Land for Future Development in Birmingham
Land for future development consists of sites with a policy commitment for development including 'windfall' sites. Land with a policy commitment for development ('committed') includes all sites where construction has not started but where (1) a planning permission for development or redevelopment exists (excluding residential extensions, non-residential floorspace normally less than 500m2 and other minor developments) and/or (2) proposals for development are shown in the
At April 2015, 'committed land' comprised 687 ha. of land on 907 sites across the City. It represented just over 2% of the total area of the City.
72% of 'committed' land area had the benefit of full or outline planning permission, with only 17% proposed for development in an approved plan as we await adoption of the Birmingham Development Plan for policies to 2031 the remainder fall within other planning policy commitments.
80% of sites were smaller than one hectare in size and only 9 (less than 1%) were larger than 10 hectares. It should be noted that a number of sites form part of larger clusters that are subdivided because of phasing, ownership and other factors.
386 ha. of 'committed' land was unused/vacant and a further 77 ha. of derelict land. 55 ha. of cleared vacant land was in Longbridge, of which around 37 ha. was due to site clearance at the former MG Rover factory in preparation for mixed use redevelopment. Nearly 50% of all 'committed' sites were on cleared vacant land.
92% (634 ha.) of 'committed' land sites were previously developed ('brownfield'). Some 'brownfield' sites are affected by physical, service or ownership constraints that impede development. Around one-third of 'committed' sites had at least one constraint to development, including buildings, tipping, contamination from industrial processes, underground utilities and lack of utility service. Around 9% of 'brownfield' land sites were derelict, requiring reclamation before they can be recycled back into use. The remaining sites were on 'greenfield' land.
- 30% (208 ha.) of 'committed' land were proposed for purely residential use plus a further 85 ha. for mixed residential and commercial use. Other proposed uses included 41 ha. for retail, 14 ha. for office, 27 ha. for education, 20 ha. for leisure and 48 ha. for public open space.
- 25% (175 ha.) of the 'committed' land area was proposed for industry/warehousing. Around 44% (94 ha.) of land proposed for industry was considered 'readily available' employment land with no major problems relating to physical condition or infrastructure and were on the market with a willing seller
- At April 2015, the City had an estimated total capacity of around 23,000 additional dwellings 'committed' but not yet started (new build and conversions). Of this total, land with full planning permission represented a capacity of around 8,000 dwellings (46% in the City Centre). In addition, sites with outline planning permission had approval for around 3,400 dwellings while those proposed in an approved Statutory or Non-Statutory Plan had an estimated capacity of over 10,000 dwellings, reflecting the "Urban Extension" proposed in the emerging development plan. The City is also dependent on 'windfall sites' to help meet its housing requirements. These are sites that cannot be identified in advance but come forward on 'brownfield' land (excluding re-development from clearance and conversions) and subsequently gain planning permission. Details of the dwellings identified and a category breakdown can be found in the Authority Monitoring Report 2015 and SHLAA Report 2015.
- City Centre residential proposals with full planning permission, included; a redevelopment scheme for the former Silver Blades site on Pershore Street for 334 dwellings.

Smoking Cessation Health Center
Survey: Most Smokers Want to Quit
Trying to Quit Smoking continued...
"That is the big question," said Tim McAfee, MD, MPH, during a news briefing. He is the director of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health. "The good news is that we have a series of well-tested policy-level and individual-level interventions, all of which work."
He says that one of the best ways to accomplish this lofty goal is to keep moving forward with policy changes that make it easier for smokers to do what they want to do: quit successfully. These include bans on smoking in public spaces, including outdoor areas. State programs aimed at reducing smoking have also been successful and should be encouraged and expanded.
"We also need to do more to address the issue of price," he says. "The tobacco industry is trying to undercut the price of tobacco to keep people smoking."
Role of Doctors
Doctors can also do their part to get their patients to stop smoking for good. The new report suggests that the number of smokers who have been advised by a health care professional on quitting is slightly lower than what has been seen in previous reports. This doesn't necessarily imply that doctors are dropping the ball. The order of survey questions was tweaked from previous surveys, so that could explain the finding.
"Other national data sets that examined whether smokers are getting advice to quit from their doctors have seen no change, so this slight decrease may not be real," says study researcher Ann Malarcher, PhD. She is the senior scientific advisor in the epidemiology branch of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health.
McAfee says doctors should discuss available quit-smoking medications and methods with smokers. There are more quit-smoking medications available today than ever before. These include nicotine-replacement patches, gum, lozenges, nasal sprays, and inhalers. Varenicline (Chantix) and bupropion (Zyban) are also FDA-approved to help people quit.
"Doctors should not be ganging up on, harassing, or making people feel bad about smoking because a large majority want to quit," he says.
Len Horovitz, MD, says that it is "do ask, do tell" when it comes to discussing smoking with your doctor. He is a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

