This past Saturday, home side Lansdowne utilized an expansive approach as they displayed their best performance of the season. After a brief absence, Blake Mannion made a welcome return to the pitch and impacted immediately. In the 5th minute after a lengthy sprint, center Mannion fortuitously chipped ahead towards Man of the Match EJ Brutus, who emphatically slammed down in the corner. The conversion by Austin Purcell gave Lansdowne a 7-0 advantage. Four minutes later, the Connecticut out half slotted a penalty from in front of goal after several effective phases. In the 11th minute, the Yankees got to within 1 as a Lansdowne infringement gave the visitors another shot at goal. For the next 26 minutes, the match was played evenly as neither side was able to breach the opposition's defense. However, in minute 38, Lansdowne advanced into Connecticut territory and earned a shot at goal. Austin Purcell's conversion gave Lansdowne a 10-6 halftime lead.
Manus O'Sullivan and EJ Brutus led a rock solid Lansdowne defense in the 2nd half. The home side were able to control possession, thereby preventing Connecticut from making inroads. In the 46th minute, after several resounding phases, Blake Mannion touched down via a quick tap penalty. In minute 68, Austin Purcell linked up with Manus O'Sullivan, who offloaded to EJ Brutus. Winger Brutus weaved his magic and scored his 2nd try of the game. Just 2 minutes later, John Farrell broke free and galloped 40 meters upfield. Center Farrell offloaded to Austin Purcell, who completed the chain to John Giordano. Fullback Giordano flew 30 meters into goal and promptly touched down. Austin Purcell's conversion finished the numbers.
The "B" game was won by Lansdowne 12-0. Paul Antezzo opened the scoring by slamming down out of a ruck in the 6th minute. Dave Russell converted via a drop goal. In injury time, "Ageless" Gerry Powers galloped 40 meters into goal, thereby demonstrating to the young fellows the proper way to do things. Outstanding performances were also put in by Man of the Match Gary Eck and "Rampaging" Stephen Murphy.
Lansdowne practices are held every Monday and Wednesday at 7:00 in Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers. All interested players should come on down or contact the Club at any of the following: email email@example.com, phone hotline (914)584-4541, or website www.lansdownerugbyclub.com.

Aid and tax breaks help temper the sticker shock. But with government spending being squeezed, that sort of assistance may be less generous in coming years.

text: This World War I siege stemmed from German General Erich von Falkenhayn's edict to elicit major bloodshed from the French defense of the fortress complex around Verdun. German forces advanced quickly in February 1916, claiming Fort Douaumont and Fort Vaux after brutal subterranean melees. Despite coming within two miles of Verdun cathedral, the Germans called off their offensive in mid-July, and Falkenhayn was relieved of his position. The French retook their forts and pushed back the line, and by the time their forces ground to a halt in December, both sides were left with more than 600,000 casualties.

Back for a final review of the Fall 2011 season. For simplicity sake, I'm dividing this post into "finished" and "continuing" series. Series that have reached a definitive end (even if just for now) and don't have any rumor of possible continuation, are deemed "finished", and series like Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon and Guilty Crown, which are most definitely going to be continued, are deemed "continuing".
For "finished" series, this season I followed Shinryaku!? Ika Musume, Working'!!, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Ben-to, C³, and Tamayura~hitotose. Shinryaku!?, Working'!!, and Tamayura are all continuations from previous seasons or OAVs, while Boku wa, Ben-to, and C³ are original premiers. The more comedic series, Shinryaku!?, Boku wa, and Working'!!, offered a refreshing break in-between more action or character-driven series like Ben-to, C³, and Tamayura. But that's not to say the comedies didn't offer their own substance in way of character development or excitement. In general, the series I would like to see more of, and think there's a chance of a continuation are Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, C³, and Working'!! (I feel like there's still room for fresh material to continue the story of the Wagnaria crew). Ben-to and Tamayura~hitotose both reached logical, definite conclusions, and I'm satisfied with their endings. I'm almost apprehensive of asking for another season of Ben-to, as this may not live up the enjoyment of the first season (but I'm all for more Asebi, so I'd be willing to try it if it did get a second season). Shinryaku! Ika Musume, while amusing to me, is really a hit-and-miss sort of comedy style, and it's quite fortunate to have gotten this second season. I'm not hopeful for a third season, but if the hit-and-miss hits enough people to generate good revenue, enough to justify a third season, more power to them.
(I'm not used to giving ratings, but I'll see how this goes.) Overall, for "finished" series this Fall 2011 season, I'd give an 8.7 out of 10. A lot of the series, as stated, are continuations from previous seasons or OAVs, so they bank on previous success. But there was quite a good bit of excellent new material to give a nice blend of old favorites and fresh series to keep me thoroughly entertained.
On to the "continuing" series, Guilty Crown, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, and Gundam AGE. Ultimately, the only two I'm eager to see continue are Guilty Crown and Kyoukai Senjou, as they are the only ones to truly not make me cringe 90% of the time. Guilty Crown was poised to become the next Code Geass, but, as many other blogs will quickly remark, this just wasn't the case. Ohma Shu is no Lelouch Lamperouge. But I do admire the unique premise, drawing voids that take on form depending on the owner's heart is very interesting and I've been surprised to the individuality and applications of the voids Shu has so far drawn. While the main protagonist leaves much to be desired, the 11th episode, marking the halfway point of the series, shows him finally acting the part of the hero. My fingers are crossed that this will continue into the Winter 2012 season. Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon also broke it's pre-determined impressions, as many, including myself, spent much of the series wondering what was going on. While normally this would be considered a minus for a series, Kyoukai Senjou pulls it off in such a fashion that makes me overlook the confusion and enjoy it more so now that everything just seems to be happening in a way that makes me happy to understand. While this is a confusing idea to some (trust me, I'm still wrapping my head around it), I'm still looking forward to the second season, announced to air in 2012. Finally, there's Gundam AGE, my most disappointing series this season. Not that there's inherently anything wrong with it, but if you've seen other Gundam series such as Gundam 00, Gundam AGE seems to spit in the face of previous success. The character designs are very childish, as is the dialogue, and I've never found myself rooting for the bad guys because I can't stand what they did to the Gundam design. I've really only continued watching because, steadily, AGE is recovering ground inch-by-inch. Supposedly this series is going to span three generations, i.e. Flit's son and grandchild eventually become the focus. I'm hoping for Flit to leave the cockpit soon, I honestly can't stand the thought of someone as generally annoying as that child piloting (what is, in my opinion) one of the greatest machines ever imagined.
Rather disappointing "continuing" series, compared what I expected going into Fall 2011. My rating is a 7.0 out of 10. Passable because the tail-end of the season sees some remnants of what I hoped for going in. For Guilty Crown's sake, Shu better man up or shut up, take a lesson from Dan the Man and use some "GUTS!". Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon needs to do nothing but continue the great plot movement of the last 4 or so episodes in the first season (I fear the first episode of the second season will be a recap of the first season, if anyone involved with this show is reading, please don't do this, just jump right back into the story). Gundam AGE…*sigh* just, stop ruining what I like about the Gundams. If Flit is going to lose, don't let it be because of something so simple as type-disadvantage. If Flit is going to whine, let someone else b**** slap him. And if the UE is an alien force, give them a good reason for attacking human colonies (may I suggest reading the Ender's Game series? very good example of extraterrestrial misunderstanding).
Next season has less in store (for me, anyway) than Fall 2011. I plan on following Kill Me, Baby! and Another for sure. As well as continuing Guilty Crown and Gundam AGE. There's a high possibility that I'll pick up others perhaps a few episodes in if I get good impressions and have the time.
Until next time,
– BeldenOtaku

