I get quite a few questions about spray paint, and I thought the most useful way for all of my readers would be to answer those questions publicly. So here it goes.
Why do you use spray paint!?!
I choose to use spray paint because I want my furniture to look like I bought it from a store instead of a refinishing project gone awry. I have learned this the hard way. I have a lot of gallons of paint, and believe me, it is TEMPTING to use those. But, I have come to the conclusion that spray paint leaves a much more professional finish than brushing the paint on. I have brushed it on before….a LOT….I don't do it anymore. Not even occasionally. Spray painting is much more time effective and my furniture ends up looking store bought.
Sidenote: If I had a super nice paint sprayer…I would definitely try using gallon paint, but brushing paint onto projects is long in my past. I hate the brush marks it leaves.
It is "thrifty-er" (is that even a word?…I think I made it up) to brush paint on because of the price of the spray paint. Why do you waste money on spray paint?
In my opinion this is a HUGE "no way" because for me time is money. Brushing paint on takes hours…ok lets be honest…DAYS. For me, I do projects all the time. If I had to wait for a project to dry several hours between coats instead of 10 minutes I would go crazy, and would get 5% of the projects done that I started. I simply use spray paint because of the time efficiency and the professional finish like I discussed above.
What brands do you suggest?
I love several brands of spray paint. Lately, Rust-Oleum has my heart. Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2X coverage rocks. I've tested it myself and it truly does cover twice as well as other brands.
I use Krylon at times too, sometimes the brand that I use is solely determined by the color that I'm looking for.
Have I used other brands? Yes, I have.
But, you have to have a "play it by ear" attitude when dealing with other brands. DO NOT BUY THE CHEAP $1.00 a can stuff. They tend to dry slower, and sometimes they don't coat as well. You will end up spending more money than if you buy less of the more expensive stuff. (Speaking from experience here). If you want to know what brand I absolutely HATE, check out this post.
What sheen of spray paint should I buy?
This depends on what I'm spray painting. If I'm painting a piece of furniture that will take a lot of wear and tear, like a piano or a kitchen table, I always buy gloss (not high gloss).
I've had a lot of people wonder if their project is going to look too shiny when they get done. For these high traffic furniture pieces, priming is not optional. After you prime your project with KILZ, the sheen will not look overly glossy. I know that sounds weird, but that is what I have found. My projects seem to always end up looking more like a satin finish when they get done. PLUS, I want to be able to wipe off a project if my kids spill anything on them. If you use flat paint, you will not be able to wipe it off (again speaking from experience here).
Do you always prime your projects?
Yes, in fact, I would say 95% of the time I prime my projects. I have found that the KILZ spray paint primer is by far the best. If you prime your project, the KILZ will seal it. It will help your project to have a better sheen and finish as a result.
Why does KILZ spray primer leave a sand-papery finish sometimes?
I'm not sure. I have had several people tell me that if you shake the can for longer than two minutes than the sand papery finish doesn't happen. I just take a high grit sand paper (220 grit) after I have primed a project and hand sand it quickly. It takes it right off very quickly.
I painted a project and the paint didn't stick, do you know why?
Number 1: did you prime it? Number 2: was it metal or plastic, or some sort of material that the spray paint can did not say it was ok to paint it with? I bet it was either of these reasons…maybe both that made your paint so fragile and peel off.
Why do some colors cover better than others?
I wish I had a magic answer for this one. But, what I have found is that some colors are simply more translucent than others. A few of the translucent colors I have used are RED, NAVY BLUE, LIME GREEN, and ORANGE. These colors are going to need a LOT more coats than some of the more covering colors like: Ivory, Black, Blue Ocean Breeze (Krylon), Smoke Gray (Krylon), White, and Bauhaus Gold (Krylon). So, if you are painting a project with the more translucent colors described above, plan to buy at least twice as much paint.
After spraying a project do you seal it with a polyurethane after?
It simply depends if I think it needs to be protected. For example on all the dining room tables I have redone, I have sealed the top. I have used a poly-acrylic (or polycrylic I've seen it called both) because it is water based instead of oil based. This protects the projects that will have constant use and wear. Buy a small can of the polycrylic and buy a specific application tool sold specifically for it (a cloth or brush). Just make sure that you follow the directions (on the bottle) on how to apply it.If you want more details, check out this post on when to seal furniture and when it isn't necessary.
Update July 2015: I've recently come across a new product that seems to be amazing so far. It's called Triple Thick by Varathane, and it's freaking awesome! It's like doing three coats of sealer in one. It's water based so it cleans up with soap and water. I like the satin finish the best, but other finishes work great too. I don't think I will buy polycrylic anymore because of how much time the triple thick saves me.
How do you prevent the spray paint from dripping?
I use thin coats of spray paint and try hard not to get too much paint on the project. If you spray too much, this will cause it to drip. I am not perfect, and sometimes I have a drip here and there. I simply let it dry, sand it off with a high grit sand paper and put another few coats of the spray paint to cover it.
How do you prevent your projects from looking stripey?
The project will look stripey while you add the coats of spray paint. Keep spraying coats until the stripey look disappears. I think the best bit of advice here is to make sure you have enough spray paint to cover the entire project completely. Make sure you start your spraying off the project and continue across and end off the other side, then continue back across until you go back off the project. Your painting will look better if you do it this way. Glazing a project is also a great way to hide stripes. 🙂
How do you spray paint in your garage? Doesn't this cause over spray to get all over your garage?
Spraying in my garage is the only way I can do projects during certain times of the year, and I try hard to make sure the entire area is covered with a drop cloth or plastic. BUT…sometimes the over spray covers the floor and items that are near. So, make sure your car and items that you don't want dusted with over spray are not near by. I'm lucky to have a pretty large garage, so I have plenty of room for projects.
What do you use to spray your projects on outside?
I use old carpet remnants to spray most of my projects on. I sometimes use paint drop clothes, but I've found that if I'm spray painting on the side of my house (in the rocks) my projects are more stable if I use carpet.
Have you ever gotten a can of paint that does not have enough pressure to spray properly?
Yes, it drives me crazy when this happens. I take it back to the store and ask for an exchange. They will only do this if the can is mostly full, so don't keep trying to use it if it is defective.
Does it hurt your hand or finger after spraying a large project?
Yes, in fact, it hurts pretty darn bad after you have held a spray paint can in spraying position for several hours. So, I have found that buying the store-bought triggers (that clip to the top of the can) can be helpful. Other than that, I'm not sure if there is a magic solution to this one either. I have just learned to be tough and grit my teeth.
Why does spray paint bubble at times?
I have been getting this question a lot lately. I can only guess why the paint is bubbling based on why it has bubbled for me in the past. These are the reasons why I have had problems with this in my experience:
1. It is too cold. You need to spray paint between about 60 degrees and 85 degrees. Especially if it is "freezing" weather, your paint could literally freeze when it hits the cold air. I have seen this on many occasions.
2. It is too hot. If the weather is too hot, then the paint tends to dry too fast. If this is the case, it can bubble up also. Do not spray paint directly in the beating sun (especially in the summer) or your paint will bubble right up.
3. Your coats are too thick. If there is too much paint on the furniture, when it dries, it will cause it to bubble.
4. You are using a "cheap" spray paint (around $1.00 a can). This type of spray paint is much more apt to bubble.
5. Your piece is not clean and dry. If you have dirt on your furniture, you can expect the paint to do funky things. Same goes to wet furniture. So if you wipe off your furniture with soap and water and then you don't wait enough time for it to dry, you will be sorry, and it can cause bubbling.
What do I do if the paint bubbles?
Do NOT panic! 🙂 Simply get a high grit sand paper (220) and lightly sand the bubbling after it is dry, and go over the area again with paint (no need to prime again).
Can you spray paint in extreme weather temperatures?
In my experience as described above in the bubbling section, it is best if you spray in an environment that is between 60-85 degrees. I don't have this luxury a lot because of the climate I live in. In the summer, it can get to 120 degrees outside. The winter is much milder, but I have to have a "play it by ear" mentality with this. I still do projects in the garage in the winter, and I still spray paint in hot weather. I just stand the risk of the paint bubbling if I choose to spray paint outside of my recommended degree allotment. 🙂
How do you protect your lungs from the spray paint?
I always spray in a well ventilated area, and I hold my breath. I have tried masks in the past, but they drive me crazy. I try to spray paint outside in the fresh air as much as the weather allows.
Where do you buy your spray paint?
I buy as much as possible at Home Depot and Wal-Mart because the price is the best. Do NOT buy a can of spray paint at a craft store for $8.99 a can. Holy cow…that is a major RIP off. Krylon spray paint is $3.47 at my local Wal-Mart. Home Depot will also meet and beat competitor's prices.
I'll keep adding to this post if other items come up, but these are the most common questions I get on a daily basis. The main thing I'd suggest, is that you will get better at spraying your projects with practice. Practice helps you to experience the same problems that I have come across, and you will soon be an expert also!

