rolling storage bins.
By maggieTX
from Texas
Ordered 4 of these lids were broken on 2 I didn't want to return & pay shipping charges so I fixed them with some plastic bond stuff. Lids will close okay but not very sturdy like they should be. Good for storage of all types of things if the lids are air tight like they should be.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a Continuation application of Ser. No. 10/136,321 filed May 2, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,809,606.
The present invention relates generally to microprocessor circuits, and more specifically to internal clocks in microprocessor.
Electronic devices, such as microprocessors, are steadily operating at faster and faster speeds. As microprocessors run at higher and higher speeds, the power delivered to the microprocessors by a power supply starts to become an issue. Voltage drops (or droops) may occur as power is delivered from a power source to individual components and devices on the die of a microprocessor. For example, devices on a die may receive only 1.0 volt from a power source that is supplying 1.2 volts due to a voltage droop. Decoupling capacitors may be used on a die to help reduce voltage droop. However, decoupling capacitors cost area on the die and also cost power due to gate oxide leakage.
Power source voltage droops affect the speed at which an electronic device (e.g., microprocessor or integrated circuit) may operate. During normal operation of a microprocessor (or any sequential machine), noise may be generated from instantaneous switching. Voltage supply noise modulates the delay of data paths. Voltage droops reduce the maximum frequency of operation of the microprocessor. For example, as a voltage droop magnitude increases, the operating frequency of the microprocessor decreases. Thus, a large change in processor activity may cause substantial supply voltage transients resulting in performance loss.
The foregoing and a better understanding of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of example embodiments and the claims when read in connection with the accompanying drawings, all forming a part of the disclosure of this invention. While the foregoing and following written and illustrated disclosure focuses on disclosing example arrangements and embodiments of the invention, it should be clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and that the arrangements and embodiments are not limited thereto.
The following represents brief descriptions of the drawings in which like reference numerals represent like elements and wherein:
In the following detailed description, like reference numerals and characters may be used to designate identical, corresponding or similar components in differing figure drawings. Further, in the detailed description to follow, example values may be given, although embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the same. While values may be described as HIGH or LOW, these descriptions of HIGH and LOW are intended to be relative to the discussed arrangement and/or embodiment. That is, a value may be described as HIGH in one arrangement although it may be LOW if provided in another arrangement. Arrangements and embodiments may be shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the invention, and also in view of the fact that specifics with respect to implementation of such block diagram arrangements and embodiments may be highly dependent upon the platform within which the present invention is to be implemented. That is, such specifics should be well within the purview of one skilled in the art. Where specific details (e.g., circuits) are set forth in order to describe example embodiments of the invention, it should be apparent to one skilled in the art that the invention can be practiced without, or with variation of, these specific details. It should also be apparent that differing combinations of hard-wired circuitry may be used to implement embodiments of the present invention. That is, embodiments of the present invention are not limited to any specific combination of hardware.
Embodiments of the present invention may also be described with respect to signals being input or output from different circuit components. It is understood that while the discussion identifies a signal, the signal may be transmitted over a signal line or similar type of mechanism. Further, the terminology signal may also correspond to a signal line as shown in the drawings. Well-known power/ground and address connections to components may not be shown within the figures for simplicity of illustration and discussion, and so as not to obscure the invention.
While the following discussion may be presented with respect to implementation in a microprocessor, embodiments of the present invention are not limited to that specific implementation. Implementations for generating clock signals for various digital devices such as integrated circuits, discrete logic devices, memory devices, devices either on the same or separate chips, communications devices, etc., are also within the scope of the present invention.
In order to better describe embodiments of the present invention being pursued in the present patent application, various embodiments and arrangements may initially be described. These initial embodiments may be pursued in related U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/136,390, filed simultaneously with this application.
Embodiments of the present invention may provide a circuit that includes a clock distribution network and a multiplexing device coupled to the clock distribution network to select between a synchronous mode and an asynchronous mode. A plurality of distributed ring oscillators may asynchronously drive the clock distribution network in the asynchronous mode. The distributed ring oscillators may be coupled to a power supply such that they track the critical paths. A phase lock loop circuit (located external to the core circuit) may synchronously drive the clock distribution network in the synchronous mode. In the following discussion, the terminology asynchronously driving the clock distribution network may be used with reference to the asynchronous mode. In the asynchronous mode, the clock distribution network may be driven asynchronously relative to an external clock. The clock distribution network may be synchronously driven although it is asynchronous with respect to an external clock.