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I know many people would say Christmas or Easter. I enjoy those holidays too, but I have a special place in my heart for Thanksgiving.
Let me explain why. As a child, Christmas was family time, but I could never take my eyes off the brightly wrapped presents under the tree. That's where my focus was much of the time. At Easter, everywhere I looked there were bunnies, and chicks and eggs. It was all about the candy. It was all my friends could talk about. All I thought about was chocolate.
I know turkeys dominate Thanksgiving, but growing up as a vegetarian, it wasn't part of our Thanksgiving day celebration. My mom made an amazing meal, but it was just an ends to a means. It was all about spending family time together.
Our whole family spends time together in the kitchen. We make a special bread recipe that belonged to my great-grandmother as our dinner rolls, my mom makes a fresh cranberry relish, my dad is toasting pecans in the oven for the salad, and working on a pie crust. He's the only one my mom will trust to make the crust. Now that I'm married, my husband Matt makes the homemade salad dressing and dreams up the ingredients for our harvest salad. I'm left cleaning what ever vegetable my mom wants to accompany her new and exciting vegetarian entree. My girls love to help get the pie ingredients ready for the pie crust grandpa made, and then watch it bake. They are delighted to say "We made the Pie"!
After we sit down at the table, my favorite part of Thanksgiving starts. We each go around the table and say what we're grateful for. It used to be my least favorite part of Thanksgiving as a child, but now that I'm older, I look forward to this time. I gaze around the table at the family and friends gathered and realize what a blessed woman I am. I know when I see those faces that God has been good to me.
As a natural pessimist, I could easily look back on this year and find all the negative things that happened. I could make a long list that include chronic illness, doctors visits and hospitalization. I could look at all the faces around the table and remember only the frustrating times.
Thanksgiving has always been my way of remember my blessings. I look for the good, I think of God's faithfulness in my life, I remember how my family and friends have supported me in every way. I remember all the hugs and giggles with my children. I remember the love and understanding from my husband and parents. I am grateful for everything. Even the struggles. Without the bad times, I wouldn't trust God this much.
This year, if you don't already, find some time to think about how blessed you are no matter your circumstances.
Blessings to you this Thanksgiving!
Much Love,

well yes there was luck or "the taxi variable" as I call it. And there was also the fact that we got lost on the buggy track because of a roadmarker that was missing. There was us and Fuzzy and Ad. So we were looking everywhere.. ... Read Moreand then when we went backwards it was there.. we inquired about it later, and got to know that apparently some local guy had moved it around..eh?? But it is edited from the show.
Ans 3 - I felt horrible.. I mean Amit and I were the fear factor team of The Amazing Race. haha! LOL Both of us were very strong only next to Henry and Bernie (who in my opinion were super strong!). A lot of teams were very happy when we got out cus we were one of the biggest competitors!
Ans 4 - were were sent to a resort.. its called sequester city. I cant reveal the place, sorry. I am bound by a 5 Million $ contract.
Ans 2-I was not rude, I was tired of the taxi driver driving us around for 2 hours in Chang Mai after he claimed he knew where we were going.. I was annoyed and confronted him with his lies! Yes, you can make me look rude with the 'crappy edits' because you did not see those 2 hours and the lies of the driver..He took us in opposite directions for more money or whatever.. god knows..
while you were sequestered who did you THINK would be eliminated next (just asking on your opinion on who you think came last next not the actual team let's not make you pay 5m lol) ? Ans 4-umm... I was sure it would be another very strong team, because the underdog always wins the race. And yes, one of the teams, I considered to be strong and intelligent, came next.

Was it public or chartered bus to Chiang Mai?So no rice harvesting? Yeah the looked for the clue in dark among buddha statues for the next bus to Chiang Mai. It was chartered. They actually came using the same buses from Khao San road. The 3rd bus to Chiang Mai carried 7 teams. We were right banzai! Now, about those yellow bags..... Oooooh!! Is Mai going to be the FLO of the season?? Wanted to quit after one leg??

15 hours ago, duckie says: BY SAM Sam Wu wrote at 10:34am hey duck, many people have asked us about the taxi incident, and here's the real story. When we got to Chiangmai, the taxi driver ran up to us and said "rice?". We didn't even tell him where we wanted to go, and it clearly wa... Read Mores obvious he knew we were racers and he knew where we had to go. So we thought he was a provided taxi driver, and if drivers are provided by production, then we don't have to pay for it. We didn't realise it was a PUBLIC taxi so we got screwed. Turns out - he took other teams there before us, so that's why he knew where to go exactly... It was both good luck and bad luck!
Here is my guess on why we see Natalie saying the "worst thing that can happen"....There is a good flight out of Chiang Mai to Saigon on 5/22 at 1440PM arr 1945. Teams that miss that flight are going to have to wait until the next morning to leave, and it appears that we will have some sort of 5/22AM task (Paintball?) for the racers which may delay them.A 24 hour Pitstop fits timewise, but does not fit with all the press about shorter rest times, a tougher and harder race, and I don't believe that happens here.I am thinking that these pictures are probably taken in the Chiang Mai airport as the columns and windows seem quite similar:leading me to think that they miss the 5/22 flight and must wait until the AM of 5/23 to fly out, not arriving Saigon until 1030. But are they the ONLY team to miss that flight? Maybe not.... Does it mean they are eliminated? Not necessarily. We have been told that several teams do not arrive to the clue until the afternoon of 5/23. If the spoiler info is correct, then a M/M team is eliminated in Saigon, and we will have the pleasure of Natalie and Pailin's company a while longer.
I don't think M/M team is eliminated in Saigon, Neena's statement is more reliable, right? After episode 1, all M/M teams were in the bottom 5... and we can't say yet that they're strong and intelligent... so there's a big chance that Henry/Bernie will be eliminated...

