is it possible to brew beer using cilantro?
It's possible, but cilantro's flavor relies on several very volatile flavor compounds. If you end up with the wrong ones, you might end up with a soapy beer.
See Harold McGee's article from yesterday's New York Times about the various flavor compounds and how they affect taste.
I would be very careful about this. As a cook, I'm generally very careful with cilantro for anything but fresh use. If I knew that my drinkers were cool with cilantro flavor, I'd only "dry-hop" with fresh cilantro, and only for a day at most.
There are multiple beers brewed using coriander seeds(cilantro seeds), also I am not sure if there is enough oil in cilantro that you could impart the flavor through dry hopping, you would have grind it up fine, but then it would be like drinking a salad.

Vista Group shares will sell at a confirmed offer price of
$2.35, raising $40 million in new capital to fund
acquisitions and development plans.
Existing shareholders will sell 22 million shares to take the
total offer size to $92 million, retaining a 47% stake in the
Chairman Kirk Senior said the price placed an indicative
market capitalisation on the company of $188 million, with a
total of 80 million shares on offer.
Vista provides software to the film industry through six
business units. The company has more than 250 staff across
six offices in the New Zealand head office, the United
States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia and
Mr Senior said the group's business case resonated well with
the investment community as reflected in the final price,
which was just below the midpoint of the indicative range of
$2.10 to $2.70 a share.
''At this price, the offer was more than two times covered -
showing a strong level of support from investors. In
particularly, they have demonstrated confidence in our
management team and our strategy to become a broader global
film industry software company,'' he said.
The offer opened yesterday and closes on August 1. Vista was
expected to start trading on the NZX and ASX on August 11.

travel booking system company, debuted.
Next week, IkeGPS Group, which sells a range of portable

I had a very strange behavior with my Apache setup and then fixed it, however I would like to understand what really happened. My httpd.conf LOOKED like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com
<Directory "/path/to/mysite.com">
=== THEN, I wanted to add a 2nd different host, with the same IP but different domain name, so I added the following after to the file (after the above lines)
<VirtualHost adifferentdomain.com:80>
ServerName adifferentdomain.com
ServerAlias www.adifferentdomain.com
<Directory "/path/to/adifferentdomain.com">
====== THE end result: When you browsed for mysite.com you would see the content from adifferentdomain.com . When you browsed for adifferentdomain.com you would see adifferentdomain.com
So what exactly happened? Was that a standard redirection? Or what exactly was the "understanding" from a regular browser?
My question is because this affected my google ranking dramatically, and I want to know what exactly did Google see.

MySQLby Paul DuBois
With over 11 million installations, MySQL is the most widely used open source database management system worldwide. Many of the world's largest and fastest-growing organizations use MySQL to power high-volume Web sites, business-critical systems and packaged software -- including industry leaders such as Yahoo, Google, The Associated Press, Suzuki, and NASA. MySQL 5.1 is a significant new version of the database that further brings MySQL up to the level of an enterprise-class database system. In MySQL, Paul DuBois provides a comprehensive guide to using MySQL effectively and productively. He describes everything from the basics, to using MySQL to generate dynamic Web pages, to administering MySQL servers. The fourth edition of this bestseller has been reviewed by top developers in the MySQL community and incorporates feedback from readers and top MySQL developers. With detailed coverage of new features and improvements in MySQL 5.1, this is the most comprehensive and thorough edition to date. This new edition includes extended coverage of stored programs -- stored procedures, functions and triggers; coverage of a new type of stored program -- events; a completely new chapter on "Stored Programs"; completely rewritten PHP chapter and appendix.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1: Introduction to MySQL and SQLThis chapter provides an introduction to the MySQL relational database management system (RDBMS), and to the Structured Query Language (SQL) that MySQL understands. It lays out basic terms and concepts you should understand, describes the sample database we'll be using for examples throughout the book, and provides a tutorial that shows you how to use MySQL to create a database and interact with it.
Begin here if you are new to databases and perhaps uncertain whether or not you need one or can use one.You should also read the chapter if you don't know anything about MySQL or SQL and need an introductory guide to get started. Readers who have experience with MySQL or with database systems might want to skim through the material. However, everybody should read the section "A Sample Database" because it's best if you're familiar with the purpose and contents of the database that we'll be using repeatedly throughout the book.
How MySQL Can Help You
This section describes situations in which the MySQL database system is useful. This will give you an idea of the kinds of things MySQL can do and the ways in which it can help you. If you don't need to be convinced about the usefulness of a database system-perhaps because you've already got a problem in mind and just want to find out how to put MySQL to work helping you solve it-you can proceed to "A Sample Database."
A database system is essentially just a way to manage lists of information. The information can come from a variety of sources. For example, it can represent research data, business records, customer requests, sports statistics, sales reports, personal hobby information, personnel records, bug reports, or student grades. However, although database systems can deal with a wide range of information, you don't use such a system for its own sake. If a job is easy to do already, there's no reason to drag a database into it just to use one. A grocery list is a good example:You write down the items to get, cross them off as you do your shopping, and then throw the list away. It's highly unlikely that you'd use a database for this. Even if you have a palmtop computer, you'd probably use its notepad function for a grocery list, not its database capabilities.
The power of a database system comes in when the information you want to organize and manage becomes voluminous or complex so that your records become more burdensome than you care to deal with by hand. Databases can be used by large corporations processing millions of transactions a day, of course. But even small-scale operations involving a single person maintaining information of personal interest may require a database. It's not difficult to think of situations in which the use of a database can be beneficial because you needn't have huge amounts of information before that information becomes difficult to manage. Consider the following situations:
- Your carpentry business has several employees.You need to maintain employee and payroll records so that you know who you've paid and when, and you must summarize those records so that you can report earnings statements to the government for tax purposes. You also need to keep track of the jobs your company has been hired to do and which employees you've scheduled to work on each job.
- You run a network of automobile parts warehouses and need to be able to tell which ones have any given part in their inventory so that you can fill customer orders.
- As a toy seller, you're particularly subject to fad-dependent demand for items that you carry.You want to know what the current sales trajectory is for certain items so that you can estimate whether to increase inventory (for an item that's becoming more popular) or decrease it (so you're not stuck with a lot of stock for something that's no longer selling well).
- That pile of research data you've been collecting over the course of many years needs to be analyzed for publication, lest the dictum "publish or perish" become the epitaph for your career.You want to boil down large amounts of raw data to generate summary information, and to pull out selected subsets of observations for more detailed statistical analysis.
- You're a popular speaker who travels the country to many types of assemblies, such as graduations, business meetings, civic organizations, and political conventions.You give so many addresses that it's difficult to remember what you've spoken on at each place you've been, so you'd like to maintain records of your past talks and use them to help you plan future engagements. If you return to a place at which you've spoken before, you don't want to give a talk similar to one you've already delivered there, and a record of each place you've been would help you avoid repeats.You'd also like to note how wen your talks are received. (Your address "Why I Love Cats" to the Metropolitan Kennel Club was something of a dud, and you don't want to make that mistake again the next time you're there.)
- You're a teacher who needs to keep track of grades and attendance. Each time you give a quiz or a test, you record every student's grade. It's easy enough to write down scores in a gradebook, but using the scores later is a tedious chore. You'd rather avoid sorting the scores for each test to determine the grading curve, and you'd really rather not add up each student's scores when you determine final grades at the end of the grading period. Counting each student's absences is no fun, either.
- The organization for which you are the secretary maintains a directory of members. (The organization could be anything-a professional society, a club, a repertory company, a symphony orchestra, or an athletic booster club.) You generate the directory in printed form each year for members, based on a word processor document that you edit as membership information changes.
You're tired of maintaining the directory that way because it limits what you can do with it. It's difficult to sort the entries in different ways, and you can't easily select just certain parts of each entry (such as a list consisting only of names and phone numbers). Nor can you easily find a subset of members, such as those who need to renew their memberships soon-if you could, it would eliminate the job of looking through the entries each month to find those members who need to be sent renewal notices.
Also, you'd really like to avoid doing all the directory editing yourself, but the society doesn't have much of a budget, and hiring someone is out of the question.You've heard about the "paperless office" that's supposed to result from electronic record-keeping, but you haven't seen any benefit from it. The membership records are electronic, but, ironically, aren't in a form that can be used easily for anything except generating paper by printing the directory!
These scenarios range from situations involving large amounts to relatively small amounts of information. They share the common characteristic of involving tasks that can be performed manually but that could be performed more efficiently by a database system.
What specific benefits should you expect to see from using a database system such as MySQL? It depends on your particular needs and requirements-and as seen in the...

