We are officially in the second phase of a multi-phase campus expansion project, with completion of Phase II expected in summer 2013. The project will expand the campus to 292,000 square feet.
Tunxis Students: Participate in the Art Installation and Become a Part of Tunxis History!
"Passing Through," a public art project for the Phase II construction new building, includes installation of life-sized stainless steel silhouettes of human figures on the walls of the new building. The theme is of people engaged in a trek and is intended as a metaphor for the educational journey. Tunxis students will model for the silhouettes, so the project will represent a snapshot in the history of the College at the time when the expansion was completed. Students who participate in this project will receive a stipend of $250 and have their silhouettes immortalized on the wall of the new building.
To be considered for this project, you must be a current Tunxis student. You'll need to submit a written response explaining your journey to Tunxis—the significant circumstances and events that led you to Tunxis Community College, and the ways in which Tunxis has affected your life. We hope to represent diverse stories and backgrounds. Approximately 30 to 40 students, selected on the basis of their essays, will then model for the silhouettes and become part of this permanent wall installation. The essays will become part of a website associated with the project. Interested students should email their essay (prior to send of the semester) or questions to Brad Guarino, the artist, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The artwork project is required by a Connecticut law that requires "not less than 1% of the cost of construction or substantial renovation of publicly accessible state buildings be allocated for the commission or purchase of artworks for that building."
Phase II
Phase II includes construction of a three-story, 56,000-square-foot classroom building which extends from the 600 Building and will add approximately 20 classrooms to campus while making room for future office space.
Currently: Construction remains on schedule, and as of March 2013, the project is 77% complete.
Exterior brick installation is 95% complete, and roof work is nearing completion. Exterior window installation and electrical work are 80% complete.
Sheet rock installation is 90% complete and ceiling grid has been installed. Classroom and exterior hallway walls are currently being painted. Tile floor installation of bathrooms is in progress.
Cabling for computer networks will start during the end of March.
A bid was advertised for furniture. Furnishings are expected to be delivered in mid-July.
As part of requirements to meet LEED certification standards, tanks have been installed in the basement for rainwater harvesting. When completed, rainwater collected from the roof will be directed to restroom toilets.
A walkway is under construction which will provide another passage from the courtyard to buildings on the south side of campus.
Parking, Driving and Getting Around Campus:
- The Continuing Education Office moved from Room 326 to Founders Hall to make way for a new walkway which is in progress.
- Construction of the north entrance to campus (closest to Route 6) is complete, and is right turn only for those exiting campus. The south entrance off Route 177 has been widened to accommodate a new traffic signal, which was installed in August.
- Parking in the Bidstrup Hall parking lot and along the grassy area next to the back of the 600 Building is no longer available since these are now part of the fenced-off construction area.
- Extra security will be assigned to the main parking lots at the beginning of fall 2012 semester to help keep traffic flowing.
Entry and Exit from Buildings:
- Those entering the 600 Building will have to use entrances other than the back entrance facing Route 6. Those who wish to exit through this door will only be able to go left due to the temporary construction fencing.
- All other buildings are unaffected.
Other Project Details and Miscellaneous Facts:
- In compliance with CT statute for new state buildings, Tunxis is meeting the LEED point certification process. At the end of the project, the building will at least meet the LEED silver standard.
- A ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of the new building is tentatively planned for fall semester 2013.
- The steel structure was topped off on August 3, 2012.
- December 6, 2011 marks the official start date of Phase II construction.
- The construction schedule for state projects is based on the contract signing date. The contractor must start the project within days of the contract signing.
- The construction site is a restricted area where hard hats are required.

Akita tries to attack a bear on the tv
This is actually pretty cool since Akitas were originally breed centuries ago to hunt bears.

8. as a general hunting dog but more specifically to hunt bear
The Akita Prefecture of Japan (for which the breed is named for) is very mountainous and very cold. Many centuries ago bears made the best game for the amount of meat and the thick fur hides for the people of the small scattered villagers that lived in the region. A hunting dog was needed that was large, solid, strong and generally fearless that was thickly furred to deal with the cold and rugged to deal with the terrain. Two Akitas could hold off and corner a bear for quite some time until the hunters got there to kill it. To the Japanese particularly back then their dogs were workers - not pets - their size and strength was necessary to haul back the catch to the village. But because they were not seen as pets, in extreme winters sadly they were used for food and hides when hunting became very lean.
But the Akita eventually earned it's place as a necessary part of the family as they made great protection dogs whether from marauders from other villages or from animal predators, but they also are very family oriented dogs bonding very strongly to their human families and naturally babysat the kids of the busy mothers. Even today Japanese mothers use their Akitas to help out with watching the kids.
Interestingly, the first Akita into the US was given as a gift to Helen Keller when she visited the Akita Prefecture after hearing of the popular story at the time of the famed Akita, Hachiko, that waited at the train station every day for his master to come home from work (there is still a statue of Hachiko at the train station in his memory and is still shiny around the head area because everyone pets the statue for good luck). Sadly, the dog, named Kamikaze-go, died not very long after of distemper. Upon hearing of how much she loved the dog and how upset she was about his death the Japanese government then sent her Kamikaze's older brother, Kenzan-go, as an official gift from the government. She was rarely seen without her Akita with her.
It was after World War II that Akitas started really coming to the US. US servicemen fell in love with the breed and many of them brought them home from the war and started their own breeding programs. More recently, the Akita split into two slightly different style's - the American style and the Japanese style, though interestingly it is the American style that more closely represents the original breed from centuries ago. The American style is generally bulkier with a more boxy snout and except for pure white Akitas has the black mask. This is due to the Mastiff breed bred into them for size and strength. The Japanese style is lighter and more streamlined with less bulk, no black mask and a more pointy fox-like snout. This style more resembles the Japanese smaller cousin of the Akita, the Shiba Inu, in looks but not size, which is due to having bred out most of the Mastiff qualities.
This is the Japanese style Akita...
And this is the American style Akita...
And here are some adorable Akita puppies to gush over just because they're so damn adorable...