GUERNEVILLE (RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY), Calif., Feb. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Founded in 1889, Korbel Brandy celebrates 125 years of brandy excellence this year. Like the smooth, award-winning flavor of Korbel Brandy, it is a milestone to savor. So, for the rest of the year, Korbel Brandy will mark the occasion with weekly 125th Anniversary Sweepstakes drawings and invites everyone to join the fun!
Francis Korbel must have seemed exceedingly optimistic when he built his first brandy still inside the brick tower at Korbel Champagne Cellars in 1889, but just four years later, Korbel Brandy was the surprise hit of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, perhaps the largest assemblage of brandies up to that time. His handcrafted approach – premium grapes, meticulous distillation, slow aging in hand-coopered oak barrels and careful blending – has guided Korbel Brandy ever since. In 1954, when the Heck family purchased Korbel Brandy from the descendants of Francis Korbel, it did so with the promise to continue this tradition of quality and two generations of Hecks have kept that promise. Today the Korbel Brandy portfolio encompasses four distinctive brandies: flavorful Korbel California Brandy, complex Korbel V.S.O.P. Gold Reserve, uniquely infused Korbel XS and rare, elegant Korbel 12.
The Korbel Brandy 125 Years of Handcraftology® Sweepstakes will begin on February 17, 2014 and continue weekly until December 28, 2014. Entries for each week's Sweepstakes drawing may be submitted either through the Korbel Brandy website at www.korbelbrandy.com/125years or through Korbel Brandy's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/korbelbrandy. Each Monday, a Sweepstakes winner will be drawn from the previous week's submissions. The weekly winner will receive an embossed, limited edition Korbel Brandy 125th Anniversary tin bar sign. Official rules for the Korbel Brandy 125 Years of Handcraftology® Sweepstakes are available at the Korbel Brandy website, www.korbelbrandy.com.
Unique among United States brandy producers, Korbel Brandy controls production from grape to bottle. Handcrafted in small batches, Korbel Brandy is aged to perfection in premium fire-toasted oak barrels to achieve golden amber color, generous butterscotch aroma and extra smooth taste.
Savor the taste – drink responsibly.

Two sisters had low birth weight dwarfism, psychomotor retardation, and congenital anomalies including hyperextensible joints, brachydactyly, clinodactyly, low total ridge counts, bilateral simian creases, and calcaneovalgus foot deformities. In addition, both girls had repeated bacterial infections and elevated serum IgA levels. The older sister had no immune response to intradermal antigens and did not develop a protective level of diphtheria antitoxin following two series of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine injections and three Schick tests. These sisters represent a newly described genetic syndrome, most probably an autosomal recessive trait.

Antibodies are important tools to detect expression and localization of proteins within the living cell. However, for a series of commercially available antibodies which are supposed to recognize G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), lack of specificity has been described. In recent publications, antisera against the histamine H4-receptor (H4R), which is a member of the GPCR family, have been used to demonstrate receptor expression. However, a comprehensive characterization of these antisera has not been performed yet. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to evaluate the specificity of three commercially available H4R antibodies. Sf9 insect cells and HEK293 cells expressing recombinant murine and human H4R, spleen cells obtained from H4R−/− and from wild-type mice, and human CD20+ and CD20− peripheral blood cells were analyzed by flow cytometry and Western blot using three commercially available H4R antibodies. Our results show that all tested H4R antibodies bind to virtually all cells, independently of the expression of H4R, thus in an unspecific fashion. Also in Western blot, the H4R antibodies do not bind to the specified protein. Our data underscore the importance of stringent evaluation of antibodies using valid controls, such as cells of H4R−/− mice, to show true receptor expression and antigen specificity. Improved validation of commercially available antibodies prior to release to the market would avoid time-consuming and expensive validation assays by the user.