Probable Cause #62: Lucky, Or Good?
This article originally appeared in Aviation Safety, June 2006.There's something about the typical experienced-pilot's personality that is antithetical to safety. I'm not an expert in analyzing personalities -- though I know what I like -- but it seems the very traits that make someone a "good stick" also make that same skilled pilot a safety risk. Maybe it's the so-called "God complex" often attributed to surgeons who have risen to the top of their specialty. Maybe it's a blas� sense that, having seen and done everything in an airplane that's possible to do, nothing "bad" can happen. Maybe it's just an overdeveloped confidence in one's ability, the basic elements of which are almost mandatory for a pilot to possess. Maybe it's just luck. Regardless, too often the very self-reliance on which pilots can depend is also the trait that gets us into trouble. Those whose role it is to analyze aviation accidents and how psychology and human behaviors contribute to them sometimes boil all this down to "overconfidence." In turn, overconfidence can result from facing the same challenges before and emerging unscathed. Once the first corner is cut, pilots are truly on a slippery slope, unable to stop the slide to whatever fate awaits them. Over a period of time -- whether counted in years or flight hours -- overconfidence can breed contempt for rules, inevitably leading one to bend or break them. After surviving a few bent-rule flights, the idea that they don't really apply to you -- because you're so good, of course -- becomes the new norm. But what if all that skill and derring-do you believe got you through the earlier close calls was really just a dollop of luck? What happens when your luck bucket runs dry? Are you really that good, or just that lucky? There's no way to know how much luck we've been graced in our aviation careers. One thing's for sure: If we depend on it to complete flights, sooner or later our luck will run out. In the meantime, we can always draw on skill and judgment. On which would you rather depend?
BackgroundOn June 13, 2004, at about 0830 Eastern Time, a Beech Model 200 Super King Air was destroyed when it impacted Big Mountain, near Rupert, W.Va. The Airline Transport pilot and Commercial co-pilot were fatally injured. Instrument conditions prevailed near the accident site. The flight departed the Summersville (W.Va.) Airport (SXL) at about 0815, destined for the Greenbrier Valley Airport (LWB) in Lewisburg, W.Va., a great-circle distance of 31.6 nm. The flight's purpose was to position the aircraft to meet passengers for a Part 135 on-demand charter flight from LWB to Charlotte, N.C. An instrument flight plan was filed for the short flight, which was flown under Part 91, and an IFR reservation had been obtained for the arrival at LWB. This was necessary due to the FAA establishing a Special Traffic Management Program in conjunction with a large event at a nearby resort. The flight plan was never activated and no radar data was recorded for the accident flight. Instead, the crew was scud running its way to LWB, probably to avoid the lengthy process of obtaining an IFR clearance, climbing to a minimum IFR en route altitude and flying the approach procedure. Both crew members were experienced. The pilot-in-command had 10,400 hours, with 1500 hours in the same make and model and 2700 hours were in IMC. The co-pilot had accumulated 2910 hours, with 400 in the King Air 200; he had 175 hours in IMC. Lewisburg's field elevation is 2302 feet msl. The airport's reported weather, at 0822, included a ceiling at 2000 feet, placing the overcast at 4302 feet msl. At 0838, LWB's ceiling was at 1800 feet agl, placing the cloud bases at 4102 feet msl.
InvestigationThe King Air's wreckage was found at an elevation of about 3475 feet msl. A debris path extended about 500 feet, beginning with tree tops all sheared off at the same height, about 60 feet above ground. All major components of the airplane were accounted for at the scene and the wreckage was unremarkable. Research into the King Air's operator uncovered three previous "events," two of which involved Cessna 310s and resulted in fatalities. In the third, the NTSB found the accident King Air had been repaired for "... some damage when it contacted a tree while in flight ..." apparently while it was being flown by the accident pilot. The NTSB's report on this accident notes that the FAA inspector overseeing this Part 135 operation was aware of these prior events. However, the inspector failed to initiate any enforcement actions since, according to the NTSB, "... all of the accidents occurred under ... Part 91," and not when operating under Part 135. Regardless, a few months after this accident, the FAA suspended the operator's Part 135 certificate.
Probable CauseThe National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this accident as, "The pilot-in-command's improper decision to continue VFR flight into IMC conditions, which resulted in controlled flight into terrain. Factors were the FAA Principal Operations Inspector's inadequate surveillance of the operator, and a low ceiling." It's clear from the record that both the operator and the accident pilot had cut a few corners in their time. It's also clear that FAA surveillance and oversight of this particular Part 135 operator was inadequate. Whether by luck or design, no paying passengers were involved in any of the resulting accidents. Obviously, the history of this operator's and this pilot's apparent scud-running, and other questionable operations -- whether under Parts 135 or 91 -- calls into question their collective judgment. From the NTSB report, we can't tell if this corner cutting resulted from financial and competitive pressures or if this kind of pilot behavior was simply part of the operator's culture. We can, however, discern a clear willingness to bend and break various basic flying rules. What led to this kind of behavior? Was it overconfidence, some variation on the "God complex" or just a bad attitude? Could it have been a sense of entitlement, leading this operation to think it was well-skilled when in reality it simply had a bucket of luck from which it took too much? On your next flight, you get to be the judge.

