The best small TV for most people is the 32-inch TCL Roku. Since most 32-inch TVs are meant for a secondary room or to be very price conscious, this TCL set stands apart with its affordable price tag and integrated Roku functionality. As a result, it has the best smart features of any small TV and saves you the $50-plus that an external Roku box would cost. It even offers three HDMI ports, while most TVs in this size have two. The picture quality is good, and the value can't be beat. TCL also offers three other variants on this set, the 3700, 3800, and the 3850. If you're okay with the styling, go for whichever one is available at the lowest price.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $197.
Most publications don't take the time to evaluate small TVs, instead focusing all their efforts on high-end ones even though small TVs are what most people actually buy. For anyone seeking a 32-inch TV, out-of-the-box performance and value will be the most important components. While some TVs offer the controls for a professional calibrator like myself to get the best performance out of them, no one is going to spend $250 on a TV and then spend $350 on calibration. It has to perform well straight out of the box with little work. It also has to offer the best value, with great streaming options and plenty of inputs available without your having to buy another streaming dongle or HDMI splitter.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $234.
If you want better picture quality, the Vizio D32-D1 is our choice for now. It features full 1080p resolution, but we don't think you really need that in a TV this size. Integrated Netflix along with some other apps will handle lots of your streaming, but this assortment of apps lacks the depth of selection that Roku offers. With only two HDMI inputs on the D32-D1, you can't connect as many devices as you can to the TCL set, but you are likely to get a slightly better image. We haven't done any hands-on testing of this model, but we like Vizio sets, having chosen them for our best TV and 4K TV on a budget guides. Also, when the new Vizio E32f-E1 is available, we'll look at testing that model.
I have been reviewing TVs, monitors, projectors, and other home theater equipment since 2008. I'm an ISF Level II–certified calibrator, so I can coax the best image possible out of a display, and I always have the objective data to back up my subjective opinion.
No one bothers to review 32-inch TVs despite the fact that they're the best-selling size in the industry. They aren't the big, fancy models that sell magazines or drive Web traffic, and they usually lack whatever the brand-new feature of the year is for larger TVs. Even when people do review them, it's almost always just a short, subjective review with no hard data at all behind it.
To fix this, I went to vendors and started to bring in as many 32-inch TVs to personally review as I could. I borrowed recent models from friends and family to get a good idea for baseline performance. I tested and evaluated a $300 TV just as thoroughly as I would a $3,000 TV to be certain which model out there is the best. If a model was essential to review but a review sample wasn't to be found, I went out and bought it myself. And now someone spending $300 instead of $3,000 on a TV has the same quality of review available to them.
The best outside sources for small-TV reviews come from European websites such as HDTVtest and TrustedReviews. With smaller living spaces, people in Europe are more likely to turn to a 32-inch TV for their main set than people are in the US. Since European displays have to support different refresh rates (50 Hz versus 60 Hz for some content) and inputs (SCART) than American ones, the hardware isn't exactly the same. However, the LCD panel itself and the pieces that directly relate to image quality are often identical, so reviews can serve to help you determine which units deserve a look.
For this guide, we consider a "small" TV to be anything 32 inches or smaller. For many people, this might be a main TV, but for others it will be a secondary TV. If it is your main TV, the price increase to move up to a 40-inch or even a 50-inch display isn't that significant and, in our opinion, worth doing if your space can hold it.
If you are confined by space but still want the best TV you can get in this size, we will cover that too. We are assuming that most people are after a TV with a good picture and (more important) a good value.
The only technology you will see in a 32-inch TV is an LCD set with either an LED or CCFL backlight. LEDs are slightly more power-efficient and can produce a thinner display, while CCFLs are usually less expensive.
For a 32-inch TV, a 720p model is likely going to be fine. To verify this, I set up a 720p display directly next to a 1080p display, calibrated both, and sent the same image to them from an Oppo BDP-103D Blu-ray player. All processing was disabled, so both displays were receiving the exact same signal.
So what should a 32-inch display cost? Manufacturers are focusing on newer, larger, Ultra HD displays, so right now you can spend as little as $170 and still get something great. If you really want 1080p, you'll probably end up spending between $200 and $250.
Don't look at refresh rates on a 32-inch TV. Virtually no one offers a true 120 Hz panel unless you are spending a lot of money on a TV. Many vendors use tricks that they claim make the panel effectively a 120 Hz panel and then label the product as 120 Hz. Usually such tricks involve flashing the backlight instead of always having it on. Sometimes this is helpful, sometimes it isn't; it really isn't worth paying extra for.
Lots of TVs also offer sound modes to provide better-quality audio. Unfortunately, such models are also using tricks, as these tiny displays can't overcome the laws of physics. Making bigger sounds requires more surface area, and manufacturers are moving toward smaller, thinner TVs, not larger ones. If you really want better sound, you should pick up a soundbar; it will sound better and will also play back music from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
I bring in every TV that I review and give it the same thorough review process. After initial setup, I evaluate and measure the preset picture modes using CalMAN version 5.2 software with an AJA T-Tap pattern generator, an X-Rite i1Pro spectrometer, and a SpectraCal C6 colorimeter. After determining the best preset image mode, I perform a full calibration on the TV, optimizing it for daytime and nighttime use. The more controls that are available, the longer this process takes, and the more improvement I can make.
*At the time of publishing, the price was $197

Three-Month Average Volume: 10.83 million
Volume % Change: 336% >>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now From a technical perspective, DAL gapped up sharply higher here right above its 50-day moving average at $20.06 with strong upside volume. This move pushed shares of DAL into breakout territory, since the stock took out some near-term overhead resistance at $20.55. Shares of DAL are now quickly moving within range of triggering another big breakout trade. That trade will hit if DAL manages to take out some more near-term overhead resistance levels at $21.99 to its 52-week high at $22.05 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in DAL as long as it's trending above Monday's low of $20.76 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 10.83 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then DAL will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $25 to $27.

