North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

Post subject: 64 bit computing performance
I am thinking of getting a new computer and wondered about the Athlon64.
How much difference does a 64 bit processor really make for desktop computing? Will there be a performance gain just through using a kernel compiled for the processor, or do all apps need to be recompiled too for the main benefits?
Does anyone have any stats on the subject?

I expect to be corrected on this!
As I understand it, the big difference is that the 64 bit processor gets code/data in 64 bit words or can. The problem is that 32 bit apps have been compiled as 32 bit words. The result can be a slowing down of performance for 32 bit apps on a 64 bit machine. I've read that even when compiled for a 64 bit machine, they can still slow down.
It seems that the big difference is more the amount of RAM that can be addressed, so making them ideal for big database servers which need fast response so keep much of the data in RAM.
I'm thinking of upgrading myself, but I'm more concerned to get 1GB memory rather than a heftier processor.

If you have a reasonably fast 32-bit processor, plenty of RAM and fast SATA hard drives, then you probably won't notice much difference in day-to-day computing - after all processor speed is not the main bottle-neck slowing your system.
Mostly, I have found compiling software to be somewhat quicker, and encoding oggs is so fast if you blink you miss it. Otherwise I haven't noticed anything outstanding.

I work for a company with a large number of Opterons running RH9, RHEL 3 32-Bit, RHEL 3 64-Bit and RHEL 4 64-Bit. Running your 64-Bit OS and 32-Bit Apps won't give you a speed decrease due to the nature of the AMD x86_64 and it natively being able to run 32-Bit instructions. In fact you might get a speed increase due to the way it handles RAM - but I'm talking >2Gb RAM compared to 32-Bit memory addressing.
What your Athlon64 will give you will be a future for your desktop. It will run all what you need it to run now and the bonus of running the 64-Bit compiled apps when you need to. The 64-Bit compiled programs will give you a speed boost due to the fact that 64-Bits can be shoved through your clock cycles at a time as opposed to 32-Bits. That's more data transfer per click.

But for now I'd say tread wearily. Yes the ram is the area most improved, my desktop has Dual channel modules and they are so bloody fast! BUT! Please note this is not well typed, grammar sucks and i make a few assumptions about the reader but i am just so pissed off (RANT STARTS HERE BE WARNED)the software is a major letdown, I mean the OS overall. I definately get the impression I am running 32bit software 'Hacked' to fit the Athlon 64. Hmmm it's a shame but just today I have had the thought Intel and the Itanium was the correct route!
Qualification? well I have to say yes the ath 64 has backwards compatability, but, *that word again* I am looking to the future. 'I' don't want legacy support, I 'want' 64bit apps for my 64bit chips, whereas what i get now are half hearted efforts. It seems to me the marketing and ignorance/conservatism of customers pulled intel into line. I never thought I'd say this but *again!* Intel of all companies were (between AMD and themselves) the mavericks in 64bit computing not AMD. Now please note this is not from my point of view flaming, just ironic, because I hate Intel with a passion, yet they at least were willing to shrug of the 'old'; AMD have pushed a presently overrated chip which when one installs 64 bit *cough* linux on it, it still ends up running on a mish mash of 32 bit compatability libs. What is the bloody point? If the AMD platform is so great why the *expletive* do you still have developers and vendors churning out half baked 64 bit distros? Because AMD made it possible that's why. Bastards, I feel so let down the promised future just hasn't arrived. Now some may say well these are teething problems. What?! After several years! Heck Intel were slated for coming to market a little early, i refer you to early itaniums *mutter* but they have gotten better. AMD meanwhile after screwing the market in their favour by taking the whole pie *backwards compatability* are now looking to dual core? Same chips just two cores, WTF? But what of the teething problems? In AMD speak...Expletive you ya mug! And so the marketing department marches on.
Oh and yes I do have both Itanium and AMD 64, but Ath 64's are overhyped Athlon XP's atm largely because as I state above the developers and vendors are taking advantage of the backwards bit and being lazy gits. Why write a native 64bit distro when you can hack 32bit to fit? It was on the assumption that i'd be able to use a 64bit distro that I bought a suite of such machines. At first they seemed great until I delved under the bonnet and saw so much non 64bit software in there. really my only overall gain has been Ram and lots of it. That's it the sum value of my opinion on "why you should buy an Athlon 64?" The larger ram, nothing else.
I bought one itanium machine early on and though i was impressed I wasn't pleased, but with the AMD64 i was delighted *I accepted the hype, I mean it is AMD we a talking about, i trusted them* now I'm just pissed.
Maybe as others have stated your machine, if you buy AMD 64 now will have a 'future' but to be honest why not just wait till then? Beef up what you have now and wait.
And further to the above I took 32bit versions of popular distros and 64 bit versions installing both on same Ath 64's, the 32 bit versions were actually faster to install and speedier in that they responded promptly, whereas the 64bit versions were'nt quite sure what to do when asked to fire up an app. Although 64bit apps, and not all apps in a 64bit distro are 64bit, were faster in performance generally, but I do think the ram is the hub of it all. Drives are irrelevant for me as I always use striped raid so they are fast regardless.
hope the above makes sense I'm calmer now, but still gonna whack the first AMD ceo i see!