Embodiments of the present invention may thereby provide power supply control on a microprocessor. This allows performance to be recovered since the performance may be dependent on the average power supply level rather than minimizing power supply droop. The core clock frequency may instantaneously track the worst-case speedpath over Vcc noise. The instantaneous performance of the processor core may vary over time in response to Vcc transient.
The clock generator 102 may generate the clock signals in response to a system clock signal 110. The clock generator 102 may include a phase lock loop (PLL) circuit. The clock signals may be coupled to the core 101 and the interface 105. The clock generator 102 may generate the bus clock signal(s) 103 and the core clock signal(s) 104.
The multiplexing device (or selecting device) 430 is coupled between the inverter circuit 420 and the inverter circuit 440. The multiplexing device 430 selects between inputs on a signal line 432 and a signal line 434. The multiplexing device 430 may receive an input signal on the signal line 434 from the inverter circuit 420. The multiplexing device 430 may receive input signals on the signal line 432 from a phase lock loop (PLL) circuit provided external to the core 101, for example. That is, the phase lock loop circuit may provide a clock signal along the signal line 432 to the multiplexing device 430.
The multiplexing device 430 may receive a select signal to select between an asynchronous mode and a synchronous mode. In the synchronous mode, the clock signal on the signal line 432 passes through the multiplexing device 430, and subsequently passes through the inverter circuits 440, 450 and 460. The resulting signal is output to the signal trace 312 (i.e., the clock distributing network). This thereby results in the clock distribution network operating based on a synchronous signal provided by the PLL located external to the core 101. On the other hand, the multiplexing device 430 may operate in the asynchronous mode based on the select signal. In the asynchronous mode, the signal on the signal line 434 (from the inverter circuit 420) passes through the multiplexing device 430 and subsequently passes through the inverter circuits 440, 450 and 460. The resulting signal is output to the signal trace 312 (i.e., the clock distribution network). The signal may also propagate back along the signal trace 322 to the inverter circuits 410 and 420 and be subsequently passed through the multiplexing device 430 since the multiplexing device 430 is still operating in the asynchronous mode. Accordingly, the select signal applied to the multiplexing device 430 may operate the clock generating circuit in either a synchronous mode or an asynchronous mode. Although not shown in
The multiplexing device 430 may be considered part of the ring oscillator. The multiplexing device 430 may be a pass-through element, which makes it logically passive for the loop. However, the multiplexing device 430 may contribute to delay (and therefore period) and Vcc sensitively of the delay of the loop.
More specifically, the first clock generating circuit includes inverter circuits 410A, 420A, 440A, 450A and 460A as well as a multiplexing device 430A. Similarly, the second clock generating circuit includes inverter circuits 410B, 420B, 440B, 450B and 460B as well as a multiplexing device 430B. The first clock generating circuit may be coupled between the signal trace 312 and the signal trace 322. The second clock generating device may be coupled between a signal trace 314 (such as one of the signal traces 310) and the signal trace 322.
As discussed above, the synchronous mode's signal may originate from a phase lock loop circuit located external from the core and be distributed within the clock distribution network. On the other hand, the asynchronous mode's signal may originate from itself. In a stopped state, all the ring oscillators may be de-asserted by an enable signal to one of the oscillator stages, which may be a NAND gate, for example. When an enable input is asserted high, then oscillation may begin. The enable signal to all the oscillators may be asserted simultaneously to start all the oscillators together.
More specifically,
In the synchronous mode, the PLL may drive the clock distribution network, and the core clock. When the asynchronous mode is selected, then the clock distribution network may be driven by the asynchronous start signal (shown as async_start), which is initially low and thus the core clock may be stopped. The async_start signal may be asserted to start the asynchronous mode oscillator. Since this signal travels down the clock distribution network, a simultaneous start may occur. This may be the same for subsequent stops/starts.
Embodiments of the present invention have been described with regard to a method and apparatus to couple a core frequency to an instantaneous power supply such that the core frequency tracks the power supply (Vcc) to maintain functionality of the core logic in the face of severe supply noise. Embodiments of the present invention may include distributed oscillators to drive a common clock distribution network. The distributed oscillators may filter out the uncorrelated noise and respond to global supply noise. Embodiments of the present invention may further provide an asynchronous core I/O interface flexible enough to allow a wide range of instantaneous frequency ratios between the core and the I/O. An I/O ring around the core may run on a phase lock loop circuit synchronizing the I/O to the external world and thereby presenting a synchronous interface to the outside. An internal core phase lock loop circuit may drive the internal core clock in a synchronous mode to facilitate testing.
