In 1951, Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was bursting onto the international art scene. Two years earlier, the Philadelphia native constructed his largest mobile, “International Mobile,” for the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Third International Exhibition of Sculpture. His works were featured in the best galleries and a retrospective was mounted at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Shows in Paris followed.
But before he began focusing on large-scale commissioned works — such as “.125″ at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York and “El Sol Rojo” in Mexico City — Calder met Stanley Marcus (1905-2002). At the time, Marcus had just assumed the CEO post at Neiman Marcus, the department store founded by his father and aunt.
Impressed with the artist’s work, Marcus purchased a Calder mobile in 1951. “Today, it’s the most prized piece in the Neiman Marcus Collection,” says Julie Kronick, corporate art curator at the Dallas-based luxury retailer. “We like to say that’s when the collection officially started.”
“Stanley Marcus had impeccable taste,” adds Greg Rohan, president of Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, “and that extended to his art collection.”
The Neiman Marcus Collection today includes more than 2,500 pieces spanning all mediums, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, mobiles and even ancient artifacts and textiles from across the world. Works range from Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991) to French artist and sculptor Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985). Unlike most corporate collections, pieces from the Neiman Marcus Collection are spread across the country, displayed at the company’s 41 full-line Neiman Marcus stores. “Most of the pieces are not housed in a warehouse or in the executive offices,” Kronick says. “The majority of the work is in our stores, on view for customers and associates to enjoy.”
Q: You first came to Neiman Marcus as a private consultant in 1990, correct?
A: I was initially hired on contract to work for four months. I had worked at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and then at one of Leo Castelli’s galleries. I came to Neiman’s as a consultant to work on new store openings. Mr. Marcus had already left the company by then.
Q: How has the acquisitions process changed since Stanley Marcus left?
A: There are two big changes. First, while Mr. Marcus was at the helm, he made most of the decisions regarding art acquisitions. Mr. Marcus had an appreciation for all types of fine art, from textiles to sculptures to mixed media. He was at liberty to buy what moved him, and he made some significant purchases. I could never acquire a Jean Dubuffet today or an Alexander Calder. When I first came to Neiman’s, I thought it would be more wise to acquire three to four important pieces a year and really highlight them within the company and for our customers. But I soon recognized that we have so many spaces and so many stores that it’s better to buy more work and cover more ground. The second big change is that Mr. Marcus bought art without particular spaces in mind. That is why I found a lot of artwork housed in a warehouse, awaiting the appropriate space to be installed. On the other hand, I buy art for site-specific locations.
Q: What is your annual acquisitions budget?
A: I am not at liberty to tell you. The budget does vary, and when we open a new store, the art budget generally is based on the square footage of the store.
Q: What is the most you’ve spent on one piece of art?
A: It would probably be an outdoor piece, something that is much larger in scale. We do not always have the space to accommodate these monumental pieces, but when we do, they make quite a statement.
Q: How many pieces do you acquire each year?
A: It depends if we are opening a new store or working on a major remodel. An average per store is approximately 100 to 150 works. We may acquire several pieces by the same artist, so we may have 25 to 30 artists represented in a given store.
Q: So explain how you go about looking for pieces to fill a particular store.
A: Generally, about a year before a store opens, I begin the process of networking in a particular region. I sometimes start with the gallery guide for a given city and call on galleries from those listings. I also approach art dealers who live in various parts of the country. The ones who I work with understand our parameters, as far as taste level, style and price point. Sometimes I contact the curator at a local museum and inquire about some of the younger local artists who are doing exciting work. In addition to the above sources, I visit artist and gallery Web sites. All of this legwork is done before I make my first trip to the area.
Q: So when do the artists start fitting into your store layout?
A: When I have artists in mind, I look at the scope of their work. I take that information and work hours upon hours on my floor plans, looking at wall elevations and different options. It is similar to fitting puzzle pieces together. Adjacencies are extremely important. For example, if the presence of designer shops create several walls which are seen in the same view, it is crucial that the art pieces are complimentary. The works of art in any given store need to flow. Once I’m comfortable with the fit, I then approach the artist and commission him or her to produce a piece of a specific size. Approximately 85 percent of all the artwork purchased is commissioned.