Intel were not mavericks, they did not have the first 64bit CPU at all. The spec was around in 1991, Alphas were out 92, SPARC was around 93, SGI were around 92/93, the IBM PowerPC etc Intel released Itanium in 2001, 10 years after the first, they were seariously late and over priced and under performed.
The Opteron / Athlon64 is a total success, it was what the mass market wanted, its not an overhyped XP. It's an evolutionary core, with memory controller, north bridge, built into the chip, dual core designed from the outset, cheap (relatively), extremely fast clock for clock compared to others, it still outperforms others in 32bit mode. The Opterons use 55watts, the design is very efficient.
An Athlon64-3200 is faster than an XP3200, runs cooler and can take advantage of the increased memory bandwidth if used with 64-bit apps. Look at any database benchmark and performance is vastly improved in 64-bit mode. A 32bit system is mostly limited to 4GB of RAM, which is not that much, so again 64-bit is needed in so many areas.
It depends on what your doing as to how much benefit your going to get.
Why are you narked with the idea of dual cores, I am really looking forward to these, the AthlonX2's sound great, better performance yet same power usage. Dual cores are one area that should help everyone with using their PC's, again when the software they are using supports it.
AMD have produced a fantastic core in the shape of the Athlon64, and they've managed to market it perfecftly, it works in a huge number of situations. The Opteron make great SMP servers, the Athlon64 is a great home user / desktop PC, the FX is a gamers dream, the Turion offers great performance for very low wattage. I can't see any problems with their range, something for everyone from essentially the same product. Its no different from VW using the Golf platform in other series and other makes.
AMD have done a great job, especially considering the size of the company in comparison to Intel.
64-bit was pitched to the mass market as a marketing ploy, the USP, killer app etc etc But I don't feel conned, I knew it didn't mean that much to me as a home user (database development at work a different story), but the core excels in so many areas that it doesn't matter that KDE doesn't load in 1 second.
In most benchmarks my Athlon64-3200 is nearly twice as fast as my XP1600, yet only 600MHZ seperates the two chips, the Athlon64 is a design classic in the making and theres a couple of years mileage in it for sure.
I think, therefore I compile

"Intel were not mavericks, they did not have the first 64bit CPU at all."
You misunderstood my point, between the two, not the rest. Both are the two most prevalent home CPU producers such is why i focus on them, yes i grant IBM are way ahead. Sorry you must forgive my closed world view, I only buy from these two or at least have done since leaving Uni and it's bloody Mac's behind. Oh and the reason I think them "mavericks" is because they took us a large leap away from legacy tech, though as i said the market pulled em into line. My personal view of itanium/AMD 64 is similar to my view on the VHS/betamax, it was economics which gave the vhs prominence not it's tech. Likewise, this one should be clear, Windows/OSS, hmmmmm it's not the tech which got windows onn the desktop by default, it's the marketing and now so many millions believe they wanted windows, indeed the marketing and FUD is crucial, for instance my AMD 64 laptop was obviously prebuilt, so I asked the saleswoman, "can I get a discount for not having windows?" Errrr we can't sell you the laptop without windows was the answer. Apparently she also couldn't understand why i didn't want a 32bit os for my 64bit machine, yet it's because it was 64bit that i was buying it! *ah never mind I'm beginning to rant again* I'm just so angry with the fact AMD chruned out 64bit chips claiming the operating systems were in place or would be by launch yet this is not the case afterall luike I note elsewhere even suse which was touted as 64bit ready and used to demonstrate machines is still littered with 32bit, this is why I think Intel were mavericks, they made this use of i386 nigh on impossible by starting afresh. Okay this was a little ahead of the market but it makes sense to me in that it ensures or makes a good stab at it anyway, of 'making' 64bit, 64bit only. Whereas AMD allowed 32bit to live on through backwards compatability.
"The Opteron / Athlon64 is a total success, it was what the mass market wanted, its not an overhyped XP"
Really? No Kidding, I noted the OS as perhaps and arguably my main quibble.
I am sick of promises, promises, promises, that my install platters are for a 64bit os. Only as i said to find them littered with 32bit apps and libs. I mean why the hell need a 64bit os rely on i386 software? Should I really be expected to tolerate this given I bought the discs because they were 64bit? You wouldn't buy a Rolls Royce and be best pleased if you found it had the engine of a mini, would you?
"An Athlon64-3200 is faster than an XP3200"
Well that's what i thought, note here I believe it is, or should be *basic maths for goodness sake* but consider this, Mandy, pig slow for 64bit and can't handle much of the software, Centos in 32bit version takes 19 minutes to do a complete install, 64bit version of same release takes 112 minutes, I kid you not same machine same hardware etc. You telling me Kubuntu is 64bit ready? or Fedora, Suse et al? I have found they can't support the newer features introduced by the AMD 64 and accompanying hardware Oh and not to mention they run 'slower' in 64bit than 32 this applies from install to desktop/server use. So sorry on that count as far as I'm concerned, and i have a AMD 64 laptop, AMD 64 Desktop and dual opteron, the performance is not a leap, rather a tentative step. Accordingly from experience and bitter dissapointment I find the Ath 64 to be a hyped XP. Hyped in that it promises but does not deliver. Which as I pointed out is a shame because I dearly want AMD to do well, no really, I have thought them marvellous since I got my first k6 running at a woeful 150Mhz and thought *wow*.
"Why are you narked with the idea of dual cores, I am really looking forward to these, the AthlonX2's sound great, better performance yet same power usage. Dual cores are one area that should help everyone with using their PC's, again when the software they are using supports it."
That's the rub of it Nordle, "when the software they are using supports it" at present I find no adequate os to consistently support the AMD 64 platform as is. There is fault with all those noted above. Though one thing I must add I do find certain kernels to be awful and exacberate matters. Why? Well probably because as another topic of discussion led to the conclusion that vendors cherry pick the kernel modules! *boggle* Fedora being my most hated for it, with Mandy coming close, though it has a different take on it, by including everything bar the kitchen sink and it errrrr not working! *damn*
So moving to dual core won't be a blessing as the OS *even Windows* just ain't cutting the mustard, they can't support the technology already ushered in by AMD and the attendant potential, so what chance of working dual core?
" AMD have done a great job, especially considering the size of the company in comparison to Intel."
Partially why i want them to do well, as I'm not happy about corporations, though largely because liek i said above my first AMD was a k6 150 and it was notably more capable the intel's offerings.
"64-bit was pitched to the mass market as a marketing ploy, the USP, killer app etc etc"
So it wasn't? " what the mass market wanted" you don't need to market on hype what people are asking for it's an open market, so yes AMD are guilty of a hard sell, and the buyers are suckers, me included I guess.
As it happens I agree the Ath 64 is an advance and does *theoretically excel* but the software doesn't. I too have ran benchmarks in 32/64 bit and each and every time it's only on ram that the 64bit wins. So yeah it may be cooler but it ain't much further ahead. The Itanium I have, is an early model and like I said it wasn't good, but then intel managed to pull their finger out and get some adequate support in place so it picked up. So far AMD's flagship just ain't cruising! Why? because the software simply isn't in place and because as I implied it allows for compatability, which both developers and vendors equate with laziness, re i386 etc *grrrr* Yes I do feel conned i wanted 64bit not 32bit and then some ie hyped XP. So again i would say wait for the market to mature, oh and at risk of repeating myself if the market had demanded it why the heck do we have to wait for it to mature before it works? I do believe AMD sold on promises, afterall consider demonstrations of Ath 64's were running on linus anmely suse yet I personally find suse to be unable to fully support the tech, how tweaked were those boxes i wonder. Come on pull the other one it has bells
Oh one thing as I finish this, I am actually looking into an IBM machine on the power platform, at least i'll get reliable multi core, *multi core in a dual cpu box drooooool* and of course reliable cpu and hardware support.