Embodiments of the present invention may provide a clock distribution network driven by a regular array of identical oscillators. This uniform structure may ensure that all the oscillators toggle simultaneously to produce a clock that reaches any point on the die at a coherent frequency with minimal skew between points. Each oscillator may include a ring oscillator made out of an odd number of inversion stages. These stages may be CMOS technology so that the elements of the ring oscillator track the power supply and temperature in the same fashion as the core datapath logic. The ring oscillator length may also be adjustable. The ring oscillator may be adjusted to a length that produces a period just long enough to ensure functionality of the worst-case core speedpath under any power supply and temperature condition. As Vcc-Vss increases, the worst speedpath may need less time to evaluate, and the oscillator frequency may proportionately increase to keep track. On the other hand, as Vcc-Vss decreases, the worst speedpath may require more evaluation time and that increases in time may be provided by the slower oscillator frequency. As a result, the instantaneous oscillator frequency may track the worst speedpath, thus ensuring functionality over any (voltage, temperature) condition. Some amount of margin may counter any locally uncorrected noise in voltage and temperature.
One alternate mode may employ the PLL as a clock source. This allows testing of the microprocessor in the traditional synchronous mode, in which machine behavior is predictable on a cycle-by-cycle basis.
The preceding arrangements and embodiments have been described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/136,390, filed simultaneously with this application. The following embodiments may be pursued in this patent application, although these embodiments are also applicable and combinable with the embodiments and features described above
As discussed above, a free-running oscillator may be used to run the microprocessor core and may extract a maximum performance. However, a microprocessor having a rated frequency may be more marketable. Thus, while the instantaneous frequency may be allowed to wander while the processor tracks the power supply noise, a microprocessor may also have a rated average frequency that reflects its average performance. This may be accomplished by a voltage ID (VID) mechanism where commands may be sent to an external voltage regulator module (VRM) to increase or decrease the voltage level (Vcc) supplied to the processor (i.e., the core). The power supply may therefore be used as the control voltage. This may allow the processor to throttle the voltage (and therefore the frequency) automatically and in an efficient manner. The throttling mechanisms (e.g. thermal, performance, reliability) may be simplified to a centralized control.
Embodiments of the present invention may allow the core operating in the asynchronous mode to be frequency governed to a constant average frequency and thereby run at a constant (i.e., unthrottled) performance. This may allow speed grading of parts during manufacturing. This may also allow continuous binning in which the bin size is arbitrary. This differs from disadvantageous arrangements in which the bin size may be limited by fixed bus ratio steps as allowed by a PLL circuit. Furthermore, a spread spectrum may be imparted on the oscillator by introducing a suitable modulation. Further, the power/reliability/performance may allow longer battery life (such as for laptops) while extending performance (such as for desktop computers) by converting surplus into higher frequency/voltage.
Embodiments of the present invention may provide a frequency control circuit that includes a mechanism (such as a VID mechanism) to adjust a frequency of clock signals output from a plurality of distributed oscillators by using a supply voltage, which is the same voltage signal used to power critical components on-die. That is, the supply voltage (Vcc) is used as the voltage signal for the plurality of distributed oscillators. The frequency control circuit may control the frequency of circuit components that operate at a frequency dependent on a power supply voltage
The closed loop feedback system may be obtained by the VID controller 710 issuing a VID to the VRM 800, which in turn outputs the corresponding Vcc level. The Vcc may be translated to the correct frequency in the core clock. That is, the core clock may be regulated such that the average frequency is N times the external clock. This may be accomplished using the divide-by-N circuit 730.
The VID controller 710 may output the VID as a digital code along signal lines of the VRM 800. These signals may be parallel signals (such as five bits, for example). The signals may also be serially sent from the VID controller 710 to the VRM 800. Serial VID is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/895,062 filed Jun. 29, 2001. The VID controller 710 may be a digital circuit on-die that decides the VID code to drive the VRM 800. A VID table may specify the digital code versus the analog Vcc voltage to the supplied VRM 800. The processor may decide which VID to send to the VRM 800.
Embodiments of the present invention may also include a temperature sensor provided about the VCOs 850 (or other component) to measure the operating temperature (Tj). The system may also be configured such that the VID controller 710 outputs the VID to the VRM 850 based on the sensed temperature and a desired temperature. Further, the VID controller 710 may provide the VID as a function of the temperature and/or the frequency. Operations further relating to the setting of the operating frequency based on the operating temperature and an operating voltage are provided in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/138,345, filed simultaneously herewith, and entitled "Altering Operating Frequency And Voltage Set Point Of A Circuit In Response To The Operating Temperature And Instantaneous Operating Voltage Of The Circuit."
