I'm interested in learning how to cook some authentic Chinese dishes. Aside from being trained by a native chef, what are some good ways to learn?
Going past simply recipes, I'm particularly interested in learning about what characteristics make the food "authentic," and how I can invent new dishes that would still be considered authentic style.

I applied online and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Princeton Consultants.
Interview Details I submitted an online application & got a phone call from their human resources consultant later that day. He asked me a few questions including my strongest programming language, my level of skill in that language on a 1-10 scale, my expected salary, whether I was alright with wearing a suit to work everyday, whether I was alright with significant travel. He told me I seemed like a strong candidate for the job & asked me to take an online reasoning assessment. I took the assessment and scored well & he told me he would contact me soon regarding next steps. He didn't get back to me for about 10 days, so I emailed him & he told me that the firm had decided to undertake a hiring freeze, but that he would get back to me if/when the freeze was over. He was very friendly about it & offered to put me in contact with some other firms he consults for that might be good fits for my background.

I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Princeton Consultants.
Interview Details Applied online. Was contacted by HR director. We discussed some details about the position. I had to take an online argument test which had me evaluate argument and follow logic. After I passed the test, I was scheduled for another phone conversation with would be my direct supervisor. After the phone conversation, I was then scheduled for an in person interview. To start the interview, I talked to the HR director. I then had to take, yet again, more logic tests. A timed logic, mathematical pattern recognition and a vocabulary test (really). After that, I met with staff and discussed the position with some technical coding questions that I needed to write on the white board for. I was taken to lunch which was very nice and needed because the interview was very long. At the end of the interview, I finished with HR director to talk about next steps. Suit and tie are required for the interview and the job.

Very Easy Interview
The process took a day - interviewed at Princeton Consultants in January 2012.
Interview Details I have a background in statistics/ machine learning and I interviewed with this firm primarily because I was interested in consulting. This place unfortunately inhabits the backwaters of that industry. It's has really low pay, low growth options and second rate projects - they work mainly with railroad and transportation companies and operate on super low margins. Also, the people working here are uninteresting ... not the smart over-achievers you'd expect in consulting.
During the interview, the HR manager went so far as to tell me "you're the kind of guy we want to recruit - unfortunately in the past we've hired too many people we don't want". :-/

Interview Details I did a reasoning test (I was not able to find good examples on web), then one phone interview (only questions about my experience, almost no technical questions), the whole day interview with many people about my work experience, what I expect, what they expect etc., one of these interviews was technical - pretty straightforward though.
Interview Question – Find all anagrams of a given string. Give several approaches. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I asked for a specific salary based on what I've read from glassdoor, and this was promptly accepted. I didn't negotiate because I liked that there are 40% of physicists in this company - I find it awesome since I am a physicist and like physics. They hire now since they have many projects!

He was dismissed from the academy for cheating on a test, getting caught by the teacher and then cussing the teacher out. He cussed another teacher out earlier in the year in front of other students but was not punished because he was getting special treatment due to his basketball success. Believe it.
The case of Tennessee basketball signee Chris Jones is getting a bit murkier as the day rolls on.
Earlier today we told you that Jones — the #10 point guard prospect in America according to Rivals — had been dismissed from Oak Ridge Military Academy in North Carolina. Now Jones is telling his side of the story and things do not add up.
According to Jones' coach at Oak Ridge, Stan Kowalewski: "He was dismissed from the school. I can't go into it just because of privacy issues. … This was not basketball related whatsoever and he is leaving the school in good academic standing. We are helping him to transfer to whatever school that he chooses."
But Jones had this to say to the Greensboro News & Record when asked about his departure: "It was academic. … I talked to the coaches and we decided I should go somewhere I could get better grades. It's not because of behavior or basketball-wise. I need to be able to better understand my work, and I can do that at Brittain Academy."
According to the News & Record, the website for Brittain Academy "touts a high school diploma program that allows those who register to graduate in 30 days or less." It also says, "The program consists of one test, and those who fail can retest at no cost." The site also claims that someone passed the program in just seven hours.
Bruce Pearl told The Knoxville News Sentinel that he is aware of the situation but would give no other comment. Jones said that he's been "talking to (UT's coaches) all week." "They told me it was a great choice because the way it was looking, it didn't look good. But they said I'm making a good choice. … It just dawned on me. What am I playing basketball for if I'm not going to be cleared? I had to make a decision."
Brittain Academy is not on the NCAA's official list of non-eligible, "diploma mill" high schools.
So was Jones dismissed from Oak Ridge Military Academy or did he choose to leave on his own? Was he in good academic standing or was he in danger of not being cleared academically for college?
It depends on who you ask.