With the temperatures starting to drop is time to the return of these small yellow ones always in the species of tree of the last year.
These are very small above their nests comparatively.
Would not recognize this as a living insect if were not a honeydew hungry ant to "tell" me that it is a moving being. There's interesting detail in the leaf, below it too, not sure if these are eggs or some trick to improve the camouflage.
These ants feed on the nymph's honeydew drops, the nymphs get it from the vegetation and feed the ants in exchange of protection, I believe the honeydew even increase the ants agressiveness as they become more active and prone to attack when near a scene like this.

Software and education secure Salvation Army from USB
The Salvation Army has installed software to control the use of USB flash drives on its systems after discovering a rise in the number of staff plugging unauthorised memory sticks into the network.

The Salvation Army has installed software to control the use of USB flash drives on its systems after discovering a rise in the number of staff plugging unauthorised memory sticks into the network.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.
The charity feared the rise would put data at risk because its Windows XP desktops do not offer native support for securing USB ports.
The Salvation Army has a dispersed workforce of more than 2,500 users across the country, which meant it needed a centralised method of controlling the use of USB sticks.
Martyn Croft, head of corporate systems at the Salvation Army, said the charity was securing more than 2,000 access points on its network by deploying SecureWave's Sanctuary endpoint application. This allows administrators to authorise or restrict the use of USB drives using set criteria.
However, Croft said educating users about the need for the system was crucial to making it work for the organisation.
"The security buck has to stop with the IT department, but security has to be collectively pushed throughout the organisation to the end-users - a blanket policy banning the use of USB devices is counter-productive," said Croft.
To gain the understanding and support of users, the Salvation Army has run a series of information security awareness sessions about the need to protect data.
The charity has also used a series of e-learning programmes produced by the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and Industry. These sessions have given users a more detailed understanding of topics such as managing passwords, virus vigilance, how to back-up data and how to defend against identity and phishing threats.
"Feedback from these initiatives has been positive, and it has helped staff stay secure both in work and at home when working with IT," said Croft.
The IT department has also issued Salvation Army-branded USB sticks to employees which automatically encrypt any data stored on them.
"We have ensured we create a policy whereby if you do store data on a USB device, you have a duty of care to that data," said Croft.

John Cena has a
huge HUGE amount of followers. Most people not only 'simply' love him, they adore him, many say they would even "die" for him (see for example what his followers on twitter write from time to time). So it seems only logical to assume that the 10 Weeks BodyChange program will be very successful. There is also criticism, though. Find here a collection of that criticism found on the world wide web.
"How dare "the champ"…?"
"Change Time was advertised for free…"
"Don't pay for a gym but for BodyChange…?"
"Can't pay for John Cenas Change Time…"
"John Cena's Change Time seems to be a fraud…"
"Change Time too expensive for stay at home mom"