I bought this based on the recommendations here and elsewhere. I have to give Mysql 5 stars because it's a really excellent book. However I really like to hear about potential downsides in otherwise great deals (nothing's perfect), so here's the problems I had: The way they did examples may be by design in order to force the reader (especially a newbie like me) to experiment, but I thought the examples were thin. There do not seem to be many hints on how to handle real-world problems. I usually have to experiment a lot to figure out how something works. I also cannot seem to adjust to either the contents or the index as written, and I have trouble finding references to particular topics. One suggestion is to get some adhesive tab labels and attach them the pertinent pages marking the sections you find helpful. Write your own keyword descriptions on the labels so you don't waste time looking through the whole book for that one topic you remember seeing last week :)
As a newcomer to Mysql, the task of setting up and administrating a database seemed overwhelming. This book has detailed every step along the way, from installing and starting the Mysql server on different platforms (I use linux and Windows), to managing security, to designing web-based interfaces. It does not cover preliminary design considerations such as determining who is going to use the database and for what purposes, or, how one creates tables in third normal form. Other books can be used to cover these more general topics. It does give step by step instructions using two sets of examples throughout the book. It is easy to follow without being tedious. If you are trying to choose between this book and 'Mysql and msql', choose this one. I have both and this does a much better job in explaining the specifics of Mysql.
From table creation to API usage this book gave me the perfect informations needed to get to speed with MySQL. Everything you need is in this book and very well organized. Bravo !
MySQL is clear and easy to read ¿ it is intended to * teach * you MySQL, and it does just that. If you¿re looking for a great book about MySQL, this is it.
On a scale of 10, this book gets a 10 from me. Everything I needed to do a new MYSQL project was in this book. Like my old Perl4 book - Perl in 21 Days - this one has it all. It is extremely well written and organized. If you are a part-time Perl-DB programmer (or dabble infrequently at it), this book can get you through the job w/o alot of problems. Lastly, I used DBI::mysql to interface, and this book covered the topic very well.
Paul Dubois is one of those rare authors who truely cares about the work. MySQL is written in a clear consise and humorous manner. I paid $50.00 for this book and would gladly pay double that. I will buy his next book sight unseen for $100.00
I've read quite a few books on MySQL, this one definitely tops them in just about every way. Covering the API's thoroughly, and just being an all around excellent book

