The Kid is Alright: Randal Flowers Wins His Second WPT Title
Level 30: 80,000-160,000, 15,000 ante
For most 22 year-olds, the highlight of their young lives is graduating from college or moving into your first apartment by yourself. For Randal Flowers, the marquee moments of his life so far are not graduations, first jobs, or other standard milestones. The online poker pro from Greenville, North Carolina can instead hold up not one, but two prestigious records that will likely hold up for the foreseeable future.
Prior to the start of the final table, Flowers already held the record for youngest WPT winner in the tour's nine-season history. At just 20 years-old, Flowers took down the WPT Barcelona event, besting Nick Schulman for the age record and setting a tough benchmark for future poker whiz kids to best.
Now, if an online poker wunderkind wants to one-up Flowers, they are going to have to pick up not one, but two titles and do it in short order. Flowers, better known to his friends and fellow online poker players as RandALLin, picked up title number two at Festa on Wednesday, putting him in the company of players like Cornel Cimpan, Daniel Negreanu, Erick Lindgren, Freddy Deeb, Michael Mizrachi, and Jonathan Little.
When the final table began, Flowers held a tiny chip lead, but it didn't take too long for Flowers' stack to start growing. It was Michael Benvenuti who dispatched with Skip Wilson in 6th place when Wilson ran top pair into Benvenuti's overpair of queens, but from that point forward, it was Flowers in the driver's seat.
Flowers eliminated all of his final four opponents. First, he took on Legends of Poker winner Andy Frankenberger in fifth place when Frankenberger shoved with pocket fives and Flowers called him with pocket tens. While Frankenberger exited earlier than he would have liked, his fifth place finish gives him a nice lead early in the WPT Season IX Player of the Year race.
Following Frankenberger's fall, Flowers faced off with Jason Koon in a massive cooler of a pot. Both players rivered straights and got it all-in. Unfortunately for Koon, his nine-high straight couldn't best Flowers' jack-high straight, so Koon was out in fourth.
Those two knockouts gave Flowers a massive chip lead, so much so, that doubling up Noah Schwartz during three-handed play only put a tiny dent in Flowers' pile. Flowers seemed so worse for the wear either, turning around and eliminating Schwartz just a few hands later with AQ to Schwartz's KQ.
That left just Benvenuti standing in the way of Flowers and his second title. Flowers held a substantial chip lead at the outset of heads-up play, Benvenuti's stack was getting short, so it was no wonder that it took a little over a dozen hands before they got it all-in on a flop of 965 flop with Benvenuti holding a big draw with Q7. Flowers showed top pair with 39 and, after the turn and river came 4 then A, Flowers officially became the youngest two-time WPT winner ever.
Here are the final table results from the Season IX Festa al Lago Main Event:
1st: Randal Flowers - $831,500
2nd: Michael Benvenuti - $564,200
3rd: Noah Schwartz - $344,968
4th: Jason Koon - $225,680
5th: Andy Frankenberger - $161,200
6th: Skip Wilson- $112,840

Hand #96: Randal Flowers Wins WPT Festa al Lago! ($831,500)
Level 30: 80,000-160,000, 15,000 ante
Flowers raises to 330,000, and Benvenuti calls. The flop comes 965, Benvenuti checks, Flowers bets 420,000, and Benvenuti moves all in.
Flowers pauses for a second or two and says, "I call."
Benvenuti shows Q7 for a flush draw, gutshot straight draw, with an overcard, and Flowers turns over 93 for top pair. Benvenuti needs to improve to stay alive.
The turn card is the 4, and Benvenuti catches additional outs with an open-ended straight draw. One side of the room starts chanting, "Rand-all! Rand-all! Rand-all!"
The river card is the A, and Randall Flowers wins the pot -- and the tournament -- with a pair of nines. Flowers says, "So awesome! I get to hold up nine-three offsuit!" Flowers is referring to his winner's photo, which will be taken in a few minutes.
Michael Benvenuti finishes as the runner-up, earning $564,200 for second place.
Randal Flowers win the 2010 WPT Festa al Lago at Bellagio, earning $831,500, which includes his $25,500 entry into the season-ending WPT World Championship. Flowers also receives a WPT bracelet and a Bellagio bracelet.
This is the second WPT title for Randal Flowers, who also won the WPT Spanish Championship last season at the age of 20, which made him the youngest WPT champion in history. Now he is the youngest player in history (22 years old) with multiple WPT titles.
Congratulations, Randal Flowers!