- How to Read a Study Record
The MADIT-II trial has shown that patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) post myocardial infarction benefit from the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). However, retrospective analyses of the MADIT-II data have revealed a significantly increased morbidity and mortality in patients with appropriate ICD therapy: Appropriate ICD therapy is associated with 3.3-fold increased all-cause mortality, and the risk of a first heart failure hospitalization is 90% higher after 1st appropriate ICD therapy. Hence, the 1st appropriate therapy might indicate the necessity and utility of further clinical diagnostics and therapy in these patients.
This trial is designed to (i) improve the knowledge of the group characteristics of patients suffering from 1st appropriate ICD therapy, (ii) but moreover to take additional therapeutic steps to reduce the mortality of this patient population.

Hello, grilling experts....I'm hoping one of you might have some advice. I have one of Weber's now discontinued 26" kettles...and man am I attached to it. The problem is that it's suffered a bit of age, wear and tear, etc., and the cleaning blades are quite frozen in place. When I attempt to move the cleaning arm, it bends before the blades will move.
Anyone have an idea of how I might restore or replace the ash cleaning system...or should I just consider this the kettle I clean out with an ash shovel? (I've not yet contacted Weber)
It isn't a great issue, as this is largely the grill I use for side dishes (we Hoosier boys love our corn), but I sure would like to keep this grill around a while.
Thanks for your thoughts, my friends.!

Amy, Andres Cardona (NFTE Class of 2010) and I had a terrific time in Monte Carlo! Not only was the setting spectacular, the event almost doubled in size in number of attendees over last year and included interesting speakers and panel sessions. Hats off to Maria Pinelli, NFTE Board Chairman, Herb Engert, and countless other Ernst & Young leaders who brought this all together.
Upon arriving in Nice, France, we each took a helicopter ride from the small Cote D'Azur airport over the Mediterranean Sea to Monte Carlo, Monaco. As you can imagine, despite a long day of travel, a helicopter is a pretty cool ride!
The opening night welcome reception was a lot of fun. We were greeted by a band of drummers at the entrance which was behind the famous Monte Carlo Casino Terrace, right on the water. The World Entrepreneur Of The Year® (WEOY) program is Maria Pinelli's big event where all of the Entrepreneurs Of The Year® from all of Ernst & Young's country programs come together to crown the overall worldwide winner. Maria took the spotlight, later joined by Ernst & Young COO John Ferarro, and together they announced all of the judges who had the difficult task of naming this year's winner. They also brought on stage all of the contenders hailing from 46 countries - a dynamic group of people from every industry and all with a lot of passion for what they are doing.
We were able to meet many great entrepreneurs at this reception including: Hamdi Ulukaya, Chobani; Frank Jaehnert, Brady Corp ; Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Endeavor; Sheila Johnson, Salamander Resorts/Hotels and part owner of the Washington Wizards; Dan Cherian, Nike; Lorenzo Barrera Segovia, Banco Base (Mexico); Rodrigio Herra Aspra, Genomma Lab Int'l (Mexico).
Thursday night Amy and Andres were invited to a very private reception with His Excellency, the Minister of State of the Principality of Monaco. After that, we attended the country dinners- the Mexicans and Colombians can dance! Herb Engert and his team did a lovely job wining and dining all of us. For part of the evening, we enjoyed a blind wine tasting where each country shared a red and a white and each guest sipped, rated, and then used chips to cast their vote for top choice.
We had the chance to hear some incredibly terrific speakers during the days including:
· Dambisa Moyo, economist from Zambia– She informed us that India is growing by one million people per month, which she then she put into the context of youth unemployment.
· Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, founder of the worldwide web– He discussed how big paradigm shifts happen and how at the time when he was building the web he was doing it as a "side project".
Friday we attended a dinner with Cirque du Soleil performers, food stations from around the world and a Beatles cover band, Let It Be, who performed a 90 minute set. They were really good and you might have mistaken them for the real thing!
Saturday morning, the three of us held a NFTE breakfast kicked off with Amy giving a presentation about NFTE as a growing global organization bringing urgency to the issues facing youth and the economy today. She explained how entrepreneurship education is an essential part of the solution to bring about sustainable change. Then Andres took the stage and gave an inspiring, endearing speech about NFTE's effect on his life. Everyone was incredibly moved and won over. Herb Engert, Bryan Pearce and David Spreng also spoke eloquently about why they are involved with the organization and how much fun it is to be in classrooms and at events working with students. I always feel a tremendous sense of pride when there is this coming together of perspectives about why NFTE matters. I know for sure that everyone who attended came away wanting to get involved with us in some way.
After the breakfast, Amy, David & I went to the pavilion and listened to some of the final speakers – Mika Hakkinen and John Cleese. Eclectic to say the least!
That evening, Amy, Andres and I set off for what can only be described as a spectacular and memorable affair. A beautiful setting right on the Mediterranean Sea, the sun shining and every guest looking glamorous in their own right, the gala kicked off with the building's roof opening up to shower the night's sky with a colorful fireworks show. Then the formal agenda ensued, highlighting all of the 2013 country winners and offering a little bit of their stories all of which are quite impressive as you would expect, even including one story about one entrepreneur getting stranded at sea and it being a life changing moment to start a business. Among all of them was the consistent and profound spirit of 'we are a community of entrepreneurs and we all have a responsibility to make the world a better place.' Amidst the winner profiles, more daredevil, gravity defying performances were given by the Cirque du Soleil artists. And then the final moment had arrived … who would be crowned the 2013 World Entrepreneur Of The Year®? This year it went to Hamdi Ulukaya founder and CEO of Chobani!
As I said, the entire event was really remarkable – like the Oscars or Emmy's of entrepreneurship – but when Hamdi gave his acceptance speech you knew you were among real people (sorry Hollywood). He expressed his happiness and how his family gave him the courage to create Chobani and that it was an honor to be an entrepreneur and he feels a deep sense of responsibility to do good for the world. And that as a Turkish-American he is inspired everyday by the idea that the American Dream is alive and well and there for the taking by EVERYONE and he wants to help more people achieve it.
This was a very fancy and exceptional experience for NFTE to be a part of and I am so glad we were part of it. Entrepreneurs are changing the world. NFTE's work is really important and like Andres said in his speech at the NFTE breakfast, he plans to be on that stage in 10 years. I hope he is!!
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at Ernst & Young for including NFTE. We are so proud to be partners.