OK, so you're feeling let down because most of the apps you run are still 32-bit.
Well, there is a solution - put Gentoo on your shiny new AMD64 box. That way all your apps are compiled in 64-bit mode and you should be able to get the most out of your hardware...
Hope this helps,

I will indeed look into Gentoo, and kudos to you for reading my long grumble!
I'll post back no doubt *fingers crossed i'll be raving about gentoo!* Oh but it will be a while as I'm switching ISP's and it may take a few weeks, apparently it takes upto 30 days to switch off my current ISP and a further ten to switch on my new one *boggle* No doubt I'll be complaining about that too LOL.
Anyways take care all.
regards Zara...
Oh I'm changing ISP because apparently near constant downloading is frowned upon as being "beyond fair and reasonable use"! But I'm paying for unlimited it's not my fault I just can't stop finding operating systems and software to download. And yes I am concentious in that I help seed legal torrents, again this is frowned upon. I really don't see the problem as I'm the only one in my street with broadband so who the heck am I affecting? *ack i'm ranting again!*

Good grief Nelz you never miss the mark! You really are the creme de la creme, I wish I had the job of finding and trying new software! Anyways it's on order as usual and Lord help the newsagent if they can't get it, *i'll be complaining about that too!*
Oh it's something I'm gonna be reliant upon because of ISP change I noted above.

Howdy firefox,
I am thinking of getting a new computer and wondered about the Athlon64.
How much difference does a 64 bit processor really make for desktop computing? Will there be a performance gain just through using a kernel compiled for the processor, or do all apps need to be recompiled too for the main benefits?
Basically all apps, but as mentioned above, 32 bit compatability is assured, so there is no problem running existing apps. In a 32 bit system it will probably be seen as an i686.
You could apply athlon specific switches if you like -mcpu=athlon -march=athlom -mmx -msse etc.
But info gcc will give be able to give a better description of options than i could, and you'll find the kind of flag range thats's available via /proc/cpuinfo.
Does anyone have any stats on the subject?
have heaps of archived reviews on lots of related topics,
for one, but it would probably be better to just search around the site, as they have a lot of stuff archived.
The general drift i get though is, that the Athlon64 3000+ will out do the XP 3200+ by app 80 %, and also do the P4 at around 20 to 25%, all at half the clock too !.
And as mentioned above, you have a future. Go for Socket 939 not the 754.
I just put in a Athlon64 3000+ and am extremely happy with it. But then thats to be expected, as i was coming from a 200mmx i586 ... like, any bigger hamster would be great in that case
Ignore zarathustra's rant on the availability of 64 apps and it being all AMD's fault because of it maintaining 32 bit compatability
, (or maybe it was the shop girls fault) ... thats just a load of mad rubbish
Go for it, over here in Aus, at least, it is the best buy in the processor market at the moment
You don't get any real cache increases untill 4000+ (around that mark), and they don't look cheap.
-:- If the system is the answer, then the question
must have been really stupid -:-

when one installs 64 bit *cough* linux on it, it still ends up running on a mish mash of 32 bit compatability libs.
Trust me, 64bit gentoo will put that one to bed, You notice the diffrence - alot.
heh you think the 64bit support on *nix is bad, should try 64bit windows...... at least the drivers we have work!

The expression what was once old is new again certainly applies to Stamas Yachts. As the oldest family-owned boat company in the United States, it is credited with innovations that are industry standards today. Stamas pioneered the use of fiberglass in hulls and liners, developed self-bailing cockpits, added foam flotation and incorporated livewells into its designs. Its boats have always had a reputation for solid, quality construction and seaworthiness.
That tradition continues. Stamas still builds rugged fishing boats at its plant in Tarpon Springs, Florida, but it recently adopted a new marketing strategy. By selling though their factory showroom, located in St. Petersburg, Florida, a big discount can be passed on to buyers. The 317 Tarpon is the first model introduced under this program.
I almost gave a wolf whistle walking down the dock the day of my test. The 317's Imron sapphire-blue hull was that striking and gave the boat a fresh, modern look. Several other hull colors are also available. The boat appeared to be much larger than its actual size, and the clean layout and roominess were noteworthy. So was the performance, as I soon discovered.
Customer preference determines the engine choice: Our test boat came rigged with a pair of 250 hp Mercury Verados. Those four-stroke ponies produced a top speed of 50 miles per hour. A more economical cruising pace of 4,500 rpm pegged the GPS at 38.8 miles per hour, with a fuel burn of only 27.2 gallons per hour. The boat is responsive and easy to handle, appreciable traits for its size. The slightly rounded stern has a variable deadrise going from 18 to 20 degrees. This feature, combined with the aggressive bow entry, gives the Tarpon a soft, sure ride. We punched through passing boat wakes without hesitation. It's always comforting to have that much glass under your feet when encountering rough conditions offshore.