Central Park Calls in the Dogs, Hoping They'll Drive Out the Geese
By TIMOTHY WILLIAMS
Published: April 6, 2007
For anyone who believes geese are unobjectionable, think again. Here are some things the city's parks department would like you to know: Geese are voracious eaters and can ruin acres of manicured lawns. They chase away ducks. Adult geese produce nearly one pound of droppings each day.
So under a light snow yesterday morning, the humble Canada goose was elevated to the city's pantheon of scourges, alongside such stalwarts as pigeons, roaches and rats.
There was no proclamation, no recoil from a hunter's rifle, just three aggressive border collies in Central Park, primed to corral -- though not to harm -- any goose caught resting unaware on the park's Kentucky bluegrass, which apparently tastes as good to geese as it looks to humans.
Before it dawned on them that they were to be the prey yesterday during a demonstration of the dogs' skills, a pair of affectionate geese soared majestically above Harlem Meer, the lake at the north end of the park. Other geese paddled placidly in the chilly water.
But when the dogs -- in this case, two black-and-white collies named Dehl (pronounced DEAL) and Coal -- were led by handlers to a cove where the mating birds had stopped to rest, the geese immediately flew off. They circled overhead, honking in protest. A few minutes later, the geese in the Meer were scared off by the sight of a collie in a kayak that had been paddled out to the middle of the lake.
''These dogs are highly trained herders,'' said Donald Marcks, their owner. ''Any dog could chase geese around the park and the geese would be scared -- more because the dogs would be a nuisance than anything else.''
But Mr. Marcks said that unlike other dogs, his collies would never harm the geese. In any case, the collies are kept under tight control by their human handlers.
Mr. Marcks, who wore blue jeans, brown cowboy boots and a black cowboy hat that crowned a head of long blond-gray hair, resembled an aging rock star turned gentleman rancher. His handlebar mustache and goatee were perfectly trimmed.
''All we're doing is playing with several thousand years of predator-prey interaction,'' he said, looking into a row of television cameras.
Last week, before the Central Park Conservancy brought in Mr. Marcks and his company, Geese Police Inc., to rid the park of geese, 300 of the birds had made the park their home, a tenfold increase during the past three or four years, said Douglas Blonsky, president of the conservancy, a nonprofit organization that manages the park for the city.
About 150 of the geese had been living in the park year round rather than migrating, as geese habitually do.
But after three days of dog patrols this week, Mr. Blonsky said, the number of geese dwindled to about half a dozen. A team of four collies will be in the park for the rest of the month and will probably return in the fall, he said.
Known for their ferocity when protecting their turf or their young, the park's geese have been chasing ducks and other birds away, Mr. Blonsky said. They also have the potential to contribute to erosion and to the fouling of the lake by the sheer volume of their dung.
The geese spend most of their time at Harlem Meer, which mimics their preferred habitat -- a body of water surrounded by short grass. At night, they venture south to two of the park's jewels: the Sheep Meadow and the Great Lawn. In those places, park officials take great pains to protect the grass, restricting large gatherings and most sporting activities. Mr. Blonsky said geese grazing and droppings could quickly overwhelm the grass.
Parks officials said that before turning to the dogs, they tried a variety of options: education campaigns to stop people from feeding the geese; letting the grass grow taller to disrupt the birds' eating habits; building fences to confuse them and try to limit access to certain areas.
However, Mr. Blonsky said, ''it was not enough to discourage the geese.''
Border collies are used in such cases because they have been bred as herd animals and are able to frighten geese via ''the stare,'' a particular look and stance that leads geese to conclude that the dogs are predators, according to park officials.
Sometimes the geese allow themselves to be corralled by the collies before flying off; at other times they fly away when they see the dogs coming. By contrast, geese quickly lose their fear of human scare tactics, like shouting and arm waving.
Adrian Benepe, the city's parks commissioner, said that so far no one had objected to the treatment of the geese.
''The geese are not being hurt. They are being harassed the same way they harass animals that get in their way,'' he said. ''We haven't had any complaints, but this is New York and it's still early.''
Several hours later, after the demonstration had ended and the dogs had gone, the geese had returned. In pairs, they ducked their heads into the water, eating aquatic plants, and soared above the Meer, honking noisily.

Rick Porcello came up a little short when it was his turn Tuesday.
Two days after Scherzer struck out 15 batters in seven innings, Porcello couldn't escape the sixth inning as the Detroit Tigers fell, 5-3, to the Cleveland Indians.
The loss spoiled a chance at winning back-to-back games for the first time since April 15-18.
A week after Leyland said both Scherzer and Porcello needed to step up after a string of poor starts, Porcello gave up five runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
It's the third straight start Porcello has failed to pitch more than 5 1/3 innings.
And, it appeared Porcello battled the same issues that plagued him in his last start when he allowed six runs and six hits last Wednesday, throwing 100 pitches in four innings.
It was the third straight start that Porcello has given up a first-inning run and has now allowed 15 first-inning earned runs in nine starts this season.
The loss pushed the Tigers four games behind the AL Central-leading Indians, who snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Tigers by limiting them to six hits.
The Tigers mounted a ninth-inning rally after Ramon Santiago drew a one-out walk and Andy Dirks lifted a base hit over to center off Cleveland closer Chris Perez.
But with runners on first and third, Miguel Cabrera took a called third strike and Prince Fielder hit into a game-ending grounder to short.
"We really couldn't have got into a better situation," Leyland said. "We had the guys up there that we wanted."
Despite drawing six walks off right-handed starter Ubaldo Jimenez, including three by Cabrera, the Tigers could only muster five hits -- stranding 10 runners on base.
"We hit the ball better than our production showed," Leyland said. "We hit some balls pretty hard, but we still didn't score."
The Indians struck early in the first after Asdrubal Cabrera doubled off the left-field wall at Progressive Field to score Jason Kipnis for a one-run lead.
The Tigers responded in the second when Alex Avila sent an Ubaldo Jimenez fastball over the right-field wall to score Brennan Boesch and Jhonny Peralta.
It was the first homer Avila has hit on the road this season after batting .136 on road with three RBIs and 15 strikeouts in 44 at-bats.
"It got us going a little bit, but they just kept nickel and diming Rick," Leyland said. "Every other inning, they just kept getting a run. You have to be to shut it down a little bit."
Tied at 3-all, Casey Kotchman battled a breaking ball that fell in shallow center to score Michael Brantley, who served as the go-ahead run.
"Give them credit -- they got some big hits," Leyland said. "We didn't get any hits like that, but that's to their credit."
The Indians added to their lead when Brennan Boesch couldn't come up with a shoestring catch on Jose Lopez's ever-moving liner that scored Kotchman. Leyland was under the impression Boesch lost the ball in the lights.
Travis Hafner had two RBIs for the Indians, who hadn't beaten the Tigers since Aug. 10 last season.
"We just didn't muster enough runs," Leyland said. "We had a couple opportunities, we just didn't do that."