Topic: Dad's Journey Continues
It's been awhile since I've posted. It has now been 9 months since dad was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. He has had a total of 6 hospital stays, 7 ER visits and 2 very close calls where we thought he was leaving us. Currently he is home and having many up and down days...fevers, pain and lots of fatigue. His weight has gone from 190 down to 137. It is extremely hard to see him in this state. Two weeks ago he was able to attend my nephew's high school graduation. It was a very emotional weekend as he was not sure he would make it. I am traveling home next weekend to be with him for his 69 birthday and Father's Day. I am so looking forward to celebrating with him and the family and hoping he is feeling okay. This week has been challenging for him.
This journey has shown me the strength that both mom and dad hold! They are simply amazing! I love them both so much.
This website and discussion has helped me get through all of this. When I need strength, I pray and then come here to pull for the strengths of all of you!
Thank you!

A MALVERN primary school that was placed in special measures five years ago has just received its second glowing report fromOfsted.
St Matthias C of E Primary School was visited by two inspectors last month, who observed lessons, studied pupils' work, and talked to staff, parents and governors.
And their report, just published, has rated the school as 'good', the second-highest rating Ofsted can award.
Head Claire Davies said she is delighted with the result, which is a tribute to the efforts of staff and governors. She was appointed head after the school was put into special measures in March 2009.
She said: "It's really great to have played a part in turning the school around. Our first Ofsted report was in July 2012 and they judged us as good then, so it's nice to be told that we're keeping up the standard."
Among the points noted in the inspectors' report is that children who enter the school with skills and knowledge below the norm for their age make good progress and leave with d standards at the national average.
Teaching is described as good, with a variety of activities in lessons to maintain pupils' interest. and marking is detailed and helps pupils by telling them how to improve their work.
And the head and leadership team, including governors, are praised for setting high aspirations.
But the report also says the most able pupils are sometimes given work that is too easy for them, and teachers need to check their progress more closely.
And pupils are not always given enough time to respond to their teachers' written comments on their work.
Mrs Davies said: "We are all exceptionally pleased that they have acknowledged that pupils are making consistently good gains in their learning.
"Ofsted always leave a school with the next targets to work on and they feel we could be more demanding of our more able children. This is something we are already working on and will continue to make it a strong focus for the future."

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - A man who thought he heard a wild animal rustling around in his soon-to-be renovated home near New Smyrna Beach instead found a burglar suspected of stealing scrap metal and held him at gunpoint until deputies arrived.
[LISTEN: 911 call released in burglary]
Charles Price, 39, was arrested on charges of burglary.
According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, a 59-year-old man was in a camper in the front yard of a house in the 1700 block of James Street around 11:15 a.m. Monday when he heard noises in the back of the house.
The man thought it was an animal, so he grabbed a gun and went into the house, said deputies, who added that the man found Price carrying two buckets of copper wire and a couple of tennis rackets.
The homeowner pointed his gun at Price and ordered him to get on the ground, deputies said. The man then called the Sheriff's Office and waited for deputies to arrive.
"I don't plan on shooting him, but if he does something stupid, what else am I going to do?" the man said in the 911 call.
Price, who lives behind the burglarized house, told deputies he thought the property was abandoned. He told deputies he was going to sell the items.
Price, who was also found to have a civil order for arrest for failure to pay child support, was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach.

Atlanta The Home Depot announced Tuesday it has launched a national compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb recycling initiative, to accompany its in-store energy conservation program.
The chainwide bulb-recycling initiative, a free service, is reportedly the first such offering made so widely available by a retailer in the United States and offers customers additional options for making environmentally conscious decisions from purchase to disposal.
The Home Depot Canada launched a CFL recycling program in November 2007.
At each Home Depot store, customers bring in expired, unbroken CFL bulbs for recycling in an environmentally compliant manner.
In addition to the CFL recycling program, Home Depot has also launched an in-store energy-conservation program to switch light fixture showrooms in U.S. stores from incandescent bulbs to CFLs by fall 2008 and save $16 million annually in energy costs.

I spend a lot of time in meetings. Some are worthwhile; some are not. But that's not the point to this column — though it would probably touch a lot of nerves with a lot of people.
So the other day, I was out of the office and sitting in a rather somber meeting. While the tone of the meeting wasn't necessarily a bleak or gloomy topic, everyone was quite serious. There were tasks to attend to, and all the meeting members were diligently working toward the same goal. That's fine. I appreciate a group who stays on task and gets their work accomplished. That way the meeting can be adjourned, and we can all get on to the next task before us — sometimes yet another meeting.
As the meeting wore on, I couldn't help but notice some hoopla going on in the room next to us. I realized another group was having a meeting (a group of which I am not a member), and it just so happened they were meeting at the same time and location as the meeting I attended.
While there was a wall and a closed door between us, I have to tell you the noise coming from the other meeting clearly caught my attention. Why? That's easy ... There was laughter — not just a few giggles or chuckles, but downright, nearly roll-on-the-floor type of laughing going on next door. You know the type of laughter of which I'm writing. The laughing was so hard and persistent that before I knew it, I found myself even wanting to laugh out loud — much like my next door meeting friends.
Obviously, I had a difficult time keeping my mind in my somber meeting room. I noticed some in my meeting appeared rather annoyed, but personally, I was really enjoying it. Actually, the sound of continued laughter next door made me almost want to join that meeting, even though I had no idea what their meeting was about.
"Isn't that terrible?" one of my meeting participants finally said. "You'd think they would keep it down."
I didn't say a word, but inside, I secretly hoped they wouldn't "keep it down" at all. Instead, I was voting for more laughter, louder and uncontrollable laughing mixed with a variety of voices. I could picture the smiles. I could almost see tears of laughter rolling down some of the mystery faces. I could feel the way your stomach feels when you've laughed so hard for so long — almost an exhausted feeling. I yearned for more ...
Oh, I miss laughing. Don't misunderstand, I laugh a lot, but I'm talking about that can't-get-your-breath laughter. The kind of laughter that makes you start laughing again and again. The laughter that can't be stopped, no matter how hard you try. The laughter that creates those lines around your eyes that can't be erased. That's the kind of laughter I miss.
It's been said, "Laughter is the best medicine." I have to agree. Who doesn't feel better after a good laugh? Who doesn't look at life a little differently after one of those times when your sides ache from laughing so hard? Who doesn't have a better outlook after a good, old-fashioned dose of laughter?
I know there are a whole lot of things in this world that aren't funny — sad things, miserable things, scary things, horrible things ... you get the idea, and God knows we all spend a considerable amount of time on those non-funny issues. We dwell on them, worry about them and fret minutes, hours and days away on them. And unfortunately, those somber issues get most of our attention and our emotions.
But I think we have to try. Sounds kind of sad, but I think we need to surround ourselves with as much laughter as possible. We deserve it. We owe it to ourselves.
Ironically enough, my somber meeting and the laughing meeting adjourned at about the same time. As the two groups mixed in the lobby, you can guess who was walking away with smiles on their faces.

