Continueing on from the post yesterday.... about the double NXT Whac-a-mole construction.
Today we been working on another module of the robot - the score tower - which uses the caterpiller tracks to move the pointer up and down:
The tracks (that came with last year's TECHNIC Bulldozer) is extremely useful. Most people use the tracks for moving a vehicle. e.g. Like the TECHNIC Bulldozer.
You can also use the tracks to move an object attached to the tracks from part of the robot to another - like we have done for the second module of the Whac-a-mole today
The tracks moves a LEGO mole up and down on a long tower. The idea of the game is that the player whacks the moles that pop their head. As you whack more and more moles, you get higher points. And as you get more and more points the mole gets higher until it touches the top touch sensor - then the pointer returns to the base and starts the next level - just like the ones you see in carnivals.
It is way easier to implement than using linear gears, pulleys or anything else.
Can you think of any other uses for the tracks?

So many of you worked out where I went today from my earlier hint?
The write up might need to wait til tomorrow. It's kinda long.

Eilean Donan Castle
The big attraction for a full licence and a 'proper' bike was longer trips. I loved the wee Marauder but it did not have all day comfort, vibrated when flat out and was slow to get up to speed and couldn't get up to speed at all on an incline. A comfier seat or riding position could have been obtained with a different 125 but vibrations and sluggishness come with the learner territory.
The Deauville sorted all these issues in one go. When I got up yesterday morning I had less than 2 hours on the bike. It was time to sort that out...
The destination was Eilean Donan Castle. It was going to be a long one. My longest ever in fact. My previous best in a day was 320 miles when I took a trip to Campbelltown. This one would be close to 400. Google Maps said it would take a little over 8 hours. Stoppages would take that up to a little over 11. I knew it would be along day and my biggest concern was that it would be dark and I would be tired by the later stages of the return leg. I also, having never been up there, be completely lost when it came to time keeping. I wouldn't know when I was making good time and when I was being slow. So getting off to rest or wander about might see me miss sundown. As it turns out my biggest problem was trying to not stop to take more pictures.
Normally with ride reports I put all the photos taken in one area together regardless of whether I take them on the way out or way in as it keeps thing tidier. 2 separate, spread out bunches of photos for one thing, eg a loch would make it confusing and harder to find pictures at later dates. However today I'm doing them in chronological order as the stories that come with them wouldn't make much sense otherwise. Most of these are taken straight form my Facebook account which is why they aren't brilliant quality. The handful that have a higher resolution have been deemed worthy to grace my Flickr page.
It was an early kick off. The plan was to get up at half 7 and leave by 8. I didn't get as much sleep as I was hoping for so went early. I was out the door by half 7. There was hot chocolate in a flask and a warm fleece both kept in one of my panniers. The fleece kept the flask from bouncing about. Stuck them in the pannier above the exhaust. It might keep the hot chocolate warm for an extra 5 minutes.
Things got off to an inauspicious start when some clown in an Audi (always an Audi) attempted to overtake me after I had moved out to pass a stationary bus at the side of the road. There was oncoming traffic at the time. One of the oncomers flashed their lights and he moved back in. It would have been an uncomfortably tight squeeze if he had gone for it. As it was he tailgaited me until we got to the traffic lights. He then sat in the lane to turn right while I was in the lane on the left (to go straight on). I may be new to bikes but I'm not new to imbeciles and I could tell he was planning on cutting across into my lane. I held back and let him get on with it. Hopefully he doesn't take anyone else with him when the inevitable happens.
The fleece lasted half an hour in the panniers until I reached Callandar. The sky was cloudless but it's still freezing, especially at that time in the morning. The fleece made a world of difference. However I had nothing to hold the flask still in the pannier. Didn't think that one through at all.
Irritatingly I got stuck behind some huge transporter lorry as I left Callander and wouldn't be able to get past it until the northern tip of Loch Lubnaig. It was frustrating. At least I got a chuckle when I looked at the speedo to see 45mph staring back at me.
Once free of long vehicles I started to make good time. The biggest difference in performance with the Deauville is uphill. Coming out of Glen Ogle on the Suzuki I would have to drop it down to 4th gear (or 3rd if it was windy), tuck my head in behind the wind shield (making the wing mirrors useless) and grin and bear it as it struggled with the slope. The Honda breezes up hills as if they weren't there. In fact on the way home I noticed that on a road that I'd previously had to go up and down gears constantly to keep things going, I could now do in 5th gear start to finish. This new bike is great.
I was in Tyndrum way earlier than I would be normally. I was surprised how quickly I had got there. It was a good thing too as my toes were 5 minutes away from falling off. I should have worn thicker socks. Thankfully the Green Welly has an outdoor clothing/equipment store and I bought the thickest, warmest socks they had. Worn over the socks I was already wearing they were great. The problem was solved instantly. The fella selling me the socks had asked where I was off to. When I told him, he told me that I'd be taking a left at Glengarry. This wasn't massively helpful as I had already checked the turnoffs I would be taking on Google maps and had them memorized but I appreciated the sentiment.
