan gridlock in Washington.
Scott Hamilton believes that Romney's experience and knowledge makes him the best candidate on election day. Hamilton was impressed with Romney's handling of the Olympic games and believes Romney "really understands everything, about business about how this country works and how this economy works."

I disagree, from when i was looking its average for a decent Z68 board (not high end). Its got a lot of USB 3.0 and sata SATA 3 (6 Gbps) ports. Although it doesnt have pci ex 3.0 its got a good power design so it probably overclocks well. The original price was ridiculous.
wondering if i need 16Gb of ram.... Ive got a little extra cash, and im thinking of making a little upgrade, but i cant think what. the 90GB SSD was a problem -> I upgraded that to a 128GB. that was really the last thing on the list of to-do's aside from more HDD capacity which is a little too expensive to even contemplate at the moment
What latency is your RAM Freedom? If it's a high latency I'd say to get some better RAM. With SB you could be looking at 2133MHz sorta speeds. Or 1600 @ C7/C6. Or maybe not lol Meh I'd still get faster RAM just to have it
its your regular 9-9-9-15 stuff. I'm sure i could tune the timings up a little more, but im really too lazy. well theres a few things i had in mind that i could do with my rig. swap out my all my 140mm fans again for some Silverstone Air penetrators. that run only 100rpm faster (total waste of money) or buy 2x5400RPM Scythe typhoons and a fan controller to replace the 1850rpm GTs on my Antec 920 cooler. (again another stupid and waste of money option as i dont even need the extra cooling) Im started thinking about possibly upgrading some peripherals but everything here doesnt need replacing and it working condition. keyboard hasnt started jamming yet and my mouse still functions well for gaming. the only upgrades i really need is the moment is a few 2TB Samsung F4s to replace a few of my current drives that have no need for super speed. so im generally looking at making my pc more power efficient. Problem with that is price of hard drives are abit OTT currently just like everywhere else. SCAN claimed to do a 1TB 7200rpm SATA III seagate barracuda for £84, but that goes upto £92/95 as soon as you clock on the website to have a look at it Not that I would actually buy a seagate drive, but i was just curious. as most places are still charging at least £120'ish for 1TB Samsung F3's. Well....£20'ish is still £20 and its £20 off so you still save money in a sense. but im waiting for prices to drop back to £40 for a 1TB
You could always buy a second optical drive, that's always useful, maybe a Blu-ray writer in case Hard drive prices refuse to come back down?
True - but again, I dont really need one at the moment. a blu-ray writer still costs about £70-80'ish on amazon. as for blank blu ray discs to write to, the 'cheaper' brands seem to be having a some write issues. and £40 for 25 discs just seems like a lot. Not a bad idea though if i wanted to offload some of the data from my pc and archive it. only problem with this is, i tend to lose my discs as I have them all over the place. ---- thats a pretty good idea actually. just thinking about it, theres a lot of stuff like old anime or music that i could just offload. and save a lot of space.
Yeah, not only will you gain the ability to watch Blu-rays on your PC, buy a cheap pack of Double layer Disks for £10-15 and it works out a lot cheaper for files you aren't regularly copying or moving around How did you get Anime in a digital Format? i struggle to find DVD copies of them, as it is, i'm irritated i can't get the soundtracks to any without importing them from Japan and paying £25 for postage
Someone to help me to flash my gigabyte 880gma usb3 to use the bulldozer chip. i will post my mobo with cpu and ram. i will pay the shipment vice versa... Or someone to have am3 chip like sempron 145 am3. I will buy it thank you
Download the 'F3' bios from here to your desktop. disconnect from the internet, Disable your firewall, right click it and set it to run as admin my understanding is that, that exe file is an automated program that will flash the board for you automatically once youve started it up - many hardware vendors do this, but for those on the more advance EFi bios system it doesnt really matter much as we can just download the bios file onto a usb stick and flash the board right from inside the bios as there are options there for us. the F3 bios should give you BD support. a lot of positive reports from other users say that they can use BD CPUs after the F3 bios flash
Thanks freedom but the problem is i forgot to flash my mobo before i sell my x4 cpu, now i've got BD chip but doesn't boot up,i don't have any chip here to boot my rig..
Ok, I kinda broke my 360 controller whilst playing FIFA 12 (wonder how that happened ) Cheapest place in UK to order one ? Preferably black please. I use it for alot of the console ports and racing games so I'm a bit screwed without it.
Subs and Dubs; Subtitles and Dubbing. @ freedom: A blu ray drive doesnt sound like a bad idea. Back up movies and keep a database or spreadsheet of whats on what disk. If your willing to spend a little get the Razer Onza its worth it if not, wireless or USB? http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/19278...rchstring=xbox 360 controller&urlrefer=search http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/19267...rchstring=xbox 360 controller&urlrefer=search
like this http://www.animecrazy.net/ i bought mine for like £10 from play.com a while ago Does the color really matter? All of my Xbox stuff is from before 2010, as i don't care what Microsoft say, i am not paying so you can fix the mistakes you made on your own consoles with your own software updates
not a lot you can do about that that. Easiest thing to do would be to hit up ebay for a cheap Sempron 140 - theres one thats currently on auction going for £13, if not then theres one on buy it now for £20. Its probably gonna cost you the same amount for you to send your mobo with the cpu cooler to someone who has the CPU to do the flashing for you and send it back so its a bit of a waste of time. Just bid for the £13 CPU and good luck.