A rainy day at my local Walmart.
Giant Christmas tree greets me at the front door. (Too bad no shopping carts did).
I thought I knew right where to find the Elmer's/X-ACTO products, but I think they moved them. I found with the other adhesives.
Here are glue stick and glitter glue.
Better picture (not so good with the phone camera, yet.)
Here is the pack of posterboard I bought for my tree project.
located with the loose posterboard.
Here is most of the line I could find at our Walmart. Not every product was available.
And a better shot! I bought the dot runner. Should have bought a refill for the dot runner. And the scrapbook double-sided tape, which I love!
Sorry about the bad picture, but this is the "craft" aisle, where I found most of the Elmer's products.
I think I got the last pair of the X-ACTO Precision scissors. They have nice sharp tips.
I knew I needed to add a little sparkle to my project and thought these sparkle glue tubes might do the trick!
And now you can see what they actually look like. Sparkle Glue in gold, silver, and white glitter.
I can always use more glue sticks! Grabbed a couple packs.
I love that Walmart carries Wilton products. I needed lots of cupcake liners.
I didn't end up using these little silver ones, but figured out how to make some little ornaments with them if I want to add them to the tree later.
Found a cart--hallelujah! Here's all my project supplies, but needed some other stuff while at Walmart.
Creating a S'mores bar for a birthday party. Thought these stacks of graham crackers would be convenient.
I found all kinds of varieties of marshmallows.
marshmallow row.
And here is the finished project! Go to http://meandmyinsanity.com/2011/12/cupcake-liner-christmas-tree-elmers-holiday-gluenglitter.html for the full tutorial!

An overview of wind energy-status 2002
The paper provides an overview of the historical development of wind energy technology and discusses the current world-wide status of grid-connected as well as stand-alone wind power generation. During the last decade of the twentieth century, grid-connected world-wide wind capacity has doubled approximately every three years. Due to the fast market development, wind turbine technology has experienced an important evolution over time. An overview of the different design approaches is given and issues like power grid integration, economics, environmental impact and special system applications, such as offshore wind energy, are discussed. Due to the complexity of the wind energy technology, however, this paper mainly aims at presenting a brief overview of the relevant wind turbine and wind project issues. Therefore, detailed information to further readings and related organisations is provided. This paper is an updated version of the article 'Wind Energy Technology and Current Status: A Review', published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 4/2000, pp. 315-374. This update was requested by Elsevier due to the large interest in wind power.

Hi Konstantin
First of all, thank to design a wonderful theme that I loved to choose out of many. When I installed it, and made header and couple of pages, I still not see the first page look
as I it shown in preview. Am I doing something wrong?
How can I get the same look one big picture than description and four widgets like picture and their description underneath.

4 thoughts on "Wedding wording help"
The brides father died at age 3…the man walking her down the aisle is as close to a father she has had in the last 5 years…how do I word that Michael Tucker is walking her down the aisle and who he is
Hi Tish,
This is a great question. With regards to wording the invitation, you could say something similar to:
and Michael Tucker
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage
of daughter
Use your Wedding Program to be more specific as to their relationship. Most close to your family and friends will likely know but it will help clarify to those who don't.
Uncle of the bride, Best friend of the bride's father, etc.
Best Wishes! Let me know if I can help further!
My sister, Sidnei Pate, passed away 12 years ago. What should I put on the wedding program to honor her?

Well, folks, here they are again. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is trying to list the Arkansas River shiner as an endangered species, which would have profound implications for those who own property adjacent to the Canadian River and those who use the river for recreation.
For those of us who use off-road equipment such as dirt bikes at the river, this action would mean the elimination of such activity. The government could put a stop to fishing and hunting activities at the river also.
Landowners along the river might think that getting rid of the off-road folks might not be such a bad idea. However, after reading the proposed rules, I think we off-roaders have much less to worry about than the landowners. New rules could regulate groundwater pumping and runoff. If you have some land with cattle on it and the runoff during a rainstorm makes it to the river, you could have a big problem.
We all must do something to put a stop to this. Tune in to KGNC AM's (1710) Open Line program at 10:06 a.m. this morning - a representative from U.S. Fish and Wildlife is a scheduled guest.
Also, there is going to be a public meeting Monday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Texas A&M Research Extension Center, 6500 Amarillo Blvd. West. (Is it just coincidence that most of us who have a stake in decisions about the Canadian River will most likely be on the job?) Well, I'm taking a few hours off work because this is important to my kids and me.
Send written comments to: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; Oklahoma Ecological Service Office; 222 S. Houston, Suite A; Tulsa, Okla. 74127-8909. Get off your butts, folks - this could be our last stand!
Headline inaccurate
