80. Re: What PC to build? An update...mmconti Feb 10, 2012 1:31 PM (in response to jedwards2325)
I recently upgraded my editing computer, actually I built a new (my first) after following comments on the board since the original specs were presented by our friend in Holland. I would agree that you should skip the Quadro 4000 card and go with something else too. I had a Quadro 2000 card in my previous system.
Here are the parts that I purchased locally at http://www.microcenter.com/ which makes it really handy if you have something to return (which I did multiple times as I live near Denver). I have yet to try to overclock the memory as the motherboard comes with that kind of gamer support option, but it is something I will try when I don't have deadlines looming.
Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z LGA 1155 Z68 eATX Intel Motherboard
XMS3 8GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL9 Desktop Memory Kit (4 x 4GB Memory Modules)
Intel Core i7 2600 LGA 1155 Boxed Processor
GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5 PCIe 2.0 x16 Video Card
Performances Series P3-64 CSSD-P364GB2-BR 64GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Solid State Drive (SSD) with Marvell Controller
Enthusiast Series TX750M 750 Watt High Performance Modular ATX Power Supply
HAF932 High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case
Optical Drive
RAID drives
Having had a new system only three years ago, the power is clearly more evident in comparison with rendering which is cut more than in half. I also find that the SSD card really speeds up the OS when starting up among other things.
In terms of overclocking, I am open to suggestions on how to properly proceed with benchmarking my results.

You don't really need to worrry much about OC'ing memory, that doesn't help PPro performance in any noticable way.
However, if you could possibly trade your 2600 cpu in for the "unlocked" 2600k model, you would gain significant noticable performance by OC'ing your CPU. The 2600 cannot overclock nearly as easy or as high as the 2600k.

To all,
I just read I neat article about two mysterious switches on my Asus mobo, the TPU and EPU. This may be of interest to people who don't know how to overclock their systems like myself, but are building the system to do it. Seems like you can get most of the gains with an ounce of the effort thanks to some clever engineering on Asus' part. Possibly something to consider when shopping for mobo's. Though, perhaps this is also sacrilige to the resident gurus.
I haven't tried it out yet personally, but I should be up and running within a week or so, then I can see how it goes.
83. Re: What PC to build? An update...wicked_breaks Feb 13, 2012 2:26 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)
First I must give appropriate props to Harm......thanks for taking the time to lay down all this info in one place..........its much appreciated.
I would like some input on the type of system I need for my client...my knowledge is advanced in hardware but I have really none in the adobe suite, particularly AFTER EFFECTS 5.5 and video rendering. Any advice on the grade of system ( BUDGET,ECONOMICAL,WARRIOR) …and specifics on RAID, CPU, RAM…..would be greatly appreciated.
The client will be working mostly in AFTER EFFECTS…..here is the info I was given:
We use a DSLR Camera that only shoots in 1080p with an h264 codec usually Also we need a Mac computer so we can edit videos in After Effects and render big projects like ten greenscreen videos over night. We also have to backup 6TBs and I thought getting externals would be the way to go but is it cheaper or possible to put that into the Mac computer plus like an extra TB into the computer for programs?
It didn't take much to get him off of the 'Mac'….all I did was stated the facts…haha. Again…any and all feedback is GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks and God Bless.