Interactive VideoconferencingInteractive videoconferencing (IVC) is a live, two-way, interactive electronic means ofcommunication. Two or more people in different geographic locations canengage in face-to-face audio and visual exchanges using cameras,monitors, and document software.IVC in its truest sense requires high quality videoconferencing units, such as LifeSize, Tandberg, or Polycom. Another essential element to successful connections is bandwidth, which is the size of the connection between two locations. As a result of the Act 183 Grant, Bucks County Schools are now connected to a high speed network and Internet 2, which dramatically helped our ability to utilize high-bandwidth applications like videoconferencing. Advances in technology over the past few years offer other alternatives to traditional videoconferencing. Programs like iChat, Google Chat, and Skype now support videoconferencing between sites that may not have access to high speed networks of expensive videoconferencing equipment. LifeSize Equipment Resources Teachers and administrators can use interactive videoconferencing for:
Planning an IVC is very similar to planning a field trip or arranging a guest speaker. It takes long term planning (3-12 weeks, if not longer), coordination of several different schedules, funding approval, equipment and technical testing as well as curricular development and preparation. Visit the Digital Bridges website for a great explanation of roles and responsibilities. Click here for additional Getting Started Resoures Finding Content Providers Finding a quality content provider can be very difficult, simply because there is not a database where everyone is listed. Content providers also vary on two important levels: price and interactivity. There are many content providers who advertise free programs while there are other who charge upwards of $400 for a program. While the old adage of "you get what you pay for" resonates, there is no way to know the quality unless you read testimonials, recommendations, or other sources of information. Also, be aware that negotiation is not out of the question. Many content providers are willing to negotiate price especially individual experts. It doesn't hurt to ask! The second situation to be aware of is interactivity. Many content providers will advertise several levels of a videoconferencing: View only, on demand, interactive, group presentations. Make sure that you understand what will be happening during the videoconferencing in regard to the interactivity for your participants. It could be very disappointing if your students are simply watching a screen for an hour without interacting. View our Content Provider Webpage If you need any help in coordinating an IVC, do not hesitate to contact Pam Newman at firstname.lastname@example.com. |

Seems that her Venezuelan fans can't keep themselves from grabbing their favorite Disney starlet.
This past weekend, Demi Lovato fans got a little too rowdy when they spotted the singer. Despite the fact she has a large amount of security, fans still managed to get a hold of Demi.
The "Give Your Heart a Break" singer took to her Twitter to say:
"17 freaking bodyguards yesterday and I STILL got my hair pulled!!! Hahahahaha Venezuela you are INSANE!!! I love you guys"
At least she has a sense of humor about it. We are happy to hear she is okay!
She had nothing but sweet things to say about the country. She tweeted that Venezuela was "BEAUTIFUL" and "stunning." It's great that she can find the good in a hectic situation.
Gotta hand it to her, she has a CRAZY life but somehow always has a smile on her face. Good for you girl!