The first wave of Zappos workers to occupy the company's new headquarters in downtown Las Vegas showed up Monday morning.
But, like any Zappos function, it didn't really feel official until a member of the Camelidae family showed up for the dance party.
It was obvious this party was special, even for Zappos, because the llama wasn't even the star attraction. It shared the spotlight with Jabbawockeez dancers, a robotlike rolling greeter and an attempt to set a world record for ribbon cutting.
"We've made a lot of moves and changed states throughout the last 14 years," Fred Mossler, one of Zappos' earliest employees, told the crowd of about 1,500 at the former city hall building that is now the online retailer's new base. "Today, we feel like we are finally home."
The crowd of Zappos workers, local politicians and area business people were jammed into the plaza outside the old city hall council chambers.
Walkways ringing the plaza were also crammed with people, while others peered down on the spectacle from windows in the 10-story edifice built in 1973 and renovated to accommodate as many as 2,000 Zappos employees.
The party was the culmination of anticipation that had been building since December 2010 when the company announced plans to move from Henderson to downtown Las Vegas.
With the city building a new city hall on Main Street, then-Mayor Oscar Goodman and the City Council sold the rundown city hall to developer Andrew Donner's Resort Gaming Group, which leased it to Amazon, Zappos' corporate owner, for use as a new headquarters for the online retailer.
In addition to the city hall deal, Donner's firm and Zappos have options to buy about 10 acres across Las Vegas Boulevard for about $9.3 million, a price that is set to escalate 6 percent annually every year they don't exercise options.
The deal is seller-financed, meaning Donner's firm will pay the city directly for the real estate.
According to terms provided by the city, the closing comes with a $3 million initial payment. Interest-only payments of $600,000 annually will start in 2014 and go through 2028.
In 2029, the payments increase to $1.4 million and continue through 2043, with the total interest and principal amounting to nearly $34 million to the city.
Zappos and Amazon invested about $60 million in the renovation, which began last year and finished on time and under budget.
But the event Monday didn't cover deal points or construction timelines.
It was strictly a celebration of the long-anticipated arrival of Zappos, the capstone of Goodman's effort to revive downtown.
The new headquarters sits squarely in a neighborhood enjoying an influx of small businesses, artists and technology entrepreneurs, due in no small part to Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh's personal investment in the Downtown Project, a $350 million urban renewal venture.
"The seeds of those things already existed before we discovered it," said Hsieh, before the assembled crowd cut a mile-long ribbon wrapped around the plaza. "It is just really exciting to see all this momentum coming together."

The collar is the rear of the head, forward of the gills. Locally, you can find yellowtail collar at Waraji. Yellowtail is not a tuna. As tuna are caught off NC, I'm hoping to find it and cook it at. I'd hope to find it fresh or frozen.
I've reached out to the two local Community Supported Fisheries and Earp's. I'll post what I find out here. In the meantime, if anyone has seen tuna collar, please post here.

Hi there,
Our house that we are purchasing was built in 1966. It is built well. We want to add a second floor and increase the existing square footage to double (2400 as opposed to 1200) and renovate the basement at the same time.
Thoughts on what makes more sense?
Thank you!
Use the same foundation and rebuild from there. Its faster and easier to bring it to code.
Anything you want is applicable most of the time but depend on your budget?
Cost to build a home addition vary from $200 per square foot on the cheapest end to $450 / sq. ft. or even more for custom top notch work. Accurate estimated can be provided only after analyzing architectural drawings with all technical details, calculating number of man-hours for completing the project and determining the total expenses for materials, fixtures and finishing products.
We have converted several single storey homes such as yours to 2 storey homes over the years. The cost is much lower than buying a newly built home since you already have the land and foundation in place.
Your property has mature trees, etc and usually a much larger lot than what you'll get with a new home. All of our past clients resided in their homes while we worked on their new living space, saving expensive out of home costs and inconveniences.
If you love your location (schools, shopping, work, etc.) then building on is the way to go. The least cost and fewest problems compared to moving and starting all over again.
Good luck!
Ace Renovations, Brampton.
Like mike from m&d building said once the contractor has all the architectural drawings with all technical details, man hours and material in place then if its not in your budget to do buh jobs then do one thing at a time that you can afford, as long as its code and have the right permits for the job, now if there is no budget and cost is not a problem then there should be not problem adding a second floor and renovating the basement at the same time depending on the contractor if he dose all that type of work you might have to have 2 different company ! i would do the second floor then do the basement as some times to add a second floor they need to add support in the basement to hold the weight of the second floor !! if you do the basement first then they might have to take down some work you had paid for to support the second floor then re renovate !

what do you think about this? yes,a seed oil,as are most or all high temp oils suitable for quick frying. i used it to stir fry some venison tenderloin rubbed deep with granulated garlic,sea salt and pepper. came out very well and the oil was quite neutral in taste. didn't seem to break down,but who can tell that without a lab handy? when frying,i want no taste from the frying medium. i like ghee for that reason. and hate coconut for the same reason. there was a coconut oil mentioned here that has no flavor. looked it up but forgot the name. i recall the add talked about it's use as a cosmetic,but no mention of cooking use. please inform me on that and-opinions,knowledge,ideas on sunflower oil. thanks.

Primary: To determine in healthy volunteers whether priming with a vaccinia HIV-1 gp160 envelope gene recombinant vaccine (HIVAC-1e) followed by boosting with one of two subunit recombinant HIV-1 envelope vaccines (Env 2-3 and gp120) provides enhanced immunogenicity compared to vaccination with the gp120 subunit vaccine alone. (Per 10/01/92 amendment, boosts with VaxSyn (gp160) were eliminated.) To evaluate the immunogenicity of one versus two priming doses of HIVAC-1e prior to a boost with gp120. To compare the relative immunogenicity of the three subunit vaccines when administered as boosters.
Secondary: To examine the safety of administering the individual subunit vaccines in combination with HIVAC-1e and the safety of administering the gp120 subunit vaccine alone.
In a previous study of candidate HIV vaccines, the evidence suggested that administration of a booster vaccination with a different vaccine preparation may produce a better immune response than administration of HIVAC-1e vaccine alone.

Two Milford Haven sailors have played their part in a multi-million pound cannabis bust.
Gareth Jones and Jonathan Hitchcock, marine engineers onboard Royal Navy frigate HMS Northumberland, were recently involved when two high-speed drug smuggling skiffs were intercepted in the Gulf of Oman.
The ships, carrying an estimated £5.4m of cannabis resin, were spotted during a routine patrol and the Plymouth-based frigate embarked on a 30 mile pursuit before intercepting them with her Merlin helicopter and combined Royal Navy and Marine boarding teams. Jonathan said: "Our involvement was crucial due to the fact the seaboats were kept at a high state of readiness and we were on constant alert to launch the seaboats and carry out our final machinery and safety checks to allow the boarding teams to have confidence in their pursuit of the drug smugglers."
While in pursuit of the smugglers around 60 bales of drugs -almost 1,500kg - were thrown overboard and seven were recovered and found to contain pure cannabis resin. Commander Johnny Ley, Staff Operations Officer on the UK Maritime Component Command said: "The air in the operations room here as we followed Northumberland's pursuit in real time was electric. When the skiffs were intercepted there was a buzz and a real sense of a job well done."
HMS Northumberland is operating under the banner of Combined Task Force 150, one of three task forces coordinated by the international Combined Maritime Forces, with the aim of defeating terrorism, preventing piracy, stopping the illegal trafficking of people and drugs, and promoting the maritime environment as a safe place for mariners with legitimate business.
HMS Northumberland will continue on operations until returning in May. After eight months away, and Gareth and Jonathan are looking forward to spending some well deserved time with their family and friends, especially Gareth's partner Sarah and son Ethan and Jonathan's wife Staci and daughters Grace and Ruby.

