An anonymous NBA scout previews the Wizards for the 2017-16 season.
"They could have issues lingering from last season. It's well-known that John Wall and Bradley Beal don't always see eye to eye. That could create problems. . . . If Beal, Wall and Otto Porter are all playing together, you have one of the best one-two-three combinations in the East. . . . There's nobody in the league faster from end line to end line than Wall. Nobody can get to the rim and finish like he can. But his lack of perimeter shooting has really held him back. And he's looking to shoot a little more than he probably should. Sometimes he plays too fast, where he's just running past everybody and it's one-on-four. He's got to learn to play more cerebrally. . . . A new start should be a good for Markieff Morris. He allows them to play small and space the floor, because you really can't play Marcin Gortat and Ian Mahinmi together. Morris fits in well with either of them. He'll stretch the floor, he'll be able to run. If he produces at the four and Porter elevates his game, they'll be pretty good offensively. . . . Mahinmi's known as a defensive player and a rebounder. He has the skills to go out and guard the pick-and-pop, which a lot of centers struggle to do. He doesn't have great hands, and doesn't have the touch Gortat has or the ability with his back to the basket. The combination of Gortat and Mahinmi, if they were one player, would be pretty good. . . . [New coach] Scott Brooks needs to do a lot of the same things he did in Oklahoma City: change the culture, implement a system. Brooks is a proven winner. Granted, he had good talent, but he did win with it."

The Wine Guild's 2017 Wine tasting & Cuisine Events
Longtime friend and wine aficionado Steve Mancuso of Cincinnati coordinates the Holly Hill Inn Wine Guild program and events. The Wine Guild is fun, accessible, flexible — and free to join! Among the many benefits to being a Wine Guild member, periodically you will receive Barreling Along, our e-newsletter about Wine Guild events and interesting wine-related news. We've planned exciting one-time and recurring events of special interest to guild members, their families and friends. To join, e-mail your name and desired e-mail address to us.
In 2017, Steve has chosen the pairing of wine with food as the theme for the Holly Hill Inn Wine Guild.
From Steve: Those are two subjects near and dear to many of you. The right wine can make food taste better and vice versa. That's why this year the wine guild will take a close look at how they work together.
The pursuit is more art than science. In the end, it comes down to personal taste. Most wines go with most food. The choice of a wine, no matter how little thought you give it, is unlikely to ruin your meal. There aren't singular Holy Grail pairings to be sought and revered.
But following certain guidelines in matching wine to food can enhance your overall culinary enjoyment. Understanding how the two interact and produce a dynamic synergy — where the combination is better than the sum of the individual parts — is the point of thinking about wine pairings.
There are many paths to a great match. So over the course of the year, we'll look at several distinct ways to pair wine and food. Memorizing strict rules isn't fun. Instead, we'll develop a broad-based understanding of what is involved with pairing wine and food, so the process becomes instinctual.
Here is the schedule of our tastings for 2017:

|More [Interviews]
Dan McAvinchey: Thank you for doing this interview Nik, when did you first get interested in guitar, and how did you progress as a player?
Nik Davies: I first picked up the guitar when I was around 7, then became hooked from the age of about 12 onwards. I used to wake up in the middle of the night to play as I was just so excited by it! I had a few lessons, including some classical lessons, then moved more into the realm of acoustic fingerstyle playing.
Dan McAvinchey: Was your album "Unfurl" self-released?
Nik Davies: My album is self-released. However, if I came across a good label I would be up for hooking up!
Dan McAvinchey: What words would you use to describe your music to someone who is hearing your music for the first time?
Nik Davies: My style has been described as atmospheric and gentle. I think this is because I pay a lot of attention to resonance, and try to let the guitar sing out for itself as much as possible. I like open, almost magical, sounding chord voicings; I have always been enchanted by the ethereal side of music.
Dan McAvinchey: How did you write the songs for your most recent album?
Nik Davies: All the pieces were written by me alone. I had a sudden burst of creativity that lasted a month or so, and that is when most of the tracks were written. Having said that, a lot of the chord progressions and fingerpicking styles were developed by me since I stared to find my own style. I guess a number of phrases and progressions built up over a few years, and then I made coherent songs out of them by piecing the bits together.
Dan McAvinchey: Do you get the chance to showcase your music before a live audience?
Nik Davies: Yes I do play live. I recently featured on the Sky Arts programme Guitar Star, in front of judges Helen Sanderson, Huey Morgan and Nitin Sawhney. I play gigs mostly around my city Bristol, as well as at weddings, parties and restaurants.
Dan McAvinchey: Are you using any social media sites to promote your album and music career?
Nik Davies: Yes I use Youtube, Soundcloud, and Twitter.
I email out free tabs for my arrangements via these platforms, as well as showcase some of my original work.
Dan McAvinchey: From a publicity and promotion standpoint, what do you find is working best for you at the moment?
Nik Davies: Youtube and Soundcloud are both very useful platforms for me. I reach people all around the world, and gain followers and requests for tabs on a daily basis.
Dan McAvinchey: What do you find to be the advantages and disadvantages of being an independent musician?
Nik Davies: Being independent allows you to have free reigns over creativity and I think it makes music making a far more personal experience. However, nothing beats playing with other musicians as well, and feeding off each other's vibe. In all honesty, I like working both independently and with other musicians, and that is what I do. I have my own solo project, but I also love to play in my swing band.
Dan McAvinchey: Other than guitar-oriented music, what kind of music do you like to listen to?
Nik Davies: I actually like a lot of electronic and ambient music, as well as post rock, jazz and folk. One of my favourite acts at the moment is Portico. I appreciate good musicianship and production wherever that crops up.
Dan McAvinchey: What's up next for you, what are some of your plans for the future?
Nik Davies: I'm going to continue recording and writing and giving away tabs. I'm hoping to get more into working with film makers, as I�d love to work on more soundtracks for moving picture. I'm also going to continue gigging both as a solo musician and with my swing blues band, and hopefully play at a few festivals in the coming summer.