According to embodiments of the present invention, the frequency control circuit may operate in a frequency maximizing mode and/or a power minimizing mode. Other modes of operation are also within the scope of the present invention. In a frequency maximizing mode, the frequency control circuit may direct the voltage regulator (such as the VRM 800) to increase the Vcc to a maximum allowed by the presently sensed temperature on the processor (such as about the VCOs 850). In a power minimizing mode, the frequency control circuit may reduce the Vcc as long as a minimum target frequency is met. This mode may utilize only enough power to attain the target frequency. The reduced Vcc will conserve power.
Embodiments of the present invention may also include a software selectable mode switch. The operating system may decide when performance or power is more important and operate the switch to the respective mode. The operating system may decide to go into low power mode, and also to change the target frequency, thereby allowing an even lower Vcc, Fmax and power.
Embodiments of the present invention may also include software selectable speed targets. A speed target charges the frequency that a component (such as a processor) was originated for. There may be programmable limits on those speed targets. For example, speed targets such as 2�, 1�, 0.75�, and 0.5� may be available. That is, if a component was a 5 GHz component, then a 2� target implies 10 GHz. The component may deliver the highest frequency it is able to given the present temperature (and derivatively, the present Vcc). A 0.5� speed target may cause a 5 GHz component to attempt to slow down to 2.5 GHz. The component may be unable to slow down this much by dropping to its minimum operating voltage. However, the component may go to an extremely low power condition. Other speed targets are also within the scope of the present invention.
More specifically,
On the other hand, as the demand decreases, the VFC loop may quickly settle toward Vccmin. As Tj cools further, Vcc cannot be reduced below Vccmin anymore, and the Vcc loop will naturally force a higher core frequency. There are three options at this point. First, a higher core frequency may be allowed. The system may relay on Tj and core frequency to equilibrate while keeping Vcc=Vccmin. This option may result in a higher core frequency while activity/demand is low. As a second option, if low background performance is acceptable, then the ratio N may be reduced iteratively to reach a lower core frequency, until an equilibrium is reached whereby Vcc is slightly above Vccmin. As a third option, if an idle state is desired to reduce power further, then an override mechanism may disable the VFC loop and go into a sleep (i.e., stop clock) state.
Advantages of embodiments of the present invention will now be described. At the highest operating point, Vcc may be at its maximum, and correspond to the hottest junction temperature. This operating point may be limited by reliability. Rated performance may need to be guaranteed at this highest operating point. This maximum point may be dictated by maximum performance demand (or load current). As performance demand (or load current) decreases, the junction temperature cools. This may bring a temporary increase in the core frequency, which is counteracted by negative feedback to bring about a decrease in Vcc, thus maintaining constant average frequency. As performance demand decreases further, Vcc and temperature reduce hand in hand until the lowest load current state is reached.
Thus, negative feedback continually forces a Vcc, which is always just sufficient to sustain the rated core frequency, to a Vcc that is not too high (inefficiency) or too low (speedpath failure) for any valid temperature condition. There may be a rapid transfer from a highest performance point to a lowest performance point, thus conferring rapid energy delivery-on-demand (or energy conservation-on-demand) along an efficient transition curve. This efficiency may translate to a large increase in battery life for laptop or portable computers, for example.
In order to lock to a desired bus-to-core frequency ratio, the digital voltage frequency control (VFC) machine may count the internal core clocks and attempt to guide the internal core frequency to a long-term lock point that is a pre-determined ratio with respect to the external frequency. At lock, the VID may vary between two or more code values. This feedback may be performed with a slow time constant such that power supply droops (due to noise) are tracked by the oscillators. For example, quick first droops in the nanosecond scale may be addressed through instantaneous frequency tracking of the oscillators. This tracking may allow the core frequency to rise and fall in concert with supply noise, thus making the processor noise-tolerant, as its frequency is not limited by the lowest instantaneous Vcc level.
The bus-to-core frequency ratio may be very arbitrary. In PLL-based synchronous core designs according to disadvantageous arrangements, the ratio may be an integer, or a simple low integer fraction. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ratio may take on any positive real number (even less than 1). This flexibility may enhance marketability.