PRE-SEASON is a funny old time.
Eight weeks of long, lethargic build-up to the main event can become a tedious grind – like two hours of Adrian Chiles before the World Cup final, you know it's become a part of modern football but you'd rather fast forward to the good stuff.
The major problem about this period between late June and early August is exaggerated expectations.
Your team could hold Chelsea's reserves to a 2-2 draw thanks to a late own goal and all of a sudden you find yourself cantering down the bookies with the kids' Christmas fund to back a huge title charge at 55/1. The Guatemalan trialist scores a belter from 40 yards, you decide he's the new Pele and shell out £74.50 to have his 23-character name on the back of your new replica shirt.
Perspective doesn't generally come into the equation. For some reason, results are misconstrued as having some identifiable meaning when, in reality, the manager and players are more concerned with fitness, shapework and durability. A 5-0 win could be much less beneficial to the team than a tight, 0-0 draw.
Equally, if a team is perceived as doing "badly" in pre-season then the vibe around a club can feel more melancholy than an Eeyore convention.
One defeat to a non-league side cues the start of a footballing apocalypse, as does a run of 10 days or more without a new signing, the failure to retain the bloke from Kenya who looked half-decent for 15 minutes at Supermarine or the new away strip featuring any kind of yellow tint.
Without the presence of regular competitive football, fans become far too emotionally tied to even the most mundane news stories of the day.
We've had nothing to offload about all summer, so why not have a good old rant about the new sponsor of the bottom of Darren Ward's right boot.
We all do it, it's natural to us, but it's quite bizarre. August 9 needs to come around sharpish so we can negotiate the peaks and troughs of delirium, derision and despair with good reason and, when we walk back through the front door in a proper huff and our partners ask us what's wrong, we won't grunt back "they've changed pie supplier in the Arkell's".

run @bt:~# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
instead. you should really spend some more time searching for easy answers to questions like this before creating a new thread. it has to be mentioned; it's probably why you haven't gotten any replies to something this easy. look up either sickness' bt5, or maxfx's bt5, updater python scripts on here for something way more elegant and comprehensive from either, than you will get from a simple update && dist-upgrade.
it's your first post and question on here... no harm, no foul. asking for spoonfed answers will only last so long. just a simple word of advice. do your own research first until you hit a *real* brick wall and have no choice other than to ask for help.
might actually learn something.

Budget Battle: HyperMemory vs. TurboCacheby Derek Wilson on 5/12/2005 9:00 AM EST

A554SS1N - Tuesday, May 17, 2005 - linkHello Derek, are you planning to test the AGP 6200 version which uses the NV44A core - it's virtually the same core as the PCI-E Turbo-Cache cards, except it is a native AGP solution. They are all 64-bit as far as NVidia have told me and although all board makers only provide passive cooling, that's all it needs. I've only seen one brief review on another website so far (of the Inno3D one) that didn't really have enough information. As reviews on Anandtech are very thorough, it would be good to test and compare this card. The core is clocked at 350MHz like the Turbo-cache cards and the card has 128mb of 500MHz effective memory.

Shouldn't bear be bare? Reply
pxc - Friday, May 13, 2005 - linkThe x300 HM results wouldn't be so disappointing if ATI had not been saying that HM cards would be faster than TC cards.
Derek: 128MB HM doesn't make much of a difference. I had an XPRESS 200M laptop with 128MB dedicated memory plus HyperMemory and performance was horrible, much much slower than a x300 SE. I wouldn't be surprised if turning off HM made the card faster. Reply
PrinceGaz - Friday, May 13, 2005 - link#23 Jarred- "Despite the fact that the system was high-end, the performance of the cards is the limiting factor. A 3.0 GHz or 3000+ CPU with the same amount of RAM would likely post similar scores. However, 512MB of RAM would have something of an impact on performance. Anyway, $100 gets you 1GB of RAM these days, so we're more or less through with testing anything with 512MB of RAM or less."
Whilst I agree that 1GB and it is not unreasonable for even budget systems to have that amount, $100 certainly won't buy you 1GB of OCZ PC3200 with 2-2-2 timings. Given that the performance of these cards is very dependent on system memory and a budget system is likely to use budget memory, it is important to have benchmarks done with 2.5-3-3 timings or even 3-3-3.
I support AT's use of a very fast CPU etc in all their usual graphics-cards reviews, and a very fast GPU for all their CPU reviews, so that performance is dependent on the component being tested rather than the rest of the system. However with the TurboCache and HyperMemory cards, the system memory effectively becomes an important part of the card, so it is important to test with the sort of budget memory these cards would be used with.
By using premium memory, AT has probably reduced the importance of the quantity of onboard memory and skewed the relative results of the tested cards. The 64MB TC may have performed significantly better in comparison with the others, had the test system been outfitted with 1GB of budget memory at 3-3-3 timings. Reply
kmmatney - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - link#28, you can get decent integrated graphics with the ATI XPRESS 200 chipset - however the only motherboard at NewEgg is $102, which is a bit high. I once saw them for around $80.
bupkus - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - link"...perhaps upcoming integrated graphics solutions from ATI and NVIDIA will be as compelling as these parts show value products can be."
I have a need for cheap but functional graphical PCs for smaller children, so I'm still waiting for a replacement for the NVIDIA nForce2 IGP. What's the holdup? Reply
RadeonGuy - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkMoral of the story is they both suck Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkOur comparison tests will continue to be done on higher end hardware. Our environments are designed to test the performance of graphics hardware not to determine the actual performance an end user can expect.
We run these games on a fresh install of Windows XP SP2. Audio hardware is not installed and the service is disabled in Windows. Nothing that isn't necessary to get the graphics to the screen is not enabled.
Most people have lots of background programs, services, and audio running. With the way Intel and AMD are approaching dual core, multitasking is perched to become even more pervasive. This will enevitably widen the gap between our tests and real world performance when we are looking at graphics cards. Our CPU performance tests will continue to grow and include more and more multitasking as we are able to come up with the tests.
Of course, #25 has a very valid point -- it may well be worth it to run one test in a price targeted system running a more "typical use" environment for reference purposes. Budget systems cluttered with loads of apps running in the background are no place to build a hardware comparison, but that doesn't mean they are entirely unuseful. Reply
jediknight - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - link#17
It would be useful, however, to include benchmarks with all budget hardware - to see if you really can get acceptable (30fps+) gaming performance with these cards in realistic settings. Reply
Wellsoul2 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkThanks Derek.
Seems crazy that there's no DVI since CRT's are
going away fast. Even my old budget 9200SE card
had DVI.
Just wondering..I would think with 17inch LCD's
around $175 and 19inch around $300 (with DVI)
that this is the future.
What do you all think? Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkDespite the fact that the system was high-end, the performance of the cards is the limiting factor.