Hello, I'm Jacqueline, I live in London although I'm originally from Melbourne.
After originally completing a BA in Fine Art I worked for many years as a Graphic Designer but I had always wanted to write and illustrate my own books for children.
My time on the MA has been wonderful, a particular highlight was being awarded a Highly Commended in the Macmillan Prize 2016 for my book "Lost Cat".
I absolutely love writing all kinds of stories and developing artwork to bring them to life. I will be eternally grateful for the help of so many amazing people, both tutors and students who have helped me to grow and develop during my time on the MA. I can't wait to put these new skills into action with the many new projects I currently have underway

The Silo Limit
4 posts • Page 1 of 1
The Silo Limit
Is there a limit to what the silo can hold? My main point is, if I put a lot and I mean a lot in there, does some of it glitch out and vanish like the bales of straw have in the console versions? I'm playing the Xbox One version and Giants have also told me there's a limit to how many bales of straw we can have in the console versions and I'm wondering if the same applies to the crops in the silo. Thanks.
Re: The Silo Limit
I'm 99% certain there's no limit on silo capacity. It's just a number in a file, rather than bales which are individual objects that the system has to render.
I've had a couple of million litres of several crops at a time in mine without issue.

Merry Christmas Everyone
December 25, 2011 by staff
Merry Christmas Everyone, There, we said it. It's a sad statement on today's society, however, that the Christmas holiday for some again came wrapped in a month's worth of insignificant bickering over greetings, decorations and even what schools should call the two-week break from classes that sandwich the Christmas holiday.
We understand the roots of the controversy, to be sure. Christians celebrate Dec. 25 as the day of the birth of the Messiah, Jesus. Many others, however, point to America's diversity and reasonably insist that their holidays deserve equal billing, or at least should not be overshadowed by Christmas. And many others have come to celebrate a more secular, commercial holiday with gift-giving and revelry.
From these differences, again, for some, springs the contentiousness over "Happy Holidays!" or Christmas-themed displays that lack the religious icons or, well, you name it.
It's pathetic, actually, that anyone would allow a day that should stand for peace and good will toward all to degenerate into divisiveness and rancor.
So, today, the high water mark of the holiday season, we greet all celebrating this December's various holidays. We will probably not make everyone happy, but we'll try anyway.
If you are a devout Christian, we greet you this Christmas Day by quoting the choir of heavenly hosts that appeared to shepherds on the night Jesus was born: "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
To those who celebrated Hanukkah, we hope that the age-old story of the Maccabees successful revolt again brings inspiration.
To those preparing to observe Kwanzaa, we hope it rekindles your dedication to the principles and message of the holiday.
To all those who are not religious, who simply enjoy the trappings of the season, we wish you a happy holiday following a year rife with so much uncertainty.
To all, however, we offer a universal greeting for this Christmas and holiday season. Namely, that you spend this holiday surrounded by loved ones and friends, in good health and free from the anxieties of the times.
We should all be mindful of the many people who have lost so much. There is great need around us, and perhaps our energy ought to be directed toward assisting them rather than fighting with each other.
If so, we'd do a better job of honoring and celebrating the season, and living up to its truest meanings across all faiths. For today, though, simply put: Merry Christmas.