nForce4 Ultra Roundup: Charting the Mainstreamby Wesley Fink on July 5, 2005 10:28 PM EST
- Posted in
- Motherboards
Processor ArchitectureAnother concern has surfaced in the last few months that should be a consideration for anyone shopping for an Athlon 64 motherboard - the processor factor. When we tested the nForce4 SLI boards, we used the 4000+ Clawhammer chip as our standard CPU. We also had done some testing with the early Winchester and Newcastle chips, which were based on the 90nm production process instead of the 130nm process used for Clawhammer. Overall, these early 90nm chips were mainly a die-shrink, and performance - and compatability - were much the same whether it be the Clawhammer, Winchester, or Newcastle.
Recently, however, we have some new choices from AMD in Revision E chips and dual-core. These new Revision E parts support SSE3, are based on the 90nm process, and they do not always behave as earlier chips did in the same motherboard. We saw this for ourselves in our Gold Editor's Choice MSI K8N Neo4/SLI. While we experienced outstanding overclocking with a Clawhammer chip, users with Venice/San Diego chips were experiencing perfectly miserable overclocking results. It has taken MSI some time to find a solution to this problem, but we are happy to report that a new BIOS has just been released that claims to fix the Venice issues on the MSI.
The point of this is that the newest Athlon 64 Revision E chips do behave differently than earlier Athlon 64 chips in some boards. This is likely a temporary concern as the market adjusts to the newest CPU architectures, but it is a factor that should be considered.
This becomes an even larger issue with the new Manchester/Toledo dual-core chipsets. The Athlon 64 X2 joins two Venice or San Diego cores on a single CPU. These Revision E X2 dual-core CPUs (the 4200+, 4400+. 4600+, and 4800+) generally will work in any Socket 939 board. However, you will certainly need at least a BIOS upgrade. Most of the major manufacturers have quickly brought the needed BIOS upgrades to market, but if you plan to run a dual-core chip, you need to check before you buy.
We approached these issues in this roundup by continuing our benchmarks with the Clawhammer-based 4000+ processor - to allow the greatest comparison to earlier motherboard reviews. However, we also checked each board with a Manchester 90nm 4200+ CPU. This required finding the latest BIOS for x2 support, which we have also listed in the Motherboard Features chart for each board. This tells you the earliest BIOS revision that has been said by the manufacturer to support the X2 dual core chips.
It should also be mentioned that AMD has implemented a hidden feature in Revision E processors, namely additional memory ratios that can be implemented in BIOS. As we had seen on the Abit motherboard in this roundup, a Revision E chip adds 433, 466, and 500 options to the available memory ratios. This has to be coded in the BIOS to be available, but the new asynchronous ratios are a feature of the Revision E Memory Controller. We identified 2 boards, the Abit and DFI, that correctly implemented this function with the Rev. E chips and included that information in the feature table.
The good news is that just about any Socket 939 motherboard can run dual-core, and every motherboard in this roundup had a BIOS very recently available to support AMD x2 processors. But you will more than likely need a BIOS update.
How to Update BIOS for Dual-Core if You Have Dual-Core OnlyThis brings up the nagging question that is always asked when BIOS upgrades are required for certain CPUs. What do you do if you have a board that needs a BIOS upgrade for dual-core and you only have a dual-core chip? We asked AMD this question and was given the following reply:
"If the BIOS you are working with (original BIOS in the board) supports a rev E single core (AKA... 90nm as most new boards should), it will allow you to flash the BIOS to a BIOS that supports rev E dual core. In my experience, a DC processor with single core rev E support will run fine, but only as a single core. If the BIOS doesn't support rev E (In other words, you may have a good board, but the BIOS is pretty old), you will likely need to install a pre-rev E (AKA-130nm) AMD processor to flash the BIOS.
I'm told that if a customer can't flash their BIOS, many mobo vendors will mail out the BIOS chip to them (if it's not soldered down, obviously)."

ChineseDemocracyGNR - Saturday, July 09, 2005 - link"If you looking to save even more money, the 9NPA, based on the nForce4 x4 chipset, has a street price of around $90. You give up the SATA 2 support and 1000 bus, but most of the performance features are still available in the same basic motherboard. "
I think you're talking about the 9NPAJ motherboard, which uses the nForce4 chipset and supports "2.0 GTs HT FSB". Reply

I agree with ChineseDemocracyGNR! To AnandTech:
No disrespect intended!
"Sorry to say, but i believe your statement is wrong".
The Epox Model # EP-9NPA+Ultra MoBo does support Sata-2 drives.
I don't know where you got that incorrect info.
Also, i'm not sure what you are refering too about your other statement about "giving up 1000 bus"? It supports 2000 bus.