Consider these tests as a "best case" scenario for budget graphics performance. It will work, but it won't be too impressive. Dropping detail levels will also help, of course. However, reduced detail levels don't really help out performance in some games as much as you might want. Doom 3, for instance, doesn't get a whole lot faster going from High to Medium to Low detail (at least in my experience). Reply
patrick0 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkA Budget-card comparision, with 1024MB System memory? I think it would have been better to use 512MB of system-memory. Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkWellsoul2,
The ATI solution does not have DVI -- just one HD15 analog port.
These cards are fine for running native resolution desktops, but you are not going to want to push them over 1024x768 even without AA/AF ... as you can see the numbers dropped off at that resolution for most tests and 800x600 is really the sweet spot for gaming with these cards.
If you really want to guess about the framerate, just remember that moving from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 increases the number of pixels per frame by a greater ammount and percentage than when moving from 800x600 to 1024x768. Eventhough we can't effectively extrapolate performance from our (fairly linear) graph, we can bet that we'd be getting < 30fps which is considered unplayable by our standards. As HL2 posts relatively high framerates (compared to other games of this generation), we made the call to limit our tests to 1024x768 and lower.
If LCD users want to game on a 1280x1024 panel with these cards, they'll need to do it at a non-native resolution. Reply
Wellsoul2 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkAgain..anyone with an LCD monitor would prefer
native resolution numbers. No amount of AA/AF
seems to make up for the crappy interpolated
video at lower resolutions.
At least give the numbers for Doom3/HL2.. Reply
Wellsoul2 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkI'd like video reviews with 1280x1024 resolution.
This is the native resolution of my 19in LCD.
It would seem more useful to have tests for the
low budget cards at high resolution for LCD and
using no AA/AF.
People I know are buying the new cheap cards because they have DVI output to use with LCD.
If you buy a cheap/mid priced computer they often
have built in analog video only.
I'd like to know if you can run Half Life 2 at
1280x1024 with no AA/AF on these cards and what
the frame rate is. Reply
cryptonomicon - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkWTF?
what is this thing? these puny performance cards with only 32mb memory can beat previous generations of retail mid-range cards??? how the heck... Reply
KristopherKubicki - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkstevty2889 and others:
The tests are run on the highest end components to assure the bottlenecks are the video card and not the CPU. Furthermore, since we test every single other video card and motherboard on the same setup, it makes sense for us to use the same hardware this time around as well.
Neither the X300 nor the 6200 will receive a magical advantage by using low end hardware instead of high end.
Kristopher Reply
Hikari - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkThe x300 is more like a neutered 9600 instead of a 9200 I thought. Given that the one tested here won in HL2, that would seem to be the case, no? Reply
Marlin1975 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - link^
Ignore, just re-read :) Reply
Marlin1975 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkDerekWilson see my other post at 5. I then saw the graphs are not wrong, BUT you said the "The 16 and 32 MB TC cards round out the bottom and top of the pack respectively" which is not true. The 64mb and 16mb round out the bottom, while the 32mb is at the top. Reply
OrSin - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkWhy test $60 video cards on systems with the highend chips and memory. No one test goodyear tires on ferrari. I want to see these test ran on 2800 CPU and kinmax memory. As it stands this a waste to me.
Also why not test some on board cards to these.
To see if its even worth upgrade the Intel ,ATI, or NV solution to these.
stevty2889 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkWhat the heck? The system it was tested on was:
Microsoft Windows XP SP2
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon FX-53
Seagate 7200.7 HD
OCZ Powerstream 600W PS
Nobody that buy's these cards is going to be running on a system like that..should have been tested with a sempron, or 2.8ghz P4/A64 2800+ type setup instead.. Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkSorry about leaving off the machine specs -- I've updated the article.
Actually, that was quite an oversight as the system these cards are run in is very important to note when looking at the numbers.
Marlin1975, InuYasha is correct -- the 32MB card out performed the 64MB part in almost every test. It wasn't until we upped the resolution to unplayable degrees that the 64MB part was able to make up the difference. Reply
bob661 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkDoes anyone know what motherboard and how much ram was used in their test system? Reply
CrystalBay - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - link#3 I was wondering the same thing myself, hmmm. Reply
InuYasha - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - link#4 the 32MB and 64MB results are not backward.
if i remember correctly from HOCP, the 32MB has faster memory and that makes a huge difference than the amount of memory. Reply
Icehawk - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkI don't see the machine specs anywhere either? I'm curious if these were tested on the "standard" uber-machine or tested on what kind of PC someone buying these would actually have. Somehow, by the #s generated I think this was on the uber-machine. While interesting to see ultimate performance I think end-users would also be served by showing more realistic performance #s.
A couple of minor typos ;) Reply
Marlin1975 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkOK I think it is a mis-tpe, not the graohs that are wrong on page 7...
"Unreal Tournament 2004 shows our 32MB HyperMemory performing on par with the 64MB TurboCache part in the middle of the pack. The 16 and 32 MB TC cards round out the bottom and top of the pack respectively." Reply
gimpsoft - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkbe alot better if it could be the other way around taking video card memory and using it for windows then ill really pay for it lol letting video card borrow system memory bad idea for the future
anyways that's just me Reply
Marlin1975 - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkDo you have the 32mb and 64mb cards backwards? Reply

erinlegault - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkLOL. I beat the losers who care about having the 1st post. Reply
erinlegault - Thursday, May 12, 2005 - linkUnfortunately, I don't think this was a completely fair test of hypermemory, since the Radeon X300 (synonymous with 9200) is complete crap, while Geforce 6200 is probably adequate for most users (I think there equivalent or better than the Radeon 9600's) Reply

Ossett Albion 1 Warrington Town 2
SUPER sub Ash Ruane scored deep into injury time to secure a smash and grab 2-1 win for Warrington Town at bottom of the league Ossett Albion.
Ciaran Kilheeney gave Warrington the lead midway through the first half, with the Ossett keeper in fine form to keep the scoreline to just 0-1 at the break having saved well from Scott Metcalfe and point blank from a Kilheeney header.
Missing skipper David Mannix and central defender Jay McCarten through injury and with on-loan Stockport Sports defender Richard Annan making his debut, the home side - winners of just two games all season - looked dangerous on the break and had a strong penalty appeal turned down.
Just before half time Aaron Bowen had an effort cleared off the line, while Ossett rasped a shot just past the post.
At the start of the second half Town keeper Josh Ollerenshaw saved well as the home side looked to get back into the game.
Warrington then had a strong penalty appeal turned down when Carlos Meakin was pulled in the box after a good through ball from Metcalfe.
With the game opening up, the home side eventually drew level when Thompson mis-kicked a clearance to allow Ben Grech-Brooksbank to fire home on 67 minutes.
Sensing a rare victory the home side stepped up the pressure, with Ollerenshaw again saving well.
With time running out, manager Shaun Reid brought Liam Dawson off for Ruane.
With moments of injury time remaining Ossett missed a golden chance to steal three points, before themselves feeling the sting of conceding a late goal.
Meakin crossed, Wharton hit the post and Ruane tapped in to the delight of the travelling fans as Warrington, perhaps fortunately, returned home with all three points.
Town: Ollerenshaw, Annan, Thompson, Guest, McKenna, Robinson (c) Dawson, Meakin, Bowen, Kilheeney, Metcalfe. Subs: Davies, Ruane, Wharton, Gahgan, Newby.