Scientific Name:
Thornscrub - Cape |
View all images of Thornscrub - Cape Also pictured in this image: Riparian - xeroriparian, Pachycereus pringlei, Bursera microphylla This species is present in the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's live collection. |
Thornscrub is intermediate between the desert and tropical forest biomes. The vegetation consists largely of short trees, ten to twenty feet (3-6 m) tall, and shrubs, with cacti also being common in the "New World" communities. It is generally more dense and taller than desert vegetation, and many species are thorny. Annuals and herbaceous perennials are abundant, and vines — a primarily tropical life form — are well represented. During the dry season most perennial plants are drought-deciduous (as opposed to plants of more temperate regions which are cold-deciduous). In contrast, the rainy season, though short, is moderate and dependable and the vegetation grows lush. The climate is nearly frost-free, so temperature is not limiting; the vegetation is determined by the alternating dry and wet seasons. |

Hey there! :)
Towards the end of the game, there is a cutscene with the Grand Master leaving the order quartes and a messenger arriving with news. At this point, the GM instructs a big mutant to dispose of Geralt. Thing is, as far as I can remember, I finished the game without ever meating such creature. Did I miss him, was I supposed to trigger his appearance in some way?
Thanks in advance!

Abercrombie CEO Michael Jeffries' Mile High Rules
Abercrombie and Fitch's Chief Executive Officer Michael Jeffries knows what he wants when he flies in the company's Gulfstream G550 jet.
According to a report in Bloomberg News, "Clean-shaven males had to wear a uniform of Abercrombie polo shirts, boxer briefs, flip-flops and a 'spritz' of the retailer's cologne, according to an "Aircraft Standards" manual, disclosed in an age-discrimination lawsuit brought by a former pilot. Among the 40-plus pages of detailed instructions: black gloves had to be used when handling silverware and white gloves to lay the table, the song 'Take Me Home' had to be played when passengers entered the cabin on return flights and Jeffries' dogs -- identified in the document as Ruby, Trouble and Sammy -- had different seating arrangements based on which ones were traveling."
The document of Jeffries' rules went public just as the CEO was facing criticism by stockholders of his management style. "Abercrombie's shares have erased half their value in the past year, and activist investor Ralph Whitworth is pressing for changes, according to a person familiar with the matter," the Bloomberg report continued. "While Jeffries's penchant for details helped turn Abercrombie into a global brand, the 68-year-old CEO is struggling to reverse falling same-store sales as shoppers grow weary of the fashions and risqué marketing."
The New York Times reported that the document was released as part of an age-discrimination lawsuit brought against the company by a former pilot. "The aircraft manual is part of a lawsuit filed in 2010 by Michael Stephen Bustin, who piloted the company's corporate jet from February 2008 until he was terminated in December 2009. Mr. Bustin, who is now 55, claims he was let go so that the company could hire younger pilots more in step with its corporate image. Abercrombie denied the allegations in its court filings, saying Mr. Bustin had been employed by a jet aviation company, not Abercrombie."
"According to the manual," the Times report continued, "employees had to look for fingerprints on the cabinet doors of the aircraft lavatory, make sure the bar of Jo Malone soap on the vanity did not slide out of place during takeoff, provide eight tri-folded washcloths, and make sure that toilet paper was not visible and that the end square was not folded."