TheGlassman - Saturday, July 09, 2005 - linkHTT's multi's were listed in the review.
I have confirmed that the Chaintech's 6-03 bios overclocks just fine with single core cpu's.
Phiro, I understand your point, and it is a good one.
For me Anandtech reviews are one of my primary tools for deciding what hardware to buy. I think it is the same for a lot of people. Anandtech has earned this trust. That is why this review is disturbing. The results do not match my experience. You might notice in my previous posts, that I have followed false trails trying to figure out why. I cannot explain why the Chaintech board (and others with experience with other boards) performed so poorly in overclocking.
The reason this is imoportant is that the final ratings follow the philosophy stated in the beginning, that a better overclocker is a better board, because the actual performance at stock speeds is equal.The application testing bore this out.
Us 'bleeding edge" guys are well aware of how very small changes can make a big difference in performance. The fact that the award winners were using bios's not available to the public ( I have just now rechecked) that are dated a few days after their most recent bios, (for dfi, a beta which carries no warrantee support, their last release bios (the one that will be on the board you buy) is dated in March), throws the final results into doubt. In other words they appear to be special bioses for this test.
In the past, Anandtech has been very forthcoming when using a beta bios, explaining why, and stating that the board maker will make it available, or the included features available in a release bios. This was not done, they were not even labeled as beta's.
When Anandtech labels a board as an award winner, it is giving it's seal of approval, that people such as your self and myself will factor in when making a buying decision. The truth is under your criteria, any of these boards will serve you very well. From the application tests, your decision should be based on a) a good match to your programs, b)features you need or think you may need, and c) price. Anandtech's recommendation is irrelevant.
Anandtech's "forum-bleeding edge" audience is larger than you assume in your estimate. The fact that you are looking at an nVidia board at all says you are very involved in you purchasing decisions, other wise you would let some one else handle it for you. "gimme something that works" would be your involvement.
Anand awards have been given to 2 boards that you cannot buy, or so far even upgrade, to "as tested".
Speaking for myself, computer hardware is hard to keep up with, and losing a rock like Anandtech will be a great loss. I hope that will not happen, but excellent sites do fall by the wayside if they slip too far. Reply
Phiro - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkI think Anandtech has their audience nailed down about 80% of the time - their one flaw is listening to their forums a little too much IMO.
Too many people have posted "oh what a dumb review we already bought our motherboards blah blah blah" - a GOOD example of not listening to the forums. If you're posting on the forums, you've probably been here for some time and you're in that 1% of computer users who qualify as "bleeding edge". Anandtech doesn't want to constantly address just the bleeding edge audience - as fun as you can be, you're 1% of the market, and for every right decision you make, you make wrong decisions.
To rip on Anandtech a little bit though, they do listen too much to the forum overclockers. The vast majority of users have NO interest in overclocking. 4% higher framerates isn't worth goofing around with voltages and installing a water cooling system. Reply
arswihart - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkI think its funny that so many people are now like, "Epox is the best" "they OC the best" "I'm gonna get one of those Epox NF4 boards that Anandtech reviewed". I have told you for months that Epox is nice, and to get the 9npa+, and great reviews have been floating around for a long while now. someof you take Anandtech's word as the word of GOD. That is hilarious and I guess its to be expected out of the mainstream audience that reads Anandtech.
About the 9npa+ and 9npa SLI, OFFICIAL dual-core BIOS's were just released today by Epox. Enjoy. Reply
TheGlassman - Friday, July 08, 2005 - linkGood question. It could explain the problems experienced with most of the boards. The chipset will run well over 1000 with no problem, but 1200ish will cause the boards various problems, usually a reset to a safe mode.
Peanya - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkHmm I wonder if they tried a 3x LDT multiplier on some of those boards. I'm thinking that's why the Abit wouldn't get past 250MHz. I've not only seen reviewers get well past there, but many users. Some brands automatically lower the LDT for you, whereas some do not. Was this taken into consideration? Reply
AtaStrumf - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkMOBOs have always been messy things to test, debug etc. The thing I hate most is changing the MOBO, because there are so many possible problems associated with it.
I do have one HUGE gripe with this roundup. You chose to test DFI's non SLI board as a control for SLI/Ultra boards, but that happens to be the worst possible choice. Why? Because, as you pointed out yourself, that is exactly THE SAME board, with just one pin on the chipset shorted/cut. For control you should have tested the worst case scenario, like a physically different board (just one PCIe 8x/different layout, feature set) possibly a newer revision. This brings us to the biggest problem with this kinds of assumptions and MOBO testing in general. Different versions, REVISIONS, bios', different memories, variable sample-to-sample MOBO quality, and now to top it off, different Athlon CPU revisions. I definately think you should not have made the assumptions that you did and should have tested ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE NF4 Ultra boards. They are afterall one of the biggest enthusiast MOBO manufacturers.
If you want to keep your reputation you should definately pay more attention to this sort of things. Don't rush so much! You don't have do a roundup, post individual board reviews and take more time with them. Like you did with the DFI! You should even get at least three samples of each MOBO from different sources and compare them in order to really be able to get reliable results. Forum posts from other people can be very misleading, because of all the variables and skills these people have. This would make you THE BEST ;-) As things stand now, you're pretty mediocre I'm afraid.
One typo I found:
Page 19:
Our past tests have shown performance of the AGP-8x and PCIe **688** Ultra to be virtually identical
Probably 6800 ;-) Reply
Viper4185 - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - link1) Wesley next time please can you post instructions of how to run memtest to determine the best tRAS rating for your memory. I emailed you in your last article and received no response. Yes, I am a n00b. Perhaps someone else can tell me :P
2) I have the same memory as you, how do I check if it is TCCD or TCC5?
3) You don't actually say which ethernet controller is better, the Marvell or the NVIDIA?
4) I think it was a big mistake for you to leave out the Gigabyte boards. For those that are interested in the Gigabyte boards compared to some of the above check out this review.
Otherwise good review, thanks Wes. Hopefully you can answer Q1-3 or someone else :) Reply
Jotequila - Thursday, July 07, 2005 - linkHum.... Chaintech VNF4-Ultra can reach 275+ FSb easily, there are so many users here that can say same thing as me....
There is something strange on the results, i can bet that other mobos on the round-up can reach high mhz too....
Look this:
Is with my chaintech, i think that you are cheating things here...

Minimizing Security Risks
TerraPower chose to develop the traveling wave reactor (TWR) because it presents an alternative fuel cycle that offers the most proliferation-resistant technology in the world with a reduced need for enrichment and no reprocessing. The TWR simplifies the nuclear fuel cycle, containing it within the core of the reactor. It requires no chemical reprocessing capabilities and eventually no enrichment capabilities. This eliminates key points that traditionally provide opportunity for proliferation.
- Forgoing enrichment and chemical separation eliminates the main diversion point of weapons-usable material from the fuel cycle. The TWR's starter fuel is low enriched (less than 20 percent) and is consumed in place as the reactor operates. All fast reactors being developed today, except the TWR, require reprocessing.
- Eventually, the TWR eliminates the need for enrichment. This replaces the initial need for U-235 and even further reduces the waste produced by a TWR.
- Like other reactors, the TWR's unique core reaction does produce plutonium, along with other fission products, in the first "wave" of fission. However, unlike other reactors, a second "wave" follows the first, consuming much of the plutonium. The core can be left closed for 40 years, reducing exposure of the assemblies to weapons proliferation.
- Most of the core is composed of depleted uranium (U-238), which is the waste product arising from the enrichment process. The ability to use depleted uranium and keep fuel assemblies inside the nuclear vessel greatly reduces the possibility of converting spent nuclear fuel into weapons. By using U-238 for its main fuel, the TWR removes the need to protect stockpiles of depleted uranium and the need for enrichment. U-238 is unusable for nuclear weapons without considerable chemical processing.
Removing enrichment from nuclear energy production allows a clear separation between countries pursuing peaceful uses of nuclear energy and those who are not. The TWR provides a secure technology capable of use by the global community, without the ability to produce weapons materials.

Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the leeks are soft but not browned, about 10 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat, and simmer until the leeks are tender, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Remove the soup from the heat and leave to cool slightly, then puree it in a blender or food processor. (Alternatively, the soup can be pureed in the saucepan with a hand-held blender.) Pour the soup into a bowl and leave it to cool. Cover and chill well.
- 3
Just before serving the soup, prepare the avocado. Halve the avocado and discard the seed. Scoop the flesh from the peel and press through a fine stainless-steel or nylon sieve. The avocado can also be pureed in a blender or food processor until smooth, adding a little of the chilled soup to thin the puree and make sure it is smooth.
- 4
Stir the avocado puree into the soup together with the yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro. Add seasoning to taste, then ladle the soup into 4 bowls. Float 2 or 3 ice cubes in each bowl (optional). Add slices of lime and cilantro sprigs. Serve at once. Serves 4.
How to make it
Healthy Cooking Tip
Do not add the avocado too soon — not only will it discolor slightly, but its flavor will mellow and lose its vital freshness.
More Ideas
- This soup is also good hot. Puree the hot soup with the avocado and stir in sour cream instead of yogurt.
- For a soup with a Mexican flavor, cook 1 or 2 seeded and finely chopped fresh green chiles with the leeks.
- For a simple no-cook avocado soup, blend 2 avocados with 2 cups vegetable stock, then add the yogurt and lime juice, and season to taste.
- To make vichyssoise, the classic chilled leek and potato soup, increase the stock to 1 quart (2 pints) and cook 2 peeled and sliced potatoes with the leeks. Omit the avocado, lime juice, and cilantro, and serve sprinkled with snipped fresh chives.
Plus Points
- Half an avocado provides one quarter of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B6 and useful amounts of vitamin E and potassium. Both vitamin B6 and vitamin E help the skin remain in good condition.
- Leeks provide useful amounts of folate, which is important for proper blood cell formation and development of the nervous system in an unborn baby.

Denver wants to increase car-sharing
DENVER — Denver is considering plans to offer more parking spots to increase car-sharing in the city.
A handful of companies have been offering car-sharing for a few years, with about 60 cars currently in operation. The programs allow people to rent cars by the hour or minute and not use their own cars to get around town.
The city is looking to make it easier by reserving on-street parking for the vehicles throughout Denver.
According to the Denver Post, opponents say parking is already scarce and adding dedicated parking places would only make it worse.

by Doug Pappas
Continuing his series on the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, Doug Pappas looks at the ins and outs of MLB scheduling.
June 3, 2003
Doug Pappas starts his series on the new Collective Bargaining Agreement today with a look at Articles I-IV. Over the next few weeks he'll explore some of the key clauses in the CBA as well as some of the most important changes made in this latest edition.
May 9, 2003
Although the owners and players shook hands on a new collective bargaining agreement last August 30, the final version of the CBA was not published until this week. The eight-month delay becomes easier to understand when one looks at the document. The table of contents alone runs 11 pages; counting the attachments, the CBA itself is 223 pages long.
Over the next few months I'll be writing a series of articles about the new CBA. These articles will walk through the document from beginning to end, translating the key points from legalese to English and discussing them in the context of past agreements.
April 25, 2003
Yesterday, Commissioner Bud Selig announced his intention to retire when his current five-year term expires on December 31, 2006. I'll believe it when I see it.
Selig claims never to have wanted the Commissionership. Less than a month after becoming Acting Commissioner on September 9, 1992--after leading the insurgency which forced his predecessor Fay Vincent to resign in midterm--Selig told Hal Bodley of USA Today that he planned to remain in office "two to four months." In December 1992, he assured Claire Smith of the New York Times that he had "zero interest in the job."
April 1, 2003
Doug Pappas takes Andrew Zimbalist to task for his latest ill-informed sputtering on baseball, and praises Commissioner Bud Selig's efforts to save the game.
March 31, 2003
Last year, I introduced a new measure of a team's efficiency: marginal dollars per marginal win. An article by Michael Lewis in the March 30 New York Times Magazine excerpted from his forthcoming Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, used my analysis to illustrate how Oakland gets so much more performance than other teams out of its low payroll.
March 21, 2003
Commissioner Bud Selig recently extolled Major League Baseball's place in the daily lives of millions of fans. This public affection for the game came just a day after the public finally learned the extent of MLB's cold-blooded plot to take the game away from many of those fans.
Last spring, MLB settled its lawsuit with the Minnesota Twins' landlord within days after being ordered to produce sensitive internal documents relating to contraction. Some of these documents have now been leaked to the press. As this Newsday article, and others like it, show, just months after MLB's hand-picked Blue Ribbon Economic Panel had concluded that contraction was unnecessary, high-ranking MLB executives had begun a yearlong process of identifying which teams should be killed.
March 11, 2003
In the first part of this survey, BP authors were asked to comment about the game off the field--labor, economics and the Expos. The final survey question asked our respondents to take the Bud Selig Prediction Test.
March 4, 2003
For the past seven years, I've surveyed the members of the Society For American Baseball Research's Business of Baseball Committee about issues relating to baseball labor and economics, publishing the results and a cross-section of the comments in the winter issue of the Committee's quarterly newsletter. With a new CBA in place and the Expos still in limbo, I decided to survey my fellow Prospectus writers, too. Unlike the usual Prospectus roundtable, no one saw or commented on anyone else's answers.
BP writers who responded to the survey included Jeffrey Bower, Will Carroll, Gary Huckabay, Rany Jazayerli, Jonah Keri, Doug Pappas, Joe Sheehan, Nate Silver and Derek Zumsteg. As you'll see, our views are far from monolithic.
February 19, 2003
Whenever "competitive balance" is debated, the debaters inevitably turn to published information about team payrolls to support their positions. This sounds straightforward. Unfortunately, "team payroll" is a fluid concept. The four most widely reported measures each use different methods and can lead to different conclusions.

Last week, Major League Baseball's owners unanimously approved Commissioner Bud Selig's proposal to give the league that wins the All-Star Game home field advantage in the World Series.

Fact: DuPuy exaggerated MLB's operating losses by at least 22%.
The Baseball America website
features transcripts of lengthy interviews with the protagonists
in the current labor dispute:
Bob DuPuy,
MLB's president and chief operating officer, and
MLBPA head Don Fehr. Editor Alan Schwarz sat down with each man for an hour, asking tough questions and following up as appropriate. Each transcript runs over 6,500 words.
Unfortunately, not all of those words are accurate.
While both men used the interview as a forum for presenting their positions
to the public, one went further. DuPuy made several unambiguously false
statements about the economics of Major League Baseball.
April 26, 2002
Selig insisted that liabilities under the 60/40 rule have always included the value of salaries for future years, and any suggestion to the contrary was "just bullshit."