Everyone is different and of course every relationship or connection is different, but do you have a rule for having sex on the first date? Tommy, Adam and myself discussed this recently and we each had different answers.
Perhaps your approach to this has changed over the years, or maybe it has remained the same. Check out our discussion below and share your opinions from your own experiences in the comments below.
Dating these days isn't how it used to be. With social networking apps and websites, it's both easier and more difficult to really connect with potential suitors. Gone are the days of simply meeting someone at a bar or having a friend introduce you to someone. On top of all of this, there are other factors that may making dating within the gay community more complicated or difficult for some.
To highlight one of these dating issues, a new short film called 'You're Cute For A Black Guy' debuted at Outfest Fusion, an LA film festival that showcases LGBT people of color. The film features first-person accounts of some of the experiences and unfavourable situations they've found themselves in as a result of the color of their skin. "I've totally never dated a black person before, but if I did, I totally would get with you," is an example of some of the stories shared in the film. Be sure to watch the video below (it's less than 8 minutes long).
In a recent relationship (that obviously blew up in my face), I was confronted by some interesting behaviour that I've been subject to over a dozen times lo my many dating years: the wandering eye of a new beau. Before we make the easy joke that I'm"clearly not enough man to keep the new guys interested", I'd really like to ask you boys: is it okay to flirt with or fawn over other guys in plain site of your new man in the early stages of your relationship? To put some details to my histrionics, I had been on three dates with a great guy and finally stayed over at his for the first time and we went out for breakfast the next morning. Everything was on track: I was smitten, things were moving along nicely and I'd even deleted my Grindr and Scruff thinking this could be a good one. And then, he started talking about the hot bartender from the night before… Mid hash brown, the man I had slept with the night before and was about to spend the day with, started to go on about how "god damn hot that little new bartender kid from last night" was. He explained he thought he was gorgeous; that he couldn't believe he was single; and, that he had tried to ask him out once but it seemed the guy may or may not have a boyfriend himself. I was pretty shattered.
Here I am, wondering what cute place I could take my early-stage-guy for dinner to, and he's telling me he's dripping wet horny for some (much younger by the way) kid we had serving and cleaning up our drinks the night previous… about 2 hours before we were naked together. Well, let me tell you: I did not react well. Yes, I should have been direct and told him that that bothered me, or hell, yes, I should have not cared at all and been so confident in myself as to ignore the fawn altogether, but I'm not that good a gay. I'm flawed, I'm reasonably self-conscious and I'm not someone who wants to hear how hot you think some barely 20, south american kid who is nothing like me: to me it sounds like I'm just straight up not good enough to hold your attention. Not only was his mind on someone else, it was all over a kid that I look nothing like, worrying me that maybe that's really his type and I'm the temp: "filling a position" for now, so to speak. Am I crazy to be bothered by this?!
Click through to read the rest of the story and my thoughts on this phenomenon
I started off this post as a "Behind the Cast" which for those who aren't frequenters of the site means it's an article about something going on in my personal life. And, while that category fits, I decided to change it to the broader category of all-things-gay because I realized this isn't just an issue that I've faced.
Basically, I'm here asking: "Why is it okay to hate the skinny gay?"
Since birth, I've been thin. Never had to work for it and never "escaped" it either: my weight (and very likely high metabolism) have been extremely constant throughout my 28 years. Growing up in the 80s and 90s it was frequent to hear the overweight kids get non-stop abuse in the school yard and on the weekends: today, that has definitely taken a shift. While of course there is continual bias against fat people, a shift in the mean body size of Americans and Canadians towards an all-time extreme high has seen the world and public institutions try to become more and more PC and faster to react to hatred against hate speech regarding overweight kids. As a gay, adult male, I've seen this shift in our culture as well. Sure, you'll hear the whispered comment about the overweight guy stuffed into a pair of 32's, but overall, what's acceptable to say to each other and out loud is very different.
Personally, I have friends from all walks of life: different ages, races, heights and importantly, different sizes. Some of my friends are very much the "muscle types" in our group while others are content calling themselves "average" in weight: still, others hit the polar ends of the spectrum and range from what would be considered very overweight to very skinny. Now, maybe it's just my friends (though, I'm not exactly just polling 13 people here), but I can honestly tell you that the only ones ever commented on in a negative or "this is what you need to fix" way are the skinny boys and to a much lesser extent the average size guys. The gym bunnies and fat friends are left without a mark. I don't understand it at all.
You've probably never heard of this week's crush before, but David Loren is definitely worth knowing. Earlier this week, I watched an indie gay movie, "Is It Just Me?". While most independent gay cinema isn't the greatest quality, I found this romantic gay comedy extremely charming and a pleasant surprise. Loren plays a hot newly transplanted Los Angeleno looking for love in the City of Angels. You'll have to check out my movie review, coming in the next few days.
David Loren was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He received his BA in Theatre from the University of Tulsa. Soon after graduating, he moved to LA to pursue acting. He's found work in a number of web series, independent films and television shows. Some of his TV credits include guest stints on "The Event", "The Mentalist", "Without A Trace" and regular web series roles on "Sorority Fever" and "Prom Queen".
The 5'9″ stud interests include football, baseball, backpacking, sarcasm, watching old movies, listening to film scores, reading and writing. I love me a hot nerd. On his acting resume, he includes hip-hop and modern as part of his skills. Would love to see him shake his thang.
I am sure by now you have heard this term a few times and may even be getting fed up with how much exposure it is receiving and what does it mean anyway? In simpler terms: law of attraction means: likes, attract likes.
Behavior breeds behavior, and while this sounds like a simple concept, this topic goes beyond that, and helps you learn how receive and believe you can change your life to attract what you want. It doesn't have to be a dream!
For example: If you are unhappy in your current job, it may be time to seriously consider leaving it. Your quality of life is more important than staying somewhere that you have outgrown and are only there because it is easy and safe.
Pursuing your passion should become your focus so that you don't waste anymore time in making that goal a reality. Don't look at it as a dream; actually visualize your new path. It is easier to achieve something when you can see it clearly.
Is there a nice way to tell someone you have gone on a date with that your not interested?
So I have recently become single again, after the end of my 3 year relationship and am hitting the dating scene again, and to be honest, it has not been a great experience so far! I'm not in a rush to get into another relationship, just need something to keep my mind off my ex, keep me busy and it can't hurt to get back out there and meet some new people. A little fun couldn't hurt either, if you know what I mean, ha!
I have been doing some online dating, its challenging to say the least, but I did meet my ex online so there is some hope. I went on a few dates over the past few weeks – the first one went really well actually however I just wasn't feeling ANY attraction at all, which is not a good sign right? So after the date, he said "we should do this again" which I responded to with "yea, for sure!" as I was still not sure how I felt about him at that point. He followed up with several messages afterwards and when he asked to see me again, I let him know that I just wasn't feeling it, but it was good meeting him. He responded with a big, bitchy "Whatever" and didn't say another word. Rude.
The next guy was WAY too old for me, like "Daddy" old, and I was just hoping he didn't ask to see me again at the end of date, which thankfully he didn't, and I just followed up online afterwards. I told him I wasn't feeling it and it was great to meet him and he responded really well with a similar response – perfect!
I have recently moved from the Gay Capital of Canada, and home base of Homorazzi, Vancouver BC, to the windy and very small city of Wellington, New Zealand. While living in Vancouver I could literally throw a quarter and hit 10 gays, but here I throw a 20 cent NZ Coin and hit 10 rednecks and their 40 sheep. I know I am going to be here for a couple of years for work, and I don't think porn and the occasional trip to Sydney will satisfy my gay gene. So I bit the bullet and done all the necessary gay set ups, such as…