Vivek Rajkumar Makes a Grand Entrance
Level 30: 80,000-160,000, 15,000 ante
Vivek Rajkumar walks into the Fontana Lounge and Randal Flowers' rail bursts into cheers and applause.
"Vivek's here," they yell and cheer. Rajkumar makes his way over to their row of chairs. First, he chest bumps with Andrew Lichtenbergerger. Then, he bumps elbows with Mike Watson. From there, rajkumar walks down a row of seven people, doling out high fives to all of them before taking his seat next to Shaun Deeb.

John Unger And His Dog Schoep.
John Unger and his 19-year-old dog Schoep from Bayfield, Wisconsin have stolen many hearts with one photograph taken by Hannah Hudson. John rescued Schoep when he was just 8 weeks old and the two have been best friends since. Schoep now suffers from severe arthritis in his legs and it hurts so bad that Schoep cannot sleep, but John has figured out a way to ease his best friend's pain. John takes Schoep to the waters of Lake Superior and holds him until he falls asleep, sometimes the two stay in the water for hours. Hannah Hudson snapped a picture of the two and after sharing the picture on Facebook it has been liked over 300,000 times and shared more than 200,000 times. Since the image went viral John has received enough donations to treat Schoeps arthritis. Up to date information on Schoep's surgery is available on the Bay Area Animal Hospital's website and on this Facebook page dedicated to John and Schoep.

If I had any respect for you, even a little. I might be upset. Until I find a reason to have any respect for you, I still won't. You are and the reason I call you,Laurel and Hardy.. Actually three reasons: you think you are extremely funny which you ain't by a long shot.2) I enjoy envisioning you bopping Laurel's head with the bowler all the time and three, you are so full of your own self importance and worth, you remind me of Hardy as the original Hardy seemed to be on the screen.. and I don't run to Scot. I don't even know where the button is. Running to Scot is more up your line.