5. All of mine were fascinated by horses but no other animals
Especially if they're running or making noise. Kind of weird because only the first Akita ever saw a real horse before. They even try to check behind the tv to try to figure out how to get to the horses. They could care less about any other animals on the tv though and I watch a lot of nature programs. Expect Yoshi (the one I have now) was terrified of the herd of running buffalo in Dances with Wolves... he raced to the sofa and climbed me like a tree... "Save me from the big scary beasts charging at me on the tv, Mommy!" Goofy dog.

6. My bullmastiff used to lunge at the tv when an animal came on,
get frustrated and go into the next room behind the tv, get frustrated and then go lay down in the
hall when she couldn't find the animal in the "window"
We stopped watching DVDs and video tapes with animals in them to spare the dog's feelings.

The Repossession by Sam Hawksmoor
Believing she is possessed, Genie Magee's mother has imprisoned her all summer encouraged by the sinister Reverend Schneider. Beautiful Rian, love of her life, sets her free, and their escape washes them up at Marshall's remote farmhouse downriver. But why are there newspaper clippings of the missing kids pinned to Marshall's bathroom wall? And should they believe his stories about the experiments at the Fortress, an underground research station nearby?
Genie meets Denis. Missing two years now, but hasn't grown an inch. Rian is haunted by Renée, who insists she's not actually dead. Soon they discover the terrible truth about Reverend Schneider and worse, Genie is next ... and Rian can't do a thing to prevent it.
The Repossession is just the beginning.
My Rating : 4 of 5 stars
My Thoughts : Genie was possessed, as they said. Locked up in her room, she waited for devil to come and claim her. 34 kids were missing without a trace, and Genie knew she is next. The devil never came and only love of her life Rian broke her free and together they escape. Soon they too shelter in an Old man's farm and discover how those missing kids are related to a scientific research organization known as "The Fortress".
The Repossession is a wonderful addition to young adult genres and an amazing work of author Sam Hawksmoor. When I started the book I absolutely had no idea how it was going to be, but the moment I finished the book I left open mouthed. The Repossession is a well-written absolute wonderful sci-fi mystery that once you started reading it; it will never let you go.
I finished the book a month ago, and still trying to wrap my thoughts around it and I'm still trying to think what I should write to praise this book.
This book is utterly remarkable, starting from the plot building to characterization.
He efficiently portrayed the social drama of a small town and how it was being affected by religious fanatics, also unmasked those masked culprits posing as priest and damaging the society by the name of God.
Genie and Rian, both were unbelievably strong. I was instantly felt attached to them, especially Genie. She was so clearly intelligent, brave, and calm, everything that I can't even imagine of being at her situation. She was extraordinary with her talent of teleportation and used her power very wisely. Rian was undoubtedly believable, loving and supporting. He the very definition of ideal, still real boyfriend with qualities we all are looking for.
The story developed with fine pace without breaking or being dragged anywhere. It was a breathless read for me, an experience that I would love to have again. The book was unpredictable; each and every page was attention grabbing. The book was inspired by all those incidents of kids are going missing all over the world, some are being abducted for wicked purpose, and some are running into wrong direction. The author pointed out one possible reason behind those missing through his novel with a subtle hint for those parents who neglect their kids and pushing them further into darkness.
Big thanks to the author for representing the truth in terms of literature, and a huge achievement.

MTV.com is going to be getting an exclusive preview (and hosting) of the "Incredible Hulk" teaser trailer on March 12th, 2008, and they've been advertising it on TV. Via Real Comix, here's that ad for the teaser trailer — basically, a teaser for the teaser trailer. Oh well, you do actually see a lot of footage from the movie anyway, at least enough to get a sense of how Norton works as the Hulk. I have to say, not bad!
According to the commercial, the teaser trailer will be shown before the premiere of something called "The Gauntlet". Whatever the hell that is.