Honestly, no secret that RubyEE much more productive than standard Ruby. Many use it in conjunction with a passenger, that allows to achieve excellent results in the speed of the application, and in doing so to save memory. I'm going to tell about experience of myself. I have a vps with 360 megabytes of RAM, so launching more than 6 projects becomes difficult using mongrel or thin, as these processes are continuously running in memory, regardless of whether the load on the application or not. After I installed mod_rails, I noticed an interesting feature - if anyone application is not used, the process of unloaded from memory, respectively, releasing more memory for other projects loaded. It was a pleasant surprise for me. In the other hand, ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) is more preferable than ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) and other.
So, let's go to install rubyee mod_rails. I want to give a small warning about the system's interpreter of ruby - no need to remove or recomiple from an older version (older repo), because your operating system has a hard dependency within allover packages, and the repository contains the required version of ruby. No need to touch system Ruby.
Let's start with the installation rubyee http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/download.html
You need to install some developers packages in Ubuntu case: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev
tar xzvf ruby-enterprise-X.X.X.tar.gz ./ruby-enterprise-X.X.X/installer
Ok, you have installed version RubyEE in the directory /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090421/bin/ruby Make symbolic links
sudo ln-s /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090421 /opt/ruby_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/erb /usr/bin/erb_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/gem /usr/bin/gem_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/irb /usr/bin/irb_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/rails /usr/bin/rails_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/rake /usr/bin/rake_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/rdoc /usr/bin/rdoc_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/ri /usr/bin/ri_ee sudo ln -s /opt/ruby_ee/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby_ee
Done! Now you have an independent Ruby interpreter, as well as the independent "gem", with its own set of plugins Try to check
ruby -v ruby_ee -v gem list gem_ee list
ruby script/server ruby_ee script/server
Have a joy with Ruby Enterprise Edition!
Great article. Know how to install REE on Windows. Any pointers will be helpful.

I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Raytheon in October 2011.
Interview Details An admin asst calls me on Friday to set the interview time and agrees to 1pm (she already set it) but says I need to wait for her to get back to me because she has only been able to contact and get confirmation from 4 of 5 managers. She said I should hear from her Monday morning. Monday morning rolls around,- 10am I hear nothing so I call her and leave a voicemail, I also send her an email. Forty-five minutes before the supposedly scheduled interview, I called her again and get voice mail. No contact from her whatsoever. I figure that I have to wait until she contacts me and that the interview has been postponed (since I still have no idea with whom I'm supposed to interview and no idea of the location to interview). Now it's 1pm and guess what? The hiring manager calls me to ask me why I haven't shown for the interview and that 2 managers are waiting to interview me. I explain what has happened and she then says she will have them do a phone screen (going from an in person to a phone screen--not good). Each of them asks me 4 questions and then says they have what they need. I was extremely well qualified based on the job req. Within an hour I was rejected. The admin finally responded to me saying that at least I got a phone interview. When I explained to her that I was upset that I missed an opportunity because of her foulup she says there was a recruiter involved (no there wasn't) which she copied in on the email. The recruiter never responded. The whole process was totally messed up from the start.

No scents, no flavors, no colors- just safe, ORGANIC moisturizers. My favorite.
One of the best all-natural organic lip balms on iHerb, hands down.

Definitely one of my favorites. What makes this lip balm stand out from a myriad of similar products is its ingredients. Unlike many other lip balms, it has castor oil as one of its main ingredients and doesn't contain as a preservative vitamin E, which is present in the overwhelming majority of lip balms and oftentimes genetically modified. Instead of it, this lip balm uses certified organic rosemary CO2 extract, one of the best natural preservatives. Rosemary is famous for its potent healing, rejuvenating, cell growth stimulating, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, antibiotic, and pain alleviating properties, helping heal and protect dry, chapped, and sore lips. Another great thing about Badger Company and their lip balms is that they use CO2 extraction, the most effective and natural way to extract beneficial essences from plants. Carbon dioxide is a natural product and leaves behind no residues, unlike other chemical solvents often used for this purpose. Castor oil, one of this lip balm's main ingredients, does wonders for dry and chapped lips. It's known for its amazing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-allergic, antioxidant, detoxifying, moisturizing, nourishing, soothing, and healing properties, making your lips hydrated, soft, smooth, and healthy. Its other ingredients are noteworthy as well. Olive oil is known for its antioxidant properties and for deeply moisturizing, nourishing, regenerating, and softening the delicate skin of the lips, beeswax forms a protective barrier on their surface while still allowing the skin to breathe. This unscented lip balm is great for people with sensitive lips susceptible to allergies and inflammation. Since I started using it, I've noticed a significant improvement in the condition of my lips: they're less dry and sore, more hydrated and healthier overall. I'm also impressed that this lip balm lasts long and feels great on the lips, which is hard to find. Will definitely buy it again.
Great balm