A voltage monitor may ensure reliable operation at both the high and low ends. The highest operating point may be limited by reliability, which can be computed based on junction temperature, frequency, and voltage profiles. The average frequency may be known, the junction temperature may be reported from an on-die temperature sensor, and the voltage may be detected on-die (i.e., by a bandgap reference). By employing a digital calculator or the like, the optimal maximum supply voltage point may be extracted without sacrificing performance margin through conservative guardbanding. In other words, by computing the real-time usage of the part, taking into account derating due to non-100% loading, the maximum Vcc may be pushed higher to use up the reliability margin, thus converting it to more performance.
At the lowest operating point, the minimum Vcc may be usually determined to be the point at which functionality cannot be guaranteed due to finite headroom of certain circuits or increased variability of circuit performance. This Vcc minimum cutoff point may be used to force the core frequency to zero, thus entering a deep sleep powerdown state.
The voltage frequency control scheme may allow for deterministic power throttling states where the core frequency is throttled down from N to M, where M is lower than N, and is a fixed proportion of N. M can be deterministically picked such that the performance of the processor is not too much lower than its nominal ratio N such that it encroaches into the next lower frequency bar.
Embodiments of the present invention have been described with respect to a clock generating circuit, a clock distribution network and a power distribution network. The clock distribution network is intended to include clock distribution grids and clock distribution trees and their equivalence. The clock generating circuit and/or power distribution network may be provided in areas (other than the core) that include any type of clock distribution network and/or power distribution network.
Any reference in this specification to "one embodiment", "an embodiment", "example embodiment", etc., means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Further, when a particular feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with any embodiment, it is submitted that it is within the purview of one skilled in the art to effect such feature, structure, or characteristic in connection with other ones of the embodiments. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, certain method procedures may have been delineated as separate procedures; however, these separately delineated procedures should not be construed as necessarily order dependent in their performance, i.e., some procedures may be able to be performed in an alternative ordering, simultaneously, etc.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to a number of illustrative embodiments thereof, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art that will fall within the spirit and scope of the principles of this invention. More particularly, reasonable variations and modifications are possible in the component parts and/or arrangements of the subject combination arrangement within the scope of the foregoing disclosure, the drawings and the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention. In addition to variations and modifications in the component parts and/or arrangements, alternative uses will also be apparent to those skilled in the art.

"The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority. Unrestrained political authority, though it be confided to masses, cannot be trusted without positive limitations, men in bodies being but an aggregation of the passions, weaknesses and interests of men as individuals." ~ James Fenimore Cooper

In a video about the event, Donnelly says, "Fellow prisoners reported that marshals were promoting me as 'the next Timothy McVeigh.'" In the minds of federal enforcers, when they attempt to terrorize people into submission to the state, they are just doing their jobs. And any effective opposition they face is put in the same category as murderous terrorism.

RC981S/74F Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of RC981Sin our 2015, and 2016 Roberto Cavalli range.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The butterfly look is characterized by the thick full frame. The classic shape has an enduring popularity and is always en vogue. Stars like Marilyn Monroe made the look famous. This eye-catching shape is particularly suitable for faces with broad cheeks. The butterfly shape attracts everyone's attention. Due to its extravagance, it is absolutely perfect for confident personalities. The look is particularly suitable for somewhat shorter faces because the special shape makes the faces appear elongated and, thus, more slender. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The RC981S is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The colour pink is a real all-rounder. It can be ladylike, be chic in the right combination and can be worn with a twinkle in your eye. For men who have the courage, pink is still en vogue. Similar to grey, brown lenses don't distort the visual impression as much as other colours do. With all other shades, the eyes take longer to neutralize the colour impression. You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Roberto Cavalli back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get RC981S at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Low-calorie magic at Seasons 52
Call in the calorie police. Everything at the new Seasons 52 at South Coast Plaza is 475 calories or less, but it sure doesn't taste like any skimping is going on.
The Florida-based chain (this is its first West Coast location and its 12th restaurant) uses no butter, cream or fryers. Instead, the food is roasted or wood-fire grilled, and flavors are enhanced with spices, vinegars, stocks and olive oil. The menu will change, depending on what's in season.
The first time I arrived was on a weeknight and the place was packed. Seasons 52 has taken over The Clubhouse's old space, but it looks totally different: "polished casual," in their words, with soft lighting for dinner and, the night I was there, a piano player. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, with loads of suggestions.
I ordered a glass of Mirassou ($7.50) Pinot Noir (you can get 60 of the 100 selections on Seasons' impressive wine list by the glass) and the Tiger Shrimp Penne ($17.95) with lemon sauce. I seriously had to remind myself I was eating low-cal. The dish was loaded with chunks of roasted carrots, grilled red peppers and cremini mushrooms that are brushed with balsamic vinegar before hitting the fire. The shrimp had a smoky grilled taste. And the sauce was light and simple, but not at all short on flavor. I later learned it's made with chicken stock, lemon zest, tamarind soy sauce and rosemary. The chef uses arrowroot for a thickener instead of corn starch or flour.