Rainier Beach HS allowed to compete in nat'l basketball tourney
SEATTLE -- After weeks of wrangling back and forth and the threat of a lawsuit, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, or WIAA, is now granting permission for the Rainier Beach High School boy's basketball team to play in a national championship tournament in New York City.
The tournament, sponsored by Dick's Sporting Goods, is the biggest high school basketball tourney in the country. Weeks ago, The WIAA informed tournament organizers allowing Rainier Beach to play in the tournament would violate three WIAA rules concerning how many games a team can play in one season.
Upon hearing the news, two parents of players hired an attorney together and filed suit against the WIAA. Their intent was to pressure the WIAA into granting the team a waiver, which the WIAA has done in the past for other schools.
But, before either side could have their day in court, WIAA board members on Tuesday heard one last appeal from Rainier Beach High School and this time they said yes.
In response, the attorney for the parents who filed the lawsuit says he will drop the suit as soon as possible. The WIAA says, since they bent their rules, they formed a special committee to look into the issue.
The Dick's Sporting Goods National High School Basketball Tournament runs April 3-4. All the games are televised on ESPN.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'PS Vita & PSP Lobby' started by StuDevo, Nov 21, 2013.
It means he is going to milk you
Sonic racing
Tales of Xillia is 10 quid on PSN right now... Damn I wish could nab that
Do it and Graces F is even cheaper
He explained it in PM
I leave for a week and you all start milking each other, Jesus Christ.
You can find a way
Ha ... it's just like Leda and Zues as a swan
I didn't do it
Well... I just went to check up on my phone and I'll need around 100 pounds to fix it... Fuck's sake :[
What is wrong with it?
Well the initial problem was that the speaker wasn't working
in other words I had to use loudspeaker during a call. Now the dude said the whole motherboard is fucked, along with the charger port. I'm gonna wait for his final word on how much the repair will be. If he says 100 quid again I'm going to take it to another dude and check whether this guy was lying. If it turns out to be true, well... I'll worry about that then.
Huh ... and what phone do you have?
Sony Xperia Z
Have you like ... actually looked online for the problem?
Yeah. I've reset the phone and stuff
I mean through messing around with the hardware
Nah not really. The phone is waterproof thus taking it apart is pretty difficult iirc
It seems like its worth doing to me
Rpg did you read the new One Piece chapter?
Wait... you read stuff like that? On purpose?
I've reading reading a lot of manga lately yeah. I prefer it to anime atm to be honest.
You should read some manga.
I tried to read manga but preferred to watch the anime series
I couldn't get into manga at first too, but now I prefer it to anime. It's really a more convenient and quicker way to experience the story. I also really like how most manga look, I always hoped one day I'd have a huge manga collection. I have a couple physical books but now I just read on my iPad because I'm broke and because some of the best manga never makes it to the west.
The manga definitely looks cool, but the reading back to front was one thing that I didn't like about it
Meh, that's something you get used to
Probably would if I read it more but doubt I ever will
Yeah I respect that
So did you watch the Utd match yesterday?
Not yet
Read it Rpg!
Nah missed it. Sister had her birthday yesterday
So you had a party/meal?
Utd didn't play that bad to be honest. After that game can't see Bayern wining the CL.
Yeah, we went out to get something to eat and watched a movie. Came home and the match was over.
I'm tipping for Atletico to win.
Sounds nice.
I think Chelsea might do it. Can see Jose getting tactics right and getting them to the final.
I really hope you're wrong.
Well now Utd is out I'm a Chelsea fan as they are only english team left. If it was City or Liverpool wouldn't support them though
For me it's the opposite. I dislike Chelsea the most out of English teams
You support a London club so that makes sense.
A lot of my family are Chelsea fans too so maybe that is why have that soft spot for them
@Xbox360OrPS3OrPC I read it ... it's a good chapter but kind of expected
Expected? I didn't think he would eat the fruit, rpg
Yeah, I definitely hate Chelsea lol. I just find them to be a boring club
I did.
I would agree with them being a bit boring now. But I did like watching them play when Drogba was in the team he was a beast
Stu your icon is hypnotizing.
The way you know your gif icon is a good one
@SerGiggles why does your message count read 1?
If all goes well I'll be in London this month. I'm going to drive there and stay in my uncle's house (with my uncle).
I'm planning on not spending much time inside, but the little time that I do waste is supposed to be wasted with my Vita.
So uhh this is the part where you convince me to go back to Persona 4
Play Persona 4 you **** *hits you on the head with a rolled up newspaper*
Hey Rpg, you should read The Breaker.
Describe it?
It's like Kenichi, but better
Manga only?
Wait how would you know? You haven't read or watched Kenichi?
Kid gets thrown into a martial arts world. They're both similar in that sense, I guess.
The Breaker is gorgeous though, and yes it's just manga

International Chocolate Spy
Phoenicia Supermarket on Westheimer and West Houston Center Road has a nice selection of inexpensive imported chocolates on hand for Valentine's Day. Belgian chocolates are available individually for 65 cents each or $16 a pound. There are several gift boxes you can choose from. There are also several choices of imported European chocolate assortments.
My camera and I got the bum's rush when I tried to check out the Valentine's Day offerings at another international chocolate shop. The guy behind the counter at Chocolat du Monde on Morningside in Rice Village told me that photography was prohibited because the shop was the frequent target of industrial espionage.
What would I have to do to become a chocolate spy?

Centrica Threatens To Pull Out Of Nuclear Plant PlanLONDON – Centrica PLC (CNA.LN), the only U.K. company in the running to build a new generation of atomic power plants in the U.K., said it could scrap its plans because of uncertainty over the government's energy policy, the Financial Times reported Sunday.
"Nuclear power stations cost GBP6 billion each and we must know what the return is going to be on that kind of investment," a person close to the company told the Financial Times. "If we don't get the right answers, we won't proceed."