Treasure Island is a story about greedy pirates finding treasure. The night before they reach Treasure Island, Jim overhears Long John Silver and other members of the crew plotting to kill them all. Silver offers them their lives in exchange for the treasure map, but the Captain refuses, and soon a gunfight begins. Both sides are fighting back against each other. They finally agree to make a treaty and hunt for treasure. How bad did the pirates get injured in the fight? Why did Long John Silver and his other crew members plot to kill everyone on the ship? Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson contains adventure and a ton of unpredictable moments. I felt like my eyes were glued to the book until the very last sentence. This is Cole from The Visionaries.
For me a 14 year old, it is hard with their old talk and uses hard sentences, but if you can understand it then i feel it is a great book

Former Gov. Ed Rendell, whose Democratic Party usually comes down on the side of protecting the environment, once called New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo "crazy" for backing a moratorium on gas drilling until environmental concerns could be resolved.
This past week, Rendell had a strongly worded op-ed column in the New York Daily News, attacking "vocal critics … who continue to push a false choice" by putting environmental concerns ahead of the "economic growth" of the gas boom.
"I know, because as governor of Pennsylvania from 2003 to 2011, I saw this [the economic growth] happen up close," he wrote.
Rendell, it seemed in Wednesday's column, just wanted to give New York state some helpful advice out of the kindness of his heart.

The very next day, a bunch of online troublemakers known as ProPublica divulged something that Rendell "forgot" to tell the editors of The Daily News.
He was not just speaking as Pennsylvania's former governor; he was speaking as a paid consultant for a company that has invested in the gas drilling industry.
ProPublica is not some fly-by-night Internet muckraker. It is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative nonprofit organization headed by Paul Steiger, the former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal.
ProPublica was mentioned in a 2011 story in The Morning Call, saying that the organization found more than 1,000 reports of water contamination related to hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," a process that forces a toxic soup underground to break up rock formations so they release gas.
New York, that story said, imposed a moratorium on fracking because of environmental concerns. It was pointed out that a gas drilling accident in Pennsylvania's Bradford County, on the New York line, spewed tens of thousands of gallons of the fracking solution into the Susquehanna River, and that another spill in Susquehanna County, also on the New York line, dumped the fluids into a creek.
When Rendell's column urged New Yorkers to support fracking, ProPublica reported, he did not divulge that "he has worked as a paid consultant to a private equity firm with investments in the natural gas industry," and gets about $30,000 a year from the firm, Element Partners.
Daily News opinion editor Josh Greenman, a ProPublica release said, "was unaware of Rendell's conflict, and indeed had been assured by Rendell's representative that there was none."
That was reflected in a notation The Daily News added later in the week to its online publication of Rendell's column: "Rendell is a paid consultant to Element Partners, a private equity firm with stake in a number of energy companies, including hydrofracking/natural gas interests. This information was not disclosed at the time his op-ed was submitted to the News."
Rendell's column said it is "essential" for New York to "embrace natural gas" drilling and the "economic growth" it provides: "Pennsylvania put in place strong oversight [of drilling] while allowing development throughout the Marcellus Shale, and the economic benefits were significant."
He did not mention that the economic benefits were especially significant for himself and his successor, Gov. Tom Corbett, who together have collected around $2 million in so-called "political campaign contributions" from gas industry figures. As I reported in January 2011, when Rendell was leaving office, he once accepted $84,100 in such funds at a time when there was no possibility he'd have any more political campaigns that needed financing.
I contacted Rendell's office and Element Partners and requested details on how much money he had been paid in consulting fees, but neither got back to me on that, although Rendell did tell The Philadelphia Inquirer that, "This idea that I'm a shill for natural gas companies is ludicrous."
As for the "strong oversight" Rendell mentioned, critics have accused both him and Corbett of undercutting enforcement of environmental laws, an assertion supported when two officials of the oddly named state Department of Environmental Protection were forced to testify under oath and confirmed deliberate steps to withhold disclosures about water contamination.
Despite Rendell's bid to convince New Yorkers that opposition to fracking must stop, that state's temporary fracking moratorium has remained in effect since 2010. This month, amid reports that Cuomo was about to lift it if environmental concerns were resolved, he said this: "It sounds like what I've said to you 9 million times — that this has great possible economic benefit for the state … but you have to make sure it's safe and there is no health risk."
That reflects my approach to fracking. I support it, but only if there is genuine enforcement of environmental rules and a severance tax on the gas extracted, which represents billions of dollars in profits for the industry's Texas robber barons. (After they gave Corbett seven-figure "campaign contributions," he arranged for Pennsylvania to be the only gas-producing state in America that does not collect such a tax. Even Texas collects it.)
From now on, until Rendell stops taking money from those with interests in the gas drilling industry, I'll have difficulty believing a word he says about fracking in New York or anywhere else.

