Just a couple of questions in regard to a planned upgrade. Currently I have a POS GF2MX400 and am in search of a card for about 100-150 Aussie Dollars. I've done a bit of research and have found a few cards drawn to my attention the likes being Radeon 9550, Radeon 9550 Extreme and a few from the 9600 series. I'm steering clear of nVidia for that end of the market as they seem to get blasted by ATI.
My current frame of mind is : Get the 9550 for <$100 as it will be 100% better than my current card and have no regrets, spend the rest of the money on something else.
But looking at some reviews the 9550 Extreme seems to be pretty sweet aswell. it has a clockspeed of 400/500 up from the 9550 clock speed of 250/400. It has got a few FPS on the stock 9600 in some benches.
But it costs an extra $50. Are the internals the same on these cards, would I be able to get the same figures from a stock 9550 with an aftermarket cooler?
Haven't read much about the 9550, but looking at the specs on the card, it's clearly worse than a 9600, but doesn't cost much less. I can't say anything about the 9550 Extreme, though. In any case, they all support Direct X 9.0 adn have similar speeds, so I don't think you'll be too dissapointed with whatever you choose.
On the other hand, it would be worth it to get some more money for something from the Radeon 9700/9800 series. The 9800 Pro is probably the best bang-for-buck card in there, but any of them will be much better than a 9600 or 9550 because they are all 256-bit. The 9600 is basically the top of the low-end range of cards, so "upgrading" to one isn't really much of an upgrade.
Most of those R9550's that are less than $100aus will likely only have 64-bit memory access so stay clear of them and get one that has a full 128-bit memory access.
Sorry but I can't really help you on that subject.
Yawgm0th believe my I would absolutely love to go out and buy a 9800 Pro but I simply can't/won't. I don't have the cash, and even If I did I'd prefer to spend it elsewhere.
One more question, how well do nonpro 9600 overclock?
If I remember correctly, my Sapphire 9600 non-pro got somewhere around 400/560 in an OEM desktop with no case fans... But again, I might not remember that right.
But I wouldn't get too worked up over it. All the overclocking in the world isn't going to make a 9600 play any modern game well. It's okay if you're still into some of the older Quake-3 based games, I guess.
It appears to be the same as this, which is 128-bit.

I love finding different cover versions of songs, especially if the first version you heard was quite modern. Kisses sweeter than wine a fantastic song by Bongwater but so many other people have done it previously. I don’t know if Jimmie Rodgers is one of the earliest but he died in 1933!
Pete Seeger “wrote” this song in 1950, combining a Leadbelly tune with an Irish folksong. Pete Seeger doesn’t take credit for his songs; he recognizes that people have always been modifying and “stealing” songs. That’s what folk music is about. People just singing and playing. Anyhoo Jimmy Rogers had this hit with it a couple of years later (while Pete was being blacklisted in America for being a communist).
So, to cut to the chase: the original Jimmy Rogers, the Yodeling Brakeman, was one of the early Country singers in the 1920’s and 30’s. He’s famous for his yodelin’ blues and he was something special. I hope that explains some of it….

F-35 Lightning. "They are tearing down old hangars and building new ones to house the jet."
"It's really University City where they are in after-burner mode."
There may be a shift in the military aircraft noise from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, this week and in the long term, base commander Col. Jason Woodworth told the Mira Mesa Planning Group Monday night.
"Folks along Genessee and around the 805 will get more noise than Mira Mesa."
"I assure you - and the general does too - the aircraft that are flying are still meeting the exacting standards before military use," Woodworth said.
According to the base community plans and liaison officer, there will be increased flight operation at the air station due to troop deployments.
"Those living and working near MCAS Miramar may notice large, heavy aircraft (contracted 777, 747s and 767s) departing," the announcement says.
The base gets a half dozen noise complaints a day, a duty officer said. Miramar is an air base open every day all day, Woodworth said, but the Marines tend to fly between 8 am and 12:30 am, with the last two hours part of the 'modified quiet' approach.