Q: Most artists must be happy to work with you to achieve your goals.
A: They are usually quite pleased. Neiman Marcus is honored to have their work included in the collection and they, likewise, feel fortunate to have their work featured.
Q: What about artists who don’t want to cooperate?
A: There have been times, yes. Several artists have declined, most likely, because they would rather have their work purchased by a museum or private collector rather than a retailer. We respect their wishes and move onward. There are so many artists doing interesting, sophisticated work in abstraction who are pleased to be a part of who we are and what we do. As for the others, if it’s not a right fit, it would not be a successful project.
Q: You must receive unsolicited portfolios from artists all the time.
A: I get hundreds of portfolios. If an artist sends a package or directs us to his or her Web site and it is not what we are interested in, they are at least owed a response. I typically explain that we work with regional artists, local to where we are opening a new store. We also focus primarily on non-representational work. If someone insists on presenting images of their Western art pieces or traditional botanicals, we politely reply that the work is not in our scope or focus.
Q: So you must get lots of artwork featuring pricey bags and shoes?
A: Occasionally we do. Generally, we don’t mix fashion with art. The more recent acquisitions certainly reflect my taste. If someone else came on board as curator, his or her stamp would be left on this collection, too. But I am not interested in fashion as the subject matter for the art. It is important that the works in our collection stand on their own integrity. They should have the same strong presence and validity, whether they are installed in a retail environment or any other environment.
Q: Are any other themes off limits when you look for art?
A: We focus on abstract, non-representational work. If someone brought you into our Hawaii store, and then 15 minutes later blindfolded you and took you to our San Antonio store, you would see a consistency. Nothing is cookie-cutter in our stores, especially the art. The high level of taste and sophistication are the consistent factors. While we want the work to be interesting and thought-provoking, we believe it can be beautiful and entertaining as well.
Q: But that doesn’t mean you don’t push artists. There have been times you’ve asked artists to do things they don’t normally do, right?
A: I think we sometimes stretch an artist in a way that he or she may not have been stretched before. About eight years ago we asked artist Richard Beckman to create a large sculpture for one of our focal spaces. He had never worked in this large scale before. After some hesitancy, he took on the task, conquering several engineering challenges. The finished piece is dynamic and quite breathtaking. Sometimes, as in this case, we believe that if we can stretch an artist and open them up to something they haven’t considered, the end result can be an exciting step into another phase of their work. If we can encourage an artist to reach beyond his or her potential, it’s a win-win.
Q: Who are some of the artists you’ve acquired whose pieces have now skyrocketed in value?
A: Of course the most noticed price escalations are seen with our larger sculptures, such as our Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Alexander Liberman and Harry Bertoia sculptures. Some of our limited edition prints have also increased in value over the years. A lot of our artists have certainly received national and international attention.

Anglerfishes are famous for their unusual predatory technique. Their first spine have been developed into a fishing pole with a little bate in the end. The fishing pole is actually named “illicium” and the bate is named “esca”. The esca is a fleshy growth found at the end of the illicium. When a predatory fish notices the esca, it thinks that it is a suitable prey. It swims close to the esca, and is rapidly overtaken by the Anglerfish before it gets a change to swallow the esca.
There are more than 200 known species of Anglerfish in the world, and more might be found in the future since a lot of the Angler fish species inhabit great depths far down in the ocean where humans and their research equipment seldom venture. The Anglefish species are not contained in any special family or genera, they are instead spread out over several different families. They do however belong to the same order; Lophiiformes. (The order of the bony fishes.)
Angel fish species are famous for their capability to kill and consume prey that is much larger than them selves. The ambush effect makes it possible for Angelfishes to kill large prey and their adaptable body makes it possible for them to swallow the catch. Their jaws can be distended to accommodate huge prey and their thin and flexible bones make their stomach larger. The stomach of an Angler fish is very stretchy.