Has jamie ever posted a link to back up his wild claims, or does he just sit around demanding that other people spoon feed him?
He gives trust fund babies a bad name.
The reason the "compromise" of "free" service works is actuarial. Health plans that deny contraceptive services face greater medical costs and thus should cost the employers more. But, if all the plans simply price their plans at the same lower rate and just plain include contraceptive services for all the plans those services are "free" because they are not paid directly but rather by expense avoidance.
In a deep and profound way, it's not a compromise because it's the same thing under different terms. But these terms are more accurate than the Roman Catholic Church's term that they were being forced to "pay" for contraceptive services when in fact they were avoiding the higher cost of denying those services.
Clear as mud?
We had warrd, then glenn now lbj5 now you circling jamie like a pack of wolves trying and cut out the weak, The truth is your all desperate to "get" someone but in reality its pathetic and you all look small and petty.
You have not done anything except jump up and down and rant yet somehow you believe your a Mental Giant..
I can only speak for myself here but when you start laying out well thought out arguments without name calling is when i take you serious .
So far you have not earned your bones and are resorting to piling on
If Warrd and Jamie go at it I say nothing as they egg each other on. The rest of you are Pathetic.
By the way WTF are you talking about slapping around a 3 year old and feeling good about it? Is that how you teach 3 year olds?
Hey I'll mention one who knows me and who is liberal enough to pass muster with you. Why don't you ask him Laurel? Try Ian first, you should note we many not agree with everything on every subject but that doesn't mean we are not friends and that I have no sense of humor.Actually renaming you Laurel is pretty funny. Firstly. it more than fits you.
Bobbys I do not consider me a three year old..How else could I have a squad such as you mentioned in groups or by 2s to go after me? I think I hold my own against them quite well.
It was a simple question: Does Jamie ever provide links for any of the stuff he says?
He demands that other people provide links for him.
He gets upset if people don't provide the links that he demands.
But how often does he provide links?
I'll explain. It works like this: Obama announces that heath insurance will have to cover birth control, with exceptions for churches. The Catholic bishops go ballistic, and call down the curses on heaven on the vile heretic. Now understand that the bishops are to the right of most other Catholic organizations on this issue, and far, far to the right of almost all Catholic women who are young enough to get pregnant. A considerable majority of the country approves of Obama's decision - about 65-35 depending on the poll, including a sizable majority of Catholics. The only major group that doesn't approve is white evangelicals, who mostly think Obama's the Antichrist anyway and would never vote for him.When is a compromise not a compromise. When you can tell an employer that they are no longer required to include birth control in their health plan, but their health plan must still offer it for free. Isn't this effectively the same, we are just playing with the words a little. Maybe they are just trying to insulate themselves from an easy Supreme Court Challenge, but I don't really see a "compromise" in this. Can someone please explain to me how this is a compromise?
It being an election year in the middle of a hard-fought Republican contest for the nomination, and the Republicans engaged in a "more-reactionary-than-thou" race to the far right, the predictable thing happens; they all pick this up as a convenient stick to beat Obama. Santorum, the truest of the True Believers, who doesn't support birth control at all and has a singular talent for putting things in the most divisive way possible, says this could lead to the guillotine (yes, he really did). Gingrich, who's desperate to revive his campaign, bloviates even harder. Romney, who thought he would have the nomination sewn up and be starting his pivot back to the center about now, rolls his eyes at the idiots on the far right, figures kissing one more toad is a small price to pay for a shot at the presidency, and rants about how this is the death of religious freedom.
By now people are beginning to take notice. It's all over the news. Young women (and some not so young) are saying "WTH!?" The Republicans want to take away birth control coverage? " And the Catholic Bishops and Marco Rubio oblige them by claiming that the religious exemption should cover any employer who has any moral objection, even a Taco Bell (yes, they said that), or that birth control shouldn't ever be covered . Obama waits. The rhetoric escalates. Obama waits some more. Almost all young women, and quite a few young men, start to wonder about the sanity of Republicans.
So yesterday Obama announces a compromise which won't force any religious institution to pay for birth control coverage - but in its effect on real women wanting birth control, is exactly the same as the previous policy. Insurance companies love it, because covering contraception saves them money. (Birth control is much cheaper than abortions or babies.) The halfway reasonable Catholic Organizations - Catholics United, the Catholic Heath Association, and well as NARAL and Planned Parenthood, all think it's fine. The Catholic Bishops fulminate (I think they must have several courses on fulminating in seminary). Anyone who's really only concerned about religious organizations having to pay for birth control can applaud it - and those who object are now exposed as really wanting to restrict access to birth control, a highly unpopular position.
And the end result is access to birth control for just about everybody, and a big political win for Obama. The Republicans have made themselves look like troglodytes. You'd think that somebody would have realized that opposing birth control, in 2012 fer chrissake, is not a winning issue. Every woman under 50 in the US will remember in November that the Republicans want to take away her birth control coverage. If the right wing had any sense at all, they'd realize they've been completely outmaneuvered and change the subject - but of course, they won't. It's another example of Republcan suicide by ever-increasing extremism.

well said Keith. Sums it right up.
Politics is every bit a game of chess. Amazing to me how often 'the players' don't realize you have to know what you're going to do at least five plays out (and how your opponent is going to move, as well). Big disappointment; we need to elect more chess players!
There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....
Judge, it wouldn't surprise me at all if President Obama just finished up his own 'five play' game to Checkmate.

lj, my good man, it is the responsibility of the original poster to supply a link. just everyone has to do his work for him right? I don't think so. My responsibility is to my linking what I post. I know that taking responsibility is a new concept for you but..
Nice piece, Keith. Only in this day and age I would submit that instead of "WTH", women said "WTF".