Should a headline accurately summarize a story?
"Halliburton donations increased to GOP under Cheney" was the headline for an Associated Press story in the July 31 edition of the Amarillo Daily News. The first paragraph also stated that under Dick Cheney, the firm grew into "a more generous contributor to Republicans in state office that held sway over the company."
The problem with the headline and first paragraph is facts given later in the article. Between the 1994 and 2000 election cycles, Halliburton's political contributions to both parties actually decreased, according to the third paragraph. Contributions to Democrats decreased 91 percent, and Republicans received 23 percent less money from the company.
The article fails to point out that all statewide offices are now held by Republicans. It only makes sense that if the company wishes to have political influence (the reason all companies and individuals give political contributions), its contributions should go to those in power.
I am sure my technical writing professor would have taken off points for a headline backed up by such contradictory facts. A better headline may have been "Cheney focused on Halliburton profits, political contributions decreased."
The actual headline used was neither accurate based upon the facts given, nor was it positive for Mr. Cheney or the Republicans. Was the headline designed to help the Democratic Party by misleading the readers of this newspaper?
A pesty cartoon
I feel you should compare your cash flow for advertisements from the "Gay and Lesbian Fund" vs. that from the Amarillo community that supports the integrity and desirable moral attributes the Boy Scouts of America present to our youth.
I am sure the difference would lead you to an "opinion" not to publish a cartoon like the one on page 8A of the July 19 Daily News, in which Scouts ask an elderly woman her sexual orientation before helping her across the street. Bashing an organization that has as its main goal the improvement of our youth and community is a very undesirable activity in which you paper should not indulge.
I compare the moral decay of our nation to termites eating away at a beautiful structure - you never know they are there until a catastrophic failure occurs because the supporting foundation has been eaten away.
A sign of the time?
In his July 31 letter, Julian E. Griego claims that he has lived in Amarillo since 1955 and recalls signs in Amarillo businesses that read "No Niggers, Dogs or Mexican Greasers Allowed."
I have lived in and around Amarillo since 1943, and all over Texas since 1919, and have never once seen such a sign. Some claim that Canyon once had a sign that read "No Colored After Sunset."
Has anyone a picture of such signs, and if so, what town was involved? Are these claims indisputable facts or anti-white propaganda? Some allegations are ludicrous, such as Jesse Jackson trying to make a front-yard suicide into a lynching.
It is true that most Texas eating places did not serve Mexican-Americans or colored people. Movies like "Giant" brought that out vividly. During the 1930s, I often went to a well-known Mexican restaurant in Dallas, and apparently it was whites only. Around 1932, a Negro congressman from Chicago driving through Texas was shocked to find that most white service stations would not serve him.
Segregation had its limits and exceptions. Little Rock street cars were segregated, but the curved seats at the rear of the cars were not. If the cars were crowded and there was space only on a curved seat, we would ask black occupants if we could sit beside them. If white girls or boys were sitting there, any black would ask if he or she could sit there, and of course it was an unwritten right. Colored maids with white children sat where they wished on a street car.
As I recall, black and white people were much more friendly in pre-World War II days and had much better manners. The 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision was long overdue because previous separate-but-equal Supreme Court decisions were not lived up to.
Personally, I think it is time to forget the problems of the past and worry about today's problems, such as drug use.
Pray for change
I wonder what God thinks when religious leaders vehemently protest prayers before school football games, and prayers in school, upset that students from their congregation might hear prayers of a different faith. Prayers are desperately needed in schools. Why don't these "leaders" work together to get the laws changed so prayers are allowed in schools again? Since prayers and discipline have been banned, schools have rapidly deteriorated with bullying, viciousness, filthy language and violence.
Laws were passed to restrict prayers in school. Laws can be repealed. Politicians can be replaced.
Remember the movie "Miracle on 34th Street"? Santa was declared by the post office to be Santa because of the volume of mail addressed to him. If tons of mail flooded into the nation's capital demanding that schools be separated from church and government bickering, maybe the politicians would realize that citizens are sick at heart watching these laws rip prayers from students' lives. Or just cut out this letter and say that you agree, sign your name, and send it on to your senator or representative.
Our religious leaders should have already been urging their congregations to insist that these laws be changed instead of opposing prayers before football games. At least it's a prayer. Why not take turns with different faiths?
Doesn't it seem strange that the same congressmen who fuss about prayers being allowed in school start each day with a prayer, just as priests and ministers do?
Isn't it also hypocritical that priests protest when Catholic students must hear Protestant prayers, yet people of all faiths attend Catholic funeral services, where communion is served?
I know God joins us in praying that it's not too late.