The Spicy Chicken Chili Relleno ($9.95) was another winner. The pepper was grilled over an oak fire and then stuffed with grilled chicken, goat cheese, cottage cheese, spinach and basil. Surrounding it was one of the best pico de gallos I've ever tasted. The tomatoes were skinned and diced with roasted red and yellow bell peppers and then flavored with lime juice and cumin seeds that were toasted and then ground with a mortar and pestle.
I would also recommend the Eggplant Parmesan Flatbread ($9.60), except that I later learned this was the last week it would be on the menu. Seasons has a list of flatbread staples though, like the chicken garlic and steak and mushroom. The bread itself had a nice flavor and, in this case, was topped with melted mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, tomatoes and eggplant that had been sliced super thin, brushed with olive oil and roasted.
After dinner the waitress arrived with a flight of what they call their Mini Indulgences: gourmet desserts squeezed into extra large shot glasses: brilliant. Each was $2.75 and just big enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, but not so big you're crashing on sugar, or you can go crazy and get a bunch. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse was probably my favorite: light and creamy, sitting on top of a two-bite wedge of chocolate cake.
The next time I went, I was seated on the patio. A handful of tables ringed a modern gas fire pit topped with broken pieces of recycled glass.
This time I tried the Grilled Turkey Tenderloin Skewer ($16.50). Chunks of turkey were marinated in a honey Dijon mustard and skewered in between peppers, onions and roasted cremini mushrooms. It arrived on a bed of orzo. I probably wouldn't get this again. The turkey was a little dry. And I didn't think the barbecue dipping sauce fit the dish.
Since I didn't load up on turkey, I figured I deserved two desserts. I tried the Belgian Chocolate Rocky Road, a thicker, richer chocolate mousse that had me licking the spoon, and the key lime pie.
I went back to Seasons 52 one other time, for lunch. The place was packed but I found one chair open at the bar, where you can order the full menu and watch TV, or well-heeled people.
I tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap ($9.95). The chicken was grilled and sliced thin, then wrapped in a soft pita bun with some lettuce and low-fat Caesar dressing. It arrived in its own little silver cot, which kept the sandwich together. Again, how do they keep the calories down? Even though I was full, I indulged in the pecan pie over vanilla mousse. You should too.

We waited for at least 5 years to be in a position to buy our first home together. We were nervous, but Nick and the team explained everything along the way and it was a surprisingly smooth, quick process to get us into our home. We are so excited.
Thank you
Anna Denietolis was personnal and accommodating. She understood my needs and went above and beyond in order to close the deal.She was Awesome!
My experience with Eric was great. I told him what I wanted to do and he did the rest from that point. He didn't call me everyday and harass about things. overall great experience with the company and Eric. One negative I have is right after the closing I was then informed my loan might be sold to wells Fargo or chase. That actually is pretty upsetting to me. I do not want wells Fargo to take control of my loan. I don't trust that company and already have negative history with them. I have not been a customer of there's for a reason, they took my student loans and really fouled them up. My displeasure with that company would have actually steered me away from your company if I knew that's what you were going to do with it.
Basically, we only continued with VU because of our desired timeline and other plans we had made for moving our stuff. Had we had more time and fewer schedule constraints we definitely would have sought financing elsewhere. We both felt as time went on that both Collin & Lauren were not very helpful, not very responsive & not completely forthright with paperwork/documentation that was needed.

Great Experience overall. Set a date and almost made it. One day off was not a big deal to me! Darin kept me in the loop at all times!
The enterprise Al office is amazing everyone working there was polite and respectful. Great bussiness and exceptionally friendly.
This was my second time utilizing my VA loan benefits and working with Anne Kuster. She is an excellent loan officer and very good at what she does. Both times I've gone through Veterans United when buying a home were positive experiences.
Members of Collin's team (Lauren and Lindsey) need to get their _____ (ducks) in a row. They waited until the 11th hour to request information, therefore my closing was delayed (I requested a certain date for a reason). This was unacceptable to me but unfortunately, there wasn't anything I could do about it. They also stated that requests were made but didn't receive any reply. As the person whom all requests come through at my job, I knew this to be incorrect. They were trying to cover their butts in my opinion.
As my brother is also closing on a home with Collin, he is aware of the problem with Lauren and Lindsey and will be heading off the situation ahead of time. Collin needs a new team or train the one he has.