Zovic (and all),
As far as the SSD goes, I know there's been alot of debate about the cost/benefit of SSD at their current pricepoints, a possibility to save a chunk a change on the SSD but still get a fair amount of the benefits would appear to be cacheing a 40 or 60gb SSD instead. It's a feature I know is on the z68 chipsets, but I'm not sure what others, but basically the idea is that your computer determines the most commonly accessed programs and files to put on the SSD to get the benefit where it matters most. The article I read goes into more depth and has some benchmarks for adobe programs listed. May be worth considering if you're looking to trim the budget a bit.
86. Re: What PC to build? An update...JEShort01 Feb 21, 2012 5:37 PM (in response to zovic)
Nice build! In fact I would say that you have pushed way past the halfway point from economic to warrior threshold .
I do like SSD drives for OS/programs, but would suggest a smaller 120GB or 128GB size SSD for that purpose. Also, I think that both Crucial SSD drives are a safer choice vs. any SSDs that use the Sandforce controller (OCZ, etc.).
87. Re: What PC to build? An update...zovic Feb 22, 2012 9:54 AM (in response to JEShort01)
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm gonna follow it... If you confirm that 120GB is enough to run smoothly W7+ CS5.5 + plugins?
88. Re: What PC to build? An update...JEShort01 Feb 22, 2012 1:19 PM (in response to zovic)
A 120GB SSD boot drive is plenty for OS, programs, and you can put the "Media Cache DB" on it too. If your system is not running "smoothly" enough then you don't need a bigger or better boot drive, you need more RAID arrays and/or single HDs for projects, media, render, etc.!
89. Re: What PC to build? An update...Videoguys Feb 24, 2012 11:53 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Feb 2012 update with 3 recommended builds! You can mix & match components between the two P9X79 builds or go with a budget system based on the P8Z68 and i7 2600K processor. We tried to get as close to $2K as possible for our system, but we went over.
- We are leaning towards the base Asus P9X79 motherboard over the Pro. We'll save some bucks and we feel we'll still need FireWire for capturing our older legacy DV & HDV footage.
- We're going to go with an SSD boot drive even though it adds almost $200 to the cost of the build.
- I'm still thinking we may go for the full 32GB of RAM. I think we may be penny wise and pound foolish going with just 16GB.
- We're also going with a GTX570 to save costs, although for Avid you really want to go with a Quadro2000 or 4000.
Unfortunately we still have not had the chance to build our DIY9 machine. Some internal IT issues have taken the bulk of our tech teams time over the past few weeks. We are also finding the i7 3930K processor in very tight supply.
90. Re: What PC to build? An update...RjL190365 Mar 1, 2012 11:16 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Regarding the "Budget" versus "Economical" system:
Unless one is going to use part of the RAM as cache, Premiere Pro CS5.5 works best with about 2GB of RAM per logical core. This means that the i5 system doesn't take much if any advantage of more than 8GB of total installed RAM. I discovered this today when I ran the PPBM5 benchmark on "Randall's Flying Pig" (my i5-2400 auxiliary editing rig) with both 8GB and 16GB of RAM. However, for an i7-2600K or 2700K system, one would need 16GB of RAM in order for CS5.5 to perform its best. And for an i7-3930K, 32GB is recommended.
91. Re: What PC to build? An update...videoreview Mar 3, 2012 2:34 PM (in response to Videoguys)
Great thread, Harm.
I wanted to share my experiences with my new build, which was inspired by the Videoguys DIY9 original specs.
I chose the Asus P9X79 Pro over the base model because it supports a 2 disk RAID via the Marvell controller using the ASUS Disk Xpert. You can read about my experiences trying to get the base model to work with the Intel RAID - basically I couldn't get it to work (and didn't really want a software only RAID solution) so RMA'd the board and upgraded to the Pro.
I shared my results with Videoguys and they have updated their recommendation to the Pro board over the base ASUS P9X79 board.
I posted a quick benchmark there as well comparing my 2600K build to my 3930K build with GPU enabled and software only.
92. Re: What PC to build? An update...RjL190365 Mar 3, 2012 4:52 PM (in response to videoreview)
Thanks for that link. However, it redirected to a "Page Not Found" portion of the site until I removed the extra "/http://" at the end of the address. Then, I realized that the MPE software-only mode really needed a strong hexa-core CPU just for that mode to perform nearly as well (relatively speaking) as the MPE GPU accelerated mode. The 4-core, 8-thread i7s do not perform nearly as well in MPE software-only mode, especially with Maximum Render Quality (MRQ) enabled - and I would expect the cheapest LGA 2011 CPU, the i7-3820, to perform significantly slower than the i7-3930K in MPE software-only mode (again, due to the 3820's four-core, eight-thread configuration versus six cores and 12 threads in the 3930K).
On the other hand, with GPU acceleration enabled in Premiere's MPE, the Sandy Bridge quad-core CPUs perform nearly as well as the i7-3930K (again, relatively speaking).
93. Re: What PC to build? An update...UlfLaursen Mar 3, 2012 8:23 PM (in response to videoreview)
Hi Shawn
Thanks for the link.
I have almost the same config, just another case and the 1050 PSU, and corsair RAM instead of G.Skill, but I love it a lot too.
94. Re: What PC to build? An update...videoreview Mar 3, 2012 9:27 PM (in response to videoreview)
Oops - sorry for the bad link. Here is the link to my blog post:
95. Re: What PC to build? An update...RjL190365 Mar 4, 2012 6:52 AM (in response to videoreview)
Just when you think it's safe to recommend an i7-3930K, bad news hits the DRAM market: One of the DRAM IC manufacturers, Elpida, filed for bankruptcy. This is partly due to the continued weak overall demand for DRAM despite falling prices. As a result of the Elpida bankruptcy, expect RAM prices to increase by the end of this year - and very significantly throughout next year. What that does is that the 8GB DIMMs will increase slightly in price from the current $70 per DIMM (in the case of the Corsair XMS3 CMX16GX3M2A1600C11 kit I recently purchased) to roughly $90 per DIMM by the end of this year, but the prices for smaller-sized (capacity) 4GB DIMMs will skyrocket from the current $18 per DIMM to about $40 to $50 per DIMM. This will have a direct impact on the total cost of building your own PC.
By the way, I did notice in my i7-2600K system that whenever I set Maximum Render Quality (MRQ) to On, my system's MPEG-2 DVD time in the PPBM5 benchmark test increased exponentially, from 115 seconds with MRQ Off to nearly 800 seconds with MRQ On. There is a bottleneck somewhere within the LGA 1155 platform (as Shawn discovered in his testing) - mainly not enough threads available for MRQ to do its work efficiently. Also, I expect that even an i7-3820 will suffer from the exact same problem as the i7-2600K in terms of not allowing anywhere close to 100% CPU utilization in software-only MPE mode with MRQ turned on sinply because MRQ in software-only mode is severely taxing to the CPU: MRQ in software-only MPE mode really needs at least 12 to 16 threads in order to perform acceptably fast.
96. Re: What PC to build? An update...FlannelAndrew Mar 5, 2012 3:57 PM (in response to FlannelAndrew)
Hey All,
I wanted to report back on ASUS's mobo EPU and TPU, as well as SSD Caching on my new system. First off, EPU and TPU are truly effortless utilities with awesome results. I can't actually measure my power consumption, but presumably if it's decreased, I haven't noticed an impact on my performance. The TPU requires a click of the button on either "Fast" or "Extreme", then after an automated reboot or two, my i7 went from a 3.4 Ghz to 4.4 Ghz on the "Fast" setting. I had no experience with overclocking, but with results like that, it's one less thing for me to worry about screwing up. I definitely recommend the ASUS mobos with these features to anyone looking to get the most out of their system with limited or no knowledge on overclocking or power managment.
As far SSD caching goes, it can be problematic, but even in my limited time with it, it was well worth it. My windows bootup is easily a half to a third of what it was. I assume as I load more on my system, I'll come to appreciate it more. Not sure how it's going to impact my Premiere usage yet, but I'm optimistic. I'll report back on that. My advice if you're looking into SSD Caching is as follows: 1. Create a system image (or backup if you'd like a fresh install) 2. RAID has to be enabled in the BIOS, meaning you'll need to reinstall windows if you're using AHCI or IDE. and 3. DON'T connect the SSD until after windows is installed and SP1 (I'm know one of these is the culprit of my first attempts system failure, not sure which). Get it all right and all it takes is a couple clicks in Intel's RST tool and you're on your way to performance where you need it.
For more information on either I recommend these articles on TPU and EPU and SSD Caching.