Horseback riding isn't the only thing you need to do this winter! Check out the top 10 environmentally friendly winterization tips for your barn.
From Laurie Cerny for Green Horsekeeping Guide
"Taking care of what you have as a horse owner goes a long way toward being green," says Laurie Cerny, editor and publisher of Green Horsekeeping Guide. "Anytime you have to replace something, either from damage done by a horse or because of negligent maintenance, it not only costs you money, it also costs the environment."
Here are the top 10 "green" tasks horse owners should do before winter:
- Winterize the barn. This means repairing or replacing broken windows and doors, and making sure that they close completely to keep out cold air and drafts. If you have a bathroom and/or heated wash rack, wrap the water heater with an insulated blanket. Hot water pipes can also be wrapped to help save energy. Refill under stall mats where needed, or haul in fill in stalls without mats. Remove anything that's not used during the winter like fans (blow off fan and motor with an air compressor), and any liquids (fly spray, hoof black, fence paint, etc.) that might freeze in an unheated barn.
- Harrow pastures or use a pitchfork and break up manure piles.
- Spread manure and compost on hay fields and pastures that are resting for the winter.

- Drain hoses and roll them up and store them indoors. Unused water tanks should be drained and cleaned with dish soap or a bleach mixture – then turn them upside down if left outside. A run-in shed or a horse trailer that isn't going to be used during the winter is another good place to store water tanks.
- Give your show tack a good cleaning and bring it indoors for the winter. This will protect it from the damaging effects of extreme temperatures, as well as prevent potential damage from mice and other critters and insects that might over winter in your barn.
- Wash fly sheets, fly masks, stable sheets and unused halters. Repair any tears in blankets, masks and leg wraps. Then store them in a sealed container like a tote.
- Clean out horse trailers after their last use. If you don't plan on using the trailer over the winter, either store it inside, or tarp it – making sure to cover the tires. Empty perishable items from the trailer's tack compartment, dressing room and living quarters. Remove anything that could get damaged if the roof or windows leak. Put a couple of handfuls of mothballs inside to help repel mice and other pests.