As mentioned above, a lot of the Anglerfish species dwell far down in the ocean. They inhabit aphotic zones to where the suns’ light can not penetrate. A normal esca is therefore invisible. The deep living Angler fish species have solved this by entering a symbiotic relationship with a certain type of bacteria than produce light. The bacteria colonise the esca and make it glow in the dark, an example of so called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is a common feature in deep sea living organisms and other predatory fishes in the aphotic zone will therefore assume that the small esca is a suitable prey. The rest of the Angler fish is dark and can not be detected in the aphotic environment. The light from the esca is not strong enough to illuminate the body of the fish, nor is the light from other bioluminescent organisms. The Angler fish can therefore stay completely hidden and ambush the unsuspecting predatory fish.
Deep sea Angler fish have developed an unusual method of reproduction. Once a male Anglerfish finds a female Anglerfish, he will never leave her. He attaches himself to her body using his sharp teeth and produces an enzyme that gradually allows him access to her blood stream. The two fishes will gradually melt together and the male will not hunt, he will get all the nutrition that he needs from the female Anglerfish. When she is ready to ovulate, the hormone levels in her blood will make the male produce sperm than can fertilize the eggs. In order for this method to be successful, the female Anglerfishes are much larger than the male. When the males have attached themselves to a female, they will actually deteriorate even further. One of the largest found female Anglerfishes was bigger than one yard (more than 90 centimeters). Some female Anglerfishes will allow several males to attach themselves to her.

The history of American sailing ships is an exciting journey into American history, starting with the world’s most famous explorer Christopher Columbus.
The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria are probably the most well known American ships in history. Christopher Columbus sailed these ships in 1492, to try to discover a trade route across the Atlantic Ocean. He ended up discovering the New world on October 12, 1492.
Another important part of the history of American sailing ships is a sailing ship named the Godspeed, which in 1607, carried settlers to the Jamestown colonies.
One of the most famous sailing ships is the Mary Celeste, which on November 5, 1872, was set to travel from New York to Italy to deliver alcohol. The ship was seen heading to the Strait of Gibraltar about a month later. The entire cargo of alcohol was still on board, and in good shape, but there were none of the ten passengers to be found. Many people believe that the alcohol on board began to leak, and the captain must have ordered everyone overboard because he thought that the ship would explode. The exact account of what happened on the Mary Celeste will probably never be known.
Different kinds of ships in the history of American sailing are:
1. The Sloop- It had one mast, and cut sail. This type of ship could be very large, and some were quite small.
2. The Brigantine- It had two masts, and a topgallant sail. The foremast was rigged square, but the mainmast was not.
3. The Barkentine- It had three masts and square sails on the foremast structure.
4. The Three Masted Schooner- The maximum masts ever used on a three masted schooner was seven.
5. The Topsail Schooner- Its rigging and masts are much like the Brigantine.
6. The Bark- Usually had four rigged sails.
7. The Brig- It was a two masted square rigged ship.
Some more in the history of American sailing ships include:
1. The Wanderer- A sixty foot long fishing schooner, that was built in 1903.
2. The Wanderbird- Built as a North Sea fishing trawler in 1963.
3. The Wawona- One of three, three masted schooners still in the U.S.
4. The Welcome- A schooner built in 1795 for collecting customs.
5. We are Here- Built in Massachusetts before 1888. It was captained by Edward Byard.
6. Westward- A 125ft. Steel schooner.
7. Wendemeen- This is a schooner that was built in 1912.
8. Windy- Four masted Gaff schooner made in Chicago.
9. Wolf- A 74ft. top sail schooner that is made with a steel hull.
Throughout the history of American sailing ships we have had many different types of vessels to lead us on the grandest of all sailing voyages.