The only other bike there was a BMW tourer. It belonged to an older couple who appeared to be in a less than chatty mood. My enthusiastic, "Good morning"" was met with a decidedly unenthusiastic mumble. So they were spared my chit chat. Maybe they recognised me!
The Green Welly:
The plan was to stop as little as possible (unless toes were in danger off falling off) on the way up since as I mentioned earlier, I was wary of the time. Once I had an idea of how long it took to get there, I would be in a better position to work out how often I could stop on the way home and still be back before darkness fell.
However last time I was in Glen Coe I had promised myself two photographs. I only got one of them due to the battery in my camera going. I wasn't going to miss out this time and ducked in at the side of the road to get the photos I'd wanted to get over a month ago.
Loch Tulla:
Leaving Loch Tulla, I was again impressed at getting up the long, winding hill in half the time I was used to. If nothing else, it means I get to look at Glen Coe a lot quicker. It was as always beautiful. It had snowed since I was last up as Buachaile Etive Mor was half covered. There's something about snow that makes mountains even more attractive. It casts light and shadow where they would ordinarily blend, unseen.
I fought the urge to stop and take photos. Too much time spent messing about down here could have consequences later on. I had a right proper debate inside my helmet. Whether I'm a photo-holic or a Glen Coe-holic I don't know but my resistance did not last. And like anyone with an addiction I had my excuses ready. "I'll stop only if the waterfall is frozen", I reasoned with myself. Of course I'll need to stop and get off to find out if it is. It was frozen. My pictures of that didn't come out but just imagine some ice and you'll pretty much be there. Good thing I took other pictures while I was on my feet.
Not the waterfall:
I got a hundred yards away from the waterfall when I realised I hadn't fastened my chinstrap. This was a real excuse. It's illegal in the UK to ride with it unfastened if nothing else. I pulled into the next car park to sort it. It just so happened that there was a Unimog there. It would have been rude not to take a picture, I think.
I notice two dead deer by the side of the road a mile or so apart. Clearly they'd been hit by vehicles. I'd LOVE to see a stag roaming about up here but really don't want to skelp into one at 60mph. Or even 45mph. I figured they were probably hit at night and that motorbike strikes were rare. I was keeping an eye out regardless. When I got home there was a news report about the numbers of deer and their increasing role in road accidents. Two mangled bikes were shown in the report.
I was quite good after that. In fact it'd be 30 whole miles before I made an unscheduled stop (technically they were all unscheduled). I'd driven past the Commando Memorial before, last summer en route to Loch Ness but as I was by myself I decided a quick visit was in order.
The site was chosen for the monument as it was on the route that new recruits would have to march across to get from the train station in Spean Bridge to the training centre. If you didn't make it in less than an hour you were turfed straight back out the door.
The Commando Memorial:
The Commandos get quite a view. I'm terrible with names of hills and mountains. Though I'm sure the one on the right of the second picture is Ben Nevis. It's higher than the one on the left, though the photo angle suggests otherwise.
Amusingly, I could now not remember whether the sock man in the Green Welly had said Glengarry or Glen Ross. I haven't seen 'Glengarry Glen Ross' but I don't suppose it's about the struggle of a man trying to decide which left turnoff he's supposed to take. I figure whichever next makes an appearance on a signpost will be the right answer.
The Invergarry area is absolutely stunning. One of Scotland's best, no doubt. From the viewpoint at the top of the hill (I'll refrain from telling you how I was impressed at the Deauville's ability to breeze up there at speed) you can see across into other surrounding glens. I kinda felt this was cheating and a bit unfair on the other glens but it does make for some spectacular views. They could do with trimming the trees back a bit though.
The viewpoint is not a hidden gem:
This couple had come from Portsmouth and were doing a tour of Scotland. They were heading to Applecross.
I figured I was stopping too frequently so I was going to get my head down until I got to the castle. As well as making up for lost time, this meant I could enjoy the road a bit more. And it's a hell of a road to enjoy. It really was fantastic. It was helped by the utterly glorious weather that matched the perfect, crisp blue skies of my birthday ride in February. It starts off high in the hills and then runs alongside Loch (George) Cluanie. It doesn't have the same twisting turns that the road beside Loch Lubnaig has, preferring long meandering curves you can just fly though. Moving over to wave past another tailgaiter being the only black spot. I only took two photos of this entire road and that was on the way home. I was enjoying it so much. I can get some next time.
Before I knew where I was I was looking at a sign that said, " Eilean Donan Castle 600 yards". This was a bit of a shock. I hadn't noticed the castle right in front of me!
Then my noticing skills noticed something that I really didn't want to notice. Scaffolding! Ok so it wasn't the whole castle but enough to know it would be featuring in my photos. I'll need to come back another time. What a hardship. Scaffolding or not the castle is gorgeous. I hadn't realised that it's pretty much a replica, the original having been destroyed by cannon fire.