Add Forbes to the ever-growing list of those who don't believe MLB's cries of poverty.
March 20, 2002
The second week of March may have marked a permanent change in Commissioner Bud Selig's status. He's no longer simply an incompetent, lying, permanently conflicted embarrassment to an office once held by judges and senators. Unless the owners who hired him wake up in time to stop him, Czar Bud will have become an active threat to their own wallets and a walking advertisement for the repeal of MLB's anti-trust exemption.

Georgians vote in key test for Saakhashvili
Georgians are heading to the polls for parliamentary elections expected to be the biggest challenge for president Mikhail Saakhashvili since he came to power in 2004.
The western leaning leader's ruling party is facing an unprecedented test from an opposition coalition, largely funded by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvilli.
The opposition says Mr Saakhashvilli has turned increasingly authoritarian during his rule, but supporters praise his government for dramatically reducing corruption in the country.
Mr Saakashvili says the fate of the ex-Soviet state is about to be decided.
"It is a day of historic importance for Georgia. The fate of the Georgian state is being decided," Saakashvili said after casting his ballot at a polling station in Tbilisi.
"It is being decided whether or not Georgia always goes forward, never returns to the past, and whether future generations live in a better country."
He cast his ballot accompanied by his Dutch wife Sandra Roelofs and his young son Nikoloz.
"We expect good results for reforms, for democracy, for freedom and for the future of our country," he said.
The last two weeks of campaigning were dominated by protests over abuse in Georgia's prisons, after a video showing guards beating and sexually assaulting prisoners was broadcast.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Now that the months of extensive prep work are out of the way, the Rays are ready for a busy first night of the draft.
With three of the top 42 picks — and six in the top 100 — the Rays will have options and opportunity to bolster their farm system. They tend to like pitchers with significant potential and athletic position players, but as usual they are saying they are open to anything and not saying much more about it.
Florida high school pitchers A.J. Cole (Oviedo HS) and Karsten Whitson (Chipley HS) have been popular names linked to them in mock drafts, as have outfielders Josh Sale (Blanchet HS, Wash.) and Delino DeShields Jr. (Woodward Academy, Ga.), son of the former big-leaguer.
"As a scouting director and a scouting staff, you're kind of (rubbing your hands together) 'cause you get more opportunities," Rays scouting chief R.J. Harrison said. "But it's a different challenge from what we've had in the past."
The Rays have the extra picks this year because of what they didn't get last year: additional "same-slot" compensation picks at No. 31 for not signing first-rounder LeVon Washington (back in the draft and not expected to go nearly as high) and No. 79 for not signing second-rounder Kenny Diekroeger (starred as a Stanford freshman and is not yet re-eligible to be drafted).
Plus, they get the No. 42 pick for the "loss" of free-agent catcher Gregg Zaun, who signed with the Brewers.
Of note, there is no further compensation if the Rays don't sign the No. 31 pick, meaning they are very likely to make a "safe" selection, perhaps with a predraft deal in place.
Times staff writer Joe Smith contributed to this report.

KARACHI: Pakistan's Davis Cup coach Mohammad Khalid on Saturday said he was confident his team would win against New Zealand in their Oceania Group II match in Myanmar next week.
Pakistan have been forced to play their home ties at neutral venues since 2010, due to security fears in the country after gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team bus in March 2009.
That attack led to the suspension of all international sporting activities in Pakistan as teams refused to tour the country.
Pakistan requested the International Tennis Federation stage its tie in Myanmar, where Khalid feels grass courts will favour his players.
"Grass courts suit our players and I am confident that our team will win the tie," Khalid told AFP from Lahore, from where the team will depart on Sunday.
The tie will be played from April 5-7 and a win would give Pakistan the chance to play the group semi-final in September against the winners of the other second-round tie between Thailand and the Philippines.
Pakistan will be represented by top doubles player Aisam-ul Haq Qureshi, as well as Aqeel Khan, Yasir Khan and Mohammad Abid.
Khalid hopes Qureshi continues his latest form, which has seen him through to Saturday's doubles final at the Sony Open in Miami, where he is partnering Dutchman Jean-Julien Rojer.
"He (Qureshi) is playing well and that's a good sign for us, and besides that other players have also prepared well," said Khalid.
New Zealand beat Pakistan 3-2 in their last Davis Cup meeting in 2010.

Clad in a hot pink koala tracksuit, host Rebel Wilson kicked off the 2013 MTV Movie Awards with a bit of her raunchy humor (highlights include refering to North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un as Lil' Kim; showing off her notecards featuring pictures of Channing Tatum's butt; and renaming Game Of Thrones to Dragons And Titties), and some help from her Pitch Perfect castmates. (The cast of the musical comedy performed a mashup of "Thrift Shop" and "Girl On Fire.")
Presenters included Melissa McCarthy; Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saladana from Star Trek Into Darkness; Amanda Seyfried and Steve Carrell; Snoop Lion & Ke$ha (who shared a smoke onstage); Game Of Throne's Peter Dinklage; the cast of Fast & Furious 6; Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Danny McBride; Kerry Washington; and Brad Pitt.
Jamie Foxx (who was nominated for four MTV Movie Awards) took home the 2013 Generation Award, and Will Ferrell kept the audience laughing during his acceptance speech for the Comedic Genius Award. But it was Emma Watson (who will always be known as Hermione Granger) who made everyone fall in love with her again when she was honored with this year's Trailblazer Award.
"Watching the video clip of my work showed me most importantly how bad my hair was in the first Harry Potter film," the 22-year-old actress joked during her speech, "but the cool thing is you have supported me in all of my awkwardness and helped me grow into the actress and person I want to be. I was the eager beaver in school, the first to put her hand up, which is often not cool, and I was teased mercilessly, but I have learned if you put your heart into something amazing things will happen. I promise to keep making the best work I can for all of you.''
The awards show may be abut the best in movies, but the night also included some musical performances. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis performed their new single "Can't Hold Us," and Selena Gomez followed it up later in the show with her song "Come And Get It."
Viewers also got a sneak peek of two sure-to-be blockbusters: Iron Man 3 and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. You can check out both the clips below.