These supra-aural units have a full frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz so you can hear everything. The adjustable microphone can be positioned for maximum comfort or moved out of the way when you don't need to talk, or you want to snack while still hearing what the rest of your party is doing.

Bad for musicPros: -Comfortable to wear, although I haven't used extensively Cons: -Bad sound quality Other Thoughts: I just ordered the same Logitech headphones that I had been using prior to these for a slightly higher price. I won't be using Genius again. Did you find this review helpful? |
you get what you pay forPros: Cheap price. I've had it for years, I think about 5 years and both ends of the audio still work Cons: Bad build quality, uncomfortable(not made for big heads), the mic after positioning it too much will wear and become difficult to keep a position. Mic captures EVERYTHING Did you find this review helpful? |
Does the JobPros: For the price, and the fact that I only use this once a week or so, I've given this product 4/5 eggs. The quality of the headset is not great, but I knew that going in. I've got nice gaming headsets, but this is for ventrilo/voice chat only. The mic quality is decent and the headphones are just "Okay". Overall, if you want a cheap headset for voice chat, this is it. Cons: Cheap quality, but what do you expect for such a cheap price. Did you find this review helpful? |
ok, not greatPros: Cheap. I bought 3, mic seems to work pretty good on all three. No one on the other end ever reports difficulty hearing me. Cons: I have difficulty hearing with all three. The speakers in the headphones are not very good. Also the input volume and output volume seem to share the same dial and can only be adjusted separately on your PC. Kinda makes the dial not so useful. Other Thoughts: My head is kind of big so your comfort mileage may vary. They're not too bad for the price. I'll use them till they don't work anymore but when I rebuy I'll go for something a little better. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: -cheap Cons: Mic broke after 3 months Other Thoughts: I Was rather rough with them i am surprised they lasted for the six months. over all a decent product Did you find this review helpful? |
good, cheap headphonesPros: Very good price, came in clear through the mic. Useful in games and the headphone quality isnt bad. Comfortable enough to play a game for hours without it being annoying. Cons: Probably my bad, but I thought microphone wasnt working at first until friend changed some settings on windows and had it working perfect. No problems since Other Thoughts: good deal Did you find this review helpful? |
UnimpressedPros: Sound quality is perfectly fine, as headphones they work with no problems. Cons: The mic has never worked at all. Mic DOA Other Thoughts: if the mic would have worked, it would be a very nice little headset. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good quality, Low pricePros: Great quality for the price. Wanted a headset for Skype. Works great with my desktop, excellent sound quality on both mic and headphones. Very light and very comfortable but on the delicate side. So you have to take care when using it. Cord is 6' long and has an online volume and mute control. 6' is long enough for me. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: While Skype sound quality is perfect with my desktop there is a bit of a noticeable feedback hum in the mic on my laptop. Headphones sound great on laptop though. Don't know where the mic hum is coming from as yet. Did you find this review helpful? |
SolidPros: Great sound quality. Cons: None Other Thoughts: The mic quality is better than in my Sennheiser headphones. Did you find this review helpful? |
wowPros: great little headset for $10 it works well for game chats and games light and tough I dont know how many times the cord has been caught in the chair wheels or yanked out or off the head of some absent minded gamer running for coffee or beer. if on a budget a great deal! music is even good with them but then I am half deaf so I cant tell that well. Cons: not a one for the price Other Thoughts: I got a few sets of these since I have manged to destroy others in less than a week. I am amazed these are still working very good quality Did you find this review helpful? |