I briefly considered getting a ticket and going in but again, I had concerns about time. When I'm up here again and based somewhere close by I'll go in. As it was I had a 5 hour ride ahead of me so wanted to get on with it. A quick wander and I was back on the bike and moving.
Eilean Donan Castle:
It was pretty busy with tourists from all over the place. It certainly didn't offer the same peacefulness as Clackmannan Tower did.
I nipped over the bridge to get a picture from the other side. It was much quieter.
So I was now heading home. I was amazed that I wasn't in any pain and wasn't particularly tired. Maybe the excitement was keeping me going. It's clear though that I can sit on the Deauville for many hours before I start feeling stiff. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I also decided to fill her up here since petrol stations are few and far between in this part of the country. I wasn't sure about the range of the tank but having done nearly 200 miles I couldn't have much more left in it. I should have paid attention when filling her up to work out my mpg. I grabbed a packet of salt and vinegar Pringles from the garage and headed off.
I was coming back that I was reminded of the fact that some roads are better depending on what direction you are heading. Glen Coe is better heading north and the road from Loch Duich to Loch Cluanie is better heading south. I had no idea this was behind me the whole time!
A pleasant surprise:
The two pictures of the amazing road alongside Loch Cluanie are here. They have to be the least interesting pictures you could take on that road. In fact I only took them as I thought they did a good job of showing how cold it was at that point.
Passing by the Glengarry Viewpoint I remembered that on the way up the hill I'd seen a couple of places I thought I could take some nice pictures. Once I came across the viewpoint that need had disappeared but these places maybe offered a chance to get pictures without the trees in the way. Upon pulling in I discovered that I hadn't closed my right pannier properly at the garage. It was wide open, who knows how long for. There was no sign of the Pringles. They were long gone. Probably being munched on by a pack of rabbits. Thankfully the flask was still there, held in place by the internal straps of the pannier. Had that gone, as well as being annoying, it could have hurt somebody. I decide to celebrate the fact that I still have it by drinking some hot chocolate. It's still hot.
The view was good. And it is a hidden gem as you need to walk 20 yards away from the lay by to find it. So it was empty.
Next up was Loch Lochy. When you say Loch Lochy out loud you have to say it with confidence. Anything less than total certainty will likely see you laughed at for lacking the imagination to best a 5 year old in a 'name this loch' competition. It reminds me of Townsville. It is the Joey Joe Joe Jr Shabadoo of lochs.
On the way up, I had planned on overtaking a lorry on the straight that I took these pictures on. So I waited patiently rather than do something rash on the twisties. My geography was all wrong though and I was 20 miles too early. Thankfully he turned onto another road while I tried to work out where the hell I was. "It must just be around this corner"
Loch Lochy:
By this stage I was getting tired, hungry and a bit stiff. I had originally thought I could get all the way home without stopping for food but that was looking increasingly unlikely. I would be stopping again at the Green Welly.
My inability to ride past a good looking mountain without stopping to take pictures was getting out of control. I needed to eat and rest my brain for half an hour. Yet here I was in a lay by getting pictures of the mountains. Mountains that I had already photographed earlier in the day! I was 500 yards along the road from the Commando Memorial, taking photos of the same bloody mountain range I'd been taking pictures of 7 hours earlier.
They sure are pretty though.
The pretty mountain range (again, Ben Nevis is on the right..camera angle etc etc):
There were two things happening now. 1) I was seeing views on the way down that I hadn't noticed on the way up. 2) My knees were beginning to get stiff. Deauville or no Deauville I had been riding all day and hadn't stopped for any longer than 20 minutes at a time. Most of these smaller picture stops could be measured in seconds. So by this stage it didn't take much for me to convince myself I should get off and take some more pictures. If you've been reading this thread from the start you'll know I love a good bridge so in this case I feel the stoppage was fully justified.
Bridge over Loch Leven:
I was now riding through an almost deserted Glen Coe. I was hungry, tired, in pain and attempting to get home before it got dark. So I did what anyone else would do in that situation.
I got off and took some photos!
Glen Coe (again):
And that genuinely was the last picture I took yesterday (I'm saying yesterday because I started writing this report 5 hours ago when it was Wednesday). I had a panini at the Green Welly that, while a bit steep at £5, was worth every penny when you're as hungry as I was. It was beginning to be a distraction which is obviously no use. Nothing much happened after that other than a guy pulling out on front of me in Callandar. A blast of the horn woke him up. Couple of hours after I was home and the stiff knees were all fine again. Had they still been sore today I'd be concerned but it's all good.
So it was a pretty epic ride. The weather was stunning. You can see how the blue sky colours the snow and lochs. Once I was all wrapped up properly the cold wasn't an issue either and in some places it was almost warm with the sun on your back. I was knackered when I got in though. I certainly wasn't going to be up til half five in the morning writing a ride report that's for sure.
Anyway that's this one done. Not sure where is next. Won't be nearly as far away as this.