"Our pilots need night training as much if not more than day training," Woodworth said.
The command is preparing for the arrival of the F-35 — Lightnings, in the trade language. They are tearing down old hangars and building new ones to house the jet, which ultimately will replace the FA-18. For now, the Marine air base at Yuma has several of the F-35s.
Miramar is home to the 3rd Marine Air Wing, pilots and crews who fly FA-18 Hornets, KC-130s, the MV-22 Osprey, and the KC-130 Hercules.
"The current pattern for decibel levels will stay about the same," Woodworth said. "The sound is different — It's a different craft with a different sound." Much of the noise occurs in University City, he said, and base complaint counts show that's where most of the complaints come from. "It's really University City where they are in after-burner mode," he said. "Folks along Genessee and around the 805 will get more noise than Mira Mesa."
The transition to the F-35s is expected to take 11 years, starting in 2020 and going to 2031, he said.
Nando’s first ever in-restaurant pop-up gallery in Nando’s Soho was designed as a playful immersive experience, in which visitors could have fun and get chatting while experiencing an up close and personal connection to artworks by some of the brightest stars in Southern Africa!
Feast Your Eyes was open to the public and visitors were invited to put on VR headsets that transported them into the artists studios back in South Africa, giving them an authentic and direct connection to the lives and stories of the seven Southern African artists who have participated in one or more of Nando’s artist-career development programmes. With guest appearances from the artists themselves, some very special panelists, and - of course - plenty of PERi-PERi, we’re still buzzing from the events!
A quick visit? Transport yourself to Feast Your Eyes and experience it for yourself here!
Nando’s Artists Society is structured to give 20 invited members the life-changing freedom to focus full-time on their artistic career, and the structure to explore and expand their creative practice, knowing that this gives them the potential to earn a decent and regular living from their creative work. Each selected member is a mid-career artist living in Southern Africa and emerging in a local and/or international context. On a set date each month NAS artists meet representatives of Yellowwoods Art. Each artist brings along their own most recent experimental work – created on NAS canvases supplied to artists as part of the programme for which artists are paid a set fee depending on the size of the canvas. There’s more to this programme, and we were humbled when it was recently honoured with a Silver Loerie for ‘doing good while doing business’.

The Creative Block provides a platform for Southern African artists, both established and emerging, to have their work exhibited across the globe. Artists are provided with blank blocks of various sizes, to be transformed in any media. Artworks are then submitted for critique and the best are purchased for resale to corporate patrons and the general public. Each block is unique, signed and individually numbered.
There are more than 250 contributing artists from Southern Africa. Each block represents the work of an artist, their unique story and technical style. The impact of the Creative Block is really felt when these individual artworks come together to become a larger, collective work of art.
Every month, our curators tour artist's studios across South Africa, scouting for hot-off-the-brush contemporary works to add to our collection. This programme allows artists to focus full-time on their careers, whilst also offering valuable critique that builds skills and confidence.
During these visits, offers are made on-the-spot to buy artworks or entire collections, and artists are paid in full that same day. We then ship these pieces to our restaurants across the world, were they are proudly displayed.
To help artists focus on their arts full-time, 20 mid-career artists from the Creative Block were chosen to submit larger artworks to Nando's on a regular basis, at a set fee per canvass. We receive affordable, quality artworks for our restaurants and the artists gain financial security. It's a beautiful mutual exchange.
The Nando's Artists Society programme has been contributing to artists and art patron collection development for 10 years; offering artists an opportunity to experiment while earning a steady income, and meeting nando's global demand for quality fine art at best value for money.
Specialising in collaborative and experimental work with fine artists, designers and architects in conceptualising, manufacturing and installing architectural artworks. Training in ceramic and mosaic mediums, artists are offered a 3-year paid apprenticeship.
What started as a simple idea – to collaborate and interpret the work of some of South Africa’s finest artists in beaded panels - has grown to become an inspiring, unique art expression. Today, Qubeka Bead Studio collaborates with some of our country’s leading artists to translate their works into beautiful beaded creations.