you should go for the FTD releases: One night in vegas, At the international
For BMG: live in las vegas (4 cd set), Aloha from hawaii, memories.
Than you have (audio wise) the best live albums
If you go for soundboards: try the fort baxter stuff.
I have never really owned any of the live albums, I'm not sure why. But I recently bought On Stage and really enjoyed it. Now I'm wondering what you all think is the best live album, FTD or otherwise, so I can get another good one. Thanks in advance!
Before Elvis, there was nothing....
I love the FTD upgrade of "Live On Stage In Memphis" 1974...I think that remastered sound is something else!
"I oughta break you in half!"...
"If you do, you'll have two very short friends!"
About the ones that were released back in Elvis TImes...
If you liked "On Stage" that much, (my second Favourite by the way), then you should go for: "Elvis in Person". 1969 (My favourite one.)
A must have is "Live at the Madison Square Garden" 1972. (My third favourite) is such a great album, it?s a seventies classic rock album. You must have it.
I don?t think Aloha is that good compared to the Madison Square Garden concert, I Rather Go for the "Live On Stage in Memphis" 1974 as a Fourth choice concerning Elvis live albums released in his time. I put Aloha as a Fifth option.
"ELvis In COncert" 1977, if you forrget about how Elvis looked and just about how it sounded, i think this album contains some very good performances. But still your last choice if you want to start getting ELvis live albums.
About live albums released after Elvis passing.
"Tiger Man" this is the complete 8:00pm sit down concert filmed for the 68?NBC Special. A Classic event, a must have in every Elvis CD collection. (My First choice as albums released posthumosly or whatever it is said)
"Thats The Way It Is" SPECIAL EDITION. Don?t get the regular album, is a good one but just four live songs thats all, it is actually a studio album. The Special edition contains this album plus a complete concert from August 1970, and it is a great concert, you should have this one, (my second Choice)
Once there was this 3Cd box set called "Collectors GOld" two of them are studio alternate takes, and those are prety cool. But the third one is a live conert from 69?actually songs from diferent concerts of that time but it sounds as one conert anyway haha... this boxset is dificult to find nowdays, it was released in the early 90?s I was 14 or something and I love it. Still, here is where you get an absolutely great blues live jam of "Reconsider Baby", just for this live take I will get this Cd Set (only if you like the blues side onf elvis of course) is is much better than the live cut of the same song in 72' in the "AN afternoon In the Garden" live album. Also in this collectors gold release you will get the best live take of Elvis version of "WHat I?d Say". 7 minutes or so long.
About FTD releases I don?t know, Im a student on a loan so cant afort them now so... I will go for them in a few years I hope.
Yes, nice post Raiced on Rock... truly helpful.
Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.
"You've got it all together like a lovin' machine
You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream...
Mother nature's sure been good to Y-O-U"
BIG BOSS MAN by FTD..........what else would you expect me to endorse
"Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male"
An Afternon In The Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are great! I knew you'd come through for me. Now I need to print this out and go shopping!! Thanks so much.
Before Elvis, there was nothing....
lets not forget ftd's new years eve. that's the show from pitspurge on dec.31 1976. probably one of his best shows from 1976.
I agree with most replys about the best albums heres my choices ttwii se msg an afternoon in the garden elvis at the international - ftd all shook up -ftd Elvis live in vegas box set its midnight -ftd live on stage in memphis -ftd hampton roads bootleg from on tour and one of the most underrated concerts closing night 1973 ftd elvis is fooling around a lot but is voice is fantastic.
Sure, I agree with you! By the way, there is a nice Reconsider baby version there.Originally Posted by Blazej