Hulu Plus: One Step Closer to Cutting Cable Out Of Our Future of Television?
It's been in the works for so long it's hardly a surprise, but today Hulu announced that their subscription service is finally happening. Called Hulu Plus, it offers a "season pass" to current shows on ABC, NBC and Fox, as well as an extensive episode backlog, all streamable to a multitude of devices including your game console, mobile phone, iPad or web-connected TV. It costs $10 a month. But can I cut out my cable yet?
I dream of the day when I can cancel my cable service. Don't you? We pay for hundreds of channels, the majority of which we never watch. The DVR always sucks. Customer service is abysmal. The one company we must pay is pre-determined according to where we live. The list goes on.
It's always been my dream to simply pay for the dozen or so channels I watch frequently and receive ONLY THOSE. Of course, that model is directly opposed to how cable companies make money, by charging all of these superfluous channels for the privilege of being piped into my living room and never watched. So I'm certainly not holding my breath for my ESPN/Comedy Central/HBO/Food Network/Bravo/History Channel/the networks dream package.
But the pieces are starting to come together. Netflix streaming is great for movies and TV shows, and discs in the mail work for what's not available instantly (Hulu Plus will also carry previous seasons of the new series it hosts). You can pull in the networks and local public channels for free with an antenna to pick up over-the-air digital HD broadcasts. ESPN offers live streaming of several things, including this month's World Cup and Wimbledon, on its ESPN3 website (which only works if you have an ISP that's made a deal with ESPN to carry it , though). And now with Hulu Plus, you wouldn't need to BitTorrent every new episode of your network favorites/guilty pleasures. Comedy Central has dropped out, though, which is a shame; no Colbert or Stewart.
A bonus is that the service is taking Netflix's approach to interoperability--the plan is to make it available on just about any gadget with a nice screen and a connection to the internet. That includes web-connected TVs and Blu-ray players, game consoles, set-top boxes, and your iPhone, iPad or other smartphone via mobile apps. Pretty cool.
A downside is that even though you're paying $10 a month, you still have to watch ads. And the as yet paltry list of partners--I watch a few shows on NBC, Fox and ABC regularly, but not many. Plus, no live streaming of anything--if you're cutting the cord, you'll have to rely on what's available on the networks via an antenna for the last few events we all watch together live, like the Super Bowl or the Oscars.
But I'm keeping the dream alive, that one day I won't have a TV that receives so many ludicrous unwatched channels, and I can quit Time Warner while still paying for the stuff I actually want to watch. Services like this mean we're getting close, so I'm not giving up hope.

Yeah but it's no good for the deaf. Not a single device, including the fabled ipad has closed captioning for the deaf. This should be illegal. The deaf are being left out and it's a violation of the ADA laws. No if and or buts about it. It's been said a few shows can be captioned but show me a single one anywhere on the web!! All lip service you jerks. All you hearing people are jerks!
A bunch of us have already cut out cable television because we can get hulu for free on our computers. Those of us who have aren't going to pay a monthly subscription fee and watch ads. I've been perfectly content to watch 24, Heroes, Dollhouse, Glee, and V online as the episodes come out (not broadcast live, but oh well) and then get the DVD sets later, and the comments over at MDN have indicated that other people feel the same. And don't forget that AT&T recently killed their unlimited 3G data plans. Hitting us with both a subscription fee and ads will tank.
Dear MIP,
Just turn on the hearing-impared caption device in the Flash player. Not all shows are captioned–but I often prefer captions when I don't want a lot of sound. Even the newest Adobe flash player is wonky—you'll probably need to update your flash player too. I won't be a HULU subscriber because I hate using Flash. It crashes early and often and forces you to rewatch all the commercials again after a crash.
MIP: Name-calling is not a useful tactic when it's clearly a gearhead error. Better use of time would be to brush up on your computer skills. Calling all hearing-enabled people jerks is pretty stupid. Invest in some positive computer and nettiquette skills. It will go further. That's not lip-service.