Congratulations on passing you test.
Great pictures
If you like bridges I can recommend the A828 from Ballachulish to Connel were there is the Connel Bridge. Its great road, and the river has some interesting currents that attract canoeist.

Matt, I haven't been up to Scotland for a few years. Most times it was by car as I was carrying tons of gear. Once by bike in 2009. You and your photos have got me itching to get back. Plymouth is a long way down. If I recall correctly Fort William is 700 miles away. If not this year, then next year.

Good pics...........guess your enjoying that extra power, rather than stopping why not go for a Darth Peach style and use a cord round the wrist to snap pics on the move, or perhaps take stills captured from a head cam?

Glencoe is...
all what you said and more.
You're so right when saying a mountainous landscape can profit from snow as it will disclose their true forms and structure.
Eilean Donan Castle could have profited too from a more wisely chosen color for its scaffolding.
So many tourists already? And it's only March?
In geography, lower grades, we learned the highest top in Britain was Ben Nevis. So glad it still holds the title.
Enjoying your reports, and the pictures. Ride on.

abso-bloody-lutely magnificent first long ride report
Stunning pics, and beautiful weather.
A few things I've found *really* useful for day/weekend trips have been the following:
1. HVMP Heavy bar ends. Riding my Honda Bros 650 (same engine as your Deauville) or my CBR600RR for 600 k's on a day trip often left my hands tingling from the vibration. These heavy / extra heavy bar ends are a God send, the first time I installed them on my Bros I could not believe how much better my hands felt after long trips. They made a huge difference to the vibration on my CBR too. http://www.hvmp.com
2. Charging my cameras & phones whilst riding. I often found on a weekend away ride, that my iPhone would run out of juice before the end of the day. Also if I took a lot of pics the old camera I had would be spent. This solved that problem:
a) Hard wire charging kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultimate-A...item3a7fa1c6c2
This hooks up to your battery, and the great thing about it is you can plug charging cables on for anything - iPhone, Satnav, Mini USB, Micro USB, (GoPro Hero3!) etc etc.
b) Y cable: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UltimateAd...item231843f31c
not so necessary, but, it's nice to be able to charge friends' GoPro's/cameras/phones/MP3 players whilst charging my iPhone at the same time. I can swap on different cables to charge just about anything, all whilst the devices sit safely in my tank bag or tail pack, and my iphone is charging in my jacket pocket. Word of warning though - for the love of God when you pull up to a petrol station, and your phone is in your jacket charging, unplug your phone first!! I swung off the bike before unplugging my iphone in my pocket, got tangled in the cable and almost ripped the whole thing out.
c) Here's a list of all the cables & motorcycle cradles/accessories that can plug onto the hard-wire charger: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/GPS-For-LES...=p4634.c0.m322
You can get cables and cradles for almost any device you can imagine.
Edit: Sorry for hi-jacking your Ride Report - I'm not affiliated with these guys or anything, I just found their products useful and anything that can charge your camera while you ride so you can take more photos I'm sure is going to make everyone on this thread happy :-)

And it's bigger than that if I'm using the zoom lens. I'm also not happy about the idea of taking photos while riding. I know a few people do it but I certainly won't. So even if I did use a smaller point and shoot I'd still be stopping. It might make the process quicker but my photos wouldn't be as good. I moved up to a DSLR from a point and shoot specifically to give me more control over my pictures. I don't want to be going backwards.
The head cam is a good idea. So good in fact that I ordered a Drift HD a couple of days ago! It should arrive tomorrow actually. As well as video (obviously) it will hopefully be quite good for taking some shots in motion. I still wouldn't use it as my main camera though. You don't get the kind of pictures I've got up there from a video camera, head mounted or otherwise. A lot of the pictures involved a bit of moving about too. Not much, but enough to get a tree out of the way or just adjusting my angles.
I used a video camera as my main camera when I was in Australia as it was easier to carry about. Here's a picture of the Twelve Apostles in Oz.
As a photo it's fine but considering how fantastic the landscape is there, the picture is very ordinary.
So when you look at this picture you can see the improvement.
So I'm afraid my hoping on and off the bike will continue for the time being. I know I moan at myself but I love it really. I wouldn't do it otherwise.
Yeah I think Ben Nevis will be the tallest for a while yet. If it changes it'll be because something cataclysmic has happened so you'll probably see it on the news.
I'll definitely go back. I hate crowds though so not sure how I'll get on with it when it's mobbed in summer.

Matt, France is easy from Plymouth. About a 7 hour trip across to Roscoff. I have done a few trips across and a couple of times have gone through France to Switzerland, then back into France, over the Pyrenees to Spain and caught the ferry from Santander back to Plymouth.
Brittany ferries is the company if you ever think of trying it. A trip like that above would cost about £350 if you have a cabin each way like I do.About £100 less if no cabin.

I look forward to seeing fresh material here. I hate the idea of riding when snow is on the ground but you make it look very appealing. I also like the deuville, practical capabale and...you wear a backpack? Are the panniers not large enough?
Perhaps I intrude so forgive my well intentioned inquiry but I am curious. Two things I like about the Deauville (which had a brief run in the US) is the lugagge and wind protection.

Five key lessons from Google for the voluntary sector
6 Jul 2015
Last week Hugh Rajodev heard two experts from Google pass on their digital tips to the charity sector....
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...