Need To Hire A Locksmith? Read These Tips First
There are several things to take into account when hiring a locksmith. Don't wait for the last minute to have a good consumer education! The following information will teach you are reading is designed to offer expert advice and suggestions to get the best locksmith. Read on and keep this information on the topic.
When painting your home, make sure to cover up any locks before doing the doors. If you do it wrong, a locksmith will have to be called in. It takes some time to cover the locks, but it is better than having to call a locksmith later.
Cover up all of your locks before painting. It takes some time to cover the locks, but it will save time and expense because you won't end up having to have the locks changed later.
Be prepared even if you do not foresee needing a locksmith. Ask family and friends about reputable locksmiths in the area, or consult trade associations and the Better Business Bureau for leads. Once you find a good locksmith, keep their number in your address book or saved to your cell phone for future use.
You should prepare yourself even if you need a locksmith is necessary. Research to find reputable professionals that can trust. Put a locksmith's contact number in your cell phone for easy access.
Find a locksmith who has current credentials and stays active in learning more about his trade. While this is just a bonus, you can be assured that a locksmith that is a member of an association or earns additional certifications is up on current trends. It will also allow you to know that they're not just going to try and take your money and not do their work right.
Get a receipt when all of the work is done. That is why you need proof that you paid for the services in full. Keep the receipt in case you have any question with regard to payment later.
Check the credentials of a locksmith before you let him inside your house. This can be done by cross-referencing the business address listed with the phone number. With the World Wide Web at your fingertips, checking someone out is quite easy, so don't skip this step!
Business Hours
Get the information on a good locksmith before you need to find one. If you wait until an emergency arises, such as being locked out of your home or car, your choices will be severely limited. You could also end up with someone who is less than reputable having the keys to all your valuables.
Avoid higher fees by calling the locksmith during his business hours. The locksmith charges goes up after hours. The fee can almost double the fees charged during normal business hours.
Prior to handing over your keys, make sure you get references from any prospective locksmith. Most businesses will be happy to give you references, and it's important that you actually call them. Determine the locksmith's reliability and trustworthiness this way.
Check a locksmith's credentials of any locksmith prior to allowing him enter your home. You can check out their business address with their given phone number.The Web helps you check people out and ensure they deserve your trust, so be sure to use it.
Make sure the price you are quoted for a locksmith job is inclusive and detailed. Does that price include the tax? Are discounts for veterans, seniors or other groups available? Are extra fees attached to things like the urgent service or mileage fees? Know the real total before you sign anything.
Be sure to request identification of any locksmith you plan to hire. A professional run business will gladly show up in uniform and have the right identification to present to their clients.
Ask for licensing and I.D. before having a locksmith come out. Make sure you verify that the license is legitimate. A locksmith that is good will have a license, even if it isn't required.
The Internet is a great resource for a locksmith. A lot of people enjoy getting online to talk about their experiences online. You can find both positive and bad reviews. The fact is that such reviews can potentially help someone make a hiring choice.
Find out what is kept after the job is done. You want to know if they keep copies of your keys, for instance. Imagine the risk if somebody nefarious got hold of them. Find out about this prior to getting the work done.
Be wary of any locksmith says your lock immediately.
A locksmith can check your home's security. Locksmiths know about home security because that's the type of work they do. They will be able to offer some advice on how to protect your home. They may also be able to upgrade your security if that's what you want to do.
You can always do a Google search for you. Don't feel uncomfortable about doing this since it can protect you better than a few locks can. If anything you find out about them makes you uncomfortable, call the company for a replacement.
Don't get a locksmith who won't give you proof of insurance. If a problem arises and your house or vehicle is damaged, their policy will cover your losses. Only do business with a fully insured company.
A good locksmith won't charge you for showing up at your house. Most locksmiths only charge for services performed, so it's a sign that you hired a scammer. If you ask them to leave and they want you to pay, contact the police if they're asking for pay.
When you are able to do so, get competing quotes from more than one locksmith service provider. You can get over-the-phone estimates if when locked out. While it's not a good idea to pick out the cheapest person because of the price, a lot of quotes will allow you to get an average price.
Locksmith services are more costly after hours. Some people will take advantage and use this to overcharge the clients. You can drastically cut your bill by getting several price quotes before choosing a quote from a couple of different locksmiths.
Consider using a locksmith for more than saving you when you are locked out. They can check out how secure your home or business is right now, or even put in a new safe for you. They can ensure your belongings are secure.
Call your local law enforcement agencies to see if they've had any locksmiths in town who have received complaints. You will find the locksmith offers a quality service.Do not select a locksmith who has had numerous complaints.
Ask what happens to your property once the locksmith is finished. Will they be filing away a copy of the keys for their files? This could cause problems if this information is accessed by the wrong people. Ask these question before you give the green light for any work is started.
It's common practice to tip a locksmith for a job well done, so have some extra money for that work. This is especially the case if this was an emergency one. A good tip for a typical locksmith service is 15 percent, while an emergency requires 20%.
Identify the type of service you have been locked out. Have you left the keys locked in your car? This is not the same as if your keys are stolen.
Make sure that it is necessary to get a locksmith before calling one because it is rather expensive to hire one. You can probably handle changing your own locks without hiring a locksmith.
If they do not give you an answer, hire a different locksmith.
You don't know when you'll have to deal with an emergency, so have a locksmith ready just in case. Find out from the rates in advance for emergency situations. There could be other fees, so you can get past any surprises before they come.
Ask your locksmith about how secure your home's security. Locksmiths will be able to give you an accurate assessment of your home's security. They may be able to offer you advice on whether you're protected enough for your home. They are also install upgrades for you as well if you decide to do so.
Don't hire a locksmith who doesn't offer proof of proper insurance. If a problem arises and your house or vehicle is damaged, the insurance will cover it. Do not work with a locksmith who is not have insurance.
Pick a locksmith with lots of experience with your situation. For example, a person that specializes in commercial jobs may not be the best candidate for opening your car. Residential locksmiths may not want to address commercial work like problems with automatic doors.
You can figure out if they're associated with the BBB and if they have been claims filed. If there are, you can find out how they responded.
You should take the time to get several estimates if when locked out. While you don't necessarily want to choose the cheapest option, a lot of quotes will allow you to get an average price.
Research local locksmiths in advance in order to be fully prepared if you ever have an emergency.Trying to get a locksmith in an emergency may result in a bad choice. You should instead know what trusted locksmith ahead of thing happens.
Waiting until after you are locked out of your house or car to try and find a good locksmith really does not make sense. Locksmithing services are ones you should investigate in advance. Hopefully you can use the article you just read to become educated enough so you can confidently hire someone that knows how to work with you.

Marshville (N.C.) Forest Hills defensive tackle Marque Hall has been shifting his favorites list around of late. So who is on top for the No. 65 player in the country?
"No real leader, but NC State is probably recruiting me the hardest," said the 6-foot-5, 305-pounder. "I like the two in-state schools, but North Carolina is struggling a bit while NC State seems to be back on track. I also like Tennessee a lot as well as Virginia and Virginia Tech. I want to choose a school for more than their win-loss record, but I also want to win."
Hall has had plenty of college coaches swing by his school to watch him play this season.
Article Continues Below
"South Carolina, UNC and NC State have all been by and others are coming," said Hall. "I'm hoping to start setting up some official visits soon. I want to take all five before I do anything."
And what schools will he visit for sure?
"NC State and UNC I think I'll take officials to as well as Tennessee," he said. "I'm also looking at Virginia, Virginia Tech, South Carolina, Clemson and a few others. I need to decide on the last two visits."
Hall has led his team to a perfect 6-0 record this season and has 35 tackles and seven sacks. He's been keeping up with college football as best he can.
"I'm watching when I can," he said. "I'm trying to see where I'd fit best."