I just spotted your comment about OCZ. I recently bought one ($30 rebate) for OS drive but not installed yet. AGT3-25SAT3 120gb with Sand 2281 controller.
Are the Crucial really a safer choice, why?
101. Re: What PC to build? An update...JEShort01 Apr 7, 2012 4:39 AM (in response to Shortend)
I believe that you question is referring to my comment made on February 21st, "I think that both Crucial SSD drives are a safer choice vs. any SSDs that use the Sandforce controller (OCZ, etc.)".
My comment is based largely on reviews and feedback from Newegg, and confirmed by some other sources on the www; OCZ SSD user's with Sandforce controllers simply have not had the reliability experience.
For over 1000 reviews in, Crucial's ratings are largely 5 "Eggs" for ratings (the best):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100011693%2050001455&IsNodeId= 1&bop=And&Order=REVIEWS&PageSize=100
For over 1000 reviews in, OCZ with Sandforce (not a single 5-Egg rating):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100011693%2050001550%206000385 19%20600171536&IsNodeId=1&name=SandForce%20SF-2281
OCZ is less expensive and faster, but for my OS/program drive I personally demand both speed and reliability.
Also, while 6 weeks is not a lot of time, there is a relatively new player on the SSD field that would be my pick if I were doing a build this week - Corsair's "Performance Pro Series". This relatively new model uses the Marvell 88SS9174 controller (most Corsair SATA3 SSDs use Sandforce) and has been getting rave reviews. It also has write speeds that are much better than Crucial's M4 (and C300) series SSD models (I think due to fast memory chips and a largish 512MB buffer).
PS - On a least 2 occasions over the past 6 months I have seen "deals" on OCZ Sandforce SSDs that really caught my attention, but then after reading about user's RMA stories I've always decided NOT to save money in that way
102. Re: What PC to build? An update...JCschild Apr 7, 2012 9:07 AM (in response to JEShort01)
at this time:
most but not all of the issues with sanforce have been fixed.
IF i were to use a sanforce
Intel 520 or Top Power these are by far the fastest and better warrantied.
Cruscial/samsung would be my next choice
OCZ in particular i would not touch (anything made by them in fact) but many others are equally as bad.
103. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 13, 2012 3:14 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Hi Harm,
thank you very much for your guidance in building a PE machine - a guidance in a language that even I can understand.
I have started building a machine in the "warrior" end, as I am DSLR person.
Having ordered a Lian Li 2120B, the Corsair PSU AX 1200 and today have succeeded in finding a Asus GTX680, 2GB - all arriving next week, I am looking forward to building the thing.
My Q right now is about Mobo, RAM and cooler.
You recommend per january2012 the Asus P9X79 WS (as an example, I understand that)
I have found this at a good price.
But I have been looking at the Sabertooth X79 too - it is 50£ cheaper and looks good to me.
I am not planning SSD from the start anyway - but want to have the possibility open for the future.
Memorywise I have found a 24 kit Corsair 1600MHz C9 for a good price - and even a 32 kit C10s for a "less good price".
I want to use the Noctua NH-D14 SE over a i7 3930K.
These are my questions:
1. Which of the two motherboards should I choose? Even taking i consideration that the RAMs maybe could physically collide with the Noctua, and how do I know if it will - before opening the boxes?
2. Is my choise of the 24 kit memory ok? Even concerning the physical height (against the Noctua cooler)?
As for amount of memory, I understand that more always is better but so is being realistic
Thank you for your time.
104. Re: What PC to build? An update...Harm Millaard Apr 13, 2012 4:20 AM (in response to RMO2011)
Mobo: Look at my arguments for the mobo here: http://ppbm6.com/Planning.html and then decide whether firewire, dual NIC's and number of ports have any relevance for you. For me I tend towards the WS.
RAM: Relying on Scott and Eric's experiences with RAM and the i7-3930K CPU, I think your choices are currently very limited. Only 1.35V sticks not using Micron chips, so that leaves the Samsung low voltage sticks, but unfortunately only in 4 GB version. I have not yet heard about 8 GB Samsung sticks. Corsair or any other brand like Kingston or G.Skill and especially with low CAS are immediately suspect of having Micron chips on-board. On the X79 platform use only 4 or 8 sticks, never 6, because of the quad channel architecture. That means with 4 GB sticks, either 16 or 32 GB and with 8 GB sticks, either 32 or 64 GB.
105. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 13, 2012 6:37 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Thanks for your answer Harm!
Of course - it must be 16, 32 or 64, sorry for that question. I am reading too much about these things right now I guess, too much numbers, getting dizzy.
As for the Low Volt Samsung sticks: is that really the only choise, or am I misunderstanding something? I do not know what "Micron chips" is, and have tried to understand latency and CAS numbering (through Wikipedia) - but this is too scientific - after all I just want to know what RAMs to use.
I can't seem to find any Samsung sticks at all - at least in my country (Sweden) - it's all Corsair, Skill, Kingston etc. And the vendors do not inform about chips-names nor voltages.
If one cannot use any of the known brands nor find any Samsung sticks - I mean what do other people do? And why would Corsair, Kingston etc want to supply sticks that don't work well with i7 3930? I don't get it. I don't understand it. I want to, but I don't.
Any light in this darkness will be greatly appreciated
106. Re: What PC to build? An update...Harm Millaard Apr 13, 2012 7:14 AM (in response to RMO2011)
I concur that I have not yet found these in Europe, but as explained in the http://ppbm6.com/Planning.html page, I'm luckily not in a hurry, but if you are, maybe you can buy them in the US. It of course adds transportation costs, but hen waht choice do you have if you are in a hurry?
107. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 13, 2012 7:31 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Thank you Harm,
yes I have read your Planning article. Very good and rather front end. To me the Lian Li full tower is BIG
Glad that I was not missunderstanding at least about the sticks.
No, I am not in a hurry - just want to build my new machine, that's all - I can wait. Perhaps 8G sticks will emerge too.
Thanks again.
108. Re: What PC to build? An update...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 8:15 AM (in response to RMO2011)
Good Question RMO but the problem has been essentially out of their control. I spoke to many at Intel and other Intel partners at the ISS conference about the 3930K. The problem essentially was 3960X's for the most part were sent to both Intel internal departments and hardware partners for testing. The 3960X's were the chips used by everyone for compatibility testing and bios testing. Some partners though have given more than enough feedback atleast in the East regarding the problems with the X79 and for what ever reason there has been very little movement on this. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to convince Intel engineering the issues are there and only recently have seen movement/follow up on it. Last I heard they atleast had some idea what is going on but would not elaborate to me.
So what options does that currently leave people. Well essentially the ram compatibility is extremely limited with the 3930K especially overclocked. I have been able to get Hynix modules to run at 1333 but not 1600. Samsung 1.5V or 1.65V modules were limited to 1333 as well. Most Micron modules would not stay stable above 1066 if they even worked at that in 4 or 8 configurations. The 1.5V or 1.65V modules that worked would get to hot though and spit out garbage data if you did not have cooling directly on them and the VRU. The only modules that have been bullet proof so far with XMP profile settings or even base 1600 profiles settings are the ones we currently have custom made Low Voltage. I spoke to a Kingston engineer at the ISS and he said the Kingston Jedec spec modules would be Hynix, Samsung, Nanya, or Elpida. I spoke to Asus reps at the conference and they said Nanya was working well atleast with their testing. I did have a paid support client get some Kingston 8GB modules that were on the QVL list and those however did not work. They were not Jedec spec though and based on the timings I suspect they were PSC IC's. However speaking to another system configurator, the Kingston 1.5V ram that is Jedec spec was working at 1333. I am hearing these problems from other system configurators as well and the problems all revolve around the 3930K and ram especially with the CPU overclocked.
So essentially that leaves you with the options of the major ram manufacturers in the West if you leave the ram at 1066 or 1333 and you get Jedec spec or the Low Voltage sticks which are extremely hard to get right now. Kingston should have some low voltage sticks out or coming as well atleast according to the engineer I spoke to. Kingston is normally conservative so I expect those modules to work once they are available if they are not already.
109. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 13, 2012 9:39 AM (in response to ECBowen)
Hi ECBowen,
thanks a lot for this orientation! This explains the problems to a certain degree - but not of course why no action is being taken (yet) by the RAM manufacturers. Hope you are right in assuming that Kingston may have something coming up. A Kingston 1.3V working at 1600 for instance.
Have you tested the Samsung 1600 RAMs from Newegg, linked in Harm's post above?
The user comments at the Neweggs page are very positive to these RAMs on the X79 with i7 3930K.
As they are not often i stock (according to some of the users) perhaps one should consider buying a 32G kit - though it may be expensive because of the customs when importing to Europe.
What do you think? I'm not in a hurry, just hungry
Thanks again for your detailed information!
110. Re: What PC to build? An update...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 9:41 AM (in response to RMO2011)
Well I have to be careful what all I explain and how much I say because of the parties involved. What I can say is engineering at partners in the East are far more aware than Western engineering which is one major benefit of having direct TW contact.
Unfortunately we have not tested the Low Voltage Samsung modules yet. When I requested them they had good stock. However by the time the purchaser went to get them from Disti the stock was at 1pc. So they were wiped out quick. I will hopefully have some soon that I can test. The Low Voltage standard right now is 1.35V. Considering what grade it takes to run that I would be surprised if they release 1600 modules at 1.3V. If you are going to import them then I would get 32GB 8X4GB at one time. Even with Samsung you want to try and get the modules from the same batch incase binning changes certain sub timings in future productions.
111. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 13, 2012 3:25 PM (in response to ECBowen)
Eric, Harm,
I decided to buy a 32G kit of the Samsung low Volt RAMs (Harm's link above).
So, I opened an account there, but it looks like you have to live in US, Canada or China to purchase anything. There is no field for Country in the personal settings.
So I changed to Newegg Business(dot)com to se if they had an opening there.
I didn't find one, but i found these RAMs there, Crusial, same low Volt 1.35V and CAS11 - and very cheap. Which is important when I am trying to come under customs critical level when importing from USA to Sweden.
So 2 questions:
1. Do you know these sticks? They look ok, but has anyone got any experience with them?
2. How do other european residents purchase items from Newegg? Anyone got some experience with this?
I have mailed a parallel question (to 2.) to Newegg, and waiting for a reply (24h). But any ideas would be very much appreciated, thank you.
I thought this was going to be simple: sign up + PayPal - but it was not.
112. Re: What PC to build? An update...ECBowen Apr 13, 2012 3:39 PM (in response to RMO2011)
I have not tested the Crucials or had any paid support experience with them. Their site does not list enough information for me to say regarding timings and what modules. However CL11 for 1.35V is right and should be fine. It really will depend on the sub timings more than anything.
I dont believe Newegg ships out of North America. You have to have the package forwarded by someone.