EDMONTON - When I was four, my parents enrolled me in a playschool program at the neighbourhood Baptist church.
We weren't Baptist. My dad was a non-observant Jew, who ate matzos at Passover and honey garlic spareribs at the Empress of China. My mother was nominally Lutheran, but her mother, my Oma, was resolutely irreligious. She celebrated Christmas because Germans are crazy about Christmas. But our traditions were about pfeffernusse cookies and red cabbage more than Jesus.
So when our preschool class was taken to see the church nativity scene, I was perplexed. According to family lore, I came home very upset — afraid the cow was going to eat the baby.
Clearly, my knowledge of the dietary habits of cattle was as fuzzy as my grasp of the New Testament.
I think I was honestly horrified.
What kind of person would put a baby in a manger?
Decades later, that question, for me, captures the fundamental contradiction and mystery at the heart of the Christmas nativity story.
This holiday celebrates the birth of a sacred baby who brings hope to the world.
But according to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, that infant in the manger isn't just a kid with superpowers.
He is God Incarnate.
It's an extraordinarily radical, subversive idea.
The revolutionary doctrine of the Christian Trinity is premised on the idea that God, the creator of the universe, would actually humble Himself, becoming a helpless newborn infant.
Plenty of myths and faiths before the time of Christ featured the archetypal trope of a holy, promised child, a miraculous birth. The Egyptians had Horus. The Hindus had Krishna. The ancient Greeks had Dionysus. Buddha's birth story, too, is in some ways analogous to that of Jesus Christ. There's plenty of debate and controversy about whether the Gospel of Luke, the source of the beloved traditional Christmas story, borrowed any elements from more ancient nativity narratives. But the Christian nativity story is subtly, but powerfully, different.
The baby Jesus isn't just a god, hero, or prophet.
For Christians, he's God.
No faith before had ever quite conceived of an omnipotent being who would humble Himself, not just by assuming the guise of human flesh, but actually becoming incarnate in a powerless baby, sleeping in a box of cattle feed.
Miracle babies in many mythologies were born full of power. Infant Hermes stole Apollo's cattle. Infant Hercules strangled two giant snakes. Baby Superman can lift a truck. But despite the angel choirs, the curious shepherds, the star-watching Wise Men, lying in that manger, the infant Jesus seems as human and vulnerable as any newborn.
It's doubtless presumptuous of me, a non-Christian, to seek to explain the meaning of Christmas. But from my perspective, standing outside the creche, looking in, I wonder if that vulnerability might be the real message of the nativity, one that gets lost under gift wrap and cant.
We are all so desperately afraid to be vulnerable, to be humbled. We insulate ourselves from the fragility of our humanity, seeking social status, economic security, magic cures. We waste millions on vitamin pills and antibacterial soaps and homeopathic "treatments", we comfort ourselves with iPads and iPods, designer clothes and designer food. We want our power and possessions to protect us, not just from violence or disease, but from loneliness and longing.
And when we hear about the homeless or addicted or poor, we can be quick to judge, as though to reassure ourselves that such horrors could never happen to us.
But we are all vulnerable. We are all mortal.
That's the source of our common humanity.
I can't tell you I believe the historic truth of Luke's nativity story. But I respect what I see as its symbolic truth. To humble ourselves, to accept our vulnerability, is frightening. Yet that weakness is also strength. The capacity to love, to risk the potential pain that comes with opening our hearts, is the greatest protection and redemption we have, and the greatest power.
Christmas can be a time of stress and alienation, of envy and bitter disappointment. For different reasons, many people feel they're on the outside, looking in, that their lives bear no resemblance to the conventional TV version of the holiday. But if we're lucky this week, no matter what our faith, or lack thereof, we might snatch a quiet moment to feel gratitude and connection, to ponder our responsibility to our fellow man. And if we're very lucky indeed, we may love. And be loved in return.

Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Westmoreland, has endorsed the new agreement between the Collage of William and Mary and the Department of Veterans Affairs that seeks to speed up disability claims.
On Thursday, the W&M law school agreed to join a VA effort that helps veterans submit full developed claims, which can be processed faster than those requiring additional detail. The Veterans Benefit Clinic at W&M enlists law school students to help veterans for free, and their work has garnered national attention.
Sen. Mark R. Warner, who has promoted the Veterans Benefit Clinic as a national model, made the announcement on campus.
Wittman has also supported the clinic's cause. He wrote to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki in July push the clinic as a model and center of excellence for others to follow.
On Friday, Wittman issued a statement supporting Lewis B. Puller Jr. Veterans Benefit Clinic joining the Fully Developed Claims Community of Practice at the VA.