Unanswered: SQL Query For Duplicates
Hi! I'll try to explain this the best I can.
I have two files. Let's say the first has City State and Zip and the second has customer records.
City State Zip
Richfield OR 48858
Richfield OR 15448
Richfield OR 88788
AnyCity WA 78998
AnyCity WA 44554
File 2
Customer City State Zip
AnyCus Richfield OR 48858
AnyCus2 AnyCity WA 44554
AnyCus3 AnyCity WA 78998
I would like the results to create one record for each zip in File1 where City and State from file1 = City and State from File2
AnyCus Richfield OR 48858
AnyCus Richfield OR 15448
AnyCus Richfield OR 88788
AnyCus2 AnyCity WA 78998
AnyCus2 AnyCity WA 44554
AnyCus3 AnyCity WA 78998
AnyCus3 AnyCity WA 44554
Anyone have any ideas? I used a find duplicates query to pull all duplicates (file 2) and then I matched the results from that query to the records in File 1. That created a file with one record for each different zip from file 2 but obviously the origional zip codes were repeated for each record. So at this point I would have to go through my results and update the zip codes...this is the logic I came up with but I don't think you can do this with Access/SQL...
WS-Ctr + 1
Put City is WS-City
Count City where WS-City = City
Put Count is WS-CTR3
Set WS-CTR2 = 1
In File2 Go to first recrod where City = File1_City(WS-CTR2)
Set Zip in File2 = Zip from File 3 (WS-CTR2)
Add 1 to WS-CTR2
Go to next record
Return to top.
Is there a way or a stored function to do this? Thanks!"If you are good you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good you will get out of it."

Holy christ on a pony!!
You're thinking WAY to hard...
Suck them both into tables, then:
SELECT DISTINCT customer, city, state zip FROM f1 INNER JOIN f2 ON f1.city = f2.city AND f1.state = f2.state

Hi! I'm 29 years old and from Barcelona, Spain. I was relocated to Sydney in January and I work in the CBD, I currently live in Manly and I would love keep living by the water (either Manly or Bondi).
I'm social, considerate and easy going. I lived abroad before and in shared houses as well. I like to have a healthy lifestyle and being social. I'm a beach person and outside work hours I love to spend time hanging out with friends or exercising outdoors, I'd also like to learn to surf! :)

This review was facilitated by Schoolhouse Review Crew and The Trigger Memory Co.
We're back with another homeschool curriculum review. We're improving multiplication skills with a digital product called Times Tales from The Trigger Memory Co. If you're looking for a quick way to teach the upper multiplication facts, you'll want to check this out!
About Times Tales
Times Tales is a video-based program aimed at making it fun and easy to memorize the upper multiplication facts. It's available on DVD or digital download and it's a clever, mnemonic-based program that easily engages students.
Times Tales uses simple stories to give students, what they call, a "memory peg." These stories lead to quick recall of multiplication facts that are often difficult to master.
We reviewed the digital version, which includes two video files (Part 1 & Part 2) and three printable PDF files. The program offers the following:
- 2 Video Lessons (Covering these multiplication facts: 3×6, 3×7, 3×8, 3×9, 4×6, 4×7, 4×8, 4×9, 6×6, 6×7, 6×8, 6×9, 7×7, 7×8, 7×9, 8×8, 8×9, 9×9)
- Printable Tests
- Printable Crossword Puzzles
- Printable Flaschcards for Multiplication and Division
- Printable Cube Game
According to the website, the total learning time is just one hour and even kids as young as 5 can recall the upper times tables after watching the videos.
Our Times Tales Review
I definitely reccomend this. My son is a very bright student but it's taken quite some time for him to nail down the multiplication facts. I tried EVERYTHING I knew to do and then some. I sure wish I'd found Times Tales a lot sooner.
The mnemonic devices the program uses go a long way toward helping children memorize and recall multiplication facts. They're cute stories that are simple to understand, making recalling them quite easy.
I also like that the program makes the connection between multiplication and division. This was a boost my son needed and we are not struggling with multiplication like we were before.
TRY IT FOR YOURSELF WITH THIS FREE DOWNLOAD OF THE UPPER 9s MULTIPLICATION FACTS.
And we've given it 5 mamas.
[1] It makes mama's life easier. [2] It's kid approved! [3] It delivers what was promised. [4] $19.95 is definitely a reasonable price. [5] The approach is quite unique.
So, go buy it! Click the banner below to see what other Schoolhouse Review Crew members thought. Are you familiar with Times Tales or The Trigger Memory Co.? Let's chat about it in the comments!

In our dynamic, we figured out that reconnect time was critical. So, for example, if we have a poly date, when its over we have a cuddle time for the two of us alone. Sometimes we talk-sometimes we just cuddle. But it helps remind each of us that the time with others hasn't alleviated our bond.
We also agreed that once a week we need a "no kids or other partners conversation" date. Not that those people don't matter-but that date is for romancing each other without discussing kids or other lovers.
The romancing is HUGE. NRE can sweep people away thinking about the new partners. So make sure that you are "woo-ing" her too.
I also suggest identifying your personal love languages (theres a book "the 5 love languages"). It really can simplify so much!
For example, my primary love languages are acts of service and quality time. So if my partner lavishes me with gifts or compliments, that really doesn't reassure me of his love as quickly, easily or completely as if he filled my gas tank and scheduled a time for us to go for a walk together.
For me, taking a walk with me is equal to several dozens of flowers delivered over the course of a week!
On the otherhand, Maca's love language is physical touch. Without hugs, hand holding, sex, cuddling etc-I could waste hours trying to tell him how much I love him. But-if I just make a point of running my hand through his hair when I pass by him, he's in heaven filled with confidence of my love.

The adventures of Rann's earth- based spaceman continued until #102. Knights of the Galaxy, Bert Brandon (agent for Interplanetary Insurance Inc.), Space Cabbie, Star Rovers and Space Ranger were all regular features in this title. Many of the early issues deal with the then contemporary topic of nuclear power or nuclear safety.

Extreme parties and political rents
We study the rent-seeking behaviour of political parties in a proportional representation system, where the final policy choice of the parliament is a weighted average of parties' policy positions, weights being their vote shares. We find that parties' policy preferences and their rent levels are strongly linked. Our main result is that an extreme party chooses a higher rent level than a moderate party, except in some cases of unlikely distributions of parties. An extreme party has more policy influence than a moderate party since it pulls the final policy towards its position more than a moderate party. Hence, a voter is ready to pay more rents to an extreme party in exchange of a greater policy influence. Furthermore, note that the voter does not need to be an extremist to vote for an extreme party. She is acting strategically in order to influence the final policy in her advantage as much as possible. In turn, this strategic behaviour of voters allow more extreme parties to earn higher rent levels.