Thanks Eric,
so, the usual problem - not enough info.
Newegg: That's what I was afraid of/expected.
Life is complicated
114. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 13, 2012 5:54 PM (in response to RMO2011)
Found this, sold in Europe, 1,35V CL11, Crucial declares compatibility with Sabertooth X79:
but no deeper information, nothing about i7 3930K. No 8G sticks, just 4.
Wonder if Crucial will supply further information - if asked nicely?
115. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 14, 2012 3:13 AM (in response to RMO2011)
Was about mailing Crucial to ask if my newly found RAMs contained Micron chips - which Harm said should be avoided in this context.
Saw that the mailadress was (at)micron.com.
Stopped the project - seems pointless.
Don't know where to go next.
116. Re: What PC to build? An update...Dave Cowl Apr 14, 2012 7:33 PM (in response to Harm Millaard)
Background: In anticipation of the CS6 upgrade I want to build a new PC.
My leaning is towards an ASUS P9X79 Deluxe, i7-3930K, and I may well wait for a GTX 680 videocard...
What concerns me is this talk regarding issues with Micron vs. X79 Deluxe/ i7-3930K - it seems I may have missed something in another thread - perhaps it would be useful to post more details here (since this is the 'go to' thread).
In any case, the thought of buying 4GB sticks pains me... I really want to go to 32GB and would like the room to expand to 64GB if the need arises.
I will dig some more but if anyone can shed light on the issue with Micron I would love to read more...
Cheers! Dave.
117. Re: What PC to build? An update...RMO2011 Apr 15, 2012 2:13 PM (in response to RMO2011)
After a lot of reading OC-forums and three days of googling, I have finally ordered 32 GB of Samsung DDR3 1,35V, 1600, C11 sticks from USA, for import to Sweden..
It's really strange. A lot of people in Europe are screaming for these sticks, nobody is selling them.
And most vendors in USA don't ship them internationally. Those who do are offering 1333MHz only, and astronomic prices.
But here is one - the right stick, and same price as at Newegg's:
http://www.ramexperts.com/samsung-green-mv-3v4g3d-us-8gb-2x4gb-ddr3-1600mhz-1-35v-1-5v-vlp -ram-cl11-30nm.html
Hopefully this link can be of some help for people outside USA searching for these sticks.

This is greate stuff, but it seems like you always state that this may not be what you would use. I would like to know what you would use, since it seems that you are on top of this ever changing platform. This way I would have the BEST chance to create the BEST system according to the BEST advice I can find, thanks.
119. Re: What PC to build? An update...Harm Millaard Apr 17, 2012 9:13 AM (in response to tcharr)
In your own thread I gave you the link to my own planned build, http://ppbm6.com/Planning.html

Folding medicine spoon and scoop, 1701-1800
This spoon, made of silver gilt and gold, is hinged at the handle, allowing it to be neatly folded up and stored in its own leather case. The spoon is believed to have been used to measure out medicines. The handle of the spoon is hollow and may have been used as a scoop to measure out smaller quantities.

I thought the following news story would be of interest to some of you.
On the contested causal relationship between 'moderate' alcohol consumption and wellbeing. Apparenty, the jury is still out.
For me personally, I won't be beating a path to the local pub.
Science steps up to the bar
Roni Caryn Rabin
Happy reading!BY NOW, it is a familiar litany. Study after study suggests that alcohol in moderation may promote heart health and even ward off diabetes and dementia. The evidence is so plentiful that some experts consider moderate drinking — about one drink a day for women, about two for men — a central component of a healthy lifestyle. But what if it's all a big mistake?
For some scientists, the question will not go away. No study, these critics say, has ever proved a causal relationship between moderate drinking and lower risk of death, only that the two often go together. It may be that moderate drinking is just something healthy people tend to do, not something that makes people healthy.