David Tennant reads four sonnets, including number 18 'Shall I compare these to a summer's day'.
Fiona Barclay from Touch Press, talking about the publication at the Appside Publishing Apps event in London earlier this week made much of the way that the app works with social networking – the sonnets can be taken from the app and emailed or Tweeted to friends or shared via Facebook
"That's all part of the marketing." she said. "We've taken each and every sonnet and made a webpage, and you can view each and every sonnet that you're going to pay £9.99 for in the app, and you can view it and share it… A lot of the content in the app is freely available."
The idea is that it is an experiment: rather than cannibalising sales, this will actually drive them.
So far media folks lucky enough to have had a sneak peak at the new interactive book have all had great things to say. Robert Collins in the Sunday Times said of the project "A masterly app … It's all so intuitively easy to use and so superbly thorough that you start to feel that this is precisely what a book should be. As accessible as it is scholarly, it's an extraordinary achievement, that brings the sonnets bracingly to life and definitively sets the bar for the future of digital reading."
The Sonnets by William Shakespeare for iPad will be released worldwide on 28th June 2012
and available from the iTunes App Store priced at £9.99 (US $13.99) itunes.com/appstore.
The complete set of 154 video performances will also be available on Region 0 PAL DVD from Illuminations in July – pre-order now

AIr Purifier model 1700
This purifer does not say that the life of the Hepa Filter in it will be cut short if exposed to cigarette smoke. In fact the box of the machine lists it as one of the things it cleans out of the air. This did disappoint me. One morning I got up and it smelled like a bar in my living room instead of fresh and clean. This was two weeks ago. The Hepa Filter in it has had six months use. It also stops pulling particles from the air when this happens. So great machine but plan on spending bucks if you smoke. Pay no mind to the box it does not control cig., smoke odor!
Hepa filter
This product is exactly what I needed. I tried several places to purchase this product, but it was unavailable. I found your site on the net and very pleased you had the proper Hepa filter to fit my several year old air purifier. I also was surprised when it arrived so soon after ordering. My rating is an A+ on the Hepa filter and delivery time.
The hepa filter I received for the model # that I own is much smaller than the one that fits the machine. I've made due, but not happy about it.

What is Flatulence?
Flatulence occurs when a combination of gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) travel from an animal's stomach to the anus.
A dog or cat can produce vile smelling farts – this is due to small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture that contain sulfur. Your animal's diet is likely to be protein-rich – producing stinky gasses as protein converts to lots of sulfur!
If your pet suddenly starts producing very stinky farts, a check up is recommended – as it may be symptomatic of digestive disturbance or underlying condition that needs treatment.

NORWICH — What do Iron Man and the Disney princesses have in common, other than having their own movie franchises? They all could be found Saturday at Dodd Stadium during the third annual Spook-a-thon, sponsored by Panera Bread and partner 97.7 WCTY.
The Halloween festival is a fundraiser that benefits Connecticut Sports Foundation, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to cancer patients and their families.
"This is an awesome cause," Rebecca Theriaque, of Plainfield, said. "As cancer survivors, I like what the foundation stands for, and this is a great concept that brings happiness and education."
Theriaque discovered she had ovarian cancer while delivering her son, LJ, now 6. What doctors assumed was a blood-filled cyst was determined to be cancer on the umbilical cord, which had spread from Theriaque's unknown ovarian cancer.
LJ and Theriaque were both cancer-free not long after the birth, but Rebecca was diagnosed anew with an abdominal cancer in March.
"This cause is worthwhile because most people know someone battling cancer. It can happen to anyone," said Jane Ellis, executive director of Connecticut Sports Foundation. "The benefit of our event is that it is local, and community members can see where the money is going. It's tangible."
The event began with a complimentary breakfast hosted by Panera. While attendees washed down their cream cheese-covered bagels with hot beverages, they listened to "Mustang Sally" performed by the Déjŕ vu Doo band and browsed a raffle table featuring 13 prizes, including the latest Kindle e-reader.
Costumed children hopped from station to station, participating in pumpkin-painting, face-painting and cookie-decorating. But the whole family united to walk through the haunted dugout, ride the hayrides and partake in contests.
The Theriaques were among the families hoping to win big.
LJ dressed as a robot he dubbed the Candybot 9000. As LJ held hands with Rebecca and his father, James, they said they had to bring their "A-game" this year, since LJ's Swedish Chef (a Muppets character) won first place last year in the Kid Costume category.
As LJ made stiff movements to emulate a robot, the family said this year's costume was constructed using cardboard boxes, a popcorn bucket, Christmas lights, an old computer, a cellphone and a tablet.
"An event like this brings a smile to my face and many others who just want to be a part of something," Rebecca Theriaque said.
And the Theriaques had even more to smile about, because LJ shared a win with Bella Grace, dressed as Boo from "Monsters, Inc.," for Kid Costume.
Other costume winners were Josh McDougal in Adult for his Frankenstein, and the Mullenix family in Group as minions.
In addition, a top fundraiser award was given to Paula Floryan, general manager for the Wethersfield Panera, who raised $450 for her team.