About the book:
Weston College freshman Leesa Nyland has been fascinated by vampires since she was three years old. That's when her mom started acting weird, insisting sunlight hurt her skin because she'd been bitten by a one-fanged vampire. But fascinated doesn't mean Leesa believes. Any more than she believes in blue fire, people who live for centuries, and kisses that can kill. But when her beloved older brother disappears after warning Leesa not to come looking for him, she is forced to consider all these and more. She also has to figure out what to do about her mysterious new boyfriend. She knows Rave likes her a lot-so why won't he kiss her?

Black and White Judgment: Exploring the Gray in the Death Penalty Racial Biases
Joshua Bruner
Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Michael Saenger
Countless statistics specify explicitly the undeniable fact that racial biases are factors that go into the decision of death in specific cases. It is my personal belief that it is awareness that goes into understanding and facilitates change. Therefore, I plan to write a series of monologues to be performed in a location on campus (preferably the Caldwell Carvey Foyer). The set of monologues would take between forty-five minutes and an hour. A different speaker would perform each monologue with a different perspective on the subject. The series would hopefully bring attention to the subject and create awareness along with a moving production. Ideas of characters so far include the death row warden, the wife of a man on death row, the prosecuting attorney, the mother of a victim, and other characters who will be added as research is continued. At this point, there will be approximately eight monologues.
To fully prepare for this, I would attend a conference on Death Penalty reform in New York City, and conduct interviews on the subject. Included in the speakers list is Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking. There is a national conference in New York January 30 through February 2. This will be an amazing opportunity to get quality time to speak with those who have been most affected on the subject. The dialogue is crucial in getting a better understanding of the perspective on many sides of those affected on the subject.
In addition to the monologues, I will make a pamphlet with a paper and facts that would be mailed to the entire campus prior to the performance. This will reach all students and faculty members. This will raise awareness of a subject often forgotten as well as serve for advertisement of the production.

Its been two weeks since I had upper and lower eyelid surgery and am still unable to close my eyes properly especially on my right side. My husband says that it looks funny when I blink too.
When Should I Be Able to Close my Eyes Properly Following Eyelid Surgery?
Doctor Answers 7
Eyelid closure problem after blepharoplasty
Although difficulty with eye closure after blepharoplasty can be normal in some cases, it certainly warrants seeing your surgeon. In lower blepharoplasty, the fact of having undergone surgery makes the muscle that helps close the lid a little lazy. It recovers with time, usually within the first 7-10 days though this may be different for everyone. Swelling is another factor that can contribute to lid closure problems.
However, the fact that you are having trouble after two weeks and that it is asymmetrical, it deserves an evaluation by your surgeon. Even if there is no need for action, he will recommend to you measures to protect your eye from dryness, some of which have been mentioned here. However, in case it does require something, it is, as with everything, better to get evaluated sooner rather than later.
All the best.
In some cases this never returns to normal.
At two weeks however, there is still swelling and lid disfunction from that swelling that may account for the difficulty closing the eyes. It is important to understand that many things do improve with time. Some things don't. It is appropriate to discuss these concerns with your surgeon. However you might find that your surgeon is defensive rather than helpful. Please keep in mind that things soften and look less harsh after surgery and that the time frame to judge the surgery is generally 4 to 6 months. Consider reporting with photographs for a more specific response.
Post blepharoplasty eyelid concerns
After blepharoplasty surgery there can be persistent swelling especially along the lower eyelid. With swelling the lower eyelid can drop away from the eye which can cause tearing and possibly trouble with eyelid closure. You should see your surgeon to assess your situation. In some cases a temporary suture can be placed between your upper and lower eyelid to help with eyelid closure until swelling has subsided. I hope this helps.
You might also like...
The blink mechanism can be affected
You are still relatively early in your post op healing period. Although most of the swelling will resolve in that time, scars that are produced from surgery can take months to soften which will allow better closure. In addition, sometimes the nerves that are responsible for enervating the muscle the closes the eye can be weakened from the surgical dissection. This usually will recover as well, in most patients, but it can take a bit longer [months]
Patients is your best bet for now, and talk to your surgeon. He/she should guide your through this healing period.
When Should I Be Able to Close my Eyes Properly Following Eyelid Surgery?
I would say within two weeks, the eyes should close after an upper and lower eyelid surgery. You should ask the plastic and cosmetic surgeon that did your eyelid surgery this question.
Learn more: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Eye closure with blepahroplasty
In my opinion, you shoudl be able to close your eyes once the swelling has come down. If youa re not able to close your eyes after two weeks, you should be evaluated by your doctor.
You should be able to close your eyes after lid rejuvenation
Short of unusual swelling, you should be able to close your eyes after lid rejuvenation. The lid lag and scleral show can become uncomfortable, and the eye prone to dryness. If needed taping at night may help, and also ointment at night, and drops during the day. Consult with your surgeon, however after two weeks you should also be able to massage the lid to relax the result and bring the lid down.
Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

We unbox the April/May orange box from Nerd Nab
Back in March, I unboxed my very first Nerd Nab box. It came with some pretty rad loot, including a Batman v Superman t-shirt, a Deadpool comic, Marvel Super Heroes Lego, and more.
I expected that to be a once off thing, but to my surprise, another orange box arrived at my door this week. It was the April/May edition from Nerd Nab, and man, was it heavy!
So what was inside? Let's take a look…
Hot damn, did I get lucky or what? Quantum Break… that in itself is some amazing value!
Though, before you rush off and buy the next edition of Nerd Nab expecting the same results as above, let me bring you up to speed. I got what is known as a Nabber Plus box. Every month, 10 random people are selected to be the recipient of some extra goodies.
A YouTube Winner is also selected to receive the same bonus loot. I somehow missed the email before unboxing, but I've since learnt that my last video won me a Nabber Plus box. Hooray, that really was a pleasant surprise!
Anyways, here's what shipped with the standard edition of the April/May Nerd Nab box:
Here's what I got extra as a Nabber Plus winner:
I got lucky, but even if I hadn't, the default Nerd Nab box is still very cool, and packed with some decent value. It even comes with locally produced System Crash, which I wrote about recently.
Anyways, that's the April/May Nerd Nab orange box in a nutshell. Did you order one? Are you sad you missed out? Or does none of this content appeal to you in the slightest?