[Caml-list] Why do input* and readdir throw End_of_file ... annoying!

|[Caml-list] Why do input* and readdir throw End_of_file ... annoying!
Dear OCaml users, I'm pretty convinced that having the input* functions and readdir throw End_of_file when they run out of data is wrong. Instead 'readdir' (for example) should be prototyped as: readdir : dir_handle -> string option and the functions should return None when they run out of data. Either that or alternative forms which don't throw exceptions should be available. The reason is it makes input* and readdir very hard to use since they are throwing exceptions in what is essentially an un-exceptional case (it's _normal_, not exceptional, to keep reading data until the end of the stream). Take a look at the attached code. I've wrapped up 'readdir' in a function which hides the annoying exception (or course, this is inefficient, but I don't have much choice). The code is reasonably easy to understand. Please someone show me the elegant solution to this problem which doesn't involve hiding the exception ... An alternative would be, like Perl, to provide alternative forms of input_line and readdir (in particular) which return a list of lines/names in a single go, rather like: my @files = readdir DIR; in Perl. (Another minor point - do I need to call closedir, or will the garbage collector do that for me?)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Performance Review and Frame Rating Update
Pricing, Testing Setup and why we aren't testing CrossFire
The details of the GTX TITAN graphics card and pricing have been quite the discussion based on the comments in our first article and the YouTube video posted on Tuesday as well. It seems the price tag of $999 has set quite a few people off knowing that in some cases the new GK110-based part would be slower than the GeForce GTX 690 and only modestly faster than the GTX 680 alone.
We obviously have a lot of performance numbers to look at before we can make those distinctions but there may be valid complaints there. Here is the pricing stack the cards we are testing today:
- GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB: $999
- GeForce GTX 690 4GB: $999
- GeForce GTX 680 2GB: $459
- Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB: $459
Testing Configuration
The specifications for our testing system haven't changed much.
|Test System Setup
|Intel Core i7-3960X Sandy Bridge-E
|ASUS P9X79 Deluxe
|Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 16GB
|Hard Drive
|OCZ Agility 4 256GB SSD
|Sound Card
|Graphics Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 4GB
AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2GB
|Graphics Drivers
AMD: 13.2 beta 5
NVIDIA: 313.97 beta (GTX 680, 690)
NVIDIA: 314.09 beta (GTX TITAN)
|Power Supply
|Corsair AX1200i
|Operating System
|Windows 8 Pro x64
What you should be watching for
- GTX TITAN vs GTX 680 vs HD 7970 - Does the new GeForce GTX TITAN become the fastest GPU on the market and by how much?
- GTX TITAN vs GTX 690 - From a single card perspective, how do the two flagship offerings from NVIDIA with $999 price tags compare?
- GTX TITAN vs GTX 680 SLI - A pair of GTX 680s in SLI will cost you about $930 so they are basically the head-to-head competition for a single TITAN.
Why are you not testing CrossFire??
One question I know will be asked about this review is that in our benchmarks today you will not see results from AMD CrossFire configurations in 2-Way or 3-Way combinations. AMD is only represented by a single Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition card while we are using both the GTX 690 dual-GPU card, GTX 680s in SLI and GTX TITANs in SLI.
Why the bias?
If you haven't been following our sequence of stories that investigates a completely new testing methodology we are calling "frame rating", then you are really missing out. (Part 1 is here, part 2 is here.) The basic premise of Frame Rating is that the performance metrics that the industry is gathering using FRAPS are inaccurate in many cases and do not properly reflect the real-world gaming experience the user has.
Because of that, we are working on another method that uses high-end dual-link DVI capture equipment to directly record the raw output from the graphics card with an overlay technology that allows us to measure frame rates as they are presented on the screen, not as they are presented to the FRAPS software sub-system. With these tools we can measure average frame rates, frame times and stutter, all in a way that reflects exactly what the viewer sees from the game.
We aren't ready to show our full sets of results yet (soon!) but the problems lie in that AMD's CrossFire technology shows severe performance degradations when viewed under the Frame Rating microscope that do not show up under FRAPS. As such, I decided that it was simply irresponsible of me to present data to readers that I would then immediately refute on the final pages of this review - it would be a waste of time for the reader and people that skip only to the performance graphs wouldn't know our theory on why the results displayed were invalid.
Many other sites will use FRAPS, will use CrossFire, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. They are simply presenting data that they believe to be true based on the tools at their disposal. More data is always better.
As I said, check on the last two pages or so this article for more information on this, and feel free to leave your feedback below!
I see Dirt 3 Graphs on the Crysis 3 page.
Man, that card is a BEAST. Look forward to reading more thoughts on it as you have more time with it! Great write up, Ryan. Thanks
TITAN is back for more! - Clarification - From photo provided, card offers 1 dual-link DVI-I and 1 dual-link DVI-D. For those using a DVI to VGA (Analogue) adapter would use the DVI-I.
Yes, various Analogue displays are still being used.
I do wonder about the performance of the TITAN in Stereoscopic Systems.
Well from what I'm seeing three gtx 680sc are better (faster) than two titans and I'm running 6000×1200 I could only afford two and with the limited quality of titan cards I think I'll pass...
meant to say limited quantity I'll be passing......
Indeed, while the fuckers are eVGA are eating their hamburgers over those shitty "SuperClocked" cards they ripped you off $20 each.
"Superclocking" is flashing the cards BIOS 50 Mhz over the stock clock and HOSING BLIND FUCKERS.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! 20$ WOW!!! they are robing people blind.....
Dude chill its just 20 bux i did it might as well.
But if you were to talk about the signature edition now then i would agree with you.