A few days back we embarked on the first day of our Couch to 5k journey! I felt so nervous before we started..I'm not sure why. I don't feel like I'm a runner. I also think I have this fear of tripping over and falling flat on my face. Not sure why! We have done two runs so far and I am aching all over and absolutely shattered. I'm hoping this running lark pays off...!
So the first week starts off with a 5 minute warm up of brisk walking, then 60 seconds of jogging then 90 seconds of walking. The jogging and walking alternate for 2o minutes, ending with a 5 minute cool down. I thought it would be relatively easy, especially after doing the shred! I guess not.
On the first run it only took a few minutes of running before I was out of breath and struggling. Ian was running way ahead as if he had been running all his life. Why is it that men make exercise look so easy?? He was barely out of breath.
The second run was a better. It was still really hard and I felt like giving up but I powered through it. My heart was pounding and I was literally as red as a beetroot but it was worth it. I've spoken to quite a few bloggers who have already done it and they've said each run gets easier and easier and you will enjoy each one. I'm hoping so! We've decided to do a session of the shred between each run to do a bit of extra weight training. 30 days was a lot but we feel like we could gain a lot more from it by carrying on every now and then.
I really need some proper running trainers so that is on my list as I want to run as safely as I can!
I'll do another update on our Couch to 5k journey soon!

I am quite pleased with the phone and am looking for alternatives to rebooting it or booting it up if the battery dies. Is there any way to boot the OS without holding the power button? The shop wants $70 to replace it, not to mention shipping it away to the central service center and not having it for a week. Also my phone is currently rooted. I'm already looking into ways to wake it up from sleep mode, but I'm worried about if it shuts off and I'm stuck in the lurch. Thank you for your time.

Picture: Prince Charles, Prince Of Wales 'eco-friendly' waxwork unveiling at Madame Tussauds London, England - 23.05.07
British royal Prince Charles has been questioned by police regarding the 1997 car accident which killed his late wife DIANA, Princess Of Wales.
Former Metropolitan Police commissioner LORD STEVENS visited his London residence Clarence House last week (ends09DEC05) to speak to the prince about a letter alleging he had plotted the murder of Diana.
Charles, who finally married his long-term lover CAMILLA, Duchess of Cornwall this year (08APR05), was reportedly accused by Diana of planning to kill her in a car crash.

I don't have time to translate, but the jist of this article is that the commissioner charged with "dismantling" the Franciscans of the Immaculata, Volpi, had a stroke on May 1st and suffered until his death May 5. The Vatican has remained strangely silent over his death.
There are rumors that the pope is seeking to replace the dead Volpi with a Jesuit to continue the unfinished business of the late Commissioner.

mmm coffee
Dear Drive Thru's,
You know what's awesome?....
Driving up to a McD's or Timmy's, saying "I'll have a medium regular coffee please", handing over my dollar fifty, and then instantly receiving that warm cozy yummy cup of coffee. awesome.
Drive thru's, you may be bad for our environment, but I love you very much.
sleep deprived mommy
I know this sounds a little silly...maybe even pathetic. But seriously, in all honesty...I thoroughly enjoy using the drive thru. I thoroughly enjoy the instant gratification of ordering my coffee, and then enjoying it on the road, at the park, while shopping, wherever. Creator of the drive thru...you are a genius. Maybe it's because I have kids that I love you so much. My kids can stay in their car seats and mommy can get her coffee WITHOUT getting out of the car! yay. I can't believe I'm even saying this.... I never even used to like coffee! But mmm.....I do now! And now... I also get to enjoy my coffee using my lovely Coffee Cozy from chubbycheeks! love it.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy coffee at home too. (In fact, I'm drinking one right now. Well, I was 45min ago... but I've been interrupted approx. 4 times while writing this post so my coffee is long gone now. hahaha. That is the life of a mommy...it really is an accomplishment to get any project done without constant interruption! I say this as I'm typing with one hand and a baby in my lap! but alas, another story for another blog).
Back to coffee..... yay for drive thru's!! Can I get an amen!?
(and don't give me any crap about saving my dollar a day and helping a child in Africa. I thoroughly support child sponsorship, my husband and I support two kids, but I still love my coffee!.)
That is all.
Vent Machine
p.s. It has been awhile since my last post. You may be curious about my new baby!!
well...I am happy to report that I gave birth - at home!- to a beautiful little baby girl at the end of September!! (who we will refer to as "B" on this blog) She is beautiful, and we are loving her very much. She did give us a 'run for our money' for the first 4 weeks as she had her days/nights completely mixed up...which means mommy and daddy were on the night shift ALL night and very tired. But, now after diligently working on keeping her awake during the day, and with prayer from our family and friends we are happy to report that she is sleeping better at night. A big blessing indeed!
Here she is...
isn't she cute! :) I think so.

NEW DIGITAL CAMPAIGN: How Many Thanksgiving Dinners Would Trump's Tax Bill Cost Middle Class Families?
After Donald Trump held the annual Turkey pardoning, Bridge Project released a new social media graphic, which is being promoted with a digital ad campaign, showing how many Thanksgiving meals could be purchased with the amount of money middle class families would lose to tax hikes if Senate Republicans pass the Trump tax bill.
Using data from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center's new analysis of the Senate Republican tax plan as well as Thanksgiving dinner pricing information from the American Farm Bureau, Bridge Project determined that, to help cut taxes by $32,000 on average for the wealthiest 1% of earners – and for big business – the Trump-Republican tax plan would raise taxes on most middle class Americans by the cost of over 28 Thanksgiving dinners.
"As families gather all over the country to share Thanksgiving meals together, Donald Trump and Republicans are racing to pass a tax bill that […]Read more after the jump.