Preparing for Taxes
Times When It Pays to Get Professional Help
Software and online services makes doing your own taxes easier than ever, but in some cases a little help is still a smart move. Here are a few instances where getting professional help could not only help you save on your taxes but also avoid potential problems:
- You receive rental income.
- You are self-employed.
- You report gains and losses on investments especially if you made a variety of investments.
- You sold your home in a "short sale" transaction, meaning you sold the home for less than the amount of the mortgage you owed.
In these cases, saving a little on tax preparation fees may end up costing you a lot more.

101 Best-Written TV Series
May 16, 2012
From its beginnings in the 1940s through present day, American television has been shaped by the words and stories of writers. In recognition of the role of writing in sustaining this extraordinary medium, the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) are launching 101 Best Written TV Series, the WGA's list of outstanding television writing. Writers will be able to vote for their choices beginning on May 15, and results will be announced in the fall.
The "101 TV" list will celebrate the craft of television writing over seven decades and follows the WGA's 101 Greatest Screenplays list announced in 2006. In casting their votes for "best written," Guild members will have a broad and dynamic field to choose from – any series that aired from the early years of television through the present, on broadcast, basic or pay cable.

A Cook County judge ruled Gov. Pat Quinn's maneuver to withhold Illinois lawmakers' pay over pensions unconstitutional and said their salaries must be reinstated.
Judge Neil Cohen ordered Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka to pay them immediately - with interest.
The governor used his line-item veto to cut the money used to pay legislators' salaries from the state budget in July, when the General Assembly failed to agree on a plan to solve Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension crisis. It's the worst in the nation.
House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton sued to get their salaries back soon afterward, saying that Quinn's actions were unconstitutional and violated the state's separation of powers. They asked a judge to order paychecks be issued. Quinn called the suit premature.
Judge Cohen issued his eight-page decision in the lawsuit Thursday afternoon, writing that the Illinois constitution explicitly states lawmakers' pay cannot be changed during their term of service.
"(The) Illinois Constitution grants the governor authority to reduce items of appropriation," Cohen wrote. "The governor cannot, however, exercise his authority in a manner which violates another constitutional provision."
Illinois lawmakers have already missed two paychecks and were set to miss a third next week.
Quinn's office didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Last week, Cohen heard arguments in court where Madigan and Cullerton's attorney, Richard Prendergast, called Quinn's veto "an unprecedented attempt" to fulfill his goals through coercion.
Quinn has said that if legislators want to be paid, they could return to Springfield and vote to override the veto - a move Quinn has acknowledged could be unpopular with voters.

Ask a pilot what keeps an airplane in the sky and he'll most likely talk about the forces of lift, thrust, gravity and drag; power-to-weight ratios; and possibly "airfoils"-the word used to describe the wings' shape. Or maybe he'll answer simply, "Your credit card." Either way, it's not much comfort when you're eight miles above terra firma with no visible means of support.

Poured into what looked like a hybrid between a teku and a tulip glass, at Strangelove's, Philly.
A- Pale golden yellow haze of a body, with a light, nearly wispy, white head. Well retained. Beautifully showcased in the glass.
S- Yeasty up front. A bit of booze aroma, but the distinct Belgian spiciness and subtle citrus notes overcome.
T- A light sweetness comes out with yeast and spice. Tangy light fruit character as well.
M- Light body, with a tangy crisp finish. Pleasant.
O- This is a good beer. It's got great characteristics, but as far as Russian River goes for me so far, nothing has stuck out much. The big rare brews they have aren't common in my area, so maybe that's why I'm missing the hype of RR.

Batch #072.Poured into a tulip glass a hazy lemon yellow with a large blooming white head that settled slowly into a frothy mass,aromas of pithy lemon hops,alcohol,and light yeasty spice.Flavors are citric and somewhat medicinal hop flavors up front on the palate,light yeasty phenols actuall mix well with the hop profile wich makes for a well rounded palate.A great beer for the style wich I expected from RR,somewhat refreshing even with a higher ABV.

Appearance The body of this beer belongs on an alien. Its a glowing neon orange in color and very hazy. The head was modest.
Smell The coriander is huge at the nose. The yeast is nice and malty. The spices are all over the map. Theres some light orange and tangerine along with some peach. The hops are ultra funky. In other words, a typical RR offering.
Taste The flavors are much smoother than the smell. There is some light alcohol that I didnt pick up in the nose, but otherwise it follows the bouquet as you drink it down.
Mouthfeel This one lacked the good carbonation of an authentic BSPA, but that may have just been the bottle. There was some noticeable dryness to this medium-bodied ale and the flavors really melded together as it warmed.
Drinkable This was a very drinkable BSPA that delivered on all the usual requirements.