Finally a BF3 2560 x 1440 gtx 680 2gb sli benchmark. Do you think you'll bench the Titan against the 680 4gb versions?
BTW the temporary fix for CF stuttering is to either use Radeon Pro or MSI Afterburner to limit the framerate. If you are in a setting where you can get fairly consistent framerates at or above your monitor's refresh rate, you just limit the framerate to your refreshrate (60 in most cases). Otherwise, you limit it to around your average FPS.
It's not a perfect solution, but it does reliably deal with stutter on crossfire 7970s.
I'm so vindicated, and so disappointed...
" We aren't ready to show our full sets of results yet (soon!) but the problems lie in that AMD's CrossFire technology shows severe performance degradations when viewed under the Frame Rating microscope that do not show up nearly as dramatically under FRAPS. As such, I decided that it was simply irresponsible of me to present data to readers that I would then immediately refute on the final pages of this review - it would be a waste of time for the reader and people that skip only to the performance graphs wouldn't know our theory on why the results displayed were invalid. "
AMD sucks so badly, standard apologist mantra is issued.
This is the sub par life of AMD video cards.
They really suck, but our test that is more accurate than fraps shows that, so we will refute our own test and say they don't really suck, so we won't show you the pathetic cheaty runt missed frame data and PROVE AMD HAS BEEN CHEATING LIKE HECK FOR YEARS ON END!
Some of us always knew it, and always said it, and we were attacked relentlessly.
Well, let the attacks continue, as the cover up is still ongoing.
Maybe by now AMD has fixed their YEARS LONG ISSUES so a just cleaned up totally new result can be shown soon --- FORGETTING THE YEARS AMD USERS SUFFERED WITH THE AMD CRAP THAT WON'T BE SHOWN UNTIL IT IS "FIXED".
Then of course the bank robbers get off scott free.
Good job AMD, the Mob wishes it had that kind of pull, as does every politician in the entire world.
So, if you have $1k to power a 5760x1080 gaming setup, do you personally go with the Titan, 2x7970, 2x680 or a 690?
Where are the promised "TITAN up the graphics" quotes?
I am disappointed.
Your framerate rating method looks like the best.
Could you guysreview, as other user comment here suggests, the frame cap "fix" results?
Thanks for the great review
No 2560x1600?
No 690 sli in the sli results?
No answer to your first question, but to your second question, a 690 is technically already in SLI (it's two 680s SLI'd on one card)
I should have been more specific. By 690 SLI I mean quad-sli 690s.
I take it when they bring out a dual-GPU TITAN to compare against the 690s, it will be far better? Then you can test SLI for both dual-GPU TITAN and 690s. Will watch this space
Feels like the drivers for titan are premature, Ryan is this the kind of perforance Nvidia is expecting or are there upcoming driver enhancements for this card?
I'm not sure why this review justified a Gold Award at the $1000 price point. Sure, it's the best single GPU card you can get and the power/thermals look impressive, but the conclusion basically says that it's beaten in single screen setups by both the 690 and 680 SLI, which are the same price or cheaper.
I'm not convinced that the promise of better multi-monitor gaming performance gives it the Gold, especially since you guys have such a limited set of benchmarks for those setups thus far.
I'd still love to own one, but I feel like $899 would have made it a viable option, not $999.
How could $100 really matter in a card this pricey?
Your other point is fair, but I HAVE seen the 5760x1080 numbers and the potential perf advantage there is realized.
The people willing to pay for this card are going to buy it regardless if it is $999, $899, or $1099. There is a specific market for it, and it surely isn't the "best bang for your buck" target.
Heck, I bought a 690 just for the cool factor. I have the space on my board, and the 680s would have squeaked by a bit more in terms of performance. The 690 looked way cooler and I liked the idea of one day adding a 2nd 690. This card is really no different.
And by all means, you can still buy 680 SLIs if you want. Nobody is stopping you and nobody is saying that it isn't the right choice for you.
It's great to see some concrete frame rating data, but I feel like your presentation and analysis of it is a bit off.
Specifically, when you're looking at the distribution of rates, you're using a bar graph to try to help us infer the variance. Why don't you just show us a graph of the distribution of the frame ratings instead? I think visually it would be much easier to compare looking for a "skinnier" distribution with a smaller variance, and you can still mark up the distribution percentiles on it. I'm really curious to see how that might look with the crossfire data you showed, I would almost expect to see two 'mounds' on either side of the mean (although I could be wrong).
Also, your analysis feels a bit hollow, sometimes just reiterating what we saw in the graph without telling us what truly matters: do we care? Was there 'stuttering'? This is especially true since you can't just base it off of a % difference in the times across the percentiles. The actual time taken is also important, and it is also relative to the recorded FPS. All in all, what frame rate times actually mean to the end user isn't as black and white as "lower is better".
OR I'm completely clueless as to what's going on.
Anyways, it's still awesome to see some frame rating data and I look forward to seeing more in the future!
Appreciate the feedback, I'll look into that presentation option for data this week.
As for the analysis, I was kind of purposefully vague as I have a lot more data and compile to present the "whole" picture of CrossFire versus SLI.
Some games like Mechwarrior Online do not support SLI, so single GPU performance is still relevant.
It is relevant, but MOST games support SLI. Games that don't support it on release typically don't do very well. Take Rage, for example.
As for Mech Warrior... it is still in beta, right? It is using CryENGINE 3, right? I don't see it being a problem for too long, but I have been wrong before. After all, I pre-ordered Aliens Colonial Marines.
thank you, I appreciate the frametime graphs.
Could you test the TITAN against the GTX 680 4GB versions and the Sapphire HD 7970 TOXIC Edtion? It would be interesting to see how well a 6gb 7970 does against the Titan.
man you really went the extra mile on your frame time method. I second that it could be the best method so far. Great work. cant wait till your finally the point you can reveal all your findings. I know you put so much work into it. It seems very promising.