So That's Where Jim Keller Went To... Tesla Motors...
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | January 29, 2016 - 05:28 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tesla, tesla motors, amd, Jim Keller, apple
Jim Keller, a huge name in the semiconductor industry for his work at AMD and Apple, recently left AMD before the launch of the Zen architecture. This made us nervous, because when a big name leaves a company before a product launch, it could either be that their work is complete... or they're evacuating before a stink-bomb detonates and the whole room smells like rotten eggs.
It turns out a third option is possible: Elon Musk offers you a job making autonomous vehicles. Jim Keller's job title at Tesla will be Vice President of Autopilot Hardware Engineering. I could see this position being enticing, to say the least, even if you are confident in your previous employer's upcoming product stack. It doesn't mean that AMD's Zen architecture will be either good or bad, but it nullifies the earlier predictions, when Jim Keller left AMD, at least until further notice.
We don't know who approached who, or when.
Another point of note: Tesla Motors currently uses NVIDIA Tegra SoCs in their cars, who are (obviously) competitors of Jim Keller's former employer, AMD. It sounds like Jim Keller is moving into a somewhat different role than he had at AMD and Apple, but it could be interesting if Tesla starts taking chip design in-house, to customize the chip to their specific needs, and take away responsibilities from NVIDIA.
The first time he was at AMD, he was the lead architecture of the Athlon 64 processor, and he co-authored x86-64. When he worked at Apple, he helped design the Apple A4 and A5 processors, which were the first two that Apple created in-house; the first three iPhone processors were Samsung SoCs.
Phoronix Tests Almost a Decade of GPUs

Tagged: nvidia, linux, tesla, fermi, kepler, maxwell
It's nice to see long-term roundups every once in a while. They do not really provide useful information for someone looking to make a purchase, but they show how our industry is changing (or not). In this case, Phoronix tested twenty-seven NVIDIA GeForce cards across four architectures: Tesla, Fermi, Kepler, and Maxwell. In other words, from the GeForce 8 series all the way up to the GTX 980 Ti.
Image Credit: Phoronix
Nine years of advancements in ASIC design, with a doubling time-step of 18 months, should yield a 64-fold improvement. The number of transistors falls short, showing about a 12-fold improvement between the Titan X and the largest first-wave Tesla, although that means nothing for a fabless semiconductor designer. The main reason why I include this figure is to show the actual Moore's Law trend over this time span, but it also highlights the slowdown in process technology.
Performance per watt does depend on NVIDIA though, and the ratio between the GTX 980 Ti and the 8500 GT is about 72:1. While this is slightly better than the target 64:1 ratio, these parts are from very different locations in their respective product stacks. Swapping the 8500 GT for the following year's 9800 GTX, which leads to a comparison between top-of-the-line GPUs of their respective times, and you see a 6.2x improvement in performance per watt versus the GTX 980 Ti. On the other hand, that part was outstanding for its era.
I should note that each of these tests take place on Linux. It might not perfectly reflect the landscape on Windows, but again, it's interesting in its own right.
Tokyo Tech Goes Green with KFC (NVIDIA and Efficiency)
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Systems | November 21, 2013 - 09:47 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, tesla, supercomputing
GPUs are very efficient in terms of operations per watt. Their architecture is best suited for a gigantic bundle of similar calculations (such as a set of operations for each entry of a large blob of data). These are the tasks which also take up the most computation time especially for, not surprisingly, 3D graphics (where you need to do something to every pixel, fragment, vertex, etc.). It is also very relevant for scientific calculations, financial and other "big data" services, weather prediction, and so forth.
Tokyo Tech KFC achieves over 4 GigaFLOPs per watt of power draw from 160 Tesla K20X GPUs in its cluster. That is about 25% more calculations per watt than current leader of the Green500 (CINECA Eurora System in Italy, with 3.208 GFLOPs/W).
One interesting trait: this supercomputer will be cooled by oil immersion. NVIDIA offers passively cooled Tesla cards which, according to my understanding of how this works, suit very well to this fluid system. I am fairly certain that they remove all of the fans before dunking the servers (I figured they would be left on).
By the way, was it intentional to name computers dunked in giant vats of heat-conducting oil, "KFC"?
Intel has done a similar test, which we reported on last September, submerging numerous servers for over a year. Another benefit of being green is that you are not nearly as concerned about air conditioning.
NVIDIA is actually taking it to the practical market with another nice supercomputer win.