Generic Name: vigabatrin (vye-GA-ba-trin)
Brand Name: Sabril
Sabril may cause permanent vision loss in a high percentage of patients. This effect may occur within weeks or sooner after starting treatment. It may also occur after months or years. The risk may increase with higher doses and prolonged use, but it may occur with any dose or length of use. Vision loss may continue to worsen after stopping Sabril.
Vision loss may not be detected until it is severe. Patients or caregivers may not be able to recognize the symptoms of vision loss. Eye exams will be performed at the start of treatment and at least every 3 months during treatment. They will also be performed for 3 to 6 months after treatment stops. Some patients may develop severe vision loss even with monitoring.
Tell your doctor if you have or are at risk for developing another type of permanent vision loss. Tell your doctor if you use other medicines that may cause serious vision problems (eg, retinopathy, glaucoma). Sabril should not be used in these patients unless the benefit outweighs the risks.
Use the lowest dose of Sabril for the shortest time needed. Sabril should not be used for longer than 3 months if no improvement is seen in your condition.
Sabril is used for:
Treating refractory complex partial seizures (CPS) that have not responded to several other treatments. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Sabril is an antiepileptic. Exactly how it works is not known, but it may work by blocking certain enzymes in the brain.
Do NOT use Sabril if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Sabril
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Sabril:
Some medical conditions may interact with Sabril. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have vision problems, kidney problems, or certain blood problems (eg, anemia, porphyria)
- if you have a history of depression, other mental or mood problems, or suicidal thoughts or actions
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Sabril. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) because their effectiveness may decreased by Sabril
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Sabril may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Sabril:
Use Sabril as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Sabril comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Sabril refilled.
- Take Sabril by mouth with or without food.
- Do not suddenly stop taking Sabril. There may be an increased risk of side effects (eg, seizures). If you need to stop Sabril, your doctor will gradually lower your dose.
- Talk with your doctor about what to do if you miss a dose of Sabril.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Sabril.
Important safety information:
- Sabril may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or vision problems. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Sabril with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- If symptoms do not get better within 3 months or if they get worse, check with your doctor.
- Sabril may cause weight gain. If you notice unusual weight gain, contact your doctor.
- Sabril may cause abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in infants. These changes have not been seen in adults. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Patients who take Sabril may be at increased risk for suicidal thoughts or actions. The risk may be greater in patients who have had suicidal thoughts or actions in the past. Watch patients who take Sabril closely. Contact the doctor at once if new, worsened, or sudden symptoms such as depressed mood; anxious, restless, or irritable behavior; panic attacks; or any unusual changes in mood or behavior occur. Contact the doctor right away if any signs of suicidal thoughts or actions occur.
- Sabril may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are taking Sabril.
- Lab tests, including eye exams, may be performed while you use Sabril. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Sabril with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Sabril should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 10 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: It is not known if Sabril may cause harm to the fetus. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Sabril while you are pregnant. Sabril is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Sabril.
Possible side effects of Sabril:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

"These are perfect, our photo was perfect on the cards! Great quality. Would be nice for the cards to be a little thicker, but I would buy them again if I needed to! Don't forget, using postcards means postcard stamps,which will also save you money since they are only 35 cents each vs the 49 cents for traditional letter stamps!"
"Our Save the Date turned out better than I imagined! Our Designer did a fantastic job on them and they responded to all my requests!"
"I changed a little bit of the wording on the front of the card to make it fit better with the length of our names. Loved that I was able to customize it down to every detail. I also requested to see two different color schemes - this was so helpful in making the decision on exactly how I wanted it to look. They got to me in good shape and very quickly after placing the order. High quality look & feel of the product!"
"When I started to design the postcard, I was unsure & nervous how the finish product will turn out. One thing is the digital draft & another is physically having the example of it. When I finally confirmed the final finish, I started second guessing myself. Thinking it wouldn't look nice once it's printed. Thought about possibilities of just cancelling the order. Well shipping was a couple days early which was great. Once I received it & opened it I was very impressed & happy with the finished product. Turned out way better than the digital draft. So far, everyone who has received the save dates, have been giving me only but positive feedback on the design. Even the paper feels like a postcard. My fiancé & I are very pleased. It exceeded our expectations. I will definitely recommend to all my friends about this website. It's worth money, considering that it's more affordable than most websites."
"I used WPD to make a Save the Date card for my upcoming wedding and it was such a seamless process! I had a few changes to the design which they more than happily fixed, and their customer service was fantastic. Literally in 3-4 days I had designed the card, approved a proof, and received my shipment (with express delivery)."

"Fujitsu are representing the Virgin brand. They are delivering the Virgin Media experience to our customers"
Jon James, Executive Director Broadband, Virgin Media
Virgin Media were the pioneers of high speed internet in the UK, launching the first form of broadband back in the year 2000 and they have been committed to faster speeds and better service ever since.
They are unique in the UK Media industry through being the first "quadruple-play" media company, providing a full range of services for both businesses and customers: from fixed and mobile telephone to television and broadband. They own and operate their own fibre-optic cable network, the only such national cable network in the UK.
The installation of Virgin Media services and products is the beginning of the customer journey and one of the first touch points with the Virgin Media brand.
Virgin Media wanted their customers to have a seamless experience from the get go. This meant robust transition planning of the transfer and recruitment of more than 1,000 technicians was vital, both technically and through supporting the customer journey. Virgin Media needed a partner that could guarantee core technical expertise and an outstanding experience for its customers.
Fujitsu had a proven track record of providing Virgin Media with innovative and efficient solutions, having already supplied network engineering and business installation services as well as providing cabinet and business Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) solutions. Fujitsu responded to Virgin Media's requirements with a compelling and competitive proposal and now supports Virgin Media in its residential and business installations and helps provide engineering services. The multi-year contract began in March 2011, with Fujitsu's Transition Team ensuring a seamless integration of Fujitsu services over the first few weeks.
Fujitsu is playing an integral part in Virgin Media's commitment to a great customer experience throughout the Join Journey and beyond. Fujitsu technicians work in partnership with Virgin Media to deliver an outstanding installation experience to customers in Scotland, North East England and Northern Ireland. Fujitsu also helps Virgin Media to streamline its post-install operational processes by providing residential and network engineering support in the ever evolving digital home and business environment.
In any given day, Fujitsu is representing the Virgin Media brand by delivering service in over 4,000 homes and 400 businesses whilst covering the national network asset through networks civils, fibre optic cabling, equipment installation and services at over 300,000 street cabinets.
Fujitsu now supports Virgin Media in delivering an outstanding customer experience, providing core expertise and a real understanding of the Virgin Media brand.
As Virgin Media Executive Broadband, Jon James, says:
"The relationship with Fujitsu is one of those pillars of Virgin Media's digital ambition. Fujitsu is absolutely on the front line of delivering what the Virgin brand sets out to do in people's digital lives."
Fujitsu provides a level of service that Virgin Media trust:
"Fujitsu are representing the Virgin brand. They are delivering the Virgin Media experience to our customers. That means not just the technical experience, not just the processes, but the customer experience, the relationship and the behaviours in the home."
People's digital lives are exploding and Virgin Media are commited to enable their homes to become more exciting places to live. Technology and consumer behviour are changing so fast that it is impossible to predict what the home will look like in the years to come. However, Virgin Media believes they are in the optimum position to respond to changes and be the best in the market.
"Fujitsu were and are ambitious for the scope of this project and the quality they deliver but they are also responsive because our needs change all the time, our customers' needs change all the time and none of us have all of the answers," says Jon James.
Fujitsu and Virgin Media will continue to work together every day in customers' homes installing and maintaining, upgrading and enabling their digital experience.
"The relationship between Fujitsu and Virgin Media is one of those critical relationships without which we simply couldn't achieve our vision. Without them, our ambitions simply couldn't come true."