7. The Brig- It was a two masted square rigged ship.
Some more in the history of American sailing ships include:
1. The Wanderer- A sixty foot long fishing schooner, that was built in 1903.
2. The Wanderbird- Built as a North Sea fishing trawler in 1963.
3. The Wawona- One of three, three masted schooners still in the U.S.
4. The Welcome- A schooner built in 1795 for collecting customs.
5. We are Here- Built in Massachusetts before 1888. It was captained by Edward Byard.
6. Westward- A 125ft. Steel schooner.
7. Wendemeen- This is a schooner that was built in 1912.
8. Windy- Four masted Gaff schooner made in Chicago.
9. Wolf- A 74ft. top sail schooner that is made with a steel hull.
Throughout the history of American sailing ships we have had many different types of vessels to lead us on the grandest of all sailing voyages.

A colloid of silver consists of very small particles of pure silver (99.999%), suspended in pure steam-distilled water. No stabilizers, additives, or proteins, are added.
If stabilizers and/or proteins are added to ionic solutions, the particles can clump together and become too large. When this happens the particles are not easily absorbed into the blood stream and, therefore, are not very effective. This is an inferior product.
Based on these facts, the best colloidal silver available will contain NO additives, stabilizers, or proteins.
Silver Particle Size
Very small particles, specially as small as a single atom of silver (mono atomic).
Packaging
colloidal silver has no special storage requirements. Natural color plastic or glass bottles and containers are very adequate.
There are many products that require dark glass bottles and containers because of the large size of the particles and color of the suspension, which might react to light.
How Colloidal Silver Works
Silver has always been one of the most universal antibiotic substances. When administered in the colloidal form, it is non-toxic. Just as we would die within a few minutes if our lungs were suddenly incapacitated, a microbe cannot live without proper respiration. It suffocates and dies. More importantly, colloidal silver does not damage human enzymes or alter the body’s chemistry.
Colloidal silver is a powerful, natural antibiotic and disinfectant. When it arrives near a one-celled microbe, it inhibits the cell’s metabolic enzymes necessary for energy utilization. Germs cannot build a resistance to the action of silver. There are no known organisms that can completely withstand the impact of silver.
Studies performed at the UCLA School of Medicine Center for Health Sciences confirmed that colloidal silver kills harmful bacterial, viral, and fungal organisms just minutes after contact. It does not affect the “good bacteria” of the digestive system, or the Doederlein bacillus, essential in preventing yeast infection in women. Therefore, pro-biotic programs can be continued while taking colloidal silver, without the fear of contradiction.
Richard Davies and Samuel Etris of The Silver Institute, in a 1996 monograph entitled “The Development and Functions of Silver in Water Purification and Disease Control”, discussed three mechanisms of deactivation that silver utilizes to incapacitate disease causing organisms. They are: Catalytic Oxidation, Reaction with Bacterial Cell Membranes, and Binding with DNA.
1) Catalytic Oxidation
Silver, in its atomic state, has the capacity to absorb oxygen and act as a catalyst to bring about oxidation. Atomic (nascent) oxygen absorbed onto the surface of silver ions in solution will readily react with the sulfhydryl (-S-H) groups surrounding the surface of bacteria or viruses to remove the hydrogen atoms (as water), causing the sulfur atoms to form an R-S-S-R bond; blocking respiration and causing the bacteria to expire. Employing a simple catalytic reduction/oxidation reaction, colloidal silver will react with any negative charge presented by the organism’s transport or membrane proteins and deactivate them.
2) Reaction with Bacterial Cell Membranes
There is evidence that silver ions attach to membrane surface radicals of bacteria, impairing cell respiration and blocking its energy transfer system. One explanation is based on the nature of enzyme construction: Specific enzymes are required for a given biochemical activity to take place. Enzyme molecules usually require a specific metallic atom as part of the molecular matrix in order to function. A metal of higher valance can replace a metal of lower valance in the enzyme complex, preventing the enzyme from functioning normally. Silver, with a valance of plus 2, can replace many metals with a lower, or equal valance that exhibit weaker atomic bonding properties.
3) Binding with DNA
Studies by C.L. Fox and S.M. Modak with pseudomonas aeruginosa, a tenacious bacteria that is difficult to treat, demonstrated that as much as 12% of silver is taken up by the organism’s DNA. While it remains unclear exactly how the silver binds to the DNA without destroying the hydrogen bonds holding the lattice together, it nevertheless prevents the DNA from unwinding, an essential step for cellular replication to occur.