- Make sure that fences are in good repair, including working electric. Replace rotted boards and posts. You definitely don't want to be digging postholes in the frozen ground.
- Paint gates. Gates seem to rust quickly in seam areas, as well as areas damaged by use and by horses. Use either sandpaper or a wire brush to remove rust, then follow up with a coat of primer and a rust-deterring paint.
- Stock up on staples: Filling the barn with hay for winter goes without saying, however, stocking up on bedding, stall freshener products, salt blocks and dewormer helps to eliminate unnecessary trips to the store.

Listen to any global media outlet. One way or another, the 'journalist' finds a way to insert a negative about either Russia or its courageous president, Vladimir Putin, in the story. The smirking lead anchors always use inflammatory rhetoric like 'existential threat', 'aggression' or 'resurgence' when they malign anything Russia.
According to the June opinion poll conducted by the Public Opinion Fund, when asked what outcome of the US elections is advantageous for Russia, 37 percent of Russians said that they found the question difficult to answer. Twenty-six percent of the polled said that the US presidential vote was unimportant for Russia

Below is a list of well to fairly well known wizards of Aquerra who are known for their skill and accomplishment in the arcane arts. These are the people that bards might tell tales and sing songs of, and that people who care for such things would know by description.
Note: It is fairly important to note that this is based on reputation, and while some official titles are shown here, this cannot be taken to assure the veracity of such reports. In addition, some of the people listed here may not technically be wizards.

I'm having difficulty finding the appropriate form of the word memory that would fit my title. It probably isn't memorial as that's a noun. What would you suggest?

Queenstown Police are ''absolutely satisfied'' a girl spotted
in Queenstown on New Year's Eve is not missing British girl
Madeleine McCann.
In a statement released yesterday, Detective Sergeant Brian
Cameron, of Queenstown, said police had identified the girl,
but declined to release any details about the child.
''For the sake of privacy of the child involved, I'd rather
not go into any detail at all.
''It's not the first time there's been a mistaken identity.
It does relate to the same girl.''
On May 3, 2007, the 3-year-old went missing from the Ocean
Club complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal, while on holiday with
her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, brother Sean and sister
A global hunt which ensued failed to find the child.
On December 5 that year, CCTV footage taken from The
Warehouse in South Dunedin showed a girl similar to Madeleine
being led into the store by a man.
In March 2010, police confirmed the sighting had been
investigated and the child was not Madeleine.
Since her disappearance, several other people in Otago have
claimed to have seen girls resembling Madeleine. Sightings
have been reported in Milton, Alexandra and Queenstown.
On New Year's Eve, a Queenstown retailer contacted police
after a young blond-haired girl entered her store with a man.
The woman said the girl had the same eye defect as Madeleine
- a rare blemish on the right eye called a coloboma of the
iris - and neither the girl or the man she was with spoke
while being served.
After contacting police, the woman also called the 24-hour
Find Madeleine hotline. British police then contacted police
in Queenstown.
Det Sgt Cameron declined to give further details on where the
girl was sighted because the informant did not want any
''undue publicity''.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Test System
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16GHz (9.5x333MHz)
Memory: 2x 1GB DDR3-1600XMP OCZ (Supplied by OCZ)
Hard Disk: 500GB Western Digital SE16 (Supplied by Western Digital)
Graphics Card: GIGABYTE 9800GX2 (Supplied by GIGABYTE)
Cooling: GIGABYTE 3D Galaxy II (Supplied by GIGABYTE)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista SP1
Drivers: nForce Driver 15.17, Forceware 175.16
Now we get stuck into the testing phase of the review. Today we are using only the ASRock boards against each other to see just which one is the better choice.
Stock settings were run with the CPU at 9.5x333MHz and with a DDR3 memory ratio of 1333MHz. At overclocked speeds, the divider was lowered to 6x and the bus speeds were 507MHz for the P43 and 512MHz for the P45 with a memory ratio set to 1:1.

EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems.
First on the list is our synthetic benchmark run for the memory subsystem. Both boards use an identical memory controller, so at stock speeds we see identical results. At overclocked speeds we see only a tiny increase in speed to the P45.