Can't wait for you guys to set your new benching machine.
No freebies anymore for GPUs, nor for game developers ;)
As you said on TWiCH AMD wasn't to happy with these results. I would expect that bit of an understatement. They made claims the 7970 Ghz was the fastest gpu on the market for a while, This new testing method kinda casts a major shadow on that claim if they are using so many "runt frames" to boost fps score's
As I understand it, the runt frames were a crossfire characteristic. The single GPU setup was fine.
This is all very interesting stuff about the frame rate analysis.
It seems to be the case that frame rate variance reduces as you test at more gpu intensive settings.
This suggests to me that the variance is being caused by cpu bottle necking. Amd's set up would appear to be more sensitive to these cpu bottle necks than nvidia's.
This also explains how the temporary fix of limiting the max frame rate on Amd set ups works as it is preventing rapid frame rates from causing cpu bottle necks.
Was wondering what clock speed the test platforms 3960 was running at and it you have tested how this frame time variance is affected by different cpu clock speeds?
This makes a lot of sense as (IIRC) a while back AMD actively pursued higher CPU utilization to lighten the GPU load and better balance to system resource utilization. Being more sensitive to CPU hiccups would be an undesirable side effect of such a pursuit.
I believe this is among the most vital info for me. And i'm
happy reading your article. However want to observation on few
normal things, The web site taste is great, the articles
is in point of fact great : D. Excellent job, cheers
Also visit my web site: pest control san antonio
Zoomed FRAPS frame time graph is not labeled properly.
Great review btw, specifically the page before the last.
Seriously? You're still doing this? Can you please give me one reason, just ONE reason, as to why I would want to play a game without Vsync and Triple Buffering? Because that is the only, and I repeat, the ONLY situation in which your "novel" and "state-of-the-art" method of benchmarking VGAs would be relevant to an actual real-life scenario. I'd nominate you for a Nobel prize if you do.
A little aggressive considering the topic, maybe?
Competitive multi-player games. Triple buffered vsync introduces significant amounts of input latency. Enough to detect in a blind test, and certainly way more than any display or input device a gamer would be likely to use.
This might not matter to you, but it does to plenty of other PC gamers. I found this article to be extremely valuable.
I kind of agree on Vsync, but frame buffering, probably not:
"1. If it is not properly supported by the game in question, it can cause visual glitches. Just as tearing is a visual glitch caused by information being transferred too fast in the buffers for the monitor to keep up, so too in theory, can triple buffering cause visual anomalies, due to game timing issues for example.
2. It uses additional Video RAM, and hence can result in problems for those with less VRAM onboard their graphics card. This is particularly true for people who also want to use very high resolutions with high quality textures and additional effects like Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering, since this takes up even more VRAM for each frame. Enabling Triple Buffering on a card without sufficient VRAM results in things like additional hitching (slight pauses) when new textures are being swapped into and out of VRAM as you move into new areas of a game. You may even get an overall performance drop due to the extra processing on the graphics card for the extra Tertiary buffer.
3. It can introduce control lag. This manifests itself as a noticeable lag between when you issue a command to your PC and the effects of it being shown on screen. This may be primarily due to the nature of VSync itself and/or some systems being low on Video RAM due to the extra memory overhead of Triple Buffering."
All valid points, but the question remains.
Does turning Vsync ON, fixes CF presenting issues.
If it does, is the performance of Vsycned CF in line when compared to Vsync OFF results.
Also does the system exhibits frame skipping like with RadeonPro "smoothing"?
And I'm not asking specifically about CF alone, but SLI and single GPUs also.
Testing with VSync would "optimize" the video output on either vendor. So, maybe if you did an article with it on and base it as a "quality" type of test.
Both cards would be outputting as best they could with the monitor output being as optimized as it can be in terms of timing the frames. Compare the high end cards on 10 or so games, and it gives you an idea of which vendor has the best "quality" of game.
As far as GPU testing, I wouldn't want to see it. I would want the game to run and output as much frames as possible with everything turned on, check the times, and see how bad the timing gets.
Why nobody is testing game performance with vsync ON?
Because vsync sucks, limits framerate and increases latency. Triple buffering even more so.
Vsync is the easy way to avoid getting set up correctly.
"For 1920x1080 gaming there is no reason to own a $999 GPU and definitely not this one."
That line is debatable, and all depends on how you game. I spend a lot of time with heavily modified Skyrim and that game gives my 7970 GHz a run for its money at 1080p. One particular setup I use (mainly for screenshots) kills that card, frequently averaging at 30fps.
This is shared in the Crysis 3 graph. Even the Titan struggles to max that game out at 1080p.
There certainly are reasons to own a Titan for 1080p gaming, provided you have the coin.
I am really liking the new charts and all except it is a little hard to read the names of the cards on the frametime charts. Would be nice to have a little bit of a larger font on those.
Well done
That's what I always say there is a problem on graphics cards that No transfers true FPS
Larger screens 46 "
If you test a card such this without using 3 hd screens you (in my opinion) missed the point.
What about GPGPU benchmarks? Is that still coming, or did I miss the article with them? But, thanks for the review!
With this test you become number 1 website !
I really don't understand the point of this card. I get it, it has lots of cores, but that isn't really reflected in any normal use. It would make sense for CAD type application, rendering video with GPU acceleration, folding, etc. As far as useability, it just seems like $1k of graphic card made for having a LOT of VRAM for high resolutions, but the price sort of makes it not "worth" that.
If I was reading the specs, comparing them to the 680/7970 and looking at those prices, I would find it really hard to justify the difference if you weren't looking at VRAM. Architecturally it has more "stuff", but isn't really a major shift.
680: 1536 cores @ 1000 MHz
Titan: 2688 cores @ 836-876 MHz
That gives you the same, less, or 10-20 AVG FPS more based on the charts (sleeping dogs being the example of above, dirt 3 isn't worth discussing because f/r is so high on these cards).
I don't really know where I'm going with this, but hopefully some amount of a point has come across. What on earth is this card for?
Ryan: Side note, is it possible to add a Blu-Ray or HD video render test with GPU acceleration on your benchmarks? It seems like something worthwhile to demonstrate when you having something like this where the product may be meant for uses other than gaming.
I just didn't see this the same at all. The 680 vs the Titan isn't even close. Other than being "single GPU", they aren't even in the same class.
This card brings a LOT of different stuff to the table, such as the new GPU boost, focus on acoustics (if that is your thing), and temp control. I thought the 690 was a big breakthrough, but the Titan probably impressed me more than the 690 did on release.
Game: AVG FPS(680 / Titan / 7970)
Crysis3: 30.1/41.6/30.6
Sleeping Dogs: 42/63.7/53.2
It depends on the game, but like I said earlier, it isn't about gaming performance at all. From what Ryan said on tekzilla the main point of titan is the actual physical issues behind it's fabrication and how THAT will be a big thing for the future of hardware or gives some insight or something.
I think it would be really interesting to see some BD decode testing.
Definitely the best Titan review out the PCPER! Excellent job guys! Frame Time analysis is invaluable!!!
What did you have your 3960X clocked at for benchmarks?
Wondering about Titan SLI scaling.....
Ryan can you please review frame-times in BF3 @ 5760x1080 with Titan, SLI, & 3-way SLI.
My currents 670s stutter with MSAA turned on even though vram not close to max.
Your frame-time review will be the determining factor if i get the Titans or not.
Wow - seems this site got big money from nvidia !
Did the same test they did and had no differences in framerate whatsoever for amd cf.
If you want to call me biased - go right ahead - I have pcs with nvd cards and pcs with amd cards - I don't care about the manufacturer, I only care about bang for the buck and titan is a huge bust - two 7970s (680$) outperform a titan (1000$), so for me there is no question about what to get.
Which DVI capture cards were you using?
... and where is my cheque NVIDIA!
Deltacast Delta-dvi
Great Article. Nice to see original thought and work in a tech Blog (instead of more useless fps number) .
The Titan has impressive performance, too bad the price is outta my reach :'(
BTW Anyone else notice that 7970GE is starting to kick 680 butt. AMD driver team is on a roll! However CF looks bad and they need to correct it, seeing as they have no single chip competitor to Titan.
@Ryan : To make things interesting, why not benchmark some games which are not as "popular", i.e driver optimized.
Also, in my (humble?) opinion your articles would be more professional(better) if you avoided superlatives and words like beast (so clichéd). They make refutation of bias harder.
Once again, great work.
@Ryan could you please block the ip of the rabid fan-atic. Really spoils the whole comments section...
@Anonymous : obvious troll. Not gonna bother replying. Sod off!
This business of runt frames significantly padding Crossfire's fps numbers is a huge story in the GPU world. There needs to be a major effort to expose the truth of this, whatever it is.
I agree wholeheartedly. If this is true in it's entirety it would destroy AMD's credibility in the multi-GPU realm. Before this, most people were in agreeance that for high res and multi-display configurations, AMD is the way to go. This would change everything.
I doubt that the new 3dMark is reliable. Maybe it's just created to boost Titan.
I did the benchies with GTX680SLI/i7-3930K/X79. In 3dMark11 I get about nearly P16000 @stock and +P18000 occed.
But in Firestrike:
GTX680 single: 6300
And it's not only my system, you can find these biased or faulty results easily.
So the 3dMark benchmark is a joke at the actual state and should not be used in a professional environment.
I'm not sure why but this site is loading very slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?
I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
Little bumed with your test???? this is a 2d surround card I am running 3 evga 680`s sc at 6000×1200 please let's see the real meat and potatoes people buying this card ( me) want to see ....well let's say three 680`s at 6000×1200 and two titans sli at same res that I think is all that really matters here rite? the 680 only having 2gb men must fail hard against two Titans with its 6gb the titan card is very specifically a hi-res surround gaming card I know you need to test everything but I think you should have started the other way around IMO..
I just spent a little over $1100 on 3 x 7970's and against my friends new Titan, I basically walk over him in all benchmarks.
Except that Crossfire is a sham. You get no better performance than one card. Read the article before spouting. And Tech Report and Hardocp. Runt frames a real disaster for Crossfire as they can be seen, measured, and exposed, unlike the fraps number which includes totally degraded frames in their fps number you rely on. Latencies have long been an issue with AMD cards and this clarifies in Crossfire.
Great work Ryan keep up the great work...by the way how do we support your site make donations !!!!! p.s I'm loving my tri sli titans this is the card I have been waiting for my hole life... been builbing systems starting back in the voodoo days finally 6000×1200 plays like butter nvidia is really something eh!!