Early Uses
Man’s use of silver as a disinfectant dates back to our earliest recorded history.The Greeks and others used silver vessels for water and other liquids to keep them fresh.
The Egyptians used silver as a thin beaten paper-like product and wrapped it around wounds to avoid infection.The Druids lined their drinking vessels with the metal for disinfecting and sanitizing water.
It was observed that those ancient families who ate from silver utensils rarely were sick and had few infections. This knowledge passed on to kings, emperors, sultans and their families and members of their royal courts. They ate from silver plates, drank from silver cups, used silver utensils and stored their food in silver containers.
Settlers in the Australian outback suspended silverware in the water tanks to retard spoilage.Generations ago, pioneers trekking across the Wild West in the US faced many hardships. Keeping safe drinking water was one of them. Bacteria, algae, etc., found a fertile breeding ground in wooden casks, which were carried by the wagons. They placed silver coins in the casks to retard the growth of the spoilage organisms. They also placed silver coins in their milk to keep it fresh.
Wrapping wounds in silver foil was a common treatment around the turn of the century to prevent infection.
Eventually, man learned to make silver nitrate and use it in wounds as an antibiotic. But silver nitrate is a silver salt and is caustic, and therefore burns tissue, much like iodine. These early, unstable and crudely made silver solutions were sometimes injected directly into the body, taken orally or applied topically. Remarkably, there were no significant side effects.
Silver as an Antibiotic and Disinfectant
Jim Powell reported in a Science Digest article in March 1978, titled “Our Mightiest Germ Fighter”: “Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills hundreds. Additionally, silver-resistant strains fail to develop”.
While silver has been used for centuries to purify water, modern ionization technology was developed by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) in the early days of the space program as a lightweight method of purifying recycled water on spacecrafts. In the United States and Canada, more than 100 hospitals have installed silver-based water purifying systems to eradicate Legionnaire’s disease, a deadly bacteria that infects hot water pipes and storage tanks in large buildings.
Antibiotic resistance is quickly becoming a public health nightmare. Traditional antibiotics continue to lose their ability to kill certain strains of bacteria. To date, nearly every disease causing organism known has become resistant to at least one antibiotic, and several are immune to more than one. Scientists have known since the dawn of antibiotic age that the more an antibiotic is used, the quicker it tends to become useless due to bacterial resistance.
Uses
Silver has been proven to be useful against hundreds of infectious conditions. The list of minor and serious conditions that can be resolved using colloidal silver is practically endless. Additionally, there has NEVER been an interaction with any medication.
In “Use of Colloids in Health and Disease”, 1910, Dr. Henry Crooks wrote: “..that certain metals when in a colloidal state have a highly germicidal action, but are quite harmless to human beings….it may be applied in a much more concentrated form and with better results…all fungus, virus, bacterium, B. Tuberculosis… ..Staphylococcus Pyogenes, various Streptococci and other pathogenic organisms are all killed in three to four minutes; in fact, no microbe is known that is not killed by this colloid in laboratory experiments in six minutes. . . .”
Colloidal silver has been found to be both a preventative and a remedy for infections, and fermentation due to any bacteria, fungus or virus, especially staphylococcus and streptococcus, which are found present in almost every disease condition.
Through simple high school biology studies we learn that all living things exist in the colloidal form. The body can more readily use medications already in the colloidal form, as opposed to the crystalline form. Colloidal silver is one of the most usable form of the most effective disease fighter there is. The body utilizes colloidal silver to fight disease-causing organisms, and to aid healing.
Consumption of colloidal silver on a daily basis is like having a second immune system. It would significantly reduce the incidence of infection.
The ability to use colloidal silver safely on a daily basis could be a powerful preventative health measure to enhance the lives of millions of people susceptible to chronic infections.
Uses of Colloidal Silver
The basic uses of colloidal silver can be as a preventative and curative source.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) reported that the US Government participated in The Clean Water in Homes in Border Area Municipalities Program, at the request of the Mexican government, to provide clean water to all of the country’s communities.