Community isn't led by government, so why wait for it to tell you what to do, protests Robert Ashton.
Last week, I was asked to speak at the inaugural session of a new breakfast networking group. I usually give these groups a miss; too often they focus on quantity rather than quality of leads generated. It's nice to collect lots of business cards, but in my experience that's not how new business relationships are formed.
This group however was a little different. Started by a firm that publishes local magazines, it was held in a lovely old pub in one of my favourite market towns. This was not going to be formula networking, but 60 people with a shared interest in building their local economy.
All the right people turned out to hear me speak. The town's district councillor, the vicar and some local sixth-formers, as well as many local traders and business-owners. Of course there were also a few life coaches too, they never miss a networking opportunity. I talked about politics, sex and religion, or rather used these headings to grab attention and make some pertinent points.
Like so many towns, this one had also pitched in to be a 'Portas pilot'. I explained that Mary Portas, talented though she is, was in this instance literally just another carrot dangling on the end of a government stick. There are always strings attached too, with the rules of the game set centrally.
My suggestion was that rather than chase the carrot dangled by government they start with what they collectively want. I told them to focus on their:
I hate to see people competing for government handouts. If a town wants to raise its game, it should just get on and do it. Once they're organised, focused and raising pledges, they'll quickly win the support of others; LEPs, local authorities and yes, government too.
Carrots and sticks are for donkeys. We need market towns that see themselves as something better!

Totally with you on this one, Robert. What should be kept in mind is that government initiatives are devised primarily to make government look good and re-electable. I say this not because I think all government initiatives are a waste of time but the biggest string attached to any government hand out of our money is that it comes without heart. Many recipients feel that, not only will they have a much needed cash injection but that they will get political interest and support in what they are trying to achieve. My experience is that interest and support will be fleeting and only offered on the most publicity friendly projects that make the government look good. Better to follow your (Robert's) suggestions and then, when that politician comes to you and says "You're wonderful. Let me tell the country about you", ask "what's in it for us?"
Ian Graham
Ward Councillor
Broadland Council

Robert, a lot of what you said made sense. I think Aylsham does now have an organisation that is passionate about the Town and it's members wants the Town to go forward. You are also right about Government money. I believe that my own Council has sometimes been seduced into taking cash to quickly. Beware the hand that feeds you.

It's a celebration so big, you'll need to plan enough days to enjoy it all!
Disneyland® Park
This is where it all began – Walt Disney's first Theme Park. It is the place where memories are made and relived! While Mickey's Soundsational Parade rocks your world, Star Tours— The Adventures Continue takes you on a journey into the Star Wars™ universe. And speaking of Disneyland® classics, don't miss all-time favorite Disney attractions and entertainment, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Matterhorn Bobsleds and 'it's a small world'.

Disney California Adventure® Park
This Park has been expanded and re-imagined to immerse the whole family in favorite Disney and Pixar stories like never before. The transformation starts the moment you step foot on Buena Vista Street—the main street encompassing the vibrant energy Walt Disney experienced when he first arrived in Los Angeles in the 1920s. There are tons of new additions including: Cars Land, an all new 12-acre land; World of Color, the nighttime water spectacular; and The Little Mermaid~Ariel's Undersea Adventure. It's an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind Disney experience!
Cars Land
Get ready to be floored! The town of Radiator Springs, from the Disney•Pixar movie Cars, has been brought to life in an all-new 12-acre land. Buckle up at Radiator Springs Racers where you'll race through the spectacular Ornament Valley. Then, hitch a ride on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree to swing in time to lively music, and hop on Luigi's Flying Tires, where you'll literally float on air on your own flying tire. Don't forget to mosey on over to Cozy Cone for some delicious cone-style fare. It's high-octane fun for the entire family, day and night!
Downtown Disney
Whatever it is you're in the mood for—entertainment, dining, shopping—the Downtown Disney® District is the place to find it. Check out the eclectic collection of shops and boutiques—including the World of Disney® store, Sephora®, LittleMissMatched™, RIDEMAKERZ® and Vault 28.

Welcome Back to Pie Town (Paperback)
Life in Pie Town should be sweet. There are pies in the diner again, the church has been rebuilt, and single mother Trina Lockhart has found a home for herself and her baby daughter. Trina has even found love with Raymond Twinhorse, who has returned from Afghanistan after being injured and is trying to form a real family with her.
However, Pie Town now feels like a totally different place to Raymond. Perhaps its he who has changed, due to the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. But when an accident befalls Trina and Raymond is implicated in a crime, it will take the entire community of Pie Town to clear his name, find him help, and welcome him back into the fold.

The fanboys are on the AMD side, they've taken a habit of getting ****y about it when people advocate the use of Intel processors for some reason. I used to be in the same corner myself, back in the days when Pentium 4s were crap and Athlon 64s were not I argued the other way around. Reality is what it is and if people choose to get angry about it, that's their problem.

I'm getting some kicks out of it. But at the same time, inspired from a recent thread of one remixed cat, afraid that I might ask for all parties involved to keep it a bit more civil before I get my very rare BPN thread closed

DDR4 supported CPUs for the public won't be around until the end of 2014 or maybe 2015. Since they cost way to much for anyone to use.
Just when people count out AMD, they seem to come back with something good.
Posted 13 April 2013 - 19:41
I think what they've managed to get done with the comparatively little amount they have is very commendable. I blame all the rest of the world (of software architects) that most office and consumer space programs won't take advantage of (any kind - Intel, AMD, ARM-OEMs) multi-core setups easily, nor do they show any particular inclination of doing so any time soon. Blaming developers won't solve anything, though, so... mustshifttheblametoamdyesyesyes
I was referring to AMD's R&D budget
Posted 13 April 2013 - 19:45
off topic question.
Intel supposedly "cherry picks" it's k processors, does anyone have a clue if AMD does this as well for their high end ?