On tap at Lanesplitter in Berkeley CA. Very Reminiscent of La Chouffe.
Pours a hazed golden pineapple, rather far from limpid. Head is white, bubbly, and very Belgian. It rises and falls with each lift of the glass. Body bubbles aggressively, ebulliently even.
Aroma consists of ripe Jamaican sugar bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, Munich malts, and citric hops. Nose sharp and sweet.
Taste is spicy citrus hops, banana ice cream, bubblegum, and earth. Balance is decent but not flawless.
Mouthfeel is light and breakneck. Zesty and spicy, it hits your cheeks with a zinger of strength and sweet and sour fruit. Not bad.
Drinkability is decent. Finish is crisp, clean, and dry lending to higher drinkability.

Thanks for Kevin to bringing me a few of these on his recent West Coast trip. Dated September 2012, a few months away from it's first birthday. It pours a golden honeycomb color and is almost 100% opaque. It's got a big head, the whitest of the white with thin, fine bubbles; it's super creamy and conjures up even larger when the glass is agitated. Super solid looking for a Belgian pale.
Belgian yeast abound, wall to wall, erring towards the slightly sweet banana side of things, with lighter hints of clove and a soft underbelly full of bubblegum. It's pretty "spicy" on the nostrils, though, with some white pepper in the background and a bit of alcoholic phenol notes that show up every now and then. Some slightly tart pear enters during the outro as well - quite a nice display of Belgian yeast, especially for an American-crafted brew.
As the aroma would indicate, some slightly-rotten banana cream is abundant in the flavor from the very first sip. Each pile of banana is follow up quickly with a sharp hint of spices; coriander, clove, orange zest, white pepper; spicy overall, yet pretty mild and refined in the big picture. I'm now struggling to decide whether it's more sweet or more spicy, and perhaps that's because it's such a perfectly even split.
It's certainly a very yeasty brew, as most Belgian pales should be. The backdrop contains thick mounds of buttery bread covered in a layer of super-duper, cheesy and musty funk. The finish is very bready and cellar-y with a dry finishing funk that obliterates any sweetness that's made it this far on your palate. It's medium bodied, though it feels a bit thicker, possibly from the heavy yeast. Crispy, nearly bubbly carbonation.
The first of the "non-sour" ales that I've tried from Russian River's line of Belgian style beers, and I'm mildly impressed. There are certainly some better, authentic Belgian pales out there... Then again, I'd also choose Damnation over many other authentic Belgian pales, too. One of the best things about the brew is the somewhat low price point... 4-5$ a bottle isn't bad for this tasty brew.

Reviewed from notes on 9-17-10. Many thanks to zoso1967 for schlepping the bottle back from PA many moons ago. I shared this bad boy with TCGoalie and his fiance.
A: The color is a pure golden-yellow, with a white, half finger head. This head retained on top of the beer body for the duration of my sipping.
S: Aromas of crisp Granny Smith apple, pear, peach, and a distinct funky Belgian yeast float from my oversized wine glass into my nostrils. I also smell some light clove and banana aromas.
T: A tasty clove spice is backed by sweet pear, Granny Smith apple, and honey flavors. That funky yeast complements all of these flavors well. A crisp, acidic, cidery bite ends each sip and dries off my palate.
M: Damnation has a sparkly tingle on my palate, with a light to medium bodied, spicy feel on my tongue.
D: This beer was nicely drinkable - very light, crisp, and refreshing. This is a perfect example of a straight up 4 beer. Good, but nothing about about it really stood out as remarkable.

This was an incredible beer. It poured a pale orangy-golden color with little head. The smell was fantastic, a variety of fruity and yeasty odors, with strong citrus tones. The taste followed through on the smell, orange and banana comes to mind, although it was hard to pull out one specific taste- everything was well-balanced. If I had to pull a phrase out of my head really quickly to describe this beer, I'd have to say "juicy wheat." I guess by that I mean that the slight fruity taste adds a more robust flavor to its wheaty yeast taste, kind of like biting into an apple and getting that juicy, tart kick. It has a smooth mouthfeel and its drinkibility lends itself more to sipping than gulping. This is one to savor or to break out for tastings.
This beer also has serious dregs- the bottom was yeast city- a plus for dregheads!

Had this one on tap at O'Briens and what an amazing beer this was. It poured a nice medium gold color with a little lace that stuck to my glass all the way down. The smell was quite spicy with a clove scent as well. The taste was wonderful. Bananna, yeast and a slight peppery flavor were quite dominant. This beer reminded me of a very strong hefeweizen. Very drinkable indeed, try it if you see it.

A: an opaque golden yellow, with a thin head and visible carbonation.
S: hints of light fruits, bananas, apricots, wheat.
T: a tasteless sizzle until the swallow when hints of spices and wheat are evident, somewhat underwhelming.
MF/D: highly carbonated that quickly dissipates, could drink as a session beer... too bad its not available in the midwest. hard to believe its 7.75%.

Got home from work and decided I might as well pop this one open. Batch 002. A nice loud pop with wisps of white smoke preempt the goldenrod yellow pour into my SN tulip that produces a light airy two finger head of bone white foam. Aromas of crisp grainy maltiness melds with banana bread, hints of clove and pepper. A bit of fresh apple and pear comes through as well with an underlying earthy, spicy yeast. Fresh and vibrant.
The initial sip brings a light lemony citrus pale malt background that dances across the palate. Fresh peeled bananas mesh with apples and pears...nice and fruity. Soft spicy background with hints of cloves and a dash of pepper. Creamy throughout and well balanced. Nothing seems out of place here..a harmonious balance of flavors. Finishes with earthy yeast spiciness to clean off the palate.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy with a well placed carbonation that does not overdo it. A truly satisfying, fruity Belgian golden ale. I'm glad this came in a 750ml bottle as I am struggling not to gulp it down. Another yummy creation from Russian River. Thanks to wezil for the opportunity...now I must go buy more!