New Super Mario Bros. U being given away on Black Friday by Old Navy
New Super Mario Bros. U will be handed out to Old Navy customers on Black Friday, November 23.
The catch, is that customers have to spend at least $40 at the store before the game is added to their bag at checkout.
The promotion will only be available to a limited number of customers who will be graced with wristband on a first-come-first-serve basis as they come through the door.
The wristband can then be traded for the game, should the customer spend the aforementioned $40 on purchases.
Old Navy will also be giving away 1000 Wii U Basic Sets at select stores on November 23.
Thanks, Nintendo World Report.

I have a written an event driven server (request response protocol - HTTP like) using non blocking sockets. I tested partial reads by writing a client that sends the request in discrete chunks after every few seconds. How do I test partial writes i.e. I need to write 100 bytes and then send call returns with only 10 bytes written.
I am writing perl based clients. This is over SSL but for the purposes of this question, I am ok with partial writes on TCP.

Hot answers tagged intel-core2
You can use the tool Securable from Gibson Research to find out if your hardware supports virtualization extensions. If it tells you that your hardware is supported, but not enabled, check the BIOS settings to enable it.
Start your PC, press F2, go to the security option and enable VT technology.
Replace the power supply and stress test your computer. Reseat (or replace) your heatsink and reapply thermal paste. Run +memtest on the RAM. Check all cabling; reseat the SATA/IDE cables to your hard drives. Clean out the dust as best you can. -- 49 isn't that high of a temp. What heatsink are you using?
No. Pentium D is basically two P4 Netbursts on the same silicon. Core 2 Duos are newer, faster, and more efficient.
The only technical requirement to be able to install a 64bit version of an OS is that the CPU supports 64bit extentions. Most CPU's by AMD and Intel in the last couple years have included the 64bit extentions (AMD64/EM64T) Your motherboard would most likely not prevent you from installing a 64bit OS, but you may not be able to go beyond 4gb of RAM ...
Your processor does support VT-X, you'll just need to enable it in the BIOS settings. Reboot your computer and press the specified key on the boot screen to go into the BIOS Setup and enable it.
Until your load temps get close to Tj. Max (Temperature Junction Max -- the maximum temperature Intel rates the processor for, beyond which it will throttle itself to cool down) there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Since you're about 42 degrees away, even under load, I think you're quite safe...
This may not be obvious. Its sometimes called vanderpool technology in the bios without mentioning virtualisation.
You might also consider the hidden cost of power usage: at load (if you plan to do folding or something else that loads the cores 100%) at idle (if it's a typical desktop / server, it is idle the vast majority of the time)
My work laptop has a Core 2 Duo and regularly gets up to 55C when working hard, I wouldn't consider it massively hot. There's a temperature guide for Core 2 Processors here. It does look rather confused, but hopefully it will make sense.
Does anyone know why this is happening Its called SpeedStep how to fix it? There's nothing to "fix" per-se, as and when the load increases, the frequency will bump up. Also, Under Microsoft Windows XP, SpeedStep support is built into the power management console under the control panel. In Windows XP a user can regulate the processor's ...
Even though they share the same socket- Socket 775- and may run on the same motherboards, they are not the same. The Pentium D uses 2 Netburst architecture CPU cores on separate dies (two chips, one package), each with a small cache, sharing a single "quad pumped" Front Side Bus of 533 or 800 MT/s throughput (4 x 100MHz x 2=Double Data Rate) for desktop ...
If they have the same socket type (i.e. Socket 775) then a Core 2 Quad should work in place of a Core 2 Duo. At worst it may be a bios upgrade is necessary but other than that it should just work.
According Intel's processor/motherboard compatibility tool that motherboard is not compatible with that CPU ("This combination is not compatible."). You're lucky it's running at all. :) My guess would be that that motherboard just doesn't support a 333MHz bus speed with an 8.5 multiplier, which is what would get you that 2.8GHz. Instead (as you've seen)...
Core2 is the name is the name for a microarchitecture. It encompasses a whole CPU family There are single core CPU's based on the core2 architecture. There are dual core core2 CPU's based on the core2 architecture. (Often called core2 duo) There are quad core core2 CPU's based on the core2 architecture. (Often called core2 quad). Thus calling a core 2 ...
SPEC is always a good reference for this kind of thing. Here are their data for those two CPUs. SPEC's result numbers are a ratio of the performance of the system to that of a Sun Ultra Enterprise 2. Roughly, the computer tested is "result" times faster than a UE2. Since all computers are referenced from that one benchmark, you can divide the results ...
It is highly possible that your BIOS has not been updated to the latest version yet - thus the missing support for VT on your E8400. The latest version of your BIOS (v1005) can be found here (you will to navigate to the Supported CPUs page). Please update your BIOS and see if VT turns on for you.
Removed my previous answer because it is just the same as other answers. Added another requirement. One of the most critical requirement for running a 64-bit OS is not just hardware, but the user too : User swears never to install anyhow drivers which might be 32-bit on a 64-bit OS. User must understand that just because 64-bit is two times of 32-bit, ...
Could you check which version of the Windows XP hardware abstraction layer your system is using? To do this, run devmgmt.msc, look at what item is displayed as the child of "Computer" in the tree, and add this info to your question: "ACPI Multiprocessor PC", "ACPI Uniprocessor PC", "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", "Standard PC", etc. ...
As a side note: some laptops require you to shut down and power off the laptop after enabling VT-x in the BIOS, and removing the power cable and battery for 30 seconds. I just today had such a laptop, and found this solution here.
I would take a look at all the linked articles here. That's quite a recent review of some of the higher end chips.
If my old desktop PC has a pentium D CPU in it now, can I be pretty certain a core 2 duo E7500 will work in it?
I wouldn't count on it. I had an older machine with a Pentium 4. I was building a new machine and got a Pentium Dual Core (not even a core 2 duo), and I tried it out in the old machine. It didn't POST.
If my old desktop PC has a pentium D CPU in it now, can I be pretty certain a core 2 duo E7500 will work in it?
I am not saying no, but I wouldn't bet on it. The CPU limitation is mainly down to the chipset and not the actual socket it fits in to. Your best bet is to use a tool such as CPU-Z which should be able to give you your motherboard details, then you can confirm on their website what your board supports. Also, You may need to do a BIOS update to support it, ...
If my old desktop PC has a pentium D CPU in it now, can I be pretty certain a core 2 duo E7500 will work in it?
No, you can't be certain without the model. First generation Socket 775 Pentium 4,D, and XE motherboards may be incompatible due to different power requirements. Some motherboards may list compatibility with Pentium Dual Core as well as Core 2 Duo, and some may only list Core 2 Duo compatibility or vice-versa. Check with CPU-Z as already mentioned to be sure ...
Have you considered setting up something like Folding@Home This will use all your CPU, and by default it will be at the lowest priority meaning that almost anything else you run will get preference. Plus you can feel good about your contribution to humanity.
Give cpulimit a try. For example cpulimit -e cpuburn -l 20 would limit a process called cpuburn to maximum of 20% CPU. Use cpulimit with some CPU hungry software such as SETI@Home or cpuburn and you should have a winning combo.
Which is faster, a new MacBook Air with a 1.8 GHz i7 processor, or a prior-generation MacBook Air with 2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo?
You haven't specified price in this equation, which allows for a simplified answer that does not depend on any personal preferences: The new one is faster. Why? The i7 definitely beats the Core 2 Duo (even if the speed seems higher, the i7 delivers much more performance than a C2D) 1333 MHz RAM beats 1067 MHz RAM. You can look at some benchmarks that ...
A little searching yielded this nice article from anandtech: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2056/4 This is just a snippet of the article comparing the two chips you ask about, there's lots more information in it. The page i link gives a side by side comparison of the processors specs. Hope it helps.
Although either is possible, both seem unlikely. In my personal experience (decades doing repair work) a PS rarely fails without giving some kind of advance indication. To rule it out, see if you can borrow one from a friend. Most PS are fairly standardized, and unless you go for something elaborate, not too expensive. Before you get into changing parts, ...
Cleaning is definitely possible, I would take strict anti static procedures to ensure not damaging the CPU however. A clean soft sponge and a tiny bit of alcohol should be all you need, don't scrub hard or you could damage the sensitive contacts. I would contact the seller before performing this to see if they will replace it first or if they will replace if ...