Tyrone Spong knocked out kickboxing legend Remy Bonjasky in the second round of the Glory 5: London main event on Saturday at ExCel Arena with a thunderous right hand. | MMAWeekly.com
Tyrone Spong knocked out kickboxing legend Remy Bonjasky with a thunderous right hand in the second round of the Glory 5: London main event on Saturday at ExCel Arena.
Spong, who made his mixed martial arts debut in November at World Series of Fighting 1, pressured Bonjasky the entire fight, walking him down and not giving him space to work his world famous kicking game.
The knockout came at the 2:02 mark of the second round. Spong had Bonjasky in the corner and delivered a left hook counter to the chin of Bonjasky rendering him unconscious.
Ive put in a lot of work, hard work, and I know what Im capable of, so I wasnt surprised, said Spong following the win. I just took my time. I had three rounds and I took it easy.
Spong knocked out another kickboxing legend, Peter Aerts, in his last kickboxing bout, and is looking for bigger challenges ahead. Hed like to face Semmy Schilt next.
I like challenges, and Im just looking forward to fighting the best, so give me Semmy. Give me whoever, he said.
Bonjasky was left wondering what his future holds in a sport that hes already accomplished so much.
It was pretty tough. I mean a three-year absence, three fights. Its hard when youre 37 and trying to make a comeback, said Bonjasky after the loss. Its hard to make a good comeback. My comeback has been rocky. I did my best. Ive done everything, but my body says its hard.

In rescue, try to mount the root filesystem, and /boot if it is a
separate filesystem. Then chroot to the mountpoint of the root
filesystem ("chroot /mnt" or something), and do "grub-install
(hd0)" (the grub way of saying the disk) or "grub-install
/dev/sda" or /dev/sda1 or whichever disk/partition is the root
filesystem. I'm not sure if its more appropriate to install grub
on the disk or partition but I don't think it hurts to try both.
While the root filesystem is mounted you can also make any
corrections to the menu.lst if needed.

Begin your journey at the College of Environment + Design
Welcome! At CED, you will cultivate not only the skills needed to work as a professional designer and practitioner, but the individual passions you have to make a difference in your world.
We challenge you to:
- explore your unique, individual interests and creatively problem-solve contemporary issues, working with faculty to solve community issues in design charrettes.
- interact with clients, community organizations, and planning agencies.
- connect with a large and accomplished alumni network for growth and opportunities.
- network with and learn from our visiting professors, professionals, and lecturers, who are renowned designers in a broad range of career options.
We look forward to having you as part of our family.
- Our newest graduate program, Environmental Planning & Design, accepted its first students in the fall of 2009. It is a professional graduate program with an emphasis on a studio-based integrative planning process grounded in environmental and ecological principles.
- The Historic Preservation graduate program at CED is very highly regarded on a national level through the National Trust, and offers only one of two programs in the United States for a joint Juris Doctorate. The curriculum is recognized in Georgia as the first of it's kind, with courses first offered in 1973, and its graduate program officially forming in 1982.
- Landscape Architecture – the combination of wise planning and artful design of the built environment – has been taught at UGA since 1928. The undergraduate program has been accredited by the Landscape Architecture Accreditation Board (LAAB) since 1952, as has the graduate program since 1983. Both programs consistently hold national rankings in the top 10 programs in the United States.

Narrow your search
$800 is a lot to pay for a non-convection oven. There's better value to be found if you shop around.
By leaving off features such as a lock, lights or charge indicator, Razor misses an opportunity to make the E300 electric scooter a cheap transportation alternative, instead relegating it to leisure status.
Three years after its predecessor debuted, the 2015 Ford Focus Electric is still a good choice for a compact battery-powered car, but the newer competition offers slightly greater range and faster charging.
You won't find a $600 oven that looks much better than this. For its style -- and simplicity -- the Artistry Series range is an easy recommendation.
With poor performance, a highly impractical design and less value than the competition, this LED isn't one we'd recommend.
The Razor E100 Glow electric scooter comes up short on features and its ride can be harsh, but young riders will likely not care about these drawbacks when they're tearing around the neighborhood.
The new "HomeBrite" LEDs from Feit Electric come in a variety of form factors and use Bluetooth to talk to one another -- no hub necessary.
Pricing not available
With 500W of electric assistance, the A2B Alva+ is an effortlessly quick commuter, but its cumbersome weight can be a problem when dismounted.
The costly Frigidaire Gallery 30-Inch Electric Range may offer solid performance and handsome styling but lacks convection, making the less expensive yet evenly matched GE JB650SFSS a better buy.
GE's JB650SFSS is completely middle-of-the-road; it's fine in every category, but certainly won't revolutionize the way you cook.