First there was one, then two, now three and people call me a three year old. Fine I must be a smart one at only three, considering the opposition..
Providing a link is a courtesy.
Being able to think and find information for yourself is a virtue.
Just because you have grown accustomed to other people spoon feeding information to you does not mean they are obligated to serve you.
It is still your responsibility to make sure you are well informed.
Families needing food stamps is a failure of Capitalism: Those families not starving is a success of government
I'd say: Article 1, Section 8: 'To provide for the general welfare....'
The Necessary and Proper clause speaks, rather vaguely, of powers vested in any "Department or Officer."
There is an implicit acknowledgment that there are functions and duties not fully specified in the Constitution, but rather left to Congress and the president to flesh out.
I believe the vagueness of the powers of Congress is deliberate. (Only about 18 are actually stated). The intent of the constitution was never to make all of our laws upfront, but rather to create a system for the centuries in which new laws could be created as needed.
The framers gave Congress broad (but not unlimited) power to create nearly any law that they wanted. Why? Because Congress represents the People... and the framers of the constitution believed that the people should have power. To limit Congress would be to limit the power of the people.
Restricting the power of the nation to just the things mentioned by a few men in 1787 would be like appointing themselves Kings for Eternity. They didn't want that, but rather wanted the people (through their representatives) to have that authority.

Among the things I get tired of from the right is their high praise for the job the military did in the two wars Bush got us into while complaining that Clinton had so dimished it that it couldn't function. That and the "Government can't create jobs" connected to, "elect me and I'll create jobs."
And people take them seriously?

Very nice post.
I'd like to add to it the question of when is a business of any kind a person. The constitution gives each of us, as individual people, the right to practice our religion. Someone said, "I'll believe a corporation is a purpose when one gets locked up." I think that applies to churches. The consitution gives the right of freedom of religion to the people, not the church. Any business that employs people should follow all the same labor laws any other business is required to follow.
The Church has every right to preach that birth control is wrong, but denying access goes far beyond preaching. It is denying the individual the very "free will" the Church says God gives us.
Families needing food stamps is a failure of Capitalism: Those families not starving is a success of government
Total nonsense. The employee chooses to work there because he needs a job. All employers should be required to comply with all labor law, which this is. Birth control is expensive, but it's cheaper than pregnancy, which will result from lack of birth control.
More birth control leads to fewer abortions and fewer kids raised at taxpayer expense.
Why is a church any more a "person" than is GE?

i'll speak for myself
jamie started in on me and i responded to his condescending and dismissive attacks, he has passive aggression down to a science
as far as his being ganged up on, it's more a case of his attacks on those individually and collectively, ie the laural and hardy attack
first look to jamie for the root of the problem
I think I've found our fundamental difference.
You think the Constitution is "statist," but the Founding Fathers intended it to empower the people.
The core idea of the Constitution is to give people the power (through their elected representatives) to make laws.
The real "statist" argument would be if we said the people's representatives were powerless.
Even Norman posts a link usually when most of what he posts is from Huffypoop and most people know that this is usually his source. But spin away, find your excuses for not putting in links. It's okay if you are too lazy to do so or excpect others to do that themselves. It's actually a courtesy but no matter. Have a good day cheers.
That's what you would like it to be. The concept here is actually between the insurance company and the insured. The right of freedom of religion in the constitution is a right of the people. The people can choose what religion to belong to and the extent to which they choose to practice its dictates.
What laws that our society has in place would you allow churches or their affiliates to ignore. Minimum wage? If birth control is available via your health insurance, you still have the perfect right NOT to use it based on YOUR religious convictions. You cannot, however, force YOUR religious convictions on your employees or your church members.
This issue is not as complex as many would have you believe. It has been resolved by doing what I believe Obama always intended to do. The health insurance carrier actually prefers, I'd think, to cover birth control as, long term, it saves them money. In the meanwhile it has shown the women of America where the right stands on their health issues; shown a very bright light on a subject that might have stayed in the shadows. And the republicans are on the wrong side of this issue.
Someone made a comment yesterday that Santorum woulod be a perfect president; in the 13th century. I think that makes the point perfectly.
The right is simply against individual rights: they would reinstate DADT. They still oppose same sex marriage. They oppose contraception. They oppose the right to abort a pregnancy. They also oppose help for the single mom. They oppose Social Security and Medicare. They want to retroactively change the requirements for registering to vote.
In spite of the widely announced fear, Obama has not come after anyone's guns. Or any other right I can think of. The "smaller, less intrusive" government the Republicans keep touting sounds like a real nightmare to me.

Well, "Judge", the real judges have disagreed with you for the better part of a century. Like it or not, your very narrow interpretation of the powers of the federal government is not the one we operate under.
However, the point here is not the power of the federal government; that's merely a distracting tactic, quickly abandoned with the governmental is doing something that those on the right approve of. The point is that there are religious groups which want to restrict access to birth control.