I never do this, but this needs to be responded to...
You have no idea what you are talking about. I work in the deaf and hard of hearing community and one of the biggest complaints that I hear at gatherings is that practically no service offers captioning. This is completely true. You can't just simply "turn on the hearing-impaired caption device" if the distributer/program doesn't caption the video.
There are a few videos on YouTube that are captioned, sure, but those are so few and far between that it is ridiculous (even when they list it, half the time it doesn't work and I have the latest software). Hulu only captions a FEW of their programs (anything marked CC obviously), but that doesn't mean that everything that someone wants to watch is made accessible for them. Netflix also doesn't caption video on its Watch Instantly software.
It costs money to caption things. Then money, again, to transfer that info into a new medium. These are situations that either the industry is not bothering with or is quietly complacent with. Name calling is not ok, but don't tell them that it is their fault when the systems exclude them. You might as well say "just try listening to the show instead of being deaf." You assume that this person doesn't have computer skills. How stupid are you? The deaf/hard of hearing community adopted the internet readily because it finally allowed them communication in a world that pushed them aside.
You're making assumptions, how about I assume that you are not only hearing (as you mentioned), but have never even known someone who is deaf? You use captions as a novelty, but it is this community's only way to access the world you enjoy freely. MIP has every right to be frustrated and upset by this.
Most of the hostility I've experienced surrounding the deaf community has been projected out of it, towards everyone else who had the gall to be born with one more sense than them. They lash out at people who have nothing to do with their situation, they cuss people out and sign hateful things to people who they assume can't read what they're signing, and they cloister themselves into little exclusionary deaf groups that cultivate an us versus them attitude. I've even frequently witnessed them abusing the people who work in deaf services. I've known several people who worked in industries that served deaf needs, and while all of them were enthusiastic about getting into them, all of them got burnt by the community. So I guess what saying is: try curbing the accusations and hostility for a change, and maybe, just maybe, your demands might get met.
I ditched cable long ago. I was paying $180.00 a month for every channel and never found anything to watch. I spent more time searching through the channels than watching TV.
I built a computer to hook up to the wide screen and stream netflix and hulu directly to the TV.
I use an antanna on the roof like the old days and get beautiful high def TV from the broadcast channels.
I enjoyed catching the TV shows on Hulu rather than catch them when they aired live. I will miss that but am not going to pay Hulu as not enough was on there to be worth it. I don't know why they don't just make a deal with the networks to provide the broadcast on instant streaming with commercials and all, just as it aired and get commercial revenue for it.
I love Netfilx it is awesome. I will never go back to Cable or satellite.
Wow, 10 bucks a month for a SMALL selection of shows.
Maybe if you could pick your spectrum from the currently available basic cable shows, it would be a little interesting.
The problem as I see it, is that there is just darn little available. Hundreds of channels, most of which repeat a few dismal shows all day long -- or all week long.
I believe we were discussing Hulu here, and MIP quite erroneously pointed out that Hulu had no CC programming. MIP writes: "Yeah but it's [Hulu] no good for the deaf."
I looked at lists of dozens of Hulu programming I regularly watch and I found only one US program that was not CC. British TV fared worse, for sure. But Hulu carries only a handful of UK programming.
deebirs, you wrote "that practically no service offers captioning." Well, good news—Hulu does offer closed captioning on all the major prime time programs I checked. A reminder: we were discussing Hulu here, not YouTube, etc.
I suggested that MIP turn on the CC on Hulu. There's a little CC button in the menu bar. You just click on it. Flash was recently upgraded—and if MIP assumed that Hulu did not carry CC TV, then, computer skills are indeed suspect. Using this column as a general platform for unwarranted name-calling is pointless and, well, stupid.
This is not forum for hearing impaired! Thank you
Wow that said I ditched my cable service two months ago
Because of the bad service, rate increases whenever they felt like without warning and ever changing monthly due date
a cable bill that only a legal team could read 10 or 11 items I was being charged for that cable no longer charges a flat rate for basic service. with all extra supposed taxes and fees I could not tell what I was paying for good by Comcast and good by broadstripe cable "FOREVER"
The cable companies have become a joke for their customer service and their out of control pricing
go hulu
Here in Canada I've heard that the cable guys are moving in as internet TV 'providers'. You can bet that there will be HD, CC, and a whole lot of other stuff that will come in 'packages' that you will PAY for, much like the current cable offerings. I recently dumped cable and went strictly DSL and have watched as channels are feverishly improving web content and streaming. CBC is streaming the World Cup via Rogers Cable and looks pretty good. All just a test though, I think.
MIP, i am hard of hearing, and assuming via your post that you are too I was wondering if your hearing loss was by any chance of the sensorineural variety? As in a nerve, cochlear, or other inner ear problem? If so, e-mail me and i may have something for you to look at in terms of fixing your hearing problem definitively.
Also, Deaf people are more disabled than most people realize. Because you are constantly bombarded by sound, you take for granted all of the sensory input one can receive from sounds. these little things add up to a severe disability. For instance, deaf people have no way to communicate in a business setting, ie. meetings, or even in more casual settings with people that dont know sign language. Their main means of communication are textual, ie. internet, text messages, and books. It is not too great of a leap to say that deaf people are even more disabled than blind people, because the only thing blind people are certainly barred from doing is driving.
Now that i have succeded in ranting way more than i planned too, i would like to get back on topic. The advent of the internet as a means of replacing cable television is a rapidly expanding enterprise. However, as any enterprise, it will soon be bogged down by the same problem experienced in other media venues: greed. the greed of the media corporations stops them from providing an enjoyable experience. So enjoy a $10, semi-commercial free service while you can. Soon enough, it will be back to the same old problems.
@MIP. Nope, all we "hearing people" are not jerks.
I'm on this article because I've been trying to find out if Roku or Hulu or Netflix have some way to determine how much content has closed captioning.
That is something that I'm sure WILL be available at some point, but isn't yet. There are a LOT of people out there that want closed captions. As our population ages, I'm sure there will be an even greater demand.
I'm just guessing, but I think the technical challenge with getting closed captioning into streaming video is that (I think) the closed captioning data is put in the blanking interval that old analog TV's used. Modern digital streaming video wouldn't have a need for the blanking interval. As such, adding the closed captioning to a digital stream would involve another method of inserting the captioning. Just a guess.