The HP EX470/475 MediaSmart Server is a great little box at a great price. But this comes at the compromise of performance. I've already told you how to upgrade the skinny 512k to a whopping 2GB (Note: if you haven't done that yet, then stop reading this right now and go do that first). Now lets really get our hands dirty and upgrade the processor!
The stock processor in the HP EX470 is the paltry 1.8GHz AMD Sempron 3400+ which is a Socket AM2 (940) (AMD part # SDD3400IAA3CN) which is fine for schlepping files between hard drives. But we want real power so in this article as will be upgrading to an 2.6GHz AMD LE-1640 Orleans (45W). Those of you with at least a fifth grade education may have noticed that 2.6GHz is substantially greater than 1.8GHz (sixth graders know that it's 45% greater), but the LE-1640 also increases the processor's L2 cache to 1MB (from 256KB in the Sempron).
Before we proceed, a little fine print.
Replacing the processor will most definitely void your warranty. Although this operation worked for me and my particular computer, I can not guarantee and will not be held liable if it does not work for you or causes damage to your computer. It's also not for the faint of heart. You alone are responsible for your actions.
That out of the way, lets begin.
What you'll need (or Get out your Credit Card)
The processor we will be using is the 2.6GHz AMD LE-1640 Orleans (45w) which can be ordered from Amazon.com for the bargain basement price of only $51 (click here to order).
It appears as thought the LE-1640 had been discontinued on Newegg, but they now sell it again and for only $35. So you should probably check both Newegg and Amazon.com.
You will also need some thermal grease. Everyone that I know of who has ever built their own PC recommends Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound and NewEgg has conveniently placed it near the bottom on the screen as one of the "Essentials".
Normally I skip by all of these up-sell items, but this one you do really need. Just check the box and click "Add item with Selected" which will add both the processor and the thermal grease to your cart.
Before you begin, do yourself a favor and run out and get a #00 Phillips head screwdriver. I paid $2.49 for this one at my local hardware store.
Installation Instructions
- In my article "Upgrade the Memory in your HP EX470 or EX475", I've already explained how to disassemble the HP EX470 so I won't waste column inches here. First, follow steps 1-14 of that article to remove the motherboard and the memory.
- With the motherboard removed and on a work surface, unplug the power supply (the large 20 pin connector) and bend it out of the way. This will help when we remove/replace the heat sink. Note: Click on this and any subsequent picture to enlarge.
- Next we will need to remove the processor's heat sink. To do this, use a medium Phillips head screw driver to loosen the 4 spring loaded screws.
- Gently twist the heat sink back and forth a few times and then use a flat screwdriver to gently pry it upward. Be careful not to damage the motherboard, memory socket or the heat sink. The heat sink is bonded to the processor with thermal paste (which acts like, well, paste) so a little resistance can be expected.
- Now is a good time to thoroughly clean off the old thermal paste as we will be reusing the heat sink. It is recommended that you use isopropyl alcohol, but as I was fresh out, I settled for Vodka.
- Now lets remove the processor. Move the silver lever that locks in the processor, by pulling it outward, to clear the incredibly small white plastic tab holding it down, and then up. Move the lever until it snaps into place, so that it is perpendicular to the motherboard.
- You should now be able to easily remove the processor. Beware that the pins bend very easily, so you should lift straight out of the holes. Assuming that you will be saving this old processor, handle with care and set aside.
- Carefully open the new box containing our new processor. Again, as with removing the old processor, beware that the pins bend very easily if you are not careful. Before you even bring the processor near the socket, orient it correctly so that you can just pick it up and drop it in. The less handling time with this little brain, the better. How do you orient it? Note the key indication (a small triangle) on both the socket and processor. The triangle on the socket is faintly embossed on the white plastic, in the lower left hand corner (so faint it evades photography) while the triangle on the processor is copper (see photo). Pick up the processor (by the green corners or sides) so that it's triangle is in the lower left hand corner and now you may bring it to the socket, lining up the pins with the holes. Again, be nice to those pins. It should just drop in. Do not push, jam, force or otherwise cajole it. If it doesn't fall in, gently realign until it does.