An out-of-print book is a book that is no longer being published. Out of print books are often rare, and may be difficult to acquire.
A publisher will usually create a print run of a fixed number of copies of a new book. These books can be ordered in bulk by booksellers, and when all the bookseller's copies are sold, the bookseller has the option to order additional copies. If the initial print run sells out quickly, the publisher will probably have more copies printed. When the book is no longer selling at a rate fast enough to pay for the inventory costs, the publisher will cease to print additional copies, and may remainder or pulp the remaining unsold copies. When all of the books in a print run are sold to booksellers, the book is said to be "out of print", meaning that a bookseller cannot get any further copies from the publisher. If a book sells surprisingly quickly, a book may be out of print briefly when its initial print run is exhausted, but soon reprinted.
A reader who wishes to purchase an out of print book must either find a bookseller that still has a copy, wait for another print run (if another is anticipated), or find someone who will sell their own copy as a used book. The advent of the Internet has made this process much easier, as many websites sell rare used books.
Some publishers intentionally limit the print run of some or all titles to fewer copies than the anticipated demand, in creating limited editions marketed to collectors. In these cases, there is an implicit or explicit promise to collectors that the book will not be reprinted, at least in the same form as originally published. For instance, Madonna's Sex was sold in an sealed envelope and it is, according to BookFinder.com, the most sought after out of print book in the US. BookFinder.com releases every year the BookFinder.com Report, a list of the most sought after out of print books in the US.
The longer a book has been out of print, the more difficult it may be to obtain a copy. If there is enough demand for an out of print book, and all copyright issues can be resolved, another publisher may republish the book with a new cover and title page. In some cases, an out-of-print book, even one that sold very poorly, may be republished if the author becomes popular.
In the United States, the Thor Power Tool decision (1979), by limiting the circumstances under which publishers can take a loss on their inventory for tax purposes, has probably caused some books to go out of print more quickly than they otherwise would.

Multi-purpose, plant-based dietary fiber.
What is glucomannan?
Glucomannan is a soluble and fermentable dietary fiber from the konjac root plant. Its chemical structure is similar to that of galactomannan (from guar gum) and comprises a polysaccharide chain of glucose and mannose.
Glucomannan can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water and forms a thick, gel-like mass that has been shown to be approximately five times greater than that of guar gum.
How does glucomannan support health?
Why choose Vitacost Glucomannan?

As the town of Southampton continually looks at alternative energy sources for building construction, at least one developer in Bridgehampton is finding ways to reduce the carbon footprint by designing a fully sustainable farm equipped with a windmill and solar paneling in the fields.
Last Thursday, the Southampton Town planning board held a public hearing for the property at 501 Ocean Road. The public hearing was concerning the construction permit and special exception application for the construction of a 3,068 square foot barn, a 2,268 square foot greenhouse along with a windmill and solar paneling in the fields on the 13.2-acre agricultural reserve, which is part of a six-lot subdivision.
The applicant, FDHFZ LLC, is asking for permission to add these structures in the hopes of creating a sustainable organic farm. Representative for the applicant, Kyle Collins of KPC Planning Services of Westhampton, showed the Southampton Town Planning Board a video simulation of what the property would look like with the additional structures and how it will function with the alternative energy sources.
Collins said that the proposal is to farm the site with a possible apple orchard, flowers and switch grass for the production of 100 percent organic products using only renewable energy components such as wind and solar power. Collins also told the board that the products will be grown for commercial use, but with only 13-acres to work with, it is not expected that the farm will be producing large quantities of these items.
"The intention is to generate all the power you need on site," Collins explained on Thursday.
"I am in full favor of sustainable agriculture," said Helene Mahoney, a neighbor of the proposed farm. "But I don't know whether to be pleased or frightened about this new development."
Mahoney expressed concerns about noise pollution and well water pollution at her home. She told the board that the applicant has proposed a loading dock, and explained that the dock would add more traffic and noise. Mahoney also expressed concern over the addition of a fence around the property. She added that an existing 10-foot fence around a Peconic Land Trust property along Ocean Road is similar to that at a penitentiary and ruined a potential real estate purchase adjacent to the property. Mahoney said that if this applicant constructs a similar fence around the property, it could be a potential deal-breaker for her property or others that border it.
"The loading dock is right outside my dining room table," added neighbor Georgia Rose. Rose also said that it would be nearly impossible not to include a fence around the perimeter of the proposed farm because the developers will need something to keep the deer off the property, which she said will be attracted to the flowers.
"It's a beautiful plan – but it's in the wrong place," Rose said.
Rocco Lettieri, the designer of the sustainable farm, said that the loading dock area can be changed and informed the board that if a fence is necessary, he would like to propose one that exists in the middle of two hedges, so it could be hidden from the neighbors.
The hearing was closed, but has been left open for a 30-day written comment period.
Vintage Vines
Also on Thursday, the planning board held a scoping session for the proposed 37-lot Vintage Vines subdivision, located along Scuttle Hole Road near Channing Daughters Vineyard in Bridgehampton.
The 48.6-acre property is being proposed for subdivision by owner Dennis Suskind, and is listed in the Town of Southampton as a Community Preservation Fund priority parcel.
Thursday's scoping session was the first step in the Comprehensive Environmental Review, required by the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
Group for the East End's Jenn Harnagel attended the meeting to express her concerns over the proposed development. Harnagel argues that the property is an essential habitat for the endangered species of the Eastern tiger salamander. Harnagel urged the board to consider buying the property through the Community Preservation Fund and notified them that the 37 lots, if developed with their respective septic systems, will have a negative environmental impact on the surrounding community.
The board is allowing three weeks from the date of the meeting for any written comments.Â