As most everyone here knows, on Tuesday, we rolled out Neowin 5. In our front page announcement and in our forum thread we talked about some of the improvements that we'd made over the previous version like a new design, color scheme, XHTML 1.0 Strict rendering, etc. Based on some of the great feedback we've got from you over the last couple of days, we've tweaked a few things and will continue to do so in the near future.
The primary focus of the Neowin front page is news. Since 2001, that has been a lot of what generates new visitors and gets them coming into the forums and becoming regular visitors. In our announcements, we touched on something that we changed, but that I'm going to further elaborate on here. Aside from all the new "sexy" design changes, the biggest change you've probably already noticed is the overwhelming majority of space on the front page has changed from C&P news to what is now originally generated content by Neowin staffers and contributors.

Scarlett Johansson is 'smitten' with Sean Penn
While Ryan Reynolds has been hugging up on Sandra Bullock, his estranged wife Scarlett Johansson has also found someone to confide in -- Sean Penn. Good thing his third try at divorcing Robin Wright went through.
A source tells Us that the pair hooked up while she was staying at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont while she was shooting We Bought a Zoo with Matt Damon last month.
"Scarlett first reached out to Sean when she was planning to visit Haiti with Oxfam," the source tells the mag. "She knew Sean was living there in a tent and turned to him for advice." Because who better to ask for advice than someone living in a tent? (She didn't end up going on the trip, though.)
That didn't stop her from becoming "smitten with him," the source adds. Well sure, what 26-year-old wouldn't want to snuggle with a 50-year-old famous for having an Oscar and an ill temperament? But it's because he cares so much!

overclockers.com has an article up which explains the reasons why amd so desperately needs to move away from the mhz = computing power equation that most people have used for years (and assume is still true today). as most already know, an athlon at 1.4ghz often outperforms a 2.0ghz pentium 4 on all but sse2 and memory bandwidth-intensive applications, and does so despite a 600mhz handicap. clearly, the concept of 1.4ghz = 2.0ghz is not true in mhz/ghz numbers alone. but when you look in terms of computing power, the playing field is much more equal. amd's current plan to use model numbers (which describe their computing power relative to a pentium 4) fell under a great deal of criticism when first announced (by myself as well). as time has passed, however, many are coming to believe this is a good idea. amd has comparable products and needs to portray them in a way consumers will be able to easily identify. model numbers will provide a common frame of reference between the markedly different architectures of amd athlon products and intel pentium 4 products. click on this link for the overclockers.com explanation.
rob note: one difference between older "performance rating" schemes and amd's current plans is that the chips that used pr ratings in the past (some amd k5, and the cyrix 6×86) had very weak floating point units, so they appeared to be a joke next to their pentium counterparts for all those who played 3d games and used their processors for intensive tasks. the athlon has a strong floating point unit, and that changes the very nature of many of the criticisms people had of other rating schemes.