Paperwork should be completed and ready to go at a min of two days prior to the requested closing date. There was no reason I couldn't have had my closing date if someone hadn't been sitting on their ass instead of following up the day before.
Thank you all for taking such good care of us with the purchase of our home.
We feel fortunate to have had this experience. We got a lot more than we ever expected and feel great about getting our loan. Mr. Wessel and everyone in your organization we have communicated with has been patient with us and gave us a better understanding of the whole process.
What a great company and great experience. Scott Ratliff and Kelly Taber made everything so easy to do. They both were very knowledgeable and quick responses to emails and phone calls. I would recommend them to all my friends looking into buying a house. Thank you guys for making this a painless process.
Team worked real well with us to get our loan completed.
I would recommend veterans united to any veteran trying to purchase a home.
It has been our great pleasure working with the entire Veteran's United team!
We especially appreciated Tommy Purk's open/upfront communications and timely responses that the team provided throughout the entire process.
Best regards and thank you doesn't seem adequate to express our sincere appreciation so I hope you know how grateful we truly are for the VU assistance in helping us obtain our dream home in Farmington, New Mexico.
We would highly recommend VU team to anyone seeking a VA insured loan.
We choose not to use the VU referred Real Estate Agent due to lack of professionalism. We recommend our agent Eva Armenta be considered as a candidate for your referral agent program.
Everything was finalized on a timely manner just as Kevin had explained to us it would. We'll satisfied.
If I had to come up with one negative facet, it would be that on signing the papers, we we did not feel we should be paying for the lenders title insurance. It certainly was a reasonable figure, but we both felt it should have been paid for by the lender.
Could not have went thru this transaction without her.super rep
Sam Yoo and Kendall Eckles were wonderful. They both were extremely attentive and responsive. They made this entire process pleasant and we appreciate their help. I'm not sure if other mortgage lenders' business model is the same as Veterans United but your process should be a model for those that don't utilize the same process. Great job!

President Esayas travelled to the two sites to assess the extent of the damage caused by the attack. Opponents to the regime often accuse the regime to have utilized the huge revenue from the Bisha Gold Mining to bolster its ruthless rule against the people of Eritrea.

By Sonja's Art Lab

for shows but I ordered it to small
Wobbly when assembled
By artist
from Portsmouth, NH
I wanted this to hold my portfolio of unframed images for an art show. I had purchased the same item last year and was very happy with it. However, this year I ordered a second one and there is a defect in the way the holes are drilled in the frame where the legs are to be screwed in. The holes are apparently drilled on a slight angle, which means when you screw in the legs to attach them, they end up on an angle and not straight with the frame above. The result is that all four legs do not touch the ground at same time. The resulting very wobbly stand does not look professional or safe to hold the art - especially if using for light weight images. I fear it would be easily tipped over. Thinking it was a defect in the one I got, I returned it and reordered, only to find the same thing in the replacement one. Too bad. Obviously no quality control!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We apologize for the defects in the the racks you've received. We've had our quality control staff check to make sure the racks we have are as they should be, and we're happy to make sure you have a print rack that works for you. We hope that you'll call us at 1-800-727-2787 to speak to a Customer Care Agent.

Background Dravet syndrome is a severe infantile epileptic encephalopathy caused in approximately 80% of cases by mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel subunit gene SCN1A. The majority of these mutations are de novo. The parental origin of de novo mutations varies widely among genetic disorders and the aim of this study was to determine this for Dravet syndrome.
Methods 91 patients with de novo SCN1A mutations and their parents were genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the region surrounding their mutation. Allele specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on informative SNPs was used to separately amplify and sequence the paternal and maternal alleles to determine in which parental chromosome the mutation arose.
Results The parental origin of SCN1A mutations was established in 44 patients for whom both parents were available and SNPs were informative. The mutations were of paternal origin in 33 cases and of maternal origin in the remaining 11 cases. De novo mutation of SCN1A most commonly, but not exclusively, originates from the paternal chromosome. The average age of parents originating mutations did not differ from that of the general population.
Conclusions The greater frequency of paternally derived mutations in SCN1A is likely to be due to the greater chance of mutational events during the increased number of mitoses which occur during spermatogenesis compared to oogenesis, and the greater susceptibility to mutagenesis of the methylated DNA characteristic of sperm cells.

The federal government is looking expectantly to the Homeland Security Department to take the lead on cybersecurity, and while officials there say they are ready to step up, it's not an effort without inherent growing pains.