Star Radio (Cambridge and Ely)
|Broadcast area
|Cambridge and Ely
|107.1 MHz and 107.9 MHz
|First air date
|23 March 1998
|UKRD Group
Star Radio is an Independent Local Radio station broadcasting on 107.9 MHz in Cambridge and 107.1 MHz in Ely. It was originally launched as "Cambridge Café Radio". Later in 1998 it was relaunched as "Cambridge Red" and six months later as 107.9 The Eagle.
In 1999, the UKRD Group purchased the station. The following year it renamed Red as "107.9 The Eagle", in line with the other stations they owned. In 2001, UKRD rebranded the station again to Star 107.9, in line with the rebranding of their other stations.
Station Merger[edit]
In 2003, Star 107.1/5 in Ely and The Fens split frequencies. 107.5 in The Fens became Fen Radio 107.5, and 107.1 in Ely became a relay of Star 107.9. Because of this, the station adjusted their name to 107 Star FM. The name was adjusted again in 2004 to Star 107. Star 107 was rebranded in August 2005 as "Star Radio" co-inciding with the rebrand of the other "Star" network stations in the UKRD Group.

Front desk,housekeeping, maintenance,wait staff work together to provide their guest with the optimum service. I point this out because when traveling receiving care and concern from hotel staff is required. This aspect of taking up residence in a hotel is my top priority at any level of class hotel. The Sheraton Reston hotel not only meets but exceeds this expectation.
The wait staff is totally friendly and accomodating. We only ate breakfast in the hotel and I can say it was always hot and freshly cooked.
Our room, #320, faced the back of the hotel and was quiet. We were in the "U" shaped building which was never far from the restaurants. The room was bit musty and slightly worn. The category,starwood preferred, king bed with a separate living rm space. Fresh and clean everyday. The room appeared to wheelchair accessible, wide doorways and the bathroom had many grab bars. Now, this is strange my Husband approached the tub with the intention of taking a shower but could not find a device to operate the hand held shower. The spout had a button which he depressed and then the water flowed out of the shower. This was problematic because we were meeting our son and this "HOW TO TAKE A SHOWER" made us late. The issues were minor, mostly annoying, and were repaired quickly. The location is a mile from the Reston Town Center which is close to our son's home; therefore, an excellent location.
My husband said he would return and would like the rooms facing the pool which are in the same wing as our room.

I have a friend running an old theme that is built before custom post types were around so instead of using an event plugin that uses a custom post type they used the schedule posts of a specific category and a custom query to show those posts on the at the date of the scheduled post.
The issue he's having is that the subscribe email is sending when the post "publishes" on the day of the event... they would rather have it send for that category when the post is scheduled instead. I was poking around in the publish function of class-s2-core.php but if someone knows a better place I should look any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I stayed here from Oct 29-Dec 7 so about 5 weeks as I was taking a French course. I would highly recommend this B & B for many reasons. Dominique is super friendly, caring and wants to make sure her guests are doing well and enjoying their stay. Any problems, she is always available. She also speaks very good English.
Since I was staying for 5 weeks, I didnt eat breakfast everyday but the few times I did, I was left speechless. Presentation was outstanding, creative and delicious. One morning she made these posh pancakes with some kind of orange sauce with little oranges on top. Wow! I went away full and feeling healthy.
I stayed in the solo room which is small yet comfortable and cute. The bed was very comfortable, feather duvet and pillows and the best thing is that there is an individual heating system in the room so I could turn it on and off as I want. Imagine sitting in a chair having a nice green tea and feeling all warm and having no worries about the outside winter breeze? It was wonderful!
The washroom/shower was adorable and is just outside the solo room and always has hot water, towels if you need them, plenty of toilet paper and shelves to put all my toiletries. She also has shampoo and soap in the shower if you need it. I thought it was really nicely designed. The 2 larger rooms have the washrooms inside. Each room has their own private washroom/shower.
There is a little kitchen with a fridge to use, mini-oven, microwave and a one stove burner, kettle etc.. Cereal and tea if you want. You can sit back on the sofa watching TV. Maybe you dont want to practice your French. No worries! There are English channels as well.
The location is super- quiet yet walking distance to bakeries, stores, restaurants, laundromats, McDonalds, French cinema, and the metro is just down the road. On St. Laurent street, try the La Maison Thai for some delicious Chicken Pad Thai, or Pizza Madonna for some pizza. What more can you ask for?
Montreal is a fabulous city in my opinion, very safe and people are very friendly. If you dont speak French you will be completely fine.
Why wait? Why research anymore? Dont miss out on a wonderful stay!

Here's one of the greatest dilemmas in real estate for those who own a home, and want to sell it and buy a new one: do you sell the home you're living in first, and then go looking for your new home, or do you seek out the new place first and then sell your current abode?

The ONLY thing you can do that I can think of is "being passive aggressive" to the point it doesn't appear that you are being passive aggressive.
Just watch the nightly news with her, start volunteering for various organizations where there are victims.
NOW I must admit I'm not hitched, but until she realizes that her family is vulnerable she won't see the need. And by trying to overt by bring up reasons why it's a good idea to have protection on you is only going backfire because see will see an arguement coming and she will argue back. There has never been a man that can win an arguement with a woman, especially if he is right.
Like I said I'm not hitched, but I have had plenty of discussions with women. This is just my plug nickle and you can take a whole salt mine with this rambling, I'm just saying it might work.