Sure! But I'm starting with the basics. Let him work up to that. Personally, I use "copy" and "paste" on my right-click button. I hav e an aversion to too much "control".
I just posted this, but I'll do it again directly to you to improve your chance of reading it.
If you have something on screen, be it an article or a video, you can click on the link that is open, that is the article or video, and it will highlight itself. Then hit control and "c" at the same time. When you come back to post here, hit control and "v" at the same time and the link will post. If it is a youtube video, you can first click on the little film strip (two to the left of the ABC check mark at the extreme right) and it will let you put your link into an imbed form.
I hope that is clear.

Telephone center.
Named for a poem by the great liberator, Simón Bolívar, and located in his house that is a historical monument, the restaurant serves comida típica (traditional Ecuadorian food) in a dimly lit, antique atmosphere. The hostess of many years is a bit on the eccentric side.
Inside the beautifully restored, 16th-century convent of the Conceptas nuns, Riobamba's Museo de Arte Religioso houses one of the country's finest collections of 17th- and 18th-century religious art. Once upon a time, many upper-class girls were sent to this convent for confined education within its walls.
Parque Acuático Los Elenes has swimming pools fed by natural mineral springs. The water is quite cool (22°C or 72°F) and the views of Tungurahua and El Altar are marvelous.
Post office.
The ladies hawking hornado (whole roast pig) put on a pretty hard sell, yelling out for your attention and offering samples. If you can stand the pressure and you're up for dining in a (very sanitary) atmosphere of flayed Wilburs, then the market is fun and interesting. The pork is superfresh. Saturdays are busiest.
Internet access.
The handsome, tree-filled Parque Maldonado is flanked by Riobamba's cathedral on the northeastern side.
West of downtown, near Duchicela; get information and pay entry fees to Parque Nacional Sangay here.
Dozens of different kinds of medium-thick-crust pizzas are prepared before your eyes in Baggio's wood oven. They wouldn't make an Italian drool, but this corner pizzeria spins out a satisfying pie and the oven keeps the whole place nice and toasty.
Police station.
Tentadero near Ángel Leon is the town's hottest (both in terms of popularity and temperature) discoteca, spinning electronica and salsa well into the night.
For buses to the Oriente, you have to go to the Terminal Oriental , northeast of downtown. The direct road between Riobamba and Baños has been closed since 2006; although it is open as far as Penipe, you'll need to go to Ambato to transfer to Baños. Inquire locally about the road's current condition.
A pioneer in Ecuadorian mountaineering, and owner of Veloz Coronado Expeditions , Enrique Veloz is practically a historical personage in Ecuador. He and his sons are both certified with ASEGUIM (Asociación Ecuatoriana de Guias de Montaña; Ecuadorian Mountain Guides Association), and Veloz himself has climbed Chimborazo more than 500 times.
Bank with ATM.
Bank with ATM.
Like most Chinese food in Ecuador, it's a little heavy on the grease, but the lovely Chinese family that runs this chifa (Chinese restaurant) serves large portions with plenty of fresh vegetables and seafood.
The cornerstone of Riobamba's nightlife, San Valentin is a lively place, great for both eating and socializing. Order at the counter (pizza, hamburgers or Tex Mex) and eat at the tables.
The only place with handicrafts is Parque de la Concepción . As you're walking around, keep your eyes peeled for locally made shigras (small string bags), tagua -nut carvings, and totora straw baskets and mats woven by the indigenous Colta from the reeds lining the shores of nearby Laguna de Colta.
Serving absolutely perfect coffees, cappuccinos and other caffeinated beverages, this narrow café tucked into a side street also has pressed sandwiches and cheese plates. It really is perfect if you're looking for a place to chill alone or chat with a friend.