OK, so there we were, waiting for an acquaintance in the lobby of the Hampton Inn at San Juan, Puerto Rico, when we found ourselves smack dab in the middle of a party — complete with food, drink, and live music.
It was Thanksgiving week, and for the first time since our children were born, neither was to be at home for the holiday, off on travels of their own, so we last-minute opted for a week someplace warm and sunny.
It was the fourth anniversary of the Hampton hotel, we were told, as we grazed on their hors d'oeuvres. The owners and management were schmoozing the guests and, glory be!, a courtly Southern accent, right there amongst all the Spanish and Yankee voices. "Uhh, where are you from?" I queried the owner. "Jackson, Tennessee," he replied. We were soon comparing mutual acquaintances back in the Mid-South.
Déjá vu.
Bruce Edenton the elder built a Holiday Inn on the Atlantic in San Juan many years ago. A few years back, he sold out to Ritz Carlton, which promptly tore it down and erected a lavish, lushly-landscaped $100 million-plus hotel on the site. Edenton managed to lock up a piece of land cater-cornered down the street and built the Hampton.
His son, also Bruce, and family moved to San Juan to oversee the hotel, itself beautifully appointed, lushly landscaped, with the highest occupancy of any property in the entire Hampton chain, and several company awards for outstanding service/management.
Bruce the younger is currently involved in another hotel being built as part of a major development on the island. "Real estate is hot here," he says. "A house that would be $250,000 in the Memphis area goes for $500,000 here." He tells of a developer who's putting together a major residential project: "He plans to build 500 homes; 300 were pre-sold at $500,000 before the first nail was ever driven, and there's a waiting list of several hundred people for the others."
Aside from the always-summer weather, gorgeous beaches, flowers everywhere, and a Latin proclivity for having fun, Puerto Rico offers a tropics flavor without having to learn strange money, cope with another language (virtually everyone speaks English and Spanish), or not be able to satisfy a Big Mac attack (every U.S. company under the sun is located here).
"Puerto Ricans spend their money and everybody wants to get some of it," laughs Oscar Ramón, a Sears exec for 30 years who now has a travel agency and other interests and graciously showed us some of his favorite spots — including a couple of magnificent Spanish forts in Old San Juan dating back to the 1500s, a lush tropical rainforest, and gorgeous beach/ocean vistas (the Wyndham El Conquistador resort on the east coast is absolutely breathtaking).
Not a lot of agriculture. Some rice (RiceTec has a winter nursery on the island); some cattle here and there; coffee (Alta Grande is considered one of the top three premium coffees in the world); bananas, plantains, various fruits; and of course, sugarcane for their famed rum.
But a great place to escape, for a while, the blahs of our Delta winter.

22 September 2010|
No matter how many times I go to Japan, there is one element of their car culture that never gets old. And that element is: seeing Skylines! Hell, I own a Skyline but I still never get bored of hearing the growl of an RB echoing off the buildings in the downtown Tokyo metropolis. Sometimes it is an old hooptie R32 with dents and stuffed animals hanging off the bumper, but every now and then it is an insanely modified R34 GT-R making me stare. The Japanese are also still very fixated with the R-chassis Skylines and the Tokyo Auto Salon is crammed with the 1990s Nissans even in 2010! One of the great aspects of owning a Skyline is that the aftermarket support is just incredible. You can add sequential gearboxes, active LSDs and even variable valve timing RB heads! When it comes to bodywork though, Final Konnexion has thrown down a serious aero package for the R34, one that made us literally stop in the aisle at TAS 2010 and not say anything while we took it all in. We walked around the vehicle and literally from every angle, our reaction was "whoa."
The creation of Final Konnexion owner, Akihiro Isikawa this particular Skyline is not a GT-R. It is the rear wheel drive, 2.5L turbo version called the 25GT-t. While purists might complain that this isn't the flagship, the Skyline is very similar to the Mustang trims here in North America. Sure the Mustang Shelby GT500 might be the flagship, but one trim level down is the Mustang Bullitt that is pretty damn solid too. Then there is the capable GT and lastly, the lowly V6. All Mustangs are not created equal and neither are Skylines, but they all have potential.
The defining aspect of this Final Konnexion kit is that it takes cues from the Nismo Z-Tune GT-R and dramatically exaggerates them. The massive flared Nismo-esque fenders with pressure relief vents bear similarities to the limited Z-Tune, which consists of only 30 units in the whole world. The prototype kit has been crafted to expand the front fenders by 3 inches and the rear fenders by an impressive 4 inches. The sideskirts are made of carbon fibre and feature lower side vents for air to exit. The rear of the car bears a custom rear spats and the front features a GT-R bumper with a carbon fiber lip.
The extra track on both front and rear wheels allow for a more substantial tire to be crammed in there. Up front is an AME Shallen wheel measuring 20 x 9.5-inches with a -9 offset and the rear boasts a 20 x 10-inch -17 offset wheel. With loads of dish, these ultra low offsets get ultra-aggressive with 20mm and 35mm spacers! The custom black and white AME rollers are wrapped with under-sized Toyo T1R tires to keep the fiery Nissan grounded. The correct stance is achieved with the Final Konnexion Stealth coilovers, rocking some custom-spec Swift Springs.
The Brian Crower stickers plastered on the hood definitely mean that the RB25 lurking underneath is far from stock. The entire engine was torn down and rebuilt using the Crower 2.85L stroker kit. The kit features Brian Crower (BC) 87.5mm pistons connected to BC rods and a BC forged crankshaft. The ported and polished head also received a load of BC gear including, upgraded springs, titanium retainers and Stage III cams. The RB25 also features a custom fuel system and breathes though an HPI intake. The spent gases are fed into a Fujisubo Super R header dumping into a Fujisubo Legalis exhaust. The end result is just shy of 700whp with 620lb-ft of torque to shred the rear tires when provoked.
We are not sure at this point if this prototype R34 kit will ever make it to market. With the ability to legally import R34s into Canada only three years away, this could make the inexpensive 25GT-t very attractive. One could argue that this Final Konnexion car trumps the look of a GT-R anyway. With this kind of horsepower on tap and enough space in the wheel wheels to perhaps fit a 315 mm tire, Ishikawa-san and I might just be talking in the future.