|model number versus mhz clock number (12:23pm est wed sep 12 2001)
is the point that it is ok to "fool" an unaware public if it is for there own good? how about being honest and selling the public what it wants. if it wants high clock numbers well then adjust your designs (like intel did) and give them high clock numbers. but, don't try and say amd's missing the boat can be corrected by hiding the truth. model numbers and mhz numbers will be debated and that will leave alot of people with the same sour taste that the old cyrix numbers left. – by firstname.lastname@example.com
|and what happens when (12:32pm est wed sep 12 2001)
intel releases new p4 cores that significantly increase performance? then amd's naming scheme becomes innacurate.
i still think it looks like bad news. – by -me
|email@example.com (12:40pm est wed sep 12 2001)
how is it fooling the public? i would argue the reverse point, that intel is fooling the public. they're suggesting that their 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0 ghz microprocessors outperform the much less expensive athlon 1.4 ghz cpu. this simply is not true.
i would say it's amd's only real line of defense in the face of an established name (pentium) by an established player (intel) who is currently enjoying the fact that consumers are ignorant to the fact that the pentium 4 cpu's actually perform much slower than amd's products.
this action will give amd a definitive presence in consumer's minds. they'll be able to see the "2.0 ghz pentium 4" over here, right next to an "athlon 2000" or "athlon 2.0" over there. that will equate the two together (as they should be equated) in terms of performance.
how would you suggest amd proceed? do you really want them to take their very efficient, and very successful design and modify it just to ramp up the clock speed? intel did this when they went to pentium 4, and see what it's done to their performance?
performance is the real teller. mhz numbers across products mean almost nothing anymore. the consumers must have an equal footing with which to base their decisions. amd is taking steps toward that end.
– by rick c. hodgin
|publish consumer relevant # (12:47pm est wed sep 12 2001)
retailers should publish a couple of "consumer" oriented reference scores. even athlons have added additional sse instructions since their introductions. why not publish a 3d gaming score, an office suite score, a server score etc. on a system rather than a processor speed. the consumer wants to know they bought a good, great, best or economical system for the applications they run. we know that the fastest processor with a slow video board will still give sluggish game playing performance. i know the measurements already exist, i think amd should get their partners to advertise them, along with the processor speed rather than create a new biased, non standard measurement.
– by consumer advocate
|ca,that's not a half bad idea. (1:43pm est wed sep 12 2001)
the industry needs to develop a standard agreed upon benchmark. the public will need to be sold on this. if they don't hear about it, it will just become another computergeek thing to them. next question, who will be the caretaker of this benchmark? none of the parties with vested interest should. that could be a stumbling block. – by oididit�
|with all due respect… (2:33pm est wed sep 12 2001)
do you really think intel is going to subscribe to a standardized benchmarking scheme? the information you are talking about already exists, but it requires the initiative on behalf of the consumers to get out there and obtain it. the model number idea would be a last ditch attempt to put the relevent information before the consumer.
– by rick c. hodgin
|not that you want it, but… (4:28pm est wed sep 12 2001)
my opinion is that if they are going to go ahead with this marketing scheme, they should put both the model number and the mhz rating on the chip. maybe they could put the model number in bold letters or something, but i think it would look better for them if they put both on the chip. then again, i'm not a "marketing genius"… – by tac
|tac (6:40pm est wed sep 12 2001)
no offence but putting both # would really be a diaster.
me has a good point, amd will constantly be renameing there chips. then what if intel makes lower # mhz chip outpreform higher model # athlons??? that would be a huge diaster for amd's marketing stragity. this is how intel killed cyrix. – by nataku
|rick c. hodgin (6:48pm est wed sep 12 2001)
when i said that intel should add the second fpu you said:
what percentage of an average cpu program do you think consists of fpu opcodes? the answer: hardly any! in fact, this very point was recognized by intel from the get go. they even added the ability to not swap out the fpu state during a task switch until such time as a subsequent task needed to use the fpu (which may be never). that was added to save clock cycles on a task switch way back in the 286.
but at the botton of this you say a weak fpu caused the k5's problems but if there are hardly any fp opcodes the fpu wasnt needed anyways. right? care co comment??
|rick (6:51pm est wed sep 12 2001)
do you have a split personality. i know pc's change but they havent changed that much sence the k5's – by nataku
|rick c. hodgin part ii (6:56pm est wed sep 12 2001)
if a strong fpu is what makes the athlon outperform the p4 clock for clock, the a second fpu will even it out. espelly if its a "stronger fpu", but that wouldnt matter becuase there isnt harddly and thing that uses the fpu right?? – by just_da_fax
|just_da_fax (8:02pm est wed sep 12 2001)
#1 – that was something rob added. my part of the blurb is above the "rob note" text.
i will be happy to address any specific questions. and, for the record, i do not have a split personality. and neither do i. :)
– by rick c. hodgin
|the way things should be… (8:56pm est wed sep 12 2001)
it's better this way. you can't rank a cpu by it clock speed. it's a bad way of distinguishing processors, in general. this isn't about "tricking" the public, or "hiding true numbers." amd is doing what is best for consumers. a gap is going to continue to grow in clock speed among all cpu manufacturers, and people who beleive the mhrz myth will follow blindly. – by gebgab
|nataku (11:41am est thu sep 13 2001)
no offense taken. like i said, i'm not a marketing genius, so i really don't know how best to make the consumer think a product is better. anyway, i'll shut up now. – by tac
|northwood (11:43am est thu sep 13 2001)
how much will the northwood p4 with 512k of l2 help intel. it will even up the ghz for ghz. maybe a 2.0ghz athlon will only perform as much as a 2.2ghz or less northwood p4 – by johnson
|mhz whores! (11:49am est thu sep 13 2001)
i can't believe that even we geeks have some among us who can only be called mhz whores. rick said most of what i was going to say in his first post. mhz does not matter! performance does! i know, pretty hard to fathom that concept, huh? mhz is useful in comparing like processors or obtaining a general idea of how a processor compares to others, for example… nobody would buy a 100 mhz chip anymore right? it cannot possibly be as fast as a 1.4 ghz athlon or a 2.0 ghz p4. buy could a 1.0 ghz chip be as fast as a 2.0 ghz chip? it most certainly could. all it would have to do is process twice as many instructions per cycle. (i know, that's oversimplifying it, there's a lot more to it)
what if it was you? what if you were amd, and intel put out an inferior product that 95% of the world thinks is superior? would you not come up with some way to inform the ignorant masses? they can't be educated because they don't want to be, so they must simply be informed. with pr, they won't know it, but they will be just a little bit better informed. i don't like it either… but it seems necessary, not for the geeks' sake, but for the public's and for amd's.
the p4 will someday be the chip it was designed to be, but it is not that chip today. it's pointless to talk only about the improvements intel has planned for the p4, and not even mention what amd is doing. so intel is going to make the p4 better, and amd is going to… do nothing? no, they are working as well. – by md
|amd has let their customers down (8:24am est fri jan 28 2005)
how clever that the "model numbers" that amd chose for their processors are roughly equal to the processor speed + about 30%. people who buy amd don't need this. this is false advertising! now we have to do additional research just to figure out the speed of the processor. amd dropped the ball big time. don't give me that "processing power" crap either! this has made me skeptical of amd, and i'll be sure to compare amd and intel much more rigorously, instead of just buying amd as i have been doing for years. amd could just promote the fact that their processors greatly outperform intel…some of you sheep think what amd is a good idea? and you call yourself geeks? – by luke
|amd hasn't let anyone down (6:19pm est fri feb 25 2005)
calculating the speed of your processor is virtually useless, compared to calculating its actual power. if a 1700+ amd cpu (1466mhz)is equal to a 1700mhz intel cpu, why shouldn't we look and evaluate them as equal? you can be skeptical all you like, but once you manage to actually test it out for yourself (as i did), you'll see that intel usually lags behind. it's like having two cars. one has a 1.4 litre engine and the other a 1.9. on the road they both have the same results, their fuel-consumption is equal, their wear and tear is equal, so why should one be better than the other just cos it's a 1.9? – by tony
|tony's right (6:24pm est fri feb 25 2005)
i think tony's right. big companies can make us believe anything, but it's our hands-on work that counts. if tony's tested it out, then he has something to show which is more than just words…luke