Courtesy of Chris at Ebenezer's Pub. This was a 750ml bottle, Batch 020, poured into a tulip glass. Gold color with a medium sized head and a little lacing. A fruity aroma, mainly banana. Much more interesting taste. Banana, pear, and a citrus tang with some warming spice coming in later. Fairly substantial for a 7% ABV. This is a very good beer.

Poured from a 375 ml corked bottle into a brandy snifter.
The cork was eager to pop as soon as I removed the cage. I had to hold it back until I was ready. I let the cork ease out on its own. Loud pop but no overflow.
A - Hazy golden appearance, OK pale foamy head that didn't last very long with minimal lacing.
S - Sweet pleasant spiciness.
T - Begs to be sipped. True to the Belgian style. Very sweet, spicy, effervescent, light, belying the noble ABV.
M - The feel is very pleasant in the mouth and the aftertaste is very pleasant.
D - This is the quintessential sipping beer.
Poured the remaining beer into the snifter - yeast and all and enjoyed it to the last drop - and yeast cell. Nothing goes to waste.

3.85/5 rDev -6.6%
very light straw color with a good amount of visible carbonation. snow white head that settled quickly, but the bubbles are accumulating and hanging out around the edges.
I poured with reckless abandon, so the yeast is fully mixed in. Gonna be a farty morning.
Notes of pale malt, clove, wood, and banana on the nose. very nice.
Tasty. Much like the smell, it's a bundle of flavors. The cedar really stands out.
Crisp, astringent mouthfeel. slight lingering yeasty aftertaste. pretty easy drinking though. especially for 7.5% abv.
Not quite as good as consecration or temptation in my opinion, but still a tasty, interesting brew.
And I'll also add that while people seem to be going nuts over sofie and matilda from goose island, damnation has been around and is just as good of an example of the style.

Mediastinoscopy with biopsy
is a procedure in which a lighted instrument (mediastinoscope) is inserted in the space in the chest between the lungs (mediastinum), and tissue is taken (biopsy) from any unusual growth or lymph nodes.
This procedure is done in the hospital. You will be given general anesthesia
so that you are asleep and do not feel any pain. A tube (endotracheal tube) is placed in your nose or mouth to help you breathe.
A small surgical cut is made in the neck. A device called a mediastinoscope is inserted through this cut and gently passed into the mid-part of the chest.
Tissue samples are taken of the lymph nodes around the airways. The scope is then removed and the surgical cut is closed with stitches.
A chest x-ray is usually taken at the end of the procedure.
The procedure usually takes 60 - 90 minutes.
You must sign an informed consent form. You will not be able to have food or fluid for 8 hours before the test.
You will be asleep during the procedure. There will be some tenderness at the site of the procedure afterward. You may have a sore throat after the procedure.
Most patients are released from the hospital the next morning.
The results of the biopsy are usually ready in 5 - 7 days.
This procedure is done to look at and then biopsy lymph nodes or any other abnormal growths in the front part of the mediastinum, near your chest wall.
Biopsies of lymph node tissues are normal and do not show signs of cancer or infection.
Abnormal findings may indicate:
There is a risk of puncturing the esophagus, trachea, or blood vessels. In some circumstances, this can lead to potentially fatal bleeding.

Re: Happy Birthday FarmallCub.Com!
Thank You Dennis for all this forum means to a newbie. I enjoyed my first fest at the Birthday bash. Thank You to all the guys who worked on my cub. I was very impressed with the "real" friendships made. Kathleen and I felt really welcomed just like family as soon as we unloaded.
Re: Happy Birthday FarmallCub.Com!
At first I was just looking for help in getting cubs running properly. Now because of this site I have become a cub-aholic. Are there any support groups for this type of addiction? I use to never touch the computer. Now my wife claims I am spending to much time on it.
Re: Happy Birthday FarmallCub.Com!
Thank you, Dennis, for your foresight, creativity and the energy in creating this wonderfully helpful and friendly website. It has opened up an entirely new world for me and my family. It is, indeed, a gathering place of kindred souls. Thanks again.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
The devastation in north Alabama has been unimaginable. In Madison County alone, 239 homes were destroyed by Wednesday's deadly tornadoes.
In the entire state, 249 people have been confirmed dead. The following counties are reporting deaths:
Two Alabama counties have been added to those declared eligible for disaster assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The Alabama counties added Friday to the federal disaster declaration were Sumter and Marengo.
Counties previously designated disaster areas after Wednesday's severe storms were Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jefferson, Lawrence, Marshall, Tuscaloosa and Walker.
The disaster declaration makes homeowners and renters eligible for assistance, including grants to help pay for temporary housing, home repairs and other disaster-related expenses. Low-interest loans are available from the U.S. Small Business Administration to cover residential and business losses not fully covered by insurance.
For information about assistance available, residents of the designated counties may call 1-800-621-3362. Related Stories:

Andruw Jones arrested Christmas morning
Longtime Brave charged with battery in domestic dispute outside Atlanta
Andruw Jones was arrested Christmas morning and charged with battery, according to the Associated Press. The arrest took place outside of Atlanta.
The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department arrested Jones, 35, after responding to a reported domestic dispute call between Jones and his wife in Duluth, Ga. According to numerous media reports citing the Gwinnett County Detention Center records, Jones was released on $2,400 bond by 11 a.m., after spending seven hours in jail.
Jones, a 17-year veteran, spent 12 years with the Braves. He won 10 Gold Glove Awards, made five All-Star Game appearances and hit 368 home runs with Atlanta. The right-handed hitting outfielder played one season with the Dodgers, one season with the White Sox and two with the Yankees, compiling 434 career homers before signing this offseason with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan's Pacific League.