Jesse Wilford Reno Born 1861 - 1947 Endless Conveyor or Elevator Patent #: 470,918
Inducted 2007
Jesse Reno is one of several individuals credited with the beginnings of the
modern escalator. Inventor Bio Born in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, Reno obtained degrees in mining and metallurgical engineering from Lehigh University. In 1892, he invented a conveyor belt set at an incline of 25 degrees. The planks of the conveyor belt were metal with a serrated surface, much like the steps of today's escalator. The design allowed for a smooth transition between the belt and the landings by combining serrated planks with a set of comb-like teeth at the top and bottom landings. A handrail that moved with the conveyor belt provided the passenger with an added sense of security. Reno also suggested a use for his device that is now standard: using one escalator to transport people up and another to bring people back down.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Earth at night looks more beautiful than it ever has before in these incredible new images from NASA's Suomi NPP satellite.
These super-high-resolution images, made possible by a new type of infrared sensor on the satellite, were revealed here at the American Geophysical Union conference Dec. 5.
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite has a "day-night band" that can detect natural and man-made light with unprecedented resolution and clarity. It can resolve everything from the nocturnal glow of the atmosphere to the light of a single boat at sea. It can detect auroras, wildfires, the reflection of moon and star light off clouds and ice and the lights alongside highways. The sensor has six times better spatial resolution and 250 times better resolution of lighting levels than anything that came before it.
The VIIRS instrument works by scanning in 22 different wavelength bands. For each pixel, it uses a low-, medium- or high-gain mode to accurately depict the light from each source. Low-light signals are amplified and bright lights are kept from being over-saturated.
The data from the Suomi satellite is freely available to the public within hours, providing the first look at the Earth at night for most scientists. Previously, the U.S. Air Force had a suite of night-time satellites with low-light sensors, but the data wasn't nearly as good, was mostly classified, and was available only to a few scientists.
This image is a composite of data taken by the VIIRS instrument aboard the Suomi NPP satellite in April and October 2012.

Article by Indian Hotel Review
Goa is a paradise on earth for all kinds of people. Once you have found the right kind of Goa hotel and your comforts are looked after, there is little that you cannot obtain from Goa by way of tourism, art, culture, religion, water sports, architecture and much else besides these attractions. It is difficult to believe that Goa is India's smallest state when you consider its area and the fourth smallest when you consider its population. Located on the Konkan coast of India, Panaji is the state's capital while Vasco da Gama is its largest city. There is a strong flavour of Portuguese culture throughout the state and this is what heightens your vacation's pleasures during your stay in the classic Goa beach resort that is located at Aguada barely minutes away from the sea.
During your stay in the beautiful Goa hotel you will be struck with what all is on offer in this state to which large numbers of both international and domestic tourists flock each year. Besides the clear imprint left behind by the Portuguese during their 450 years of stay with its consequent influence of the Latin invasion, Goa has many more charms. Goa is renowned for its beaches and places of worship as well as world heritage architecture such as the Bom Jesus Basilica. When you step out of the Goa beach resort you can take a closer look at the flora and fauna due to the state's location on the Western Ghats range that is a biodiversity hotspot. Take a trip to the Fontainhas in Panaji that is now declared a cultural quarter and showcases the life and culture and architecture of the state of Goa. Visit Goa during the New Year's Celebrations if you can and attend the Goan Carnival to enjoy the true customs of the state.
The goa beach resort is mystical just as the state is. It is in a villa that is built in the true traditions of English style construction. It has all the modern amenities and from the hotel you have a spectacular panoramic view of the Indian Ocean. The villa has four beautiful and very comfortable bedrooms with a private lounge on the first floor and a common sitting room on the ground floor. The Goa hotel has plenty of dining space and a kitchenette that is well equipped. There is private parking and a swimming pool for the guests on the premises. There are some great offers for tourists throughout the year at this fine hotel, other than certain selected weekends such as the Independence Day.