Real progress is being made toward becoming a cohesive, effective frontrunner for federal cybersecurity, according to Mark Weatherford, DHS undersecretary of cybersecurity for the National Protection and Program Directorate. However, he admits it isn't an easy journey.
"DHS is nine years old now, and that sounds like we should be a really mature organization. But I can tell you, when you put this many different independent, large organizations together and say, 'OK, now you're one large DHS organization,' which is what happened in 2003 – we're still maturing," Weatherford said Oct. 17 at an (ISC)2 event in Arlington, Va. "Some of these other organizations like DOD and [Energy Department] have a long lead time on us. But I think we're doing very well, especially in the cyber arena."
In particular, DHS is developing the components critical to national cybersecurity, including the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), designed to be the nerve center of the government's civilian cyber and information-sharing operations. A number of DHS and other federal officials have mentioned NCCIC lately – especially in appearances associated with National Cybersecurity Awareness Month – and Weatherford said it has been a boon for crucial information-sharing.
"NCCIC is new organization; it's been in place for a little over two years. But it's just now starting to hit its stride. The beauty of it is that it's the nexus of information-sharing for the federal government and private sector," he said of the organization, which includes participation from local, state and federal entities as well as the Secret Service, FBI and information and analysis centers for the electric and financial sectors.
"This may not sound like a big deal, but I can tell you when you get people in a room like this working together on a daily basis, there's information-sharing that just never would have ever happened before. There's a richness that we're starting to realize out of that sharing of information that is really helping the entire nation."
Weatherford said he's also tackling other struggling areas of DHS' cyber efforts, including building up a workforce with essential cyber skills, emphasizing the situation's gravity.
"Something that's a problem for DHS, the federal government, the state governments and for almost every private sector organization I talk to…it's the one thing that continues to come up, that there's a lack of true cybersecurity talent. I mean the real ninja kind of guys and gals that you can build your security program around," he said. "I don't think it's overstating to say this is a national emergency."

Get the full issue
Since 1996, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
A short-term funding bill is expected by Sept. 30 to keep the federal government operating through early December, but after that the options get more complicated.
The DOD is opening a new Defense Innovation Unit Experimental office in Austin, Texas, while Congress debates legislation that could defund DIUx.
A House panel approved a new IT modernization bill that appears poised to pass, but key funding questions are left for appropriators.
The Army's cyber director said cyber, electronic warfare and information operations must be integrated into warfighters' doctrine and training.
FCW honors 30 early-career leaders in federal IT.

A fury of dots and dashes come trough the receiver. The translator turns in amazement. "A Zero IBU IPA by two breweries separated by sea?" His commanding officer lays a grizzled hand on his shoulder as his eyes narrow toward the horizon. "No bastard ever won a war by playing it safe, son."
The International Arms Race is a new type of battle collaboration between hardcore American craft brewery Flying Dog and BrewDog.
Zero IBU IPA is an ale brewed with berries and herbs.
2 IPAs that rock.
Hunt them both down and see which beer you think deserves to win the battle and the war.

News Detail
Recent Alumni Start Website; Encourage Holiday Giving
While Jake Weidert and Rocco Carzo were winding down their last semester at St. John Fisher College last spring, they started their own company called BookDecay.com. The idea behind the website was to encourage students to provide textbook reviews online that go beyond what's explained in a course syllabus in an effort to help their peers better prepare for courses. For the month of December, these members of the Class of 2011 have decided to use their company to give back during the holiday season.
This month, BookDecay.com will donate $0.20 for every review provided on its site to the Toys for Tots Foundation. In addition, on Thursday, December 8 only, they will donate another $.20 for every review to Camp Good Days and Special Times in honor of the local ROC the Day fundraiser. ROC the Day is a 24-hour community initiative geared to raise money for a variety of charities in Rochester.
Weidert and Carzo hope this initiative encourages students to improve their education by helping each other with the peer reviews. In addition, they want to help students realize the power they have to make an impact on the world and in the lives of others.
"At a time when our economy is struggling, the costs of college and the value of an education have become increasingly important," Weidert said. "Students should be in control of the type of experience they have."
Regarding the company's current fundraiser, Carzo added, "It's a simple act – reviewing a textbook – but the effect can be profound if students believe in their ability to bring about change."
After launching on September 1, BookDecay.com offers access to students from over 100 schools from across the country. In addition to continuing to expand, the company's goal is to improve its offerings to become the only necessary destination on the Internet for information regarding textbooks and eventually they hope to begin a scholarship fund.