All of this depends on a cell phone’s camera finding enough data points to compare with an existing database of images. The problem is that the database is usually not in the phone but must be accessed over a network. They combine several recognition strategies and database trees to create a “forest” that finds results fast over an existing network. The result is a technology that literally see the forest for the trees.

Comes From Answering the Question, "Who Are You?"
The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pounds of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot – albeit a perfect one – to get an “A”.
As my writing teacher Jack Grapes says, process leads to product. What gets in the way of people engaging and producing is usually some form of overthinking. Because we don’t control our thinking it is not as easy as Bob Newhart would like us to believe to change our thoughts or our behavior by just stopping it.
Our behavior follows our understanding. We do what makes sense to us in the moment, and if paralyzing overthinking looks real to us we will feel the effect of it and act accordingly. In order for our behavior to change, we need to see something new. Our perspective needs to shift. The Nike mantra, “Just do it!” isn’t enough. We can use willpower and pushing for a time, but eventually, we burn out. There is an easier way.
Am I good enough? Do I measure up? Am I doing enough? How do I get better? How do I improve? These are some of the questions that can get in the way of us creating what we want. They all revolve around a separate “I” and suggest you can reduce suffering by improving the “I” or giving the “I” a good experience. These questions, however, are founded on a misunderstanding. The suffering of the “I” will never be solved by personal development or moments of pleasure. The solution to suffering comes from understanding the source of the suffering is the misunderstanding of a separate “I” period.
Fortunately, the individual “I” is not all of you. It is a constellation of atoms that is part of you but not the full picture. The full picture is far greater than the sliver of you that you can feel, see, and touch. There is no real separation, but the “I” you make up makes it look and feel as if there is. It sees the material world as the entire picture, but this is a limited vantage point. Quantum physics has some sense of something beyond what the illusion of material reality presents when it recognizes that 99.9% of matter is empty space, but it cannot make the final leap because science can’t measure the essence that is the emptiness but isn’t empty. The formless field of infinite potential can only be theorized in physics, but as humans, we are part of it. We are the dynamic ongoing interplay between the form and formless even if it is invisible to the eye.
When you get a sense that you are more than meets the eye, and taste the infinity that lies beyond your five senses, you just know it. When you realize you are infinite potential, what is there to worry about when it comes to productivity? The solutions to everyday situations like how to get along with your spouse, how to make more money, how to be happy, or how to create art all come from the same source that created the entire universe. No problem is too big or too small for that intelligence. Everything comes from the source that Sydney Banks called the Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought, what others call God or consciousness. Everything you want to create, every possible experience, is there in formless potential. Suffering, motivation, how to survive, they are all created through the same principles.
Looking to our infinite nature may seem to have no relevance for our day-to-day lives, but it is behind it all. We can’t see it, but we experience the effects of it all the time. It is where our experience comes from no matter what our experience is. Seeing this helps me to let go. I get better at surrendering to the natural creative process that is always happening independent of my effort and learning how to flow with what is more gracefully.
The power of seeing this is practical. When you sense your true nature that exists beyond form, when you experience what it holds for you, it opens you up to possibilities and to the unknown. It points you in the direction of your potential. What it did for me is help me to see my worries, insecurities, and anxieties in a new way so they looked more trivial — even silly. I still have them at times, but I know they are part of the tapestry of separation that starts to unravel when I look to where it comes from.
Your ability to create comes from the same source as everything else. You are not the source of your creation. It starts beyond you. If you think you are having trouble with productivity, you are just not seeing what you are producing. You are constantly creating. You can’t help bringing your thoughts to life and creating your experience. You might not be producing what you want, but you are producing nonetheless. Seeing your creative process at play helps you recognize the power of it and to move into greater cooperation with what is. This results in greater freedom and fewer feelings of overwhelm, inadequacy, and pressure.