- Lower the lever on the socket to lock the processor in place.
- This might be a good time to place the old processor in the new processor's packaging and put it away in case you ever need it again (like if you ever need to return the EX470 to HP for servicing).
- Apply a small drop of Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound to the new processor (about the size of 1 and 1/2 grains of rice). A good tutorial on best practices can be read here. As Arctic Silver recommends: "less is more".
- Place the heat sink back on the new processor. It should only fit on one way, but the trick here is to look for the serial number. It should be facing you. A printed manufacturer's date should face away from you (at least that's how mine is).
- Tighten the screws in this order: 1 upper-left, 2 lower-right, 3 upper-right, 4 lower-left (i.e. you are making an "X" pattern). Hold the heat sink down with your other hand firmly, so that it really stays put as you as you tighten the screws. But not so forcefully that you crush anything, big guy.
- Reattach the power supply connector that we removed in step 2 above.
- Reassemble the computer, reversing steps 14 - 1 from the "Upgrade the Memory in your HP EX470 or EX475" article.
- Power up the EX470 and you are back in business.
- Use the Vodka from step 5 above and pour yourself a celebration shot!
Oh, if you are just noticing that we didn't use the heat sink and fan that come with the processor, you didn't miss anything. Throw it away, recycle it, paint a face on it and play chess with it, but you don't need it here.
Before and After
Here is a series of before and after snapshots of tests of the system, showing that vital statistics (e.g. system temperature) stay basically the same while we gain roughly 40% in raw system performance over various parameters.
Hardware Status
Here is a look at my hardware status BEFORE the processor upgrade (left) and after (right). You get to this by going to the Hardware Status panel of the Windows Home Server Settings dialog. I have all 4 drive bays loaded with 500 and 750 GB drives and the system was idle and not balancing storage. At first the CPU (and thus the system) ran 3-4 degrees hotter than before. The next morning I was happy to see that it had settled down such that the CPU is now running the same (or 1 degree cooler) and the system temperature is actually 3 degrees cooler.
On the Resource panel of the Windows Home Server Settings dialog it shows the processor and amount of memory installed. The operating system can not determine the model name of the new processor for some reason, and is reported as "model unknown". This is normal and the likely cause is the BIOS.
CPU-Z Results
Here are the results from running CPU-Z both before and after (click to enlarge):
Both of these screen shots were taken when the processor was active, when idle the core speed would show 1000 and 1800 MHz respectively. This is because AMD CPUs have Cool'n'Quiet Technology which reduces the core speed during periods of low CPU utilization.
Again we see that the new processor is reported as "unknown model".
CPU Test
In the following test, I used PerformanceTest by Passmark Software to to evaluate the system performance before (graph in red) and after (shown in green) the processor upgrade. In this first set of tests, we measure the CPU performance. FYI, in the charts, a larger number is better, although I have no idea why the default report is a negative percent slower rather than a positive percent faster, but that is neither here nor there.
Memory Tests
In this next set of tests, we measure Memory access. Again, a larger "Result" number shows better performance.
Disk Tests
In this last test, we measure disk read and write performance. Here I wouldn't expect such dramatic performance increases as we are dealing with the same hard drive.
Overall Performance Marks
Overall, the new processor performed very well against it's 1.8 GHz predecessor. Making our $55 investment well worth the cost in my opinion.
I stand on the shoulders of giants
Sure I took the time to write out these instructions and did a little background digging and may have suggested that a processor upgrade should be possible in my article "Processor Upgrade for EX470", but I can't take all of the credit. I read over on the MSDN forums that someone by the name of rtsirois and a bunch of folks at mediasmartserver.net had first upgraded their EX470 with a processor that would work. Their work motivated me to turn it into a tutorial so congratulations and thanks for the find!
Will It Float?
Sure the new processor hold up under idle conditions, but how does it fare under full load stress test conditions? I put it to the test in my next article... "Heating Things Up".