"Stobi" Stobi by Pijlmans
Stobi Travel Guide: 42 reviews and 183 photos
Stobi is the largest archaeological site in Macedonia. It is located near the village Gradsko, on the highway from Veles to the south.
Together with Heraclea Lyncestis near Bitola this was also the most interesting site. Other archaeological sites I've visited are Skupi near Skopje and Plaosnik in Ohrid.
Stobi was built at the crossing of two important old Roman roads: the Axios Way along the river Vardar connected Stobi with Skupi (Skopje) and the Diagonal Way connected Stobi with Heraclea Lyncestis (Bitola).
The site has likely been inhabited since before the 4th century BC. The Roman ruins date from the 2nd-6th century AD. In the 6th century the city was abandoned after a series of earthquakes.
When we were in Stobi in the spring of 2008, an extra surprise were the seas of flowers which added extra beauty to the site.
Have a look at the Map of Stobi to get an idea of the size of the site.
In my tips you can find some information about the structures of Stobi:
North Basilica
Civil Basilica
Central Basilica and Synagogues
Palace of Polycharmos / House of Psalms
City Fountain
Large Bath
House of Peristerias
Theodosian Palace
House of the Fuller
Prison Area
Episcopal Residence
Semicircular Square
Episcopal Basilica
Defense Wall
New excavation
Close to the Theater of Stobi, and at the main entrance of the site, is a bar/restaurant, with toilet facilities.
There is also a museum shop with a good selection of books about Stobi and other archaeological sites. You can also buy replicas of famous Macedonian artifacts here.
2012 UPDATE: When we wanted to have a short stop at this bar at Stobi on our way from Negotino to Skopje, the bar was almost completely broken down. We heard the construction was not safe, they had to tear it down. Maybe a new bar and shop will arise here??
In total, we spend about two hours at the site. The site is big, and there is no shadow, so go well prepared: take sun cream and water!
If you cannot stand the heat, you can take a virtual tour from the north to the south by visiting my Stobi Travelogues.

Our bus drove by these ruins but didn't stop. I was angry, because they look interesting.
How did you get to this place ? By taxi or hiring a car ? From Veles or Prilep ?
Nice tips, I learnt something.
Great info. Will have to see if I can get hold of the book!
At such an ancient site you really need to know what you're looking at. Excellent photos and tips, Dennis :-)

I find my Mac's syslogd "Cosole" logs become unusable when some badly written app (PathFinder.app in this case) incessantly spews into syslogd all day long.. I read somewhere that you could disable logging PER app by..
Creating an alias to the executable bundle inside the App "package", and then ONLY launching that alias FROM the terminal. The process was... Browse to /Applications/ObnoxiousLogger.app, right click, "Show Package Contents", and then Browse to...
Then you make the alias through the GUI and remember to always launch the app from that alias, again ONLY via the terminal.
This is annoying, as you HAVE to create the alias via the Finder (symlinking doesn't work, and there is no way to create an alias via the terminal). And if it gets launched ANY other way, youre back to square one, logorrhea.. This method DID work, but for a very short amount of time.
It would seem you could set this via a launchctl command, or a plist variable, but this isn't an app that is opened by launchd, and launchd's documentation is so all-over the place, but I guess this is a possibility, I suppose.
I saw something about sending the log to /dev/null, but it wasn't clear if this was some kind of syslogd pipe, or command, or an /etc/syslogd.conf setting, or what...
Please let me know if you have a surefire way to selectively silence logging per application, or even better, increase or decrease the logging verbosity, per process / command, etc in Mac OS X.

Books Reading Tonight
posted by April 4 at 9:45 AMon
A book about rapidly dying polar bears and three other readings going on tonight.
First up, at University Temple United Methodist Church, Isabel Allende is taking part in a discussion and Q&A on her newest book, Sum of Our Days, about the death of her daughter. I haven't read this one, but a few days ago on Slog, a discussion broke out about books on grief. This is probably a good book about grief. Allende can be a spotty writer, but she's one of the few writers I know who actually gets better when she gets emotional.
At Elliott Bay Book Company, R.V. Branham (and 'friends') will be reading from Curse and Berate in 69+ Languages. Note the clever use of the '69,' which is both a number and a sexual position. Get it? It's so naughty!
And at Town Hall, Gayle Greene reads from Insomiac, which is all about insomniacs. This looks like a really interesting one, to me, and also it seems like a good place to meet fellow insomniacs. There could be sleepless, bleary-eyed, slightly grumpy romance a-bloomin', if you play your cards right tonight.
Full readings calendar, including the next week or so, here.