Put Rice MBA Students to Work On Your Toughest Management Challenges
The Capstone Course at Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business brings together teams of Rice MBA students to develop recommendations that help community organizations solve critical strategic challenges, such as major growth or expansion plans, organization turnaround strategies, and new ventures by the organization in need of a business plan. The course is offered during the spring semester.
Capstone Professors Work with You during the Fall to
Frame the Problem for the Student TeamsAn 8-12 page written "case" that provides details about the business challenge and your organization is developed collaboratively with you by the professors before the spring semester as a starting point for the student teams.
Student Teams Develop Comprehensive Strategic
Solutions during the Spring SemesterFrom January to early May, student teams work through
a series of assignments focused on your organization
that build from initial assessments of your situation to
strategy development to detailed strategic designs and
implementation plans. A Capstone Course professor
supervises and guides the student teams and is in regular
contact with your organization throughout the spring
semester to help facilitate a satisfactory experience and
outcome for your organization.
Capstone is Highly-Collaborative between Students,
Organizations and ProfessorsStudent teams will interact with your organization

EXCLUSIVE: She is a daytime institution and the most recognizable star from departing ABC soaps All My Children and One Life To Live. So it would be natural for Prospect Park, the company that recently forged a multi-year, multi-platform licensing agreement with Disney for the two daytime dramas, to reach out to Lucci first. I hear that has happened and Lucci has received an offer to continue on AMC, on which she has been since its inception in 1970 and is the only original cast member remaining. What's more, I have learned that, despite speculations about potential salary cuts on the two shows as they migrate from broadcast TV to online, Lucci has been offered basically the same salary she currently has at ABC. She is currently mulling the offer. While there will probably be some budget trimming due to the medium switch, it looks like AMC and OLTL's' new producers are stepping up to keep the shows' biggest stars and fan favorites. AMC and OLTL are scheduled to relaunch online in the first quarter of 2012. Prospect Park is also in talks with cable networks about carving out a traditional TV window.
'AMC' Star Susan Lucci Mulling Offer To Continue On The Show As It Moves Online
48 Comments
Clearly not hard enough since they've already lost Debbie Morgan & Jacob Young to Y&R and B&B. I honestly dont think Lucci will stay.
I love Jacob young and even debbi but they have been ready to leave ever since the news of cancellations broke, i always think they were going to be on their way out. debbi wasn't feeling the blind story line and JY well he can always berecast, I think PP is doind great everyone who waited for just a second are now getting offers for basically the same pay and the promise to help get them on cable shows they they do…
Losing Debbie Morgan and then Jacob Young, both to CBS, that doesn't show me commitment to keeping it's stars.
jr character was ready for rehab or something, it has been going around in circles for a couple of years, I didn't like him as Lucky on GH and don't like him as JR, so no big loss.
I thought the Debbie blind storyline has gone on and on,
I look forward to the soaps online.
There is still lots of talent left, they just need good writing.
OLTL has been the best lately, it should have been kept instead of GH which is HORRIBLE!
Where is the funding coming from to pay network salaries to Lucci and others?
The terrorists have won.
I think All My Children might be better without her, she is not worth the high salary. Michael Knight has become the heart and soul of AMC, they need him to continue. As for One Life to Live, it could never be the same without Erika Slezak and Robin Strasser. Let's hope some smart thinking cable network picks up the shows.
U are jealous keep yo mouth off Susan Lucci.
Both Morgan (who has wanted to be on Y&R forever) and Young (who came to AMC from B&B) were in negotiations with CBS before the PP deal was announced. Their departures, while unfortunate, are NOT the fault of PP.
I was hoping it was an offer from playboy.
Lucci was already commuting cross-country when the show moved to LA. I find it hard to believe she'll keep that up for an internet show.
hope Suzann stays for all my children will not be the same without at least having Erica kane aboard the new version a long with other fan favorites though odds are in order to be able to pay Sueann her salary she is getting odds are the soap will proably wind sending a few more actors packiing.
I think they are trying. Debbie Morgan already signed or just had signed with Young and the Restless just as it was announced that AMC and OLTL would continue. The deal needed and needs time to work itself out. They needed to talk and straighten everything out with unions before they could even approach the cast.
DM had already signed on with Y&R and was actually in talks with them for months before officially going over. JY was rumored to have been speaking with B&B since April so these were pretty much done deals not much PP could do about it. They could not approach the actors until they had addressed union issues. PP knows that if that can't keep Susan you don't really have AMC you just have some fake version of it and it would likely fail. I'm just glad that rumors of drastic pay cuts seem to be bogus.
Debbie Morgan signed with Young and the Restless before any contract offers were made by Prospect Park. That may have been the case with Jacob Young as well. I just hope AMC doesn't lose any more cast members.
Debbi Morgan and Jacob Young are isolated cases. Debbi has wanted to be on Y&R for AGES… and when he contract expired she LEAPED at the chance to jump ship. Jacob Young sat in on the meeting for Prospect Park but didn't like that it was a whole new frontier/voyaging in the unknown and HE wasn't comfortable with going that route… so when B&B reached out to him, he accepted. I really think he should have listened more to what they had to offer as the material he's been getting on the show has been INCREDIBLE lately… but its his choice, and he's probably going to regret it in a year or so.
Susan…if you don't need the money walk away from this! And fast!…. Both Jeff and Laurie Ferneau are sadly desperate people with their own agendas.How Jeff bought into her crap and hired her, will always be a unexplainable… she cuts him down behind his back.he doesn't even know it… A no talent…which you aren't. What a legacy you leave…There's nothing more for you to get from this show…So many more opportunities out there for you…Their feeble attempt, when it fails…and it will…will bring you down with it. A desperate has been. your too smart for that.
Susan will stay!!!! What a bunch of negative Nancy's commenting on this….If you do your homework you might not be sooo negative.. wait…are you even soap viewers?? HEE
Jacob Young and Debbie Morgan could still end up coming back on AMC in time!!! This situation, going to PP online (it will make tv too) is something new so it gonna take time for contracts made up, and then each parties have to go over…so on and so on…
If you are a soap viewer this is a good thing….we have been fighting Disney/ABC since April, and we will keep fighting to save the soaps!!!
I don't think she'll accept the offer, unless she is so bored she decides to hell with it and do it for a little while or she waits until it goes on traditional cable TV.
I feel strongly feel that Prospect Park has every intention of trying to make this work and they are willing to front the necessary monies to make this transition. However, it is a huge gamble because I guarantee that these contracts that are signed with the actors/crew are for 1 year or less meaning they will pull the plug on these shows within 1 year if they are not profitable. And if that's the case, then we the fans will lose out on a proper finale/farewell (I heard one of them was going to jump 5 years ahead so that we caught up on what all the characters were up to but that go scrapped because of the online deal) with the entire cast intact. I have a feeling a year from now fans will be wishing that they had ended when scheduled.
I'm so happy to have some more news about All My Children and One Life to Live. I hope the majority of the actors will continue on. I know Prospect Park is working hard to keep our soaps alive, but it's hard as a fan to wait for news. Thanks Deadline for sharing the scoop!
On OLTL, Todd, Dorian, David have already left. Those were great characters. Not much point in continuing without the cast.
Hope Lucci says yes to help the show transition and hope she insists they relocate the show back to NYC!
I hope Susan stays with the show. She has always pursued other professional opportunities while working on AMC, and she could still do that and remain with the new online version. The internet is the future of entertainment, and this has the potential to be a great opportunity for her. I suspect that she'll at least try it out and see how the production goes and what storylines are offered to her. I hope it works out for her.
Please keep these soaps. I'm a big fan since I was a teenager. Don't do this to the fans!!!
Why soaps haven't migrated to cable like Monday Night Football is beyond me.
Because MNF is a popular moneymaker, and the soaps are not anymore. If they can't even survive on network TV, which is available to more viewers than cable and therefore has a larger potential audience, imagine how stinky their ratings would be on a cable channel. Cancellation city!
oh right and "the chew" is so original. PLEASE. If i want to watch news of today or food i'll watch the food network. don't count on soap fans watching that crap
I will never watch the "chew". What an ignorant name. Whenever possible, I'll boycot ABC.
Hey Esther. If you think this is A Feeble Attempt with Prospect Park getting A Millionaire to be on It's Executive Committee and Talking to the Unions and Trying to get These Soaps on Cable TV; then what would you do if you were Them? Also, The People that Work for Prospect Park have been Successful with Almost Everything they have ever done and They are Doing Everything that needs to be Done. I wouldn't think that They will Fail if People think that this is the Future with Shows on the Internet. Jody
Hello Dan. Maybe JR can go to Rehab and not be on All My Children. Then, if Bold And Beautiful doesn't use Jacob in 6 Months; Then Maybe Jacob would go back to All My Children Especially if it is on Cable TV and JR would get out of Rehab. Jody
It's obvious Prospect Park wants Susan. I would love to see her pursue primetime. That's where she belongs. Maybe Susan should negotiate a pilot deal with Prospect Park in addition to starring in the online version of All My Children. Additionally, she has been loyal to All My Children for 41 years and deserves to be one of its executive producers.