Few people are aware of the full range of therapeutic possibilities that colloidal silver offers. They might rinse their gums with it before swallowing, but not think about using it for anything else. By spraying it externally, you can clear up everything from acne to athlete’s foot, diaper rash and poison ivy. The results are uniformly amazing.
Spray it directly on festering sores, psoriasis and skin rashes and watch what happens. Rinse your mouth with it, gargle with it, soak dentures in it, and bad breath is a thing of the past. Add to bathwater, douches, colon irrigation, and nasal spray. Drip into eyes and ears for minor infections or inflammations.
Put colloidal silver in a pump bottle and spray it around kitchen and bathroom. Mist countertops, cutting boards, sponges and towels to eliminate bacteria and the infections and malodors they bring. Spray fruits and vegetables before storing, and add to milk to retard spoilage. Using colloidal silver in home canning or freezing can vastly improve the shelf life and freshness of the food.
Add to dishwater and mopping solutions. Add a capful to a gallon of water and use it as plant spray to eliminate unwanted fungus and bacteria causing root rot, etc. Add it to water base paints and never worry about mold or mildew again. In humid areas, spray on carpets drapes and stored clothing to avoid mildew and musty odors.
Also, thousands of satisfied hot tub and spa users worldwide enjoy safe, healthful colloidal silver-based systems. There is no caustic odor, no corrosion of nearby metals, no staining of the skin and bleaching of hair or clothing, no evaporation of silver from the pool or spa to leave the water unprotected, and no formation of unwanted compounds. Algae growth is also prevented.
Being chlorine free, silver systems are of special value, not only to those who are allergic to chlorine, but also to the physically impaired who require extensive therapeutic immersion in water.
This is a pure and safe element and you cannot overdose. The U.S. Government’s Center for Disease Control confirmed in 1995 that there has never been any allergic, toxic or carcinogenic reactions to colloidal silver. And the Environment Protection Agency has reported that silver is neither an eye nor skin irritant.

The World Series of Poker are absolutely the biggest poker series in the World. The Winner of the Main event of the WSOP will be the official world champion of poker. Poker players who have won at the World series will be in the hall of fame for life and will go home with the most wanted prize in the Poker world, besides the huge amount of money, the WSOP Bracelet.
Winning a WSOP Bracelet is a dream for all the poker players all over the world. Most of the professional players are living for their yearly trip to Las Vegas to participate in as many events as they can afford. They is also a lot of media around the events. Almost every country has their own team of reporters who follow the representatives of their country and they will broadcast their performances at the national television or on the internet. The world series always start with the side events in all types of poker, like Texas Hold’em and Omaha. For every event there is one bracelet to win, so it can happen that one players wins more then one bracelet during the World Series of Poker in one year.
The World series of Poker started once with only one event, but at this time there are already 57 events. All the event are played in the exclusive casino of the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas. The first event is always the event for casino employees, which have become a very popular event in the past years. But the most impressive event, besides the main event is at the second day. It’s the “Player’s world Championship” which has a buy-in of $50.000!! This is only for the very big players. This tournaments requires some very good poker skills in a variety of poker games. There will be played 8 different styles of poker in the same event: Limit Hold’em, No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, Seven Card Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better and 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball.
Of course the most popular event is the Main-event that has a buy-in of $10.000, which is very high for a regular poker player. So most of the players are sponsored by big companies who want to market themselves in the poker scene or by the big online poker sites, like Pokerstars, Full Tilt, Everest Poker or the Dutch Poker website Pokerhuis. The sponsors are paying the buy-in for the event and they will share the winnings.
The strange part of the World series of Poker is that they are played in May and June every year, but the final table of the main event is played in November. So the players have to wait for 5 months before they will know who will win the Title of “World Champion” and who wins the last Bracelet. Some recent winners of the main event of the WSOP are, 2005: Joe Hachem, 2006: Jamie GOld, 2007: Jerry Yang, 2008: Peter Eastgate and 2009: Joseph Cada. From these recent winners, Jamie Gold won the biggest amount of money in the history of the World Series of Poker. He won an amount of $12.000.000 which made him one of the richest poker players in the world.