There is less focus on the imaginary “I” and more engagement with what is in front of you. You are present to life and simply do what makes sense in the moment. You do not have to know the grand design. You do not have to be the grandmaster. There is a deeper knowing unfolding inside of you that you don’t have to be consciously aware of every aspect of it. The intelligence that guides electrons and atoms is the same intelligence at your service. It is your source. The well of your inspiration that is infinite.
Your productivity whether it is wiping your nose or creating an empire comes from the same source. There is nothing to overthink. There is only engaging to be done. Engaging with what is right in front of you. You don’t have to create thought. You are thought. You are one thought. We are the same thought. We are the timeless, spaceless, potential of that thought. We create form from that thought, in whatever way occurs to us in the moment a kiss, a punch, a community, a bomb, a nation. All coming from the same source. All figments of our imagination brought to life.
You are always being productive. You are always producing that one thought and bringing it to life in the myriad of ways that make sense to you. Are you producing fear, judgment, distress? Are you producing love, harmony, and peace? It is all part of a day’s work of being human. Seeing the production is like understanding the magic trick. When you see it, it is no longer compelling, bewildering, or disorientating. It just is.
My inadequacy, my insecurity, my badness come from the same stuff as my goodness, my competence and my confidence. They are all experiences that come through me via thought. Floating in and out. I don’t control the flow. I am the channel that gets to experience all of them. As Rumi said, “Welcome and entertain them all!” No harm comes from feeling our internal experience. It all comes from the same source.
I am that source. You are that source. We are that source. It is vast, deep, and infinite. It is the balm that shrinks our worries. It is the opposite of separation and nihilism. It is the loving intelligence that is. You are not outside of that. Seeing this is what helps you to just do it. You do it from love because that is who you are. Experiencing the answer to the question, “Who are you?” Is the only motivation you need. When you see this, your productivity takes care of itself.

Last week I wrote a question to the social networking group, Linked In. The question asked for people to ponder that if today was their last day on Earth, to name one lesson they have learned that they would like to pass along. Of course, me being who I am, I had to give a couple of examples of lessons I have learned including that the longer I live the more I realize how I am not as unique as I often wished.
Operating a one-person shop can be rewarding, but it has its challenges. Here are five apps to help make the work more manageable.
Video: Run your one-person IT shop with the help of these five apps If you're looking for apps to make your one-person shop life easier, these five apps should be on your short list.
Invoice2go (Figure A) is one of the best invoicing solutions you will ever find (in a mobile format). With this tool you can generate client invoices from more than 20 templates—or even customize your own template. Invoice2go offers just about every feature you would ever need from a mobile invoicing system. You can estimate, organize clients/contacts, invoice, set reminders, sync to other devices, save photos of receipts, add time entries to a built-in calendar, insert location information to invoices, and add barcodes and QR codes to invoices.
Square Register (Figure B) is one of the most widely used and reliable means to take mobile payments. With Square you can easily (and safely) associate your account to a bank and take payments on the go. Square allows you to set up taxes, signatures (for receipts), tipping, cash drawers, and much more.
[EDIT] Square offers both email and phone options for support. For more information on contacting Square, you can check out its support page.
Goods Order Inventory Pro (Figure C) is the only inventory system you need (if you don't need POS integration). It enables you to take care of nearly every inventory task imaginable, including centralized data management, inventory management, user tracking, multiple organizations and locations, inventory movement (across locations), user permissions, and quick reporting. This is a powerhouse mobile inventory solution.
Jiffy (Figure D) is one of my favorite time tracking apps. It not only helps you keep track of all your time, it does so with an incredibly clean and well-designed interface. Because the designers had a keen eye for efficiency, the app is easy to use. With Jiffy you can keep track of time spent for all your customers and projects and even modify entries when something needs to be changed.