NVIDIA Tesla K40: GK110b Gets a Career (and more vRAM)
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | November 18, 2013 - 03:33 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tesla, nvidia, K40, GK110b
The Tesla K20X ruled NVIDIA's headless GPU portfolio for quite some time now. The part is based on the GK110 chip with 192 shader cores disabled, like the GeForce Titan, and achieved 3.9 TeraFLOPs of compute performance (1.31 TeraFLOPs in double precision). Also, like the Titan, the K20X offers 6GB of memory.
The Tesla K40X
So the layout was basically the following: GK104 ruled the gamer market except for the, in hindsight, oddly-positioned GeForce Titan which was basically a Tesla K20X without a few features like error correction (ECC). The Quadro K6000 was the only card to utilize all 2880 CUDA cores.
Then, at the recent G-Sync event, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced the GeForce GTX 780Ti. This card uses the GK110b processor and incorporates all 2880 CUDA cores albeit with reduced double-precision performance (for the 780 Ti, not for GK110b in general). So now we have Quadro and GeForce with the full power Kepler, your move Tesla.
And they did, the Tesla K40 launched this morning and it brought more than just cores.
A brief overview
The GeForce launch was famous for its inclusion of GPU Boost, a feature absent in the Tesla line. It turns out that NVIDIA was paying attention to the feature but wanted to include it in a way that suited data centers. GeForce cards boost based on the status of the card, its temperature or its power draw. This is apparently unsuitable for data centers because they would like every unit operating at a very similar performance. The Tesla K40 has a base clock of 745 MHz but gives the data center two boost clocks that they can manually set: 810 MHz and 875 MHz.
Relative performance benchmarks
The Tesla K40 also doubles the amount of RAM to 12GB. Of course this allows for the GPU to work on larger data sets without streaming in the computation from system memory or worse.
There is currently no public information on pricing for the Tesla K40 but it is available starting today. What we do know are the launch OEM partners: ASUS, Bull, Cray, Dell, Eurotech, HP, IBM, Inspur, SGI, Sugon, Supermicro, and Tyan.
If you are interested in testing out a K40, NVIDIA has remotely hosted clusters that your company can sign up for at the GPU Test Drive website.
NVIDIA's plans for Tegra and Tesla
Subject: General Tech | April 24, 2013 - 01:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Steve Scott, nvidia, HPC, tesla, logan, tegra
The Register had a chance to sit down with Steve Scott, once CTO of Cray and now CTO of NVIDIA's Tesla projects to discuss the future of their add-in cards as well as that of x86 in the server room. They discussed Tegra and why it is not receiving the same amount of attention at NVIDIA as Tegra is, as well as some of the fundamental differences in the chips both currently and going forward. NVIDIA plans to unite GPU and CPU onto both families of chips, likely with a custom interface as opposed to placing them on the same die, though both will continue to be designed for very different functions. A lot of the article focuses on Tegra, its memory bandwidth and most importantly its networking capabilities as it seems NVIDIA is focused on the server room and providing hundreds or thousands of interconnected Tegra processors to compete directly with x86 offerings. Read on for the full interview.
"Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia has been perfectly honest about the fact that the graphics chip maker didn't intend to get into the supercomputing business. Rather, it was founded by a bunch of gamers who wanted better graphics cards to play 3D games. Fast forward two decades, though, and the Nvidia Tesla GPU coprocessor and the CUDA programming environment have taken the supercomputer world by storm."

GTC 2013: Pedraforca Is A Power Efficient ARM + GPU Cluster For Homogeneous (GPU) Workloads
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | March 20, 2013 - 01:47 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tesla, tegra 3, supercomputer, pedraforca, nvidia, GTC 2013, GTC, graphics cards, data centers
There is a lot of talk about heterogeneous computing at GTC, in the sense of adding graphics cards to servers. If you have HPC workloads that can benefit from GPU parallelism, adding GPUs gives you computing performance in less physical space, and using less power, than a CPU only cluster (for equivalent TFLOPS).
However, there was a session at GTC that actually took things to the opposite extreme. Instead of a CPU only cluster or a mixed cluster, Alex Ramirez (leader of Heterogeneous Architectures Group at Barcelona Supercomputing Center) is proposing a homogeneous GPU cluster called Pedraforca.
Pedraforca V2 combines NVIDIA Tesla GPUs with low power ARM processors. Each node is comprised of the following components:
- 1 x Mini-ITX carrier board
1 x Q7 module (which hosts the ARM SoC and memory)
- Current config is one Tegra 3 @ 1.3GHz and 2GB DDR2
- 1 x NVIDIA Tesla K20 accelerator card (1170 GFLOPS)
- 1 x InfiniBand 40Gb/s card (via Mellanox ConnectX-3 slot)
- 1 x 2.5" SSD (SATA 3 MLC, 250GB)
The ARM processor is used solely for booting the system and facilitating GPU communication between nodes. It is not intended to be used for computing. According to Dr. Ramirez, in situations where running code on a CPU would be faster, it would be best to have a small number of Intel Xeon powered nodes to do the CPU-favorable computing, and then offload the parallel workloads to the GPU cluster over the InfiniBand connection (though this is less than ideal, Pedraforca would be most-efficient with data-sets that can be processed solely on the Tesla cards).
While Pedraforca is not necessarily locked to NVIDIA's Tegra hardware, it is currently the only SoC that meets their needs. The system requires the ARM chip to have PCI-E support. The Tegra 3 SoC has four PCI-E lanes, so the carrier board is using two PLX chips to allow the Tesla and InfiniBand cards to both be connected.
The researcher stated that he is also looking forward to using NVIDIA's upcoming Logan processor in the Pedraforca cluster. It will reportedly be possible to upgrade existing Pedraforca clusters with the new chips by replacing the existing (Tegra 3) Q7 module with one that has the Logan SoC when it is released.
Pedraforca V2 has an initial cluster size of 64 nodes. While the speaker was reluctant to provide TFLOPS performance numbers, as it would depend on the workload, with 64 Telsa K20 cards, it should provide respectable performance. The intent of the cluster is to save power costs by using a low power CPU. If your sever kernel and applications can run on GPUs alone, there are noticeable power savings to be had by switching from a ~100W Intel Xeon chip to a lower-power (approximately 2-3W) Tegra 3 processor. If you have a kernel that needs to run on a CPU, it is recommended to run the OS on an Intel server and transfer just the GPU work to the Pedraforca cluster. Each Pedraforca node is reportedly under 300W, with the Tesla card being the majority of that figure. Despite the limitations, and niche nature of the workloads and software necessary to get the full power-saving benefits, Pedraforca is certainly an interesting take on a homogeneous server cluster!
In another session relating to the path to exascale computing, power use in data centers was listed as one of the biggest hurdles to getting to Exaflop-levels of performance, and while Pedraforca is not the answer to Exascale, it should at least be a useful learning experience at wringing the most parallelism out of code and pushing GPGPU to the limits. And that research will help other clusters use the GPUs more efficiently as researchers explore the future of computing.
The Pedraforca project built upon research conducted on Tibidabo, a multi-core ARM CPU cluster, and CARMA (CUDA on ARM development kit) which is a Tegra SoC paired with an NVIDIA Quadro card. The two slides below show CARMA benchmarks and a Tibidabo cluster (click on image for larger version).