HOUSTON - Police are looking for two men who attacked and robbed a woman walking home from a bus stop in Houston.
The woman asked Local 2 to not reveal her identity out of fear of the men who assaulted her.
It happened Tuesday around 8 p.m. after she was dropped off at the bus stop at Bellaire and Synott.
Through a translator, the woman said she was walking home with a bag in each hand, plus her purse, when two men passed her and then attacked her from behind.
"A man grabbed my hair, then twisted my arm, and grabbed my purse," she said. "He hurt me, my entire chest hurts."
The victim said the men also threw her to the ground.
"They could have just taken the purse, but hurt me? It shouldn't have happened," she said.
The victim said it was dark outside and she only got a vague description of the two men.

Residents across the district are being urged to remain vigilant in the fight against opportunist rogue traders.
West Yorkshire Police have highlighted various techniques used to try to con victims, such as claiming utility problems or damage to a property to gain access to homes.
Crime-prevention officer Chris Joyce said the need to stay security savvy was particularly important at this time of year.
"There is a minority of individuals operating in the county who intentionally dupe occupants into handing over their money and will attempt all manner of tactics," he said.
"It is important people are alive to these possibilities, in particular those who are the most vulnerable within our communities.
"Dealing with a rogue trader can have a seriously detrimental effect on a victim's health and confidence."
If you have any concerns about individuals operating in this manner contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Our buddy Buck Woody made an interesting post about a common question: "How do I back up a single table in SQL Server?"
That got me thinking about what a backup of a table really is. BCP is often used to get the data but you want the schema as well.
For reasonable-sized tables, the easiest way to do this now is to create a script using SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, you:
1. Right-click the database (note not the table)
2. Choose Tasks > Generate Scripts
3. In the Choose Objects pane, select the table you want to script
4. In the Set Scripting Options pane, click Advanced.
5. In the Types of Data to Script option, choose Schema and Data. (If you also want indexes, etc. make sure they are also chosen)
Click your way through the remaining screens and you're done.

- Choose DB (don't know why it ask you again?? :P) and NEXT.
- You are at "Choose Script Options" page now. Scroll down to "Table/View Options" and you'll see "Script Data". Set to TRUE if you want to backup the data in the table too. You can also choose other options as you wish. Hit NEXT.
- Select object you want to script.
- Follow the rest of the instruction.
Thanks, it helped.
Does not work in MSSQL Management Studio 2005. It scripts only structure and schema no data.
Thanks a lot. It helped me take my table backups!
Is there any query to take bakcup of table and database.
if i want take backup 3-4 table then please suggest
You can just script those 3 tables.
It should not be work in mysql 2000
I can't comment on mysql
Have you considered using Integration Services? That's the type of repetitive task that it's designed to do.
Hi Greg
i am using Sql azure where Integration Services is not available
Hi Sunil,
Yes, but a local copy of Integration Services can connect to SQL Azure just the same. Or are you trying to copy the table to Azure storage or something? (And is it large?)
we can use this method for small size of table only
how to retrieve table information
hey man i tried this but the script generated was to create table is it like after generating script should i change the command to backup and run!!!!!! pls advise...
Sorry, don't follow. There are scripting options for creating (or dropping) the table, and/or for including the data when generating the script. This is just a way of scripting a table with it's data in it. You then need to use the script that's generated on another DB.
Guys in MSSQL 5 use
select * into NewTableName from ExistingTableName
make sure NewTableName is not available in DB and ExistingTableName is already available in DB.
This query create a new table with schema of existing table as well as dump complete data.
Hi Ashwini,
That creates a new table with the same contents of the old one, not a backup of the table. (Backups can be taken elsewhere).
Thanks a lot.. It woprked like charm
thanx it's help a lot
It will not create Constraints and keys on new table.
Yes, if all you want to do is copy the table's data to a new table, that works fine. But it won't help with moving the data elsewhere
It is really very use full for me thank you so much.
It is very usefull, Thanks a lot :)
Thanks for this!
Helped out tremendously
What size table would be considered small enough to make this the appropriate method?
I've used it up to reasonable-sized tables but you need to keep in mind the size of the SQL script generated. That's the main limitation. They get hard to work with when they get large.