Industry Description
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of Registered Nurses (RN) is expected to grow 16% from 2014-2024, faster than the average for other occupations. The median pay for an RN in 2016 was $68,450or $32.91/hour. Retirement of a large number of "baby boomers", chronic disease management, and longer life expectancies are all factors in the ongoing national shortage of nurses. In the future, more focus will be placed on preventive care, patient education, and community management of chronic diseases and nurses are essential in this objective. All associate level RNs are strongly encouraged to pursue further education in nursing to at least the Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) level to provide the most effective evidence-based nursing care in this ever changing healthcare environment.


text: Media scanner usually starts running on my phone when I delete/ edit files. Before the upgrade, it would run briefly then stop. Since upgrading to 2.2, media scanner runs at random and won't allow me to open my gallery. Does anyone know how to stop a media scan and what triggers it? Also, I've been trying to clean up my gallery by deleting old pics that have already been uploaded. Any time I try to delete pics it takes forever (Not just a few minutes, I mean like 30 plus minutes until I close the gallery through task manager). Anyone having these issues?


text: Well ive been keeping this up my sleeve for a while as i was waiting till i had fitted them, but its not happening soon enuff just now. So ive went for the pics of the new wheels i have................. Think its a first for an Audi overall, never mind on an A4 B5 I'll let the pics do the talking first....... Front Rear Wheels are TVR Spiders, 8.5x18. They are not staggered in size, but the offset differs from front to rear and helps the look to be staggered! Fronts are et42, rears et33. Test fit shows them to sit flush with wings, ideal looking stance without spacers and such. Currently have 225's on the RS 8j wheels, so i think im going for 215's for these wheels, just to be safe for clearance on arch. They will be getting full works, powdercoated (anthracite) then new tyres fitted when i scrape up the cash, hopefully soon.

New 'Polar Vortex' Causing Travel Problems Across the Country
It seems like another polar vortex is ready to cause problems for a lot of people around the country.
A blizzard hit North Dakota, causing drivers to have a hard time.
High winds and heavy snow are expected to stick around through most of the week.
Bismarck could pick up another inch of snow this week, but that inch of snow could drastically lower visibility on the roads.
The northeast is bracing for this storm.
So if you've got a flight scheduled to head back east this week, you might want to call ahead and double check your status.
Anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 have been cancelled because of winter weather.
That's according to flightaware.com.
Parts of the northeast are expecting 6 to 10 inches of snow, and a winter storm warning has been issued in New York, effective through Wednesday morning.

HairDini Infomercial
Had a Run-in With the Hair Police? You Need HairDini
If you aren't aware of the HairDini, that's just criminal. The hair gadget company has been producing supremely goofy infomercials for years, and its "Hair Police" ad is pure comedic gold. I don't know whether it's the announcer's voice or the incredibly shiny French twists showcased, but now I'm feeling strangely compelled to create a huge, overly complicated bun. Check out the video and tell me if you're suddenly in the mood for a little hair magic, too:

this is my left ear after getting it pinned back to match my right ear the left ear stuck out a lot more and had flat cartilage. As you can see it looks a lot different to my right ear i think the middle part of the ear is pinned back to much as you can't see the helix of the ear i know you still got a wait awhile but i can't see this getting better with time?
3 Weeks After Pinning Back of Left Ear? (photo)
Doctor Answers 6
Unilateral otoplasty and perfect symmetry
are quite difficult to accomplish. The primary goal, if you were my patient, would be to simply diminish the protrusion so it did not draw unwanted attention. Regardless, 3 weeks is too early to judge your results and your ear will relax with time and your results will be closer to the opposite side. If they really are off, you should discuss this with your surgeon when you have your post-op photos taken and if obvious, an honest surgeon will acknowledge it and present options for you to consider, possibly at more cost to you.
Unilateral Ear Pinning
Unilateral correction of prominent ear deformity will be different from the other side, and the repair will relax with time. You may be very happy at 3 months. Kenneth Hughes, Md ear pinning surgery Los Angeles, CA
Unilateral Otoplasty Asymmetry
Your concerns are common after a unilateral otoplasty. Many surgeons overcorrect the protruding or prominent side as they can have a tendency to spring back with time. Address your concerns to your surgeon but, please be patient. 3 weeks could be a bit early to be thinking about revisional surgery. If you still have the asymmetry at 3 to 4 months then, request your options from your original surgeon. If you are not satisfied consider a second option from a local ASAPS member. They are experts in corrective Cosmetic Surgery. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS

Overcorrection of middle third of ear at pinnaplasty/otoplasty
This is unfortunately a known complication of correction of ears. Whether it will improve or not will depend on the technique use to correct your ear. However, it will be reasonable to wait for a few months to see how it settles first.
If you are still unsatisfied after six months, please post some new photos and also try to find out what technique your surgeon used.
Overcorrection After Otoplasty: A Common Finding Which Improves With Time
Thank you for your question and photos. It seems from the photos that your left ear is overcorrected at this time. It is necessary to overcorrect to some extent in an effort to match the ears. This is due to the fact that the corrected ear will come back out to some degree in the first 3 to 6 months after surgery. If sutures were used to create a better ear fold, the fold will soften and become less prominent. If the central third of your ear was simply set back, the cartilage will tend to spring back out over time, making the helix more visible. At this point, I would sit tight, stay calm, and consult with your doctor. At six months if there is a significant difference, under local anesthesia, your doctor may be able to release a suture or two and assist. Best wishes!

Hopefully, your surgeon did not tell you they would be perfectly symmetric, as that is impossible. That said, it is still way too early. It is necessary to over tighten the newly created antihelical fold (middle third). The extent of the over correction depends on the technique used, but it will soften over the next several months (the exact time frame depends on the technique and type of sutures used). Fortunately, the conchal bowl was not over trimmed which is a common mistake that is difficult to correct. Hang in there. It's going to look great.

Last month, PepsiCo Beverages Canada, Mississauga, Ont., unveiled what's said to be North America's first soft-drink bottle made from 100% recycled PET. The 7UP EcoGreen bottle is significant because, according to PepsiCo, "Creating a bottle from 100% recycled plastic for soft drinks is more challenging than creating a bottle for non-carbonated beverages because of the stress on materials from carbonation pressure." Currently, PepsiCo averages 10% RPET in its soft-drink bottles in North America, a level said to be the highest in the industry. Getting to 100% RPET took three years of R&D. The 7UP EcoGreen bottle will be produced in multiple PepsiCo plants across Canada. The new bottle will be available in all 7UP and Diet 7Up package sizes beginning this month. It will cost slightly more to produce, but PepsiCo does not plan to charge extra for its products.

Drought-stressed forages bring feeding challenges, including increased risk of nitrate toxicity.
When unconditioned cattle consume plants containing high levels of nitrates, the nitrate-to-nitrite conversion exceeds the ability of the rumen microbes to convert nitrites to ammonia, says Dick Wallace,
Therefore, consider testing drought-stressed forages for nitrate levels. Veterinary diagnostic labs or forage-testing labs can analyze this for you.