Grand Funk Railroad gets this kinda stigma as well with "We're An American Band", "Some Kind of Wonderful", and their cover of "The Loco-motion". Sounds almost nothing like them for the most part.
Only other one I kinda throw into this is Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (not really a bad song, but sounds nothing like their pseudo-R.E.M. sound they usually have).
After Fall quarter is over, I will officially be able to DJ for KDVS, UC Davis's college radio station. It's one of the few college radio stations that isn't bound by university regulations, has the second biggest music or vinyl collection (I forget which) on the west coast, and has hosted local shows from !!!, Death Grips, Head and the Heart, and a bunch of other great bands. I'll let you guys know when my session is on, can't wait.

In my hiatus, I've discovered that Aphex Twin and GY!BE are freaking awesome bands.
We need sludgey and droney and stonery metal:
Sunn O)))
Electric Wizard
Cult of Luna
I realized that GY!BE is local and their latest album references local political/social events of the latest spring.
It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now.
I haven't heard the new GY!BE album yet. I really need to get on doing that soon.

Neither have I.
I can't think of a non-metal album I listened to from this year, besides Van Halen. I should definitely fix that.

I bought three pillows, one for each of my kids. We had one break the first day. We are changing out the batteries at least every other night. I did by rechargeable batteries for each of the pillows. I did try regular batteries to make sure that the rechargeable batteries are not at fault. These pillows are a great idea, and wonderful when they are working. However, they seem to be more work than they are worth.

David, do you think the increase in the use of anamorphic recently is because of the more "organic" look you get from that glass when used with digital cameras, or maybe because the sensors are faster and so it's easier to use slower lenses? Or do you think it's just an aesthetic "wave"?
(not complaining about it, though, if I could I'd shoot pretty much everything in anamorphic)