Leading international mainboard and graphics card maker MSI released the mainboard BIOS with full AMD AM3+ 8-core CPU support for download today. Enthusiasts that own one of the listed mainboards1 can now download the update to support the latest AMD AM3+ 8-core CPUs (B2 Stepping). For those planning to purchase a new mainboard, if the box is labeled with "Supports AM3+ CPU with New BIOS," the mainboard will support the powerful AMD AM3+ 8-core CPUs out of the box. Enthusiasts that have purchased a mainboard that is on the list of compatible mainboards can update the BIOS themselves to support the latest AM3+ 8-core CPUs. Also, new in this BIOS update is official support for MSI's proprietary ClickBIOS II system optimization tool for all AMD 900 mainboards. The graphical UEFI BIOS provides mainboard-level support, and exporting OC Profiles to USB drives offers unparalleled convenience. Support for Latest AMD AM3+ 8-core CPUs Out of the Box with Designated Mainboards Starting today, enthusiasts can purchase MSI mainboards with a "Supports AM3+ CPU with New BIOS" label on the box. The labeling indicates that the mainboard has been updated with the latest BIOS and already supports the AMD AM3+ 8-core CPUs (B2 Stepping), so users can enjoy the extreme performance of the next-generation processors straight out of the box. Buyers of MSI mainboards on the list of compatible models will not need to buy a new mainboard. Once they update to the new BIOS, their mainboard will be ready for AMD AM3+ 8-core CPUs. ClickBIOS II on all MSI AMD 900 Mainboards All MSI AMD 900 mainboards now also come with MSI's proprietary ClickBIOS II UEFI. System settings can be adjusted using the mouse, and the ClickBIOS II utility also supports online driver updates, BIOS updates and full-system backups. Also, for the first time ever, OC profiles can also be exported to USB drives under UEFI, a very convenient feature for overclocking enthusiasts. For more information, visit this page.
i was looking through msi's boards yesterday and i noticed that none of them had any fx processors in the cpu support list, but some had fx in the name so...
I want a bd but no the 8 core one, give me 6 cores at 95w and I'll be happy as soon as it runs better than my current phenom X4 9550.
Why not? I can't wait to get mine so I can play with it and see what it can really do. Reviews be damned, software, OS and AMD are to blame for it's recent performance hickups. But you should now check out reviews with real retail copies, it blows away the fastest Phenom II by a huge %. Good point but I like the fact you can turn off cores so you can turn your 8-core monster into a 4 or 6 core I believe. Anyway Bulldozer don't break the bank all that much which makes for a great upgrade now then you can always swap it out for a Piledriver in Q1 2012.
Complete nonsense. I have a retail FX-8150 and it certainly does not. All of the official reviews used retail chips. Some of the reviewers didn't use the correct CPU-Z that came with the review kit and it shows as ES.
There is a difference, apparantly. Otherwise reviewers would have "FA" chips. AMD has ZERO reason to label those chips differently. What that difference is, will probably never be known. What IS for sure, is that it matters NOT for performance.
Everything you just said is either wrong, or doesn't apply as Phenom can do it. I can down core, I can overclock, A X6 is 189 at the egg with free shipping, and its available.
I bought one for my media server. Just got mine today, not expecting much. /topic good to see MSi has UEFI
No, what every I said does apply, the point I was trying to make is Bulldozer on paper and it's computer generated design IS theretically be 50% or more faster than current PII's and approx: 30% faster than Intel's Core i7's. Today's released Bulldozer is not due to the issues most people already outlines. Hopefully once things get ironed out, we may get close to those numbers in perhaps a B3 or C1 stepping.
I wrote on a the internet that it wasn't. So it isn't, and based on the reviews my factual reality trumps your theoretical dream world.
Ok, so is it finally 100% approved that the mobos that have the AM3+ CPU Support logo, that have a white (am3) socket, will be able to host an FX cpu??? I'm guessing at this point they will also be compatible with Piledriver as well
It's fact Bulldozer is not doing all that well with Single Threaded Apps, how about Multi-Threaded? This review was hand picked benchmark utilities that show Bulldozer's strengths. it still needs fixing, I agree, but still impressive IMO. (OK so they were not hand picked as I thought) LINK: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1285/pg5/amd-fx-8150-black-edition-8-core-processor-vs-core-i7-2600k-review-test-system-and-methodology.html And here is a quote from the sites Administrator:
Now that you mention it, the other way around sounds even more interesting (unlock the 6 core version to 8 anyone? )
i would be careful tbh as i have read on the asus forums that my mobo has a beta bios for the fx series of cpu's , some users have purchased one of the fx cpu's and it fails to post so whats going on ? . i thought there was not that much of differance between the 890fx and the 990fx ? , anybody confirm this is the case with all the 890 series of mobo's ?
A quote from the sites administrator. W1zz already said its a fail, our own reviewer said its a fail, AMD users have spoken its a fail. I know I'm just a dumbfuck, but I can even see its slower in almost every way that matters. I can read the comments that it will be better with Windows 8, while that is wonderful, they intend to kill this socket before Windows 8 will come to market, making that argument invalid. Claiming future gains is what they have been doing for the past few years without delivering, plus there is no way to guarantee that software will EVER take advantage of it. Stream, Close To Metal, and many other promises they have made and software they promote as the next big thing has all fallen by the wayside. By the time this makes its big showing there will be far faster processors that can do it better.
Here is another review. Ask yourself why the Core i7 2600 is clocked 500MHz faster than the FX 8150 while benching? It looks to me the FX 8150 would have closed the gap if they were clocked the same. In my estimation if both CPU's were clocked the same, Bulldozer would have WON 7 out of those 10 Gaming Benchmarks. http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/4353/amd_fx_8150_vs_intel_i7_2600k_crossfirex_hd_6970_x3_head_to_head/index5.html You have an issue with rewarding a company with Pure out of the box Innovation. to each his own. I admit Bulldozer was not what everybody expected. It was super hyped as a CPU that may have the ability to Bulldoze the competition. GLOF is part of the blame for bad yields and hopefully by the time Piledriver comes out things will get resolved fast. AMD should be rewarded for "Pure Innovation" on this one hands down, regardless of reviews. AMD did something interesting & crazy at the same time, and as it stands, they have no choice but to have Bulldozer succeed. Multi-Threaded apps = Does Alright, but could have done better. Single Threaded apps = Should have been MUCH better. Overall, it's a great CPU, but in order for AMD to properly compete, they need to drop the price further to a more fair price range. Give AMD some time, they will figure it out.