This is the records summary for Sept 27.
Man found dead at Meeker County park
LITCHFIELD — A 52-year-old Fridley man was found dead in a Meeker County park Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Meeker County Sheriff's Office, the apparent suicide was reported around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday by family members of Gerald Vincent Bourgeois. The relatives directed deputies to the south end of the Darwin/Dassel County Park at 688275 237th Street in Darwin Township, near the sledding hill along U.S. Highway 12.
The family members had been attempting to locate Bourgeois, found his truck in the area and then located his body. The family was looking in the area because another relative, who is deceased, was buried in a nearby cemetery.
The Dassel Fire Department and Midwest Medical Examiner's office were contacted to assist at the scene. The incident is under investigation by the Sheriff's Office and the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office.
Man arrested after crash at First Street and 19th Avenue
WILLMAR — A 30-year-old Willmar man was taken by Willmar Ambulance Service to Rice Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries and then arrested on charges of driving while impaired after a motor vehicle crash around 10 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of First Street and 19th Avenue.
According to the crash report, Justin Robert Arkell was driving a 1993 Pontiac and struck from behind a 2007 Chevy Silverado driven by Mark R. Ruplinger, 60, of Willmar. Both vehicles were westbound on 19th Avenue and Ruplinger had stopped for a red light when he was struck from behind by Arkell.
Ruplinger declined medical attention. Charges against Arkell are pending the results of blood testing.
NEW LONDON — A burglary was reported around 6 p.m. Wednesday along the 18000 block of Norway Woods Circle. A shop was broken into and an air compressor reported missing.
WILLMAR — The theft of a 24-foot enclosed trailer was reported around 4 p.m. Wednesday along the 2300 block of Highway 12 East.
WILLMAR — A 19-year-old Willmar man was arrested on charges of underage drinking and driving, driving after revocation and for allowing an open bottle during a traffic stop around 10:45 p.m. Wednesday near the intersection of Third Avenue and 30th Street Northwest. Three male passengers, ages 20 and 19, were cited for underage consumption and illegal possession of alcohol.
District Court
Kandiyohi County
n A felony first-degree property damage charge against a 17-year-old Willmar girl for causing more than $2,600 worth of damage to the grass and fields at Willmar's Robbins Island park this spring was dismissed Monday.
Angela Marie Tadych was ordered by District Judge Donald M. Spilseth to cooperate with the diversion program. She was charged as a juvenile and felony charges against 16- and 17-year-old defendants are public record.
The charges were filed after Willmar Police were called to the park around 6 p.m. April 3. The responding officer didn't find the vehicle that had damaged the park by driving through the mud and grass, but the citizen reporting the incident gave a description of the vehicle and the license plate number.
Using the license plate number, the officer searched the state vehicle database and found that the 1993 Ford super cab pickup had recently been sold to a person living along Lakeland Drive Southeast. The officer went to that location and found the pickup, which was described as muddy. Tadych and others were still inside the vehicle. Tadych was in the driver's seat and allegedly told the officer she'd been driving at Robbins Island.