A thyroid scan is a nuclear medicine test
that uses a radioactive iodine tracer to examine the structure and function of the thyroid gland.
Scan - thyroid; Radioactive iodine uptake and scan test - thyroid; Nuclear scan - thyroid
You will be given a pill that contains radioactive iodine, and then you will wait as the iodine collects in the thyroid. The first scan is usually done 4 - 6 hours after you take the iodine pill. Another scan may be taken 24 hours later.
During the scan, you will lie on your back on a movable table with your neck and chest under the scanner. The scanner detects the location and intensity of the rays given off by the radioactive material.
You must lie still to let the scanner get a clear image. A computer displays images of the thyroid gland.
Other scans use a substance called technetium instead of radioactive iodine.
You must sign a consent form. You may be told not to eat after midnight the night before the exam.
Tell your health care provider if you are taking any medicines that may need to be adjusted. These may include thyroid medication and anything with iodine in it. Remove jewelry, dentures, or other metals, because they may interfere with the image.
Some patients find it uncomfortable to stay still during the test.
This test is done to:
The thyroid appears the correct size, shape, and in the proper location. It appears an even gray color on the computer image.
A thyroid that is enlarged or pushed off to one side could be a sign of a tumor
Nodules will absorb more or less iodine and will look darker or lighter on the scan (usually lighter if there is a tumor). If part of the thyroid appears lighter, it could be a thyroid problem.
The computer will also show the percentage of iodine that has collected in your thyroid gland. If your gland collects too much or too little of the radiotracer, this can be due to an underactive
or overactive
thyroid gland.
All radiation has possible side effects. There is a very small amount of radiation in the tracer swallowed during this test. Women who are nursing or pregnant should discuss the risks to the fetus or infant with their health care providers before taking this test.
The health care provider will usually consider the concerns regarding radiation side effects when the test is ordered, but the benefits of taking the test usually outweigh the risks.

Seattle Seahawks
Bruce Irvin - #51 - DE
|6' 3"/ 248 lbs.
|Atlanta, GA
|West Virginia
|Years played
|2012, 1st round, 15th pick by Seahawks
Bears' win sets up rematch with Packers
The Bears' 35-24 dismantling of overmatched Seattle on Sunday sets up the biggest game in their 90-year series with the Packers. Chicago and Green Bay will play for the 182nd time next Sunday, but their first meeting for the NFC ...
Inactives for Seahawks-Bears
Both the Seahawks and Bears are relatively healthy for this point in the season, proven by their inactive lists for today's divisional playoff game at Soldier Field. No key contributor for either team is out due to injury.
Bears-Seahawks prediction
The Seahawks are beaming after their upset win last week, but they are not going to pull off another surprise at Soldier Field.
Bears-Seahawks matchup of the day: Saturday
The last time Chicago faced Seattle, RB Matt Forté had a season-low eight rushing attempts for 11 yards, and the Bears lost, 23-20.
Divisional-round matchup tidbits
Here's a roundup of interesting facts and figures for the divisional-round matchups.
Obomanu, Seahawks agree to extension
Seahawks WR Ben Obomanu has signed a three-year extension with the team, though terms were not disclosed.
Bears-Seahawks matchup of the day: Friday
RB Marshawn Lynch showed that he's capable of embarrassing a defense that doesn't tackle well in the Seahawks' win over the Saints.
Brock has come on like gangbusters for Seahawks
In case you didn't notice, a strong case could be made for Seahawks DE Raheem Brock suddenly becoming the league's most potent pass rusher.
Bears-Seahawks matchup of the day: Thursday
The Seahawks had little trouble tearing through Chicago's offensive line on Oct. 17, when QB Jay Cutler was sacked six times in his first game back after suffering a concussion.
Thursday practice report for divisional playoffs
Here is the Thursday practice report for the divisional round of the playoffs, showing to what degree injured players participated in their teams' practices.
Fisch leaving Seahawks for University of Miami
Seahawks quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch will leave Seattle to be the University of Miami's offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports.
Seahawks-Bears fantasy breakdown
Unlike their last meeting with the Seahawks, expect the Bears to feed the ball to RB Matt Forté in Sunday's playoff clash.
Bears-Seahawks matchup of the day: Wednesday
Rookie OLT Russell Okung played one of his best games of the season against DE Julius Peppers, who was held to two tackles as the Bears failed to sack QB Matt Hasselbeck in Week Six.
What was, and what may be …
Tom Danyluk offers his unique insight into each of the four divisional-round playoff games for this coming weekend.
Bears-Seahawks matchup of the day: Tuesday
Head coach Lovie Smith acknowledged this week that his defense has to do a better job of covering WR Mike Williams this time around.

1 Los Alamos National Bank
301 Griffin St., 954-5400
2009 Galisteo St., 988-3200
(a third location will be open at Vegas Verdes and Cerrillos Road before 2010)
Plenty of people are happy to complain about their banks. Hidden fees, arcane policies, uptight tellers, ghoulish loan officers—the list goes on. But customers of Los Alamos National Bank just get a stupid smile on their faces when asked where they keep their cash. (When I refinanced my ramshackle adobe house last year, the estimator told me I would've gotten a higher value on my house if I'd used LANB.)
Maybe it has something to do with LANB being on the front lines of charitable giving in Santa Fe or maybe it's the pioneering way in which the bank has prioritized (in partnership with Homewise) ensuring its own employees can buy a home in Santa Fe. Maybe it's because LANB has the only debit and credit cards that automatically count toward Santa Fe's Local's Care "buy local" program. Senior Vice President Fidel Gutierrez says it's about building loyalty through good service. "We opened our first bank in Santa Fe in 1999," he says. "To be recognized as the 'Best Bank or Credit Union in Santa Fe' for four years in a row reflects that we have firmly established our presence in the Santa Fe community." Gutierrez isn't wrong.
With a new—and formidably sized—location under construction on the Southside, LANB will soon have the geographic presence to match its considerable community buy-in. Gutierrez is proud of the service and support LANB offers, but says it's a two-way street: "We are grateful to have such loyal customers."