Travellers set up camp at Royal British Legion site in Bramley
6:20pm Thursday 27th September 2012 in News By Helen Morton
TRAVELLERS have set up camp in Bramley at the Royal British Legion site, off The Street.
It is believed some of them moved to the site from Bullsdown open space, Bramley, where temporary security measures have been put in place. The police are aware of the situation and Royal British Legion legal advisers were working to remove the travellers on Tuesday.
Bramley Parish Council has written to the owners of the village play area at Longbridge Road to ask for permission to allow them to protect the land from being used as a site for travellers.
The land was granted village green status by a county council regulatory committee after a battle between developer Radio-tropic and residents.

Book Description:Why do some companies prosper while others fail? Despite great amounts of research, many of the studies that claim to pin down the secret of success are based in pseudoscience. The Halo Effect is the outcome of that pseudoscience, a myth that Philip Rosenzweig masterfully debunks in THE HALO EFFECT. The Halo Effect describes the tendency of experts to point to the high financial performance of a successful company and then spread its golden glow to all of the company's attributes - clear strategy, strong values, and brilliant leadership. But in fact, as Rosenzweig clearly illustrates, the experts are not just wrong, but deluded. In this irreverent and witty book, the author shows readers how to truly understand business performance. Readers will learn about the Delusion of Single Explanations, the Delusion of Absolute Performance, the Delusion of the Wrong End of the Stick, and other fantasies lovingly held by managers that ultimately destroy business success. Rosenzweig also suggests a more accurate way to think about leading a company, a robust and clearheaded approach that can save any business from ultimate failure.

I was just wondering that why isn't there something like semi-pro game tier? I usually make my servers 1650+ no noobs, and the game tier is noobs allowed, so it's kinda ironic, that there isn't supposed to come any noobs, yet, they are allowed. So my suggestion is, to make a new game tier, something like Semi-pro or something.
Usually the game difficulties are easy, medium, hard, but HoN is missing the "medium" part.
Should this be implemented to the game?

I tend to think those tiers really don't mean much.
Atleast Blue/red.
They do mean much! I honestly think there should be the "medium" tier.
The problem that they don't mean much is because there is too few + there is really nothing that says what they actually do. If you were only able to join each tier if you have a certain amount of psr then it would start meaning something (and it would also give a meaning to psr, since after some time you will start meeting equally good players in the same tier).

Be happy once you hit the pro only/no noobs tier. I never look back. Just make sure it's a non-leaver game and you probably have 50% chance of enjoying your game already.