Mayor's Office
The one-man play presented as part of the City's 11th annual Abraham Lincoln Birthday Celebration February 13 will air on 5 CITY-TV (government access cable channel 5) at 7 p.m. Sunday, February 20. "Abraham Lincoln Carved in Stone" is a 90-minute play written and performed by Chicago actor Richard Marlatt. About 500 people attended the play Sunday at Lincoln Southeast High School.
The celebration was presented by the City of Lincoln with support from the Nebraska Humanities Council, Lincoln Benefit Life, the Lincoln Public Schools and Cornhusker Bank.
Marlatt, a member of Actor's Equity Association and Screen Actors Guild, presented the first workshop production of the play in Lincoln in the summer of 2009 as part of Nebraska Repertory Theatre's "Destination" series. He also has appeared in Nebraska Rep mainstage productions — The Drawer Boy, Metamorphoses, Moonlight and Magnolias and Anatomy of Gray.
A working professional actor and director since 1980, Marlatt has a Fine Arts Degree in Theatre and Interpretation. He has trained at The Royal National Theatre of Great Britain's Acting Studio in London and was the first Philip Meister Scholarship recipient at the National Shakespeare Conservatory in New York. He has taught independent Masters Workshops as a Guest Artist in schools, colleges and universities since 1981.

Who dat, who dat?
Who dat, who dat?
Who dat, who dat?
[Verse 1:]
Hey, who dat, who dat? That nigga you been waiting for,
I mean the shit was all bad just a week ago:
Rappers was bullshitting, fuck it, I ain't hating though
Because now a nigga hot enough to fuck with one of Satan' hoes.
And she can't tell the difference, I been through hell conditions,
Wishing for air conditioning, feeling God was never listening,
Now I'm on television, and did I fail to mention?
Your bitch is tired of missionary, boy, you failed the mission,
Speaking of positions just witness how I elevate it,
Real niggas celebrate it, finger fuck whoever hate it!
My life accelerated, but had to wait my turn,
Then I redecorated, that mean my tables turned.
Life live, might as well, only way to learn
Is try and fail, clientele the only way to earn,
So if you're selling crack, or if you're selling rap,
Make sure it's mean so them fiends keep on coming back.
Who dat, who dat? Bitch I got that flame!
Who dat, who dat? Bitch I got that flame!
Who dat, who dat? Bitch I got that flame!
So don't worry about my motherfucking name.
I got them saying who dat, who dat? Cole World.
Who dat, who dat? I got them saying
Who dat, who dat? Cole World.
Who dat, who dat?
[Verse 2:]
Hey, the mind state of a winner.
When you thinking about summertime I'm thinking about the winter,
When you thinking about breakfast I'm heating up my dinner,
I was plotting this moment back when y'all was riding spinners,
Yeah I'm a menace, God as my witness, with this pen I'm insane, yup!
Hungry like the nigga who ain't got the taste of fame yet,
Clown told me, "Ain't you Roc? But where the fuck your chain at?"
Guess it's something like your girl, nigga, it ain't came yet.
The man make the chain, chain don't make the man!
How many niggas do we know with hella ice but yet they lame?
The cloth from which we came me and them is not the same,
It's like we all headed to Spain they took the boat I took the plane, damn.
That boy's sick now hoes on his joystick!
Heating up like May weather, dawg, I'm on that Floyd shit.
Boy stick to your day job, said you was hot? Well, they lied
Is that your girl? Well, I just G'd her, no A-Rod.
[André 3000:]
Now who else want to fuck with Hollywood Cole?
[Verse 3:]
The little engine that could, this little nigga is good,
Rappers claiming they sick, I heal niggas for good,
A couple of y'all ain't took a field trip to the hood,
And me? I'm fresh prince, I'm Will Smith to the hood,
Baby, ain't saying names but we not the same,
All the money and the fame don't change the fact that you lame,
Might want to grab you a chain, want to tip up your hat,
Might want to purchase some game, homey your shit is so wack.
I got my finger on the trigger, tell that nigga, "Hold that!"
Want picture perfect, baby, you can check the Kodak,
Hey, so anything you can do I can do better
And any chick you can screw I can get wetter.
I'm young, black, gifted, live my life on the run,
Bet your bottom dollar before I'm done,
They say that I'm the one, yeah, nigga, I'm the one!
I got them saying