You basically never need to do the mmiotrace, unless you're a nouveau developer. There is a script that will extract all the known (useful) firmware from the blob directly. See the VideoAcceleration page for instructions. A list of which cards do and don't need to load blob firmware at this point.
Do an MmioTrace of the blob
Ensure that your kernel has MMIO tracing enabled
Kernel Hacking -> Tracers -> Memory mapped IO tracing
Boot up the system, without loading the blob or nouveau
Mount debugfs and start the tracer
mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug echo mmiotrace > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt &
Load the blob kernel module (insmod nvidia)
- run X or a CUDA application
Stop the tracer
echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
Extract register writes from the trace and put them in binary files:
- 41a1c4 -> nvXX_fuc41ad
- 4091c4 -> nvXX_fuc409d
- 41a184 -> nvXX_fuc41ac
- 409184 -> nvXX_fuc409c
The important lines in the trace will look like this:
W 4 433.851950 1 0xXX41a1c4 0x2072614d 0x0 0
0xXX41a1c4 is the register and
0x2072614d the value written
and put them in binary files in
import struct, sys, re
# substitute the correct value for XX
registers = {
'XX41a1c4': 'fuc41ad',
'XX4091c4': 'fuc409d',
'XX41a184': 'fuc41ac',
'XX409184': 'fuc409c',
firmwares = dict((register, open(registers[register], 'wb')) for register in registers)
for line in open(sys.argv[1]):
line = line.split()
if len(line) < 5:
for register in registers:
if not re.match(r'0x%s' % register, line[4]):
if not line[5].startswith('0x'):
firmwares[register].write(struct.pack('@I', int(line[5][2:], 16)))
Video firmware
Unlike the firmware you need above, there is no requirement on version. Up to nvidia 310.* will likely work. Newer versions are untested, but should still work. Note that there is a script which performs the extraction from the blob directly, see VideoAcceleration.
Extracting kernel video firmware on fermi and kepler.
There are 2 sets of firmware for video decoding, one for kernel and one for userspace. Only nvc0 series need the userspace firmware. Kepler, and also nvd9 do NOT have userspace firmware.
The kernel parts can be obtained by doing a mmiotrace of a program using vdpau for video decoding, for example mplayer -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffodivxvdpau, somefile.mkv
After you obtained the mmiotrace, look for the base offsets used by the firmware:
$ demmio -f vdpau-mmiotrace | grep P.*P.*XFER_EXT_BASE
[0] 437.753081 MMIO32 W 0x084110 0x004de400 PBSP.XFER_EXT_BASE <= 0x4de40000
[0] 445.278672 MMIO32 W 0x085110 0x004dde00 PVP.XFER_EXT_BASE <= 0x4dde0000
[0] 445.938745 MMIO32 W 0x086110 0x004dd800 PPPP.XFER_EXT_BASE <= 0x4dd80000
$ demmio -f vdpau-mmiotrace | less
would get you to the start of the mmiotrace, from my log I could see the RAMIN32 writes end at 4de50918, so I need to grab 4de[45].* for BSP firmware:
$ demmio -f vdpau-mmiotrace 2>&1 | grep 'RAMIN32 .* 4de[45].* <=' | awk '{ print $7 }' | python -c \
import struct; import sys; fd = open(\"fuc084\", \"wb\");
for line in sys.stdin:
fd.write(struct.pack(\"@I\", int(line.rstrip(), 16)))
Alternatively, you can use perl to execute for the last command. It is also more convenient as the same script can be used for all firmwares:
$ demmio -f vdpau-mmiotrace | grep 'RAMIN32 .* 4de[45].* <=' | awk '{ print $7 }' | perl -ne 'print pack "I", hex($_)' > nvXX_fuc084
This was just for PBSP, but the same applies to PVP with fuc085, and PPPP with fuc086. Put the resulting files in /lib/firmware/nouveau/
Offsets may differ, and it is recommended to check you don't end up with too big or too small a file. It looks like mine are multiples of 1000 bytes, on the nvidia 310 drivers.
Extracting userspace video firmware on nvc0 series (fermi) (NOT NVD9!!)
- libvdpau-dev, libpciaccess-dev, libx11-dev
- Valgrind-mmt
- build a recent envytools.git, and go to envytools.git/vdpow directory
- with nvidia drivers enabled and X server running, do:
/usr/local/bin/valgrind --tool=mmt --mmt-trace-file=/dev/nvidia0 --mmt-trace-file=/dev/dri/card0 --mmt-trace-nvidia-ioctls --mmt-trace-nouveau-ioctls ./mmt_ufw 2>&1 | ./dumpstruct -m 10
Copy the resulting
vuc-* files to

A 34" female brown trout caught by Todd Wendorf on Saturday, March 23, 2013. / Submitted by Todd Wendorf
The ice fishing season on Wisconsin's Lake Michigan harbors is drawing to a close so we decided to give it one more try this past weekend. Together with my buddy Andy Schutz of McFarland and I set out for one more run at the monster Brown Trout on Saturday and in the end ... we were not disappointed.
Saturday started out decent as we as we had a few bites shortly after day break, including a very heavy fish that Andy fought for a few minutes before the hook pulled free. By 10 a.m. we thought that might have been our only shot at a big fish as things slowed down considerably. Then, at noon, everything broke loose when I hooked into my personal best brown.
After a short but intense battle the 34" female brown came through the hole. The immense seeferellon strain brown had a huge head and was wide across the shoulders but had recently dropped her spawn. She ate a peach colored spawn sac in about 12' of water. After a few pictures she was released to fight again another day.