With flat revenue, rising costs and no more state aid on the horizon, the Panhandle's largest school district on Tuesday agreed to ask voters to approve a $1.17 per $100 of taxable property value later this fall. The cost to the owner of a home with a taxable value of $100,000 would be $1,170.
Tax-rate election
Understanding the Sept. 23 tax-rate election for Amarillo Independent School District:
Tax rates comprise a rate for maintenance and operations and a rate for paying off debt.
Trustees will ask voters to keep the property tax rate at $1.17 per $100 of taxable property value.
The election will center on increasing the portion of the tax rate that goes toward operations from $1.04 per $100 to $1.08 per $100.
A 4-cent drop in the district's debt rate, from 13 cents to 9 cents, will offset an increase in the rate for operations.
That means an increase in the rate for operations will not increase the overall property tax rate.
Key points
School districts' primary sources of revenue are local property taxes and state aid.
Districts do not receive the benefit of higher property values. State aid declines by the same amount as the increase in local property-tax revenue.
Amarillo ISD's per-student revenue is frozen at $4,624, but 74 percent of Texas school districts receive more revenue per student than AISD.
Amarillo ISD's per-student revenue is the lowest of any district in Potter or Randall counties.
Amarillo ISD's costs continue to rise, 47 percent over the past five years for utilities and 153 percent over the same time period for fuel.
Without voter approval for the tax rate, district officials project AISD would accumulate a deficit of $74 million over the next five years.
If voters go against the request, the property tax rate will drop to $1.13 per $100 of taxable property value.
In a 5-2 vote, trustees for the Amarillo Independent School District voted Tuesday to call for the Sept. 23 election to keep the tax rate at $1.17 per $100 of taxable property value.
An election is needed because state law requires voter approval when trustees set the portion of the property-tax rate used for operations above $1.04 per $100 of taxable property value. Trustees adopted a rate of $1.08 per $100. The overall tax rate will remain the same because the portion of the district's tax rate that goes toward debt will drop.
Amarillo ISD's ability to provide a quality education to more than 30,000 students will diminish without additional funding, school board president Linda Pitner said.
"This is a new question for our community," Pitner said. "We have to look into the entire future of this district.
"Basically, we have to keep this district solvent. There is no other revenue source but taxes. There is no other place to look than to the taxpayers."
With the same revenue and rising costs, the district faces escalating deficits without help from voters, said school officials. The district does not benefit from higher property appraisals and the state has frozen per-student spending at a lower rate than the state average and than nearby school districts, officials said.
Projections show the district would face a $2.5 million deficit this year, an $8 million deficit next year and a cumulative deficit of $74 million over the next five years, officials said.
"Where do you make that up?" Superintendent Rod Schroder said. "You can't make that up. The only way is going to taxpayers."
Trustees who voted for the election said they are concerned about growing deficits, providing cost-of-living raises for employees and paying for inflationary costs, such as for fuel, energy and insurance, amid flat revenues.
Trustee Anette Carlisle said large deficits would result in larger class sizes at the secondary level and the elimination of some extra-curricular and co-curricular programs.
"That's the only place we can cut," Carlisle said.
Trustee Jack Thompson and school board Vice President Pete Smith, whose is resigning from the board, voted against calling the election because of the timing, but they agreed with the board's sentiments.
"I think we should wait for the Legislature to act," Smith said.

Historical Fiction
In Steven Saylor's debut hard-boiled historical mystery, Roman Blood, Gordianus the Finder is an intrepid soul, living in a seedy section of long-ago Rome. All roads lead here and all the up-and-coming politicians--along with displaced, often enslaved people from war-torn lands--make for a sea of trouble in an atmosphere that is by turns torrid, glittering, and dangerous.
It is fascinating to trace the domino effect caused by something so seemingly small and insignificant as a bolt of cloth. In Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague, by Geraldine Brooks, this bolt spreads misery in the form of the bubonic plague from London to a small, remote English village in 1666. Anna Frith, a young widow who has already seen her share of misfortune, is spared the fatal boils while all around her, family, friends, and neighbors succumb to the terrible disease.

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry: "A love story, an adventure, and an epic of the frontier: Set in the late nineteenth century, Lonesome Dove is the story of a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. Augustus McCrae and W. F. Call are former Texas rangers--partners and friends--who have shared hardship and danger without ever quite understanding each other. Gus is the romantic, a reluctant rancher who has a way with women. Call is driven and demanding, a natural authority figure with no patience for weakness. The two could hardly be more different, but both are tough, redoubtable fighters who have learned to count on each other, if nothing else."

In When the Emperor Was Divine, Julie Otsuka uses a sparse, lyrical writing style to illuminate the psychological effects of one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history. The novel opens with a portrait of an ordinary woman going about her daily chores in Berkeley, California. While en route to her local library, she sees something troubling: Evacuation Order No. 19. After reading the notice, she abandons her errands and begins preparing for life in an unfamiliar locale.
At first, the sequence of events feels dystopian or apocalyptic – the world is ending and a family is forced to prepare to face the unknown. But this narrative is a dramatization of history, not a speculative tale of the future. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. government began to suspect that American citizens of Japanese ancestry might harbor allegiance to Japan. In 1942, these paranoid fantasies lead to the forcible internment of Japanese-Americans announced in Evacuation Order No. 19.

A good all-around student, Serena devours novels and wants to do an English degree in a small university, but her housewife mother, in an uncharacteristic fit of feminism, tells her she has a chance of making something of herself by going to Cambridge and doing "maths."

The year is 1912, and the Torrington family is caught on the cusp between a graceful if dying and class-conscious era and the fast-paced, more egalitarian and sometimes brutishness of the coming modern world. And for all that it is Emerald Torrington's birthday on her family's grand English estate, she was finding it terribly soothing that morning to pull uselessly at weeds and try to not cry, grown-up and beautiful young woman as she was. There would be a party in the evening—chocolate cake with green spun-sugar roses in her honor—and it would be the carefully-planned, best effort her lovely mother and their devoted housekeeper could put together, for all that her world—and everyone's—seems to be ending. And then The Uninvited Guests show up.