Inner Cartonnage of Gautseshenu
This cartonnage provides a Who's Who of Egyptian gods, both funerary and non-funerary. They include Osiris, lord of the afterlife; Anubis, the jackal-headed god, conducting the dead to the next world; and the Four Sons of Horus, who protected specific mummified organs of the body. Among the sky gods are Khepri, the winged beetle; Sokar, in his boat; and the hawk-headed form of Horus with outstretched wings. Thoth, the god of intellectual activity, takes the form of an ibis bird.
This mummy's name, Gautseshenu, means "bouquet of lotuses." The Egyptian word seshen ("lotus") is the origin of the name Susan.

Moderators: Tonyblack, Jason, Toothy
A nurse at London's King Edward VII hospital who took a hoax call about the Duchess of Cambridge has been found dead, the BBC understands.
The hospital, which has paid tribute to "a first class nurse", named the woman as Jacintha Saldanha.
Police were called at 09:35 GMT to reports of a woman found unconscious at an address in central London.
Details of the pregnant Duchess's medical condition were unwittingly revealed to two Australian DJs.
Quatermass wrote:Up until the nurse died, I was willing to believe that, imbecilic though it was, it was nowhere near the intentional malice wrought by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross on Andrew Sachs.
Dotsie wrote:Did they think they'd get rumbled, so no harm done?

Polynesian Barbie® Doll
Polynesian Barbie doll is dressed for a traditional celebration called the luau which is known for its great feasts and dancing. Barbie wears a red and white bikini top and traditional "grass" skirt. Also traditional in Polynesian culture are the flowers around her neck, called a lei, as well as the floral garland crowning her long dark hair. And in keeping with Polynesian dancing tradition, Barbie is bare foot.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.


text: If you look at 1... Hendricks tapped to the Guillotine... I thought the fight was over there. Either way I gave 1 - 3 - 5 to GSP... It was a close fight no doubt. Personally I would have been good with a draw (without the tap), but I think the commentary sucked and I think if you watch the fight without the commentary I believe most people would go 3-2 GSP.

So now what? With downtown's pods bustling, and new carts propagating across the East Side, do we just let this benign anarchy grow unchecked as far as it will? Or should we play around with new ways to harness this spontaneous expression of urban vitality (and chocolate-sandwich lust)?
Back in the 1970s, faced with a dying downtown, Portland declared that all center-city construction had to include ground-floor retail. It was a good idea, and one that injected new energy into our streets. But as the recession has filled many a city code–commanded storefront window with "FOR LEASE" signs, it's the once-barren—and oft-ridiculed—surface parking lots that have begun pulsing with urban life in the form of food carts.
"The carts' success downtown has people thinking of these sorts of structures as an interim form of development that can create a destination," says Marcy McInelly, an associate principal at Sera Architects. "Traditional restaurants do that, but it takes a long time. Carts can do it very quickly."
City Center Parking, a firm owned partly by the powerful Goodman family, rules acres of downtown asphalt. For decades, many mourned the Goodmans' reluctance to develop their lots into the sort of high-density, mixed-use new buildings that long ago became urban-planning gospel. Now, economic conditions strongly suggest that new downtown high-rises won't be popping up anytime soon. Meanwhile, City Center has decided—call it enlightened self-interest—to allow carts to breed on its lots.
"It started with one, basically," says Al Niknabard, City Center's director of operations. "Then it was two. Then four. And it seemed like the more we added, the better they all did." Niknabard declines to even estimate how many carts now occupy the edges of City Center's lots. "We hardly ever have cancellations. It will go as far as classical capitalism will let it."
Yet, it's hard not to wonder: what could a smash-hit cart pod, complete with a cheerful local vibe and a foodie cult following, do for some of Portland's persistently forlorn neighborhoods? Could an Airstream slinging post-Vietnamese Southeast Asian fusion do more for Lents than any half-baked baseball stadium scheme? Should we just retire the cursed name "Burnside Bridgehead" and encourage every successful downtown cart to open a second location at NE Couch Street and Third Avenue?

Animal garden statues come in a cornucopia of styles and themes. Animals that roam the wild forests of the Rocky Mountains and deep, dark tropical jungles can be put on display with dramatic results. Meerkat statues and other cute depictions of animals make a nice addition to garden space shared with gnomes and fairies. Folks looking for Gothic animals will also find them in the form of ravens and dragon statues while those in search of mystical sculptures can't go wrong with a sculpture of a Unicorn or a Bigfoot statue. No matter what type of animal statue you go with, the best are the ones that show the highest degree of realism. However, combine that realism with a sense of humor and you end up with some of the most endearing, unique animal sculptures available.
The Laughing Pig Statue will cheer you up on the most trying of days and will put a smile on the face of every guest to your garden. This jolly farm porker is carefully painted by hand to make it look as real as possible and shows a hilarious laughing face. Pair this happy hog with the equally realistic and hilarious Laughing Cow statue and the Laughing Donkey statue to fill the backyard with cheer.