Irving leads Cavaliers' comeback over Pistons
CLEVELAND (AP) — Less than halfway through his rookie season in the NBA, Kyrie Irving keeps adding to his reputation as a clutch player.
The 19-year-old guard scored 17 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Detroit Pistons 101-100 Tuesday night.
"It's a good feeling," said Irving, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. "I feed off the energy of my teammates and the crowd. When you have the confidence ot your teammates going down the stretch it's easier to make those plays."
Irving and Alonzo Gee combined for for 30 of Cleveland's 35 points in the fourth quarter as the Cavaliers rallied from a 72-55 deficit late in the third period. Although Irving won't turn 20 until next month, he's the team's unquestioned leader.
"Kyrie said he was gonna turn it up, and he did," said Gee, who scored 13 of his 17 points in the fourth. "He turned it up. He picked it up for us, and were gonna follow him."
Detroit coach Lawrence Frank had a good handle why his team's three-game winning streak came to a crashing end.
"Really, two guys dominated for them in the fourth quarter," he said. "Irving and Gee kicked our tail. They willed it back for them."
Brandon Knight led the Pistons with 24 points while Greg Monroe had 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Antawn Jamison scored 32 points for Cleveland, but Irving, whose two free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining gave the Cavaliers a one-point win over Sacramento on Sunday, came through again in the clutch. He hit two 3s that sparked Cleveland's run and cut the lead to 80-76 early in the fourth period.
"When I hit my first one, it really felt good," Irving said. "From there on out, I felt like I had to take over the game."
And that's exactly what he did.
Five points by Gee made it a two-point game before Irving found a wide-open Jamison in the corner for a 3-pointer to give the Cavaliers an 86-85 lead with 5:53 to play. Rodney Stuckey's two free throws gave Detroit the lead back, but Irving's 3-pointer from the top of the key and a left-handed layup in the lane put Cleveland ahead 91-87.
Irving poked the ball away on Detroit's next possession and flipped the ball to Gee, whose dunk put Cleveland ahead by six with 3:09 to play. Detroit responded with five straight points before Irving's basket put the Cavaliers ahead 95-92.
"He was the first overall pick in the draft for a reason," Frank said. "He's an outstanding young player."
Knight's 3-pointer tied the game with 1:02 to play, but Gee rebounded his own miss with a dunk that put Cleveland ahead for good.
Ben Gordon missed on a layup attempt and Irving hit two free throws with 11.2 seconds remaining gave Cleveland a 99-95 lead. Gordon's layup cut the lead two two, but Daniel Gibson, who missed the previous two games with a sprained ankle, hit two free throws with 2.4 seconds left.
Gordon's 3-pointer at the buzzer left Detroit one point short.
Irving was 2 ofor 6 from the field and commited six turnovers in the first three quarters. He was 6 for 9 and had no turnovers in the final period.
"He wasn't assertive in the first three quarters," Cleveland coach Bryon Scott said. "In the fourth quarter he was looking to be aggressive creating shots for himself and his teammates."
The contest was a bruising affair with players from both teams hitting the floor on several occasions. Gee and Cavaliers center Semih Erden were both taken to the locker room after sustaining facial injuries in the first quarter, but both returned shortly before halftime. Erden was poked above the right eye by Jamison while the two were going for a rebound and needed four stitches to close the cut. Gee suffered a nose contusion after being hit by a forearm from the Pistons' Tayshaun Prince while he was driving to the basket.
Monore was elbowed in the nose by the Cavaliers' Omri Casspi in the third quarter. He was treated by Detroit's trainer and remained in the game.
Monroe was given a technical foul for protesting a foul call in the third quarter.
The Pistons had won seven of nine coming in after a seven-game losing streak. The Pistons were trying to win three straight road games for the first time since 2009.
Irving and Tristan Thompson will represent the Cavaliers in the rookie/sophomore game as part of All-Star weekend in Orlando. Irving will also particpate in the Skills Challenge. Knight and Monroe will also play in the rookie/sophomore game.
NOTES: Both teams play their final game before the All-Star break on Wednesday. The Pistons visit Toronto while the Cavaliers host New Orleans. … Cleveland signed G Manny Harris to a 10-day contract. He had been playing with Canton of the NBA Development League, averaging 21.4 points. Harris played in 54 games last season for the Cavs. … Cleveland G Anthony Parker missed his 11th straight game because of back spasms.

I'm thinking about making a Bricklink order to finally get myself some decent T.L.A. and Britannian minifigs, and I'm planning on outfitting my T.L.A. heavy troops with Galaxy Patrol armor. I don't really want to use the standard helmet, though, so I'm trying to find out which other helmets fit before I buy a bunch of them. If I could ask a favor, could somebody else with a set of Galaxy Patrol armor please try it out with each of these helmet types to see if they fit:
I kinda doubt any of them will, but I want to make sure. I don't need to see pics or anything, just tell me if they fit securely.

Soft Sell
Why quiet, understated TV ads are so effective.
Also look at this Magnum Photos gallery on the use of silhouette in photography.
The Spot:A man sits at the counter of a coffee shop, tapping on his laptop. Text bubbles pop on-screen as he trades instant messages with an unseen interlocutor. "Remember how we used to say 'WHEN' we retire, like it was a sure thing?" types the person at the other end of the chat. "I know," types the man. "Then it became a lot of 'WILL WE' retire." When the imploring response comes—"How do we get from 'WILL WE' back to 'WHEN WE'?"—the man is at a loss, staring aimlessly out the window. An announcer utters the first spoken words of the spot as the scene fades: "John Hancock. The future is yours." (Click here to watch the ad.)
In the never-ending battle for your attention, advertisers have experimented with all sorts of A/V tweaks. Generally, the goal has been amplification: boosting the volume of the announcer's voice or flashing the product price in big, bright numbers. But I've noticed a recent mini-trend of ads that muffle senses instead of attacking them. The most striking example is a commercial for the asthma medication Symbicort. As our spokeswoman prances around singing Symbicort's praises, she is almost completely obscured by shadows. We strain to make out her features even in the tight close-ups on her face. We're left wondering whether this woman is a wanted criminal or has some sort of jarring scar the director wished to hide.
This silhouette technique has been used before—most notably in ads for DeBeers diamonds (shadow people slip on sparkling necklaces) and for the iPod (shadow people bop around to music). In each of those campaigns, though, 1) the people are pure silhouettes, not half-lit noir freaks and 2) the aim is to showcase the shiny product by fading the humans into the background. In the Symbicort spot, the product—I'm not even sure what form it takes; a pill? an inhalant?—is never seen. The only clear, well-lit image in the ad is of icky bronchial tissue. I keep waiting for the woman to emerge into sunlight at the close of the ad, symbolizing the newfound happiness Symbicort has brought her. But it never happens. And I'm left wondering: Why would asthma sufferers aspire to an underilluminated lifestyle?
Two dueling financial services firms also employ the sense-muting gambit. In Prudential's "Retirement Red Zone" ads, people silhouetted in solid black and white discuss their retirement preparedness. The idea here seems to be that obscuring our vision will heighten our sense of hearing, forcing us to concentrate on the spot's spoken words. John Hancock's "Cursor" campaign similarly lets us eavesdrop on intimate money conversations. But this time the missing ingredient is aural. The John Hancock dialoguers text each other over smartphones and laptops, so we hear only the background noise of an airport gate, a coffee shop, or a city park—punctuated by clicking keystrokes and the chimes that signal a new text message has arrived.
These ads have been airing for almost two years now. They continue to be the quietest moments you'll find anywhere on television (save for the occasional CBS Sunday Morning segment consisting solely of static wheat-field footage). "The reality is that very few people only watch TV today—they watch while they're reading a magazine, looking at email, or answering a text," says Jim Bacharach, vice president of brand communications for John Hancock. "What we have found, and confirmed in our tracking studies, is that the quiet of our ads makes people lift their heads and look up."
The ads mainly run during live sports events, in part because viewers tend not to DVR live sports and in part because sports programming is the most focused way to reach John Hancock's target market (adults over 35 with investable assets exceeding $250,000). "You'd think sports might skew heavily male," says Bacharach, "but the programs we're buying—like golf, college football, and the MLB playoffs—are actually closer to a 55-45 percentage split."
I asked Bacharach if it's more effective when the ads run during raucous college football games, where their silence offers a stark contrast, instead of during already quiet golf broadcasts. He said he felt that didn't matter much, but that the best placement for these ads is in the middle of a pod of other commercials, where they stand out from the crowd. "Unfortunately," he acknowledged, "we can't guarantee they'll be placed in the middle of a pod when we buy the airtime."
I imagine the best placement of all would be immediately following a ShamWow or Slap Chop ad—where their soothing white noise and gentle chimes might come as welcome antidotes to the bleats of pitchman Vince.
Grade: A-. By zigging where others zag, the John Hancock ads cut through the TV clutter. We pay close attention to their text, following the characters' conversations. And those final moments—in which the cursor blinks with implacable expectation—artfully symbolize the uncertainty that can accompany big financial decisions. Take a lesson, Symbicort. Form can mesh with function in a manner that clarifies the message instead of dumbfounding the viewer.