U.S. Fails to Sway Palestinians on U.N. Move
WASHINGTON—Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has rejected the latest U.S. overture aimed at ending his campaign for United Nations Security Council recognition of Palestinian statehood next week, enhancing the likelihood of an Obama administration veto.
For a second straight week, the White House dispatched a two-man diplomatic team to the West Bank in an effort to woo Mr. Abbas back into direct peace negotiations with Israel as an alternative to his U.N. campaign, which Washington says will interfere with the peace process.
The two U.S. officials, White House adviser Dennis Ross and special Middle East envoy David Hale, have tried to work with the international community to sweeten the terms of the prospective peace process for the Palestinians in order to gain Mr. Abbas's consent, according to officials involved in the diplomacy.
One avenue the Americans have pursued is to try to set a one-year time-line to guide a resumption of peace talks, said these officials. Another has been to press Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept specific terms for the talks; in particular, a willingness to use Israel's borders prior to the 1967 Six-Day War as a baseline for negotiations, with the recognition that there would be additional territorial swaps.
Mr. Abbas said on Friday that the U.S. efforts weren't enough. "We are going to the United Nations to request our legitimate right, obtaining full membership for Palestine in this organization,'' Mr. Abbas said in a televised speech from Ramallah. "We are going to the Security Council."
U.S. and European officials said Mr. Abbas's comments wouldn't end their diplomatic efforts. Many expected a frantic weekend of negotiations in the Middle East and New York, where world leaders will begin to gather for the annual U.N. General Assembly meeting.
U.S. officials said they would continue to try to draft a statement on the terms of the peace process in consultations with the so-called Quartet of powers seeking Mideast peace, which includes the U.N., European Union, Russia and U.S.
U.S. officials hope a strong Quartet statement could bind the Israelis and Palestinians into a new round of talks that would start "within weeks" of the General Assembly. The Quartet's members are scheduled to meet Sunday in New York.
"There's going to have to be a process to get these parties back to the table when we get beyond next week," Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said on Friday.
EU foreign-policy chief Catherine Ashton also has held extensive talks with Mr. Abbas to find an alternative route, according to European officials. Ms. Ashton has pressed the Palestinian leader to return to direct talks, but has also said the Europeans may support a non-binding resolution on Palestinian statehood in the U.N. General Assembly if its terms leave open the possibility for a resumption of the peace process.
A senior European official said Ms. Ashton has told Mr. Abbas that he should back the Quartet's statement with the understanding that the EU would back him at the General Assembly if the direct talks with the Israelis then stall.
U.N. officials said Mr. Abbas could move as early as Monday to submit a statehood proposal to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who would then pass it on to the Security Council.
U.S. officials have repeatedly stated that they will veto such a measure, though the timing for such a vote remains uncertain. Security Council procedures could delay a vote well into October, according to U.N. officials, and deny Mr. Abbas much of the publicity he was seeking for Palestinian statehood. Mr. Abbas is scheduled to address the General Assembly on Friday.
American and European officials privately worry that a U.S. veto could fuel anti-American sentiment across the Middle East and undercut a recent surge of pro-democracy movements in the region.
President Barack Obama will speak at the U.N. on Wednesday and is attending an event highlighting the international effort to topple Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
U.S. lawmakers have threatened to cut financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority if it goes forward with the vote, denying the body as much as $500 million annually. They have also threatened to close the offices of the Palestinian Liberation Organization in Washington.
Palestinian officials have also said they could seek a vote in the U.N. General Assembly if its Security Council bid fails. The 192-member Assembly could agree to grant Palestine the status of a nonmember observer state. Only the Vatican now has that status. The timing of that vote also is uncertain.

Insulation failure in medium voltage (10-20 kV) and electric traction lines (3 kV DC) is mainly due to indirect and direct lightning strokes to the lines. The overvoltages stressing the insulation have an impulse shape with a very short tail, much shorter than the standard 1.2/50 μs wave. The paper presents the results of experimental tests performed with a 1.2/4 μs wave, on air gaps and insulators in use in the lines under consideration. The flashover probability distributions and the voltage-time to breakdown characteristics under 1.2/4 μs waves determined are presented and compared with the 1.2/50 μs

You're too fast for me, Syl, as you'll see when you look at your page! I was still trying to map this when you wrote!
I think that we were writing exactly at the same moment Marilyn Thanks to share, Cheers Syl
Very interesting sculpture! This is what my feet feel like sometimes after hiking all day. Nice shot.
Ryan, perhaps that's why some of us resonate so with this set of sculptures! We know the feeling ...
I agree with Ryan, though nowadays, it doesn't take as much hiking as it used to. Great shot, Marilyn.
Very interesting photo! Montreal is my second house! I love everything of this city...
Thank you, samfra05. I love Montreal, too. First one of our sons studied there, then the other, and we enjoyed visiting them. I was sad when they left and there was no more reason to go!
Very original! Love it!
Best wishes, Sergey

Why has the volume of SNTA of late been huge. Could it be that the word is getting out to those that have deep pockets. All of those conferences that SNTA has attented, I would say are starting to get us noticed. ALL IN MY OPINION ONLY Always do as you feel, not what you hear
Could be short covering, positive technicals when mostly other stocks were down, potential game changing catalyst in july, etc. I thought about selling a coveted call to lower my cost basis but and hope iv will plunge to buy it back cheaper but probably giving up too much upside. I keep waiting for a correction and when it has come I hesitated to buy. I May just open a position and just add overtime and not fret over not getting at the bottom.
Nice Buy it looks like just at the close at 6.4116:00:12 6.42 100 NGS16:00:07 6.42 100 NGS16:00:00 6.41 15850 NGS15:59:59 6.41 270 NGS15:59:59 6.41 130 NGS15:59:59 6.40 127 NGS15:59:59 6.40 173 NGS15:59:58 6.41 100 NGS15:59:58 6.41 108 NGS15:59:58 6.405 100 NGSAlways do as you feel, not what you hear.