Winning the World Series of Poker is dream for every poker player and for almost all of them it will stay a dream forever. But without dreams you life would be boring, so let’s live the dream!

In the next few months, more and more buzz will be generated for new motherboards. That’s because with the launch of Intel Core i7 processors, only new motherboards with the X58 chipset can be used. In other words, if an enthusiast wants to upgrade a CPU, the motherboard has to be upgraded as well.
A lot of information has been released by technology news websites on various motherboards such as the ASUS P6T Deluxe OC Palm, Intel DX58SO, MSI Eclipse and EVGA’s X58 SLI motherboard. In order not to be overwhelmed by the plethora of articles on these motherboards, it may be a good idea to be clear headed and focus our attention on the crucial elements.
Crucial element 1: Speed
The overall speed of the computer system depends on the multiplier values of the system. For example, you can achieve higher performance if you tweak the multiplier values of the CPU or the memory. Overclocking enthusiasts will be most interested to know if the system can run reliability at the overclocked values.
In this area, the ASUS P6T motherboard offers an extra in the 2.5″ LCD displays that presents system configuration information, overclocking data, etc. This is useful for overclockers who want to tweak and monitor the system while it runs.
Crucial element 2: Graphics
The graphics of a computer system is another major component to take into consideration. Many software applications require a lot of graphics processing power to run smoothly. This includes professional software, such as video and audio editing software that performs a lot of zooming, panning, modeling of 3D objects, etc. Many 3D games also require powerful graphic processing for best effects.
Enthusiasts should check whether the motherboard has SLI (Scalable Link Interface) support. SLI is a technology developed by nVidia, and it’s used for multi-GPU processing. Not all motherboards support this feature because manufacturers are required to pay a royalty to nVidia if they want to offer support for SLI.
Since SLI is meant for intensive graphics processing, only those who need it for business applications or gaming need to consider having this feature.
Crucial element 3: Memory.
The memory on a system affects the overall speed of the computer. With powerful processors, enthusiasts have to make sure that there won’t be a bottleneck when it comes to memory. Having insufficient memory could mean that the system will run at substandard performance.
Motherboards with the X58 chipset offer support for triple channel DDR3 memory kits. Various memory manufacturers from Taiwan and China have already released memory kits that are timed perfectly for the Core i7 processors.
Enthusiasts should pay attention to the number of slots available. For instance, the ASUS P6T motherboard has 6 memory slots, allowing a max memory of 12 GB. Other motherboard options may have only 3.
As far as the motherboard is concerned, there are various editions available. Of course, one can expect the high-end editions to be much more costly. However, enthusiasts can still enjoy the increased performance at an affordable price if options are selected wisely.

The Iraqi President has finally told Iran, Syria and Turkey to stop interfering with their National Sovereignty. And if they did not that Iraq would respond in kind, as apparently the Iraqi Government is getting a little upset with what is going on and the nearby nation states, which are sponsoring some of the bloodshed in Iraq against civilians.
Additionally, it appears that the United States has had enough as well and is asking other nations to take sanctions against Syria, which Syria is economically worried about and has told the United States to stop telling other nations to put up sanctions. Meanwhile the President of Iran is continuing banter, threats and the enriching of Uranium to build nuclear weapons.
Further, Israel believes that the drop dead date for Iran to comply with the nuclear weapons making is sometime in November and it will not wait, as it must protect itself from Iran’s promise to blow them off the map. It appears thing are coming to some political impasses and either this will end the rhetoric or many nations will begin choosing sides or keeping a neutral status.
What does all this mean? Well, it means that we might be headed for more war due to too many hardheaded men who wish to solve things with missiles, armies and the international terrorists groups that they sponsor. Unfortunate, that it will come to this again. But mankind surely has a way of repeating history. Consider all this in 2006.