A friend of mine lost her roommate's cat a few years ago. Her roommate was out of town, and my friend was caring for the animal. The cat was allowed out for a bit in the evenings, behind their complex. One night, my friend forgot to let him back in. In the morning, he didn't respond to her calls, so she called me. I suggested she look carefully in the backyard and the surrounding yards.
I knew this cat only slightly, but he struck me as the sort of older, sedate tom unlikely to stray far from his food supply. She looked; no cat. She printed up fliers, and we made our way around Hyde Park stapling them to things. I convinced her we should check the backyard again. She liked the cat and all, but she wasn't a "cat person," as people refer to my tribe, as if we were slightly deranged extras in a Val Lewton film. There was an overgrown alley alongside the apartment building, not somewhere a human would venture without a weed whacker. "Did you look in there?" I asked. She hadn't. She seemed to think that if the cat wasn't in plain sight, it wasn't in the backyard. I waded into the jungle, thistles hitching to my clothes. As if on cue, a plaintive yowl came from my right. And there was the big white tom — less white at the moment, dirty and miserable — crouched in a little den of brambles. I hauled him out and put him in my friend's more familiar arms. Within an hour, after eating and drinking his fill, he was his old self, lounging in a patch of sun on the living room floor.

The triumph I felt then (I am the cat whisperer! I understand how cats think!) was subsumed by relief. I didn't know the cat well — I can't even remember his name — but I can't bear to think of a cat's suffering in pain or fear. So when I got Peter Trachtenberg's new memoir, "Another Insane Devotion: On the Love of Cats and Persons," which is in part about his search for his missing cat, the first thing I turned to was the ending to find out if Biscuit made it home safely. I didn't think I could read a book that ended in feline tragedy. Spoiler alert: I read the book.
Of course, no one understands how cats think. "I'm always conscious that my judgments about what a cat is thinking or feeling aren't really judgments but projections," writes Trachtenberg, who is also the author of "7 Tattoos: A Memoir in the Flesh" (1997) and "The Book of Calamities: Five Questions about Suffering and Its Meaning" (2008). He demonstrates, with self-deprecating grace, how naturally that insight extrapolates to a related one: We don't understand what other people think, or why they behave as they do, even — especially — the people we love. Trachtenberg's search for Biscuit is interlaced with his search for his failing marriage to author Mary Gaitskill, referred to as "F.," as though she were a Kafkaesque cipher:
By then, F. had decided she wanted to separate. It may be because she'd met somebody else. It may be because I'd run out of money and could barely pay my share of the bills. .... It may be because I'd yelled at her about leaving dirty dishes on the kitchen counter.
She's leaving him because of something momentous. Or something trivial. At any rate, because of something. "Maybe I didn't love my cat, or didn't love her as much as I thought," Trachtenberg writes. "I mean, it's hard enough to know when you love a person."
Throughout "Another Insane Devotion," Trachtenberg juxtaposes the narratives of his twin loves, but, somehow, the analogy rarely seems contrived. He spells out the connections between his love for his cat and for his wife, his inability finally to understand why either of them left, but the book is just as much an exploration of the crucial difference between the two relationships:
To me, why my cat wandered off and where she went are, if not incomprehensible, unknowable. Still, I can recount just about every step of my search for her and many of the key incidents of our relationship before then. This is more than I can do for my relationship with F., which at the time Biscuit disappeared was beginning to change and, maybe, to draw to an end.
Understand our relationship with another being? We can't even understand ourselves. Trachtenberg's read Freud. He knows that memory, as Ben Yagoda puts it in "Memoir: A History," "is itself a creative writer." He begins the book by acknowledging that although it is a work of nonfiction, its facts "vary in their density," some corroborated by documentation, others by that creative writer alone. The real F. disputes some details. This has led at least one reviewer to dismiss the book as "unreliable," a judgment which simply ignores the complex history of autobiography as a literary genre, from Augustine to John D'Agata. Rousseau begins "The Confessions" with a sly admission that "defect of memory" may have led to slight embellishment here and there. But even if memory were Memorex, there are other reasons "we are unknown to ourselves, we knowers," as Nietzsche wrote. "What can you know about an object that's always changing?" Trachtenberg asks.
I suspect the popularity of literary memoir represents both a failure of imagination and a triumph of narcissism. You're not Augustine or Henry Adams, I think as I stand before the junk displays in Barnes and Noble; what makes you think anyone wants to read about your sex life? "Another Insane Devotion" is more than a literary memoir. Trachtenberg's a bit too fond of playing the philosophe ("a lover experiences the world as a series of isolated moments bright with feeling"), but his crisscrossing passions are too busy and engaging to succumb to the genre's tendency to drearily impart life lessons. "The nature of love" is an excuse for him to riff across centuries, from cat burial in ancient Cyprus to the lyrics of Sappho to marriage in the Torah to John Ruskin's unhappy wedding night to the novels of James Salter. And this is surely the best book written about what it means to love cats, and to wonder if they love you, since Carl Van Vechten's "The Tiger in the House."
I should mention that Trachtenberg can write. He and F. have a Christmas Eve ritual of trying to find "A Christmas Carol" on TV, "the old one with Alistair Sim as Scrooge." They never can; only newer versions "shot in color that browbeat the eye":
We groused about a world that wouldn't let you see Dickens's characters in the somber black-and-white of Victorian mourning, on degraded footage whose tiny, writhing imperfections might be homunculi of the ghosts Marley shows Scrooge outside his window. We wanted to see the Scrooge of our childhood, and they wouldn't give it to us, and it was cruddy.
It was cruddy. It often is. "You'd think we could find peace in a place this beautiful, but we cannot," Trachtenberg says toward the end of the book. "Both of us are waiting for something to happen." Maybe your cat comes back. Maybe your lover does, too. Maybe not. Maybe someone else comes along. It has to do with love. You wait for something to happen.
Michael Robbins is the author of "Alien vs. Predator."