When the Lifetime channel aired its movie "Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial in Italy," Knox was still wading through the Italian appeals process.
The movie ended after Knox's conviction, with actress Hayden Panettiere playing the horrified student on her way to prison.
Now that Knox has been acquitted of murdering her British roommate, Lifetime is planning a few updates to the controversial movie. A brief epilogue added at the start of the movie, and an updated coda will reflect recent developments, reports TV Guide.
But that's not all that's in store for Knox — far from it.
Knox, 24, might be the most sought-after interview in the country.
Just minutes after her acquittal, Knox was bombarded with interview requests from media. "KQMV Has A Job For Amanda Knox," was the headline from one Seattle radio station.
"We're glad you're free Amanda and look forward to welcoming you home!" a statement from the station. "We believed in you all along, so much so, that we would like to extend an offer of $10,000 to you to come host our morning show for one week with Brooke and Jubal in the morning! We would all love to hear what you have to say and maybe help a little with the legal bills. Once again, welcome home!"
But the big money comes from talk shows, book deals and movie rights.
"I think that anything with her name on it and her face on it will create an interest," Gene Grabowski, a crisis management expert with Levick Strategic Communications, told MSNBC. "This is the United States of Entertainment. There's a constant market for entertainment."
Already, some are speculating about the payday Knox might get if she signs a book deal.

Pro Series Power Station -- Legend Fitness (3215)
Legend Pro Series Power Station - Originally designed to fulfill a design requirement for Ohio State University, the Pro Series Power Station was designed in the "multi rack" style of racks to provide unlimited overhead room for standing military presses, push presses, etc. while still providing all the safety of a full cage. Like the rest of the Pro Series lineup, the 3215 is overbuilt with 11 gauge 3" x 3" tubing with 7 gauge chrome plated racking, so there's no doubt that these are lifting devices of the "heavy duty" variety. Much like your sister's convertible, extra buttresses down low restore the structural integrity lost when the top was chopped off. Most of the usual Pro Series cage amenities are present:
Overbuilt for Strength
11 gauge 3x3-inch tubing and 7 gauge, chrome-plated racking with laser-cut numbering.
The Ultimate in Rigidity
Like most Legend Fitness items, the Pro Series Power Station has been developed with three-dimensional CAD software to use as few fasteners as possible. This entire rack only has 12 bolts across 4 joints, reducing the possible points of weakness and maintenance. Compare to competitor's cages that use a bajillion bolts (Roughly speaking. Could be a kajillion.)
Monster Hooks
Oversized, dual peg, fully welded bar catches with carry handle, number window and extremely durable yet replaceable polymer contact surfaces. Extended reach profile of hook increases safety without getting in the way. No metal-to-metal contact with the bar protects the knurling and means no rust, no paint chips and more energy absorbtion. In other words, the part of the cage you interact with most is AWESOME.
Your Friend When In Need
The safety arms were overbuilt for when something slips, featuring not only a 3x2-inch cross section and ABS wearguards, but an internal, solid, 1-inch racking rod.
Lots o' Storage
12 chrome-plated, frame-welded, numbered, Olympic-size plate storage pegs that are slightly angled for safety.
2 angled storage pegs for resistance bands/chains.
Upright bar storage for up to 4 Olympic bars (can also hold the optional dip attachments and bench rods for the bench docking system).
Extra Versatility
Lower band pegs for band resistance exercises
Multi grip pull-up bar
Bench docking system
Notice: Some Legend Fitness pieces will arrive fully welded and in one piece. It is the customers responsibility to make sure the delivered dimensions of each piece will allow it to be moved to the preferred location in your home or business. Any fully welded pieces can be built to bolt together upon request. This may require an upcharge. Please consult with a salesman if you have doubt before placing the order!
- Dimensions (L x W x H): 91.5" (98.5" w/ plates) X 68" X 99.5"

The friendship behind Katie Holmes' clothing line
With the world discussing her very high profile divorce from Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes has been busy focusing on another aspect of her life.
The beautiful brunette has been developing her clothing line Holmes & Yang, which she founded with her long-time stylist and friend Jeanne Yang in 2009.
And the mild-mannered, down-to-earth businesswoman, who operates from a tiny office in downtown New York, is already experiencing success.
The design duo will show off the fruits of their labour when they make their debut at New York Fashion Week later this week.
Meanwhile, sales of the line are soaring and stockists are reporting significantly increased interest, though a knock-on effect from Katie's moment in the spotlight may well have contributed.
But as a relatively new brand that is still working on establishing a huge celebrity fan base, many are unfamiliar with the range that is mainly sold in Barney's, New York.
So what is the Holmes & Yang aesthetic?
Think understated chic, in the form of shirtdresses, cute blouses and pretty camisoles with prices ranging from £225 to £2,000.
"It's very simple, with very classic lines," Katie recently said during an interview with Grazia.
"It's basically pieces that have evolved from basics, but not too far. They're just nice, well-made luxury items that highlight the woman wearing them."
Katie seems to be on the same wavelength as pal Victoria Beckham, with both being aware that one of the best ways to raise the brand's profile, as a megacelebrity, is to wear the designs themselves.
She has been spotted putting several items on display since the venture began (pictured below).
And most notably, her first appearance after the announcement of her divorce saw her sporting the new collection's simple navy blue shirt dress, of which fashion critics highly approved (pictured above).
But in fact, designing pieces Katie could wear was exactly the motivation behind creating the line in the first place.
"We started off because we wanted to have shirts that were well-made and went with everything," she said.
"I just want something I can wear all the time and nobody's going to say, 'Oh, I saw that yesterday'. We try to make beautiful things, and we're not so trend-driven."
But behind this blossoming clothing line is a longstanding friendship between the two founders.
Katie has nothing but praise for the stylist, once saying: "She has incredible taste, and I look to her for a lot of guidance. She's very generous."
While Jeanne is equally complementary about her famous friend, once opening up to ELLE magazine about a moment that she found deeply touching.
When her stepfather died in 2010, "Katie showed up to the funeral, very quietly, without letting anyone know," she said.
"She sent my mother a package of food that was so outrageous, and my mum, having just been widowed, couldn't believe it, like, Look at this woman, she gets followed everywhere and somehow she went through five or six car changes to get to the funeral without telling me.
"She didn't want it to be a media circus, she just wanted to be there for me as a really good friend. That's just who she is and who she'll always be."
Katie and Jeanne will carry out their Big Apple presentation on September 9, the same day that her friend Victoria unveils her latest confections at the Public Library.

When adding adjuncts to your recipe there is no way you can change the the 'stage' of adding corn sugar or candi sugar to your fermenter. The program puts them into the kettle and I have not found away to schedule them in the primary or secondary fermenter as some Belgians schedule. Any help on this or is this a bug?