MobiDB Database Designer Lite (Figure E) will allow you to keep track of all your client licensing. Why use this instead of a spreadsheet? MobiDB lets you create custom databases perfectly tuned for your needs. If you don't need a customized database, the preconfigured listing includes a database for, you guessed it, software! The software database includes fields for name, key, license, vendor, price, date of purchase, where purchased, and comments. Other features include a barcode scanner, filtering, multiple tables/relations, data entry via form, and 14 supported field types.
Your one-person shop doesn't have to be without a supporting cast of apps. Add any one of these apps to your current collection of tools and your daily work will be more organized and more efficient.

Two and a half months ago I was 265 lbs taking blood pressure and cholesterol medication, suffering from lung disease that prevented me from walking up a flight of stairs without losing my breath let alone working out to get in shape. My seasonal allergies were killing me. Then I visited Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike and they told me about The Paleo Diet. I read the books and it seemed to make sense to me. In the ensuing months I have lost 28 pounds, been taken off blood pressure and cholesterol medications due to my great blood work and I am jogging again, my allergies are all but gone. In general for the first time in years I can say I feel great. To say Paleo and my Chiropractors have changed my life is an understatement.
The Paleo Diet was introduced to me by Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike following my concerns about the way I was feeling both mentally and physically. I was never one to stick to diets, so I was a little skeptical. After reading all the material he gave me, I decided to give it a shot. I happy to say that I have just completed the 30 day Paleo Diet Challenge and to date I have lost 12lbs. For me it wasn’t a diet but an actual lifestyle change. I can’t stop talking about it when I’m with my friends and family when they ask how good I look. My acid reflux, attitude and complexion have never been better. The most important thing is how I feel on the inside. I feel great both mentally and physically. Thank you Dr. Mike and Dr. Noah for your support and dedication to your profession.
I came across the Family Chiropractic Center of Bayonne through a desperate Google search trying to deal with my back pain. What I found was a group of people who care about the health and happiness of my family. Outside of helping me with my back pain and teaching me the importance of chiropractic care, the office has become a partner in my path to wellness. When I got to my wits end with my back pain I was also fed up with my digestive health, it just so happened that Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike was on the same journey. They are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about making everyone that walks into the practice healthier than they were before. At 30 I feel happier and healthier than ever have and I can attribute a lot of that to Dr. Noah and Dr. Mike. I trust their advice and appreciate all that he has done for me and my family.
So excited… Lost 7 pounds and I now fit into an outfit that I held on to from before I had my second son. More importantly I wish I started Paleo years ago. I feel healthy & more energy! Thanks for introducing me to this challenge.
When I first came to see Dr. Noah, it was immediately following a terrible weight lifting injury. I had unbearable pain in my lower back that was so bad, I could barely walk. I was also leaning to one side while I walked and had a hard time getting in and out of bed.
In the first three and a half weeks after beginning Chiropractic care, I made remarkable improvement. I’m certain that my rapid recovery was due to the care I received by Dr. Noah and Family Chiropractic Center.
I plan on continuing my Chiropractic care to insure that this pain or any other pain never inflicts me again. I would recommend chiropractic to anyone. It has made a world of difference in my life. Thank you Dr. Noah!
It wasn’t too long ago that I started under Chiropractic care, and already I can feel a difference. I never realized that something as simple as getting your spine adjusted a few times a week can make that kind of difference in your life. It really improves your performance in everything that you do, whether it’s school,, work, or simple little activities.
I now notice my posture has improved greatly. I sleep better and I no longer have bad headaches like I used too. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to mention when you no longer have to think about the pain in your back you can really begin to focus on other things, and chiropractic care has helped me achieve exactly that!
I began to receive Chiropractic Care early in November 2002. Before that time I couldn’t walk for more than 30 minutes without sitting to rest my aching back. I am happy to say that since I started with Dr. Noah, my energy has increased and my overall stamina has improved. At the same time I feel less irritable and I am not restless anymore. I am now able to walk for hours at a time in the city without feeling the need to sit. I would recommend Chiropractic care and Dr. Noah to anyone whose back problems keep them from being as mobile or as energetric as they could be.