The 74 year-old stage at New Candlelight has scoliosis. It needs long overdue chiropractic. It is the theatrical equivalent of the sway back mare.
The 74 year-old stage at New Candlelight has scoliosis. It needs long overdue chiropractic. It is the theatrical equivalent of the sway back mare.
After founders John & Lena O'Toole and Julian & Annabelle Borris retired, the dinner theatre limped along and was a but a 'droplet of mare's sweat' ( one of the funniest images from Candlelight's 1969 opening show FORUM ) away from closure. The 40 years of sweat and blood that the four theatrical pioneers invested would have been nothing but sweet memories.
Next Saturday we all have the opportunity to be doctors for the evening and help to build a new stage; one that is worthy of this professional theatre that has been a gift to our community for the past two years when the entity became non-profit.
Aisle Say feels privileged to have been in attendance at every opening night for these past two years. Taking my medical imagery further.... if laughing strengthens the heart, well then I get a fantastic workout every 5 weeks or so.
New Candlelight Theatre is going "All-In" on March 23, 2013 with their BARNY Gala with a Vegas theme, performances by some of NCT's finest actors singing the show stopping numbers from last year's shows. If that were not enough, after the Broadway acts are concluded, a legendary rock n' roll group, The Fabulous Greaseband, will close out the right with a whole lotta jitterbuggers on the dance floor.
Like the TONY Awards, the BARNYS celebrate the great performances of last season by awarding such honors as Best Actress in a Musical and Best Show. NCT performers include Lindsay Mauck, Victoria Healy, David Snyder, Colleen McGinnis and Sharon Brown Ruegsegger.
Other highlights of the evening will include gourmet dinner, silent auction and table games (just for fun). The Barny Awards will be hosted by Delaware's own Scott Mason as Dame Edna's Honorary Impersonator.
Says Development Director Peter Briccotto, "Our company has commissioned EDiS and Macintosh engineering to complete the study of existing structure and planning for the new structure. In reality, the stage is not particularly safe. And it's a Homeric challenge for set designers."
NCT is also seeking Silent Auction items and small ticket give-aways. Call Maureen in the boxoffice.
March 23 - 1 night only 302-475-2313. www.NCTstage.org
CLUB PHRED at The Queen on March 21
While we are on the subject of bodacious local bands, Club Phred's covers of the '60's and '70's hits create energy on the dance floor like Dorothy's tornado.
They play The Queen on Thursday March 21 at 8pm. Only a $6.00 cover. It's a fund raiser for the non-profit element of The Queen. Over the years, Club Phred has helped to generate $2.2 million dollars for area non-profits.

Hello all,
So, yesterday I introduced my girlfriend to the excellent foodie film, Tampopo. In the process
I began to wonder about other good foodie movies out there. Anyone have any recommendations?
I really liked Babette's feast (1987), but I must admit that I love Karen Blixen anyway, so... ^^
There is also some classic french films : L'aile ou la cuisse (The Wing and the Thigh, 1976) and La cuisine au beurre (My Wife's Husband (... strange translation), 1963), both hilarious !
I can't think of anything else right now, but I'm curious to see other suggestions !
Here is a light heart movie, not strictly a foodie movie.
If any of you have seen it, let me know what you think. :)
Wow, thanks for all the suggestions. I'll take a look at them this week!
Tampopo is my favorite food movie ever!
I also reviewed two other Japanese food movies here: Onigiri in the movies: Kamome Diner and Supermarket Woman. Supermarket Woman is from the same director as Tampopo.
Actually there are quite a lot of Japanese food-related movies. Japanese people are really obsessed with food! But those are the best ones I've seen so far imo. (There was one called Udon that came out a couple of years ago, but I don't think it's available outside of Japan.)
Of non-Japanese food movies my favorite is Babette's Feast. Wonderful, wonderful movie.
Other ones I love: Eat Drink Man Woman, Like Water For Chocolate, Big Night. I have those and a few others on my aStore including some food-centric (scripted) TV shows too. (Too bad the Kitchen Confidential series tanked.)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I liked "Big Night" a lot. "Udon" was also great and you can watch it subtitled online at http://www.mysoju.com/udon/
Udon was a good movie, but I think when someone passes away you can't always recreate what they made the way you remember it. But that's just one of those movie things like the ugly duckling turning into the beautiful swan by taking off her glasses.
I'm really pleased to have finally been able to catch up with this movie.
The interesting part is that it does (very, VERY loosely) document the actual boom that did happen in the Kagawa region when the rest of Japan finally caught on to how amazing the udon are in this area.
I knew there had been a book published which Japanese gourmet tourists used to help them explore the area. Alas, it's only in Japanese so I never saw it. It was fascinating to see this fictional account of Kazutoshi Tao and the publication of "Osorubeki Sanuki Udon"
More info about the real life back story here:
Thanks for the link! I went to Takamatsu last year for a day as a pedestrian Udon 'Pilgrim' (it would be much better to go by car and with friends) I can really relate to this movie. Not a great film, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
Ooh, another vote for Babette's Feast & the general wonderfulness of Karen Blixen :-) Then, there's Peter Greenaway's brutal but fascinating The Cook, His Wife, The Thief, and His Lover. Not exactly a sweet movie, but there sure is a food theme!
This isn't really a movie..but a drama.
Ryusei No Kizuna - I loved it..kept me guessing till the end...and it's all about a family's Hayashi beef rice recipe! Of course, I love Ninomiya Kazunari in it too. But the Hayashi beef is a central part of the plot =) There are 10 episodes and each episode is about 45 minutes. The last one was 60 minutes. The first 2 episodes are kinda slow, but it really picks up.
www.mysoju.com and http://www.aznv.tv both have it. I like Aznv cause i can watch whole episodes at a time rather then just parts =)
Last week I went to Megane. Maybe there's not much food in it, but it plays an important role and is prepared with much care (there's a better word for that I'm sure ;) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1016307/
Of course you can also check out the IMDb using the keyword 'food'
Visit Graasland
Megane is by the same director as Kamome Shokudo, and used the same food stylist I believe. (The food stylist has a book out in Japan too - it seems her food got famous through the movies!)

Men and women see things differently, according to a new study on the way the visual parts of our brain work. And no, annoying former bro-colleague who shall not be named, that doesn't mean you can now post an obnoxious Facebook status about how "LOL THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH!"
But it does mean that men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli while women are better at discriminating between colors. (That's why they're better at driving while we're better at pinning different colored sweaters on Pinterest! The sexist jokes just write themselves.)
The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women [Eureka Alert]