21st Century Church Contest Entries
Energion's blogging/essay contest is finished. All the submissions are in, and the judging has begun. I know, because I'm one of the judges. Without giving away my preferences or rankings, I thought I would share some thoughts from each essay (in the order listed by Energion):
From A. Amos Love's submission:
This congregation of "Disciples of Christ,†"the ekklesia of God,†" sons of God,†will;
Forsake all…
Love not the world…
Love not their own life…
Just want to know Him…
Count all things but dung…
Always take the lower place…
Make themselves of no reputation…
From Arthur Sido's submission:
Scripture does not lay out a specific, liturgical schedule of events to govern the lives of believers nor is one desirable. All too often we have tried to push Scripture aside when it comes to the gathering of the New Covenant people as the church and replaced it with our own pragmatic solutions, rituals and traditions which may bring us comfort and a sense of being religious but bring little glory to God. Isn't bringing glory to God what the gathering of the church is supposed to be about?
From Lew Ayotte's submission:
When the Assembly of Christ is about building one another up, not dividing over leaders or denominations, focused on recognizing their own leaders, they will inherently be about fulfilling the Great Commission. In fact, I believe following Jesus' command here may be like second nature to them. They will see the world through His eyes instead of their own. As the Assembly of Christ, reaching our neighbors will not be based on a program, chant, or weekly exercise… it will be according to Christ's example. Each member in the assembly will recognize their responsibilities, although different, each one has an extremely important role.
From David Blanton's submission:
Finally, a Jesus Christ ministry cannot help but look like Christ Jesus, the only mirror that is worth measuring itself against. What did the Good Samaritan look like? The parable never gave the listener a physical description because it wasn't important. The only radical ministry is the one that has Christ Jesus as its center, who said to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And love your neighbor as yourself. If a ministry does that, then it cannot help but look like a Jesus Christ ministry. Does the ministry look forward or backward or does it abstain from the obtuseness of looking anywhere but its center?
From Lionel Woods' submission:
When the disciples met with Christ, He was modeling community before them. They asked "where are you staying†and He answered "come and seeâ€. From that day forward they lived in a community, sharing, eating, living amongst, and knowing one another. They would have looked at what we giggle at today as a cult. We think that type of life on life is appalling, idiotic, unnecessary, we believe that type of life is too radical, ridiculous, we cling on to our autonomy like it is a right, my friends it is not. We belong to a King. A King who has created us for this community a community to reflect who He is.
From James Lee's submission:
This aptly demonstrates the need for our ministry to each other and provides a point of commonality that will equip us to be true salt and light in the world while loving each other. We cannot accomplish the tasks of discipleship and proclamation of the Gospel through political agendas, legislated morality, bully pulpits, and sectarian distinctions that scream we are right and you are wrong. We can only accomplish true ministry in this century through the power of Christ, His Holy Spirit, and a love for one another that strengthens us to face the enemy head on, and storm the gates of hell with the victory that was wrought in the spotless Lamb's blood.
From Christopher Larson's submission:
Such ministry will seek to avoid the two pitfalls of pragmatism on the one hand and self important hyper-spiritual perfection on the other. it will celebrate the freedom to do many things so that one thing might in the end be done, and it will celebrate all who share that calling as brothers and sisters in the ministry that takes many external forms, but in the end is one, (Pslam 119:63). Our goal will be to always 'remember Jesus Christ' in whatever form our work may take, and to know however difficult the path may seem He is Lord and He is not in chains, but freely working in and through us to bring forth a people for Himself, (2 Timothy 2:1-9).
I enjoyed all of the submissions. They all caused me to think about the church of Jesus Christ in the 21st century in different ways. I encourage you to read each of the essays.

They are all very good Alan, good luck fellas, hey Alan, I heard you like coffee, if you throw a couple of votes my way, you may find a gift card in the mail "wink, wink" 8)
I know the Family of God is safe for eternity, but, when I look at Christendom (with few exceptions) in Australia, I am deeply saddened, and wonder what the future is going to bring.
Reading these articles causes me to feel a sense of excitement about the earthly future of God's New Covenant people. God is raising up those who read His word and "hear" His voice.
If it will help your judging style.
I have a Barnes and Noble membership.
And the Essay was written in a Barnes and Noble.
Free wi fi. Big soft chairs. Starbucks coffee.
And lots of folks with broken hearts searching for Jesus.
I'm just sayin… 😉

RIVALS Chickerell United and Upwey & Broadwey will lock horns at the Stalls tomorrow (3pm) in a contest that could have major implications on the Dorset Senior League title race.
The reverse fixture was a heated affair back in January, with each side being reduced to 10 men after Chickens' skipper Liam Miles was given his marching orders, while Upwey captain Phil Anderson followed suit.
Both sides have only lost five games between them in the league this season, with the Chickens sitting just one point adrift of table-topping Westland Sports with 10 games of their season left to play.
But Redlands-based Upwey boast an all important game in hand on the league's top two and are hot on the heels of those above them, meaning a win this weekend could put Steve Rey-nolds' men well in the mix to make a late surge as their season rolls on.
Reynolds told Echosport: "It's obviously a huge game and a local derby. We should never have lost to them 3-2 last time so we will be looking to put things right on Saturday."
Meanwhile, Portland United Reserves, beaten 1-0 by leaders Westland Sports last time out, have home advantage again when they host Sturminster Newton United tomorrow (3pm).
Goals from Matt Camp and James Hansford gave Portland a 2-1 win over Stur when the sides last met in October.
And a win for Chris Hicks' men this time around could see them move into the top six.
Meanwhile, the Dorset Premier League's representative team are just one step away from national glory in the FA Inter League Cup.
Manager Matt Morris' side face up to their Hertfordshire Senior County counterparts in the semi-final at Colney Heath tomorrow (2pm).
Four Portland United players have been selected.
Lewis Whyton Adam Lin-aker, Alex Halloran and Ash-ley Smith are in the squad.

What Are the Semis Telling Us?
It was not exactly the rally I thought we'd get as it didn't even come close to 1%. It was actually quite pathetic in terms of S&P points.
But breadth was really quite good so it keeps the McClellan Summation Index rising on the NYSE for now. Curiously enough, over on Nasdaq, where it's the world's fair, the McClellan Summation Index using volume continues to stall out....438 more words left in this article.