GTC 2013: TYAN Launches New HPC Servers Powered by Kepler-based Tesla Cards
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | March 19, 2013 - 06:52 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: GTC 2013, tyan, HPC, servers, tesla, kepler, nvidia
Server platform manufacturer TYAN is showing off several of its latest servers aimed at the high performance computing (HPC) market. The new servers range in size from 2U to 4U chassis and hold up to 8 Kepler-based Tesla accelerator cards. The new product lineup consists of two motherboards and three bare-bones systems. The S7055 and S7056 are the motherboards while the FT77-B7059, TA77-B7061, and FT48-B7055.
The TA77-B7061 is the smallest system, with support for two Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors and four Kepler-based Tesla accelerator cards. The FT48-B7055 has si7056 specifications but is housed in a 4U chassis. Finally, the FT77-B7059 is a 4U system with support for two Intel Xeon E5-2600 processors, and up to eight Tesla accelerator cards. The S7055 supports a maximum of 4 GPUs while the S7056 can support two Tesla cards, though these are bare boards so you will have to supply your own cards, processors, and RAM (of course).
According to TYAN, the new Kepler-based HPC systems will be available in Q2 2013, though there is no word on pricing yet.

Turn half your GTX 690 into a Quadro or Tesla?
Subject: General Tech | March 18, 2013 - 02:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, hack, GTX 690, K5000, K10, quadro, tesla, linux
It will take a bit of work with a soldering iron but Hack a Day has posted an article covering how to mod one of the GPUs on a GTX690 into thinking it is either a Quadro K5000 or Tesla K10. More people will need to apply this mod and test it to confirm that the performance of the GPU actually does match or at least compare to the professional level graphics but the ID string is definitely changed to match one of those two much more expensive GPUs. They also believe that a similar mod could be applied to the new TITAN graphics card as it is electronically similar to the GTX690. Of course, if things go bad during the modification you could kill a $1000 card so do be careful.
"If hardware manufacturers want to keep their firmware crippling a secret, perhaps they shouldn't mess with Linux users? We figure if you're using Linux you're quite a bit more likely than the average Windows user to crack something open and see what's hidden inside. And so we get to the story of how [Gnif] figured out that the NVIDIA GTX690 can be hacked to perform like the Quadro K5000. The thing is, the latter costs nearly $800 more than the former!"

Too good to be true; bad coding versus GPGPU compute power
Subject: General Tech | November 23, 2012 - 01:03 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gpgpu, amd, nvidia, Intel, phi, tesla, firepro, HPC
The skeptics were right to question the huge improvements seen when using GPGPUs in a system for heavy parallel computing tasks. The cards do help a lot but the 100x improvements that have been reported by some companies and universities had more to do with poorly optimized CPU code than with the processing power of GPGPUs. This news comes from someone who you might not expect to burst this particular bubble, Sumit Gupta is the GM of NVIDIA's Tesla team and he might be trying to mitigate any possible disappointment from future customers which have optimized CPU coding and won't see the huge improvements seen by academics and other current customers. The Inquirer does point out a balancing benefit, it is obviously much easier to optimize code in CUDA, OpenCL and other GPGPU languages than it is to code for multicored CPUs.
"Both AMD and Nvidia have been using real-world code examples and projects to promote the performance of their respective GPGPU accelerators for years, but now it seems some of the eye popping figures including speed ups of 100x or 200x were not down to just the computing power of GPGPUs. Sumit Gupta, GM of Nvidia's Tesla business told The INQUIRER that such figures were generally down to starting with unoptimised CPU."

Ever since that time, the St James Society has held dozens of fascinating meetings and their history continues today. We at St Jax are delighted to have renewed their partnership with the St James Society and help to promote its many ongoing events.
St James Writer's Chapel. An independent, non-profit organization, the Writers' Chapel Trust serves to remember, recognize and celebrate the writers of Canada 's past. Each autumn, the Trust installs a bronze plaque honouring an individual writer in our St Jax Writers' Chapel. Established in 2011, the roots of the Writers' Chapel Trust stretch back to an autumn afternoon two years earlier when a small, intimate group gathered at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church to unveil a plaque in honour of John Glassco. This was followed in 2010 with a plaque honouring A.J.M. Smith. In 2011, poet, professor and lawyer, F. R. Scott, was honoured and in 2012, Hugh MacLennan was honoured with a plaque. In 2013, Gwethalyn Graham, author of Earth and High Heaven was honoured and in 2014 a plaque was dedicated to honour Louis Hémon. In 2015, Mavis Gallant was honoured and in 2016, A. M. Klein will have a plaque installed in his honour. We at St Jax are delighted to have renewed their partnership with the St James Writer's Chapel and help to promote its many ongoing events.
- Women Aware. One of Quebec's leading charities in the area of violence against women.

The fog, the mountain and more
Hobart Travel Blog› entry 26 of 61 › view all entries
During winter, here in Hobart, a thick grey fog the locals refer to as Charlie, snakes its way through the valley at the base of Mount Wellington and the surrounding hills, and blankets the northern suburbs. Since the first time I saw the fog, I have wanted to take some photos of it. As I only ever see it when I am on my way to work early in the morning and it doesn't happen every day I have never had the chance until recently. I happened to have my little digital camera in my bag on the car seat next to me on my way to work, and snapped off two shots before I got to work (or had an accident). I have never seen a fog so thick, and the way it is concentrated to the narrow strip of area at the base of the hills is quite spectacular. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the position to find the best vantage point to take photos, but I hope you get an idea.
The other photos, I took on the same day after work, when I couldn't resist the stunningly beautiful calm waters of the Derwent River with its magnificent reflections. I took them all in and around the bay near where I live.

The system informs me that I can not send campaign because I committed an abuse (spam). The list was from my client and he confirmed to me that he had permits for sending mail. I do now because my account is locked, but it was not my fault.
Please contact us at support, and we can review this - we'll need to know specific details about how permission was obtained, how often the list was used, and anything else that could explain why we would receive so many complaints about the campaign.
Thanks for your help.