I attended a rural high school in Idaho called Bonneville. We were the Bonneville Bees, but may well have been called the Bonneville Rabid Bunny’s.
The area I lived in had an infestation of Rabbits in the ’70′s. A cultural tradition of “Bunny Bashing” was born to keep the rabbits from overrunning the farmlands. This actually happened(s)…”Bashers” with hockey sticks would drive through the farmers’ fields in trucks and chase down the rabbits that ate the crops. I’m sure you can guess what they did from the back of the truck with the hockey sticks. It really does sound brutal, and though I never actually viewed or participated in bunny bashing, I’m sure it had animal activists seething and certainly invaded the cultural landscapes and attitudes.
Growing up, it was common to see rifles mounted in the back of the pick-up trucks that filled our school parking lot. It was a different time where guns in the hands of students were pretty normal, and the thought of killing someone instead of hunting something, was not even considered.
Though killing someone wasn’t considered, bullying, fighting, hazing and intimidation by big groups of people was common. It really was a different world. If you weren’t a “regular ol’ country boy,” you stuck out like a sore thumb. Personally, I was a soccer player in a land of football players, a Converse All-Star wearing preppy in a land of keg boots, mullets and cowboy hats. My friends and I stuck out like crazy. And, were targets for the bullying, fighting, and intimidation common in our rural high school. On one occasion, my brother was duct-taped upside down to a column in our school (he’s been in law enforcement for some time now…I wonder why). A friend was dog-piled by a large group of athletes at the school. The teachers, students, and administrators did very little to stop it. Standing in the “commons area” one day, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a keg boot, attached to the leg of a person, flying at my head. I stepped back and ducked. The keg boot, attached to the person, flew by me while a group of about 15 people laughed that the keg boot person had actually missed kicking me. Experiences like this help define who you are.
What does this have to do with market research? When you take a step back and assess your situation, what do you see coming out of the corner of your eye? What’s the keg boot aimed at your head…the concept, that if you don’t do something about, will pummel you to the ground?
The times…they are a changin’. It’s not likely that you would find this type bullying (along with rifles in the back windows of the trucks) in the high schools around the country. Similarly, the methods of contacting research participants are changing as well. I truly believe that, for our industry, mobile devices…smart phones…are that keg boot flying straight at your head. Without addressing it directly, you may find yourself in a totally different state of mind. Here’s why:
In a recent study by the CDC, they reported that “More than one of every four American homes (26.6%) had only a wireless telephone.”
They also reported that “In addition, nearly one of every six American homes (15.9%) received all or almost all calls on wireless telephones despite having a landline”
Extrapolating from this report, simple math suggests that approximately (42.5%) of American households are cell-phone dominant.
What does this mean for you and your research? This is compelling information, but can’t it simply be ignored and can’t I go on with my research as I’ve always done it? The answer is NO. AAPOR’s standards committee published a best practices article focused on dealing with mobile phones in research. Here are a couple of their statements:
“As of 2009, the U.S. cell phone only population is more likely to be younger: 38 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds, 49 percent of 25- to 29-year-olds, and 37 percent of 30- to 35-year-olds live in wireless-only households (Blumberg and Luke, 2010).
The cell phone only population also includes more renters, a higher proportion of non-whites (e.g., 30 percent of Hispanics), and has a lower income as compared to the entire U.S. landline population. Although cell phone only adults have tended to be unmarried cohabitants, the number of children living in cell phone only households is now growing. At the end of 2009, 40 percent of cell phone only adults were living with children (Blumberg and Luke, 2010).
In addition to demographic differences, recent research by the Pew Research Center found differences between the cell-only and landline respondents in terms of political attitudes and behavior, media use, internet use and activity, social views and lifestyle behaviors (Christian et al., 2010). “
Don’t ignore this group in your market research. At (42.5%) of the population cell phone dominant you really stand to make some significant judgment errors if you do. There are ways to address cell phones in your phone samples, online research, and using their smart phone devices. Have a strategy for addressing mobile so your research continues to be accurate and capable of accomplishing what it is intended for…answering the questions that improve your business.
