A little about me...
I joined this site to broaden my search for someone that would make my life complete..
I have been unmarried since 2003. During that time, I have been in a few relationships. But have yet to find the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.
As I mature more and more, It seems that my life and values change with it. I once thought that all beauty was on the outside, but have come to the realization, that beauty is far more than "skin deep".
A beautiful woman is not always a good woman!!!.
And a good woman is not alway beautiful !!!
About the one I'm looking for...
I do have a few standards. I am trustworthy. I do not cheat. No matter what someone else did,
I am not him. It is hard to be with someone that is always checking up on you every minute
I live a quiet life. I read every night before I sleep. I do not watch very much TV. some say I am different because I choose not to involve myself with outside issues such as politics, religion, the "News, other people, and what they do and have. I love music, riding my bike. I would hope you would ride too, but if not, allow me the freedom to ride. I am spontaneous. I love to sometimes pack up and go.
I DO NOT sleep with animals. Period.
I do not have a cat box in my home. I understand pets, but they have their place and it is not ahead of me.
I know most of us have children. I must say this. It is hard to be a step-parent. We must earn their respect. I will try to be a good role model for them. I will stand beside you to help them. I will not tolerate abusive children, no matter how old they are. So, if your children do not respect you, as well as others, I am not your man. My children respect me, as they will you.
I'd just like to add...
So, to sum it up. I guess I am old fashioned. I was raised in the country, but my parents had respect for authority and country.
I lead a very simple and quiet life. I love to laugh and have a great sense of humor. I have a home, pay my bills, make my bed, etc. I am not a slob. I do not drink or smoke. But i would not rule out anyone that does. I choose not to drink, and quit smoking last year. So understand both. I would be glad to help someone quit when they got ready.
But the most important thing is TRUST, without it , there is nothing.. I have no reason to be dishonest... I do not NEED a wife,
I WANT a companion to grow old and share my life with.
Let's be Face Book Friends. I know it sounds stupid, but you can tell a lot about them, by looking at what they like and their friends. It also opens the door for more pictures . Past and present. So, If you are not on there. Give it a try.
But if not, don't just play the " Flirt" thing, it's kind of silly. I can see it at first try, just to see if there is any interest. But if so, go ahead and let's talk live. I promise, what you see is exactly what you will get.. No surprises here..
Will travel. Atlanta to Dallas, Nashville to New Orleans..!!!

Teen project sparks WORLD-WIDE PEE-POWERED HYPEGASM!
File this one under "pending": a group of African students has shown a hydrogen-powered generator at Maker Faire Africa in Lagos that uses urine as its fuel source. Maker Faire Lagos put the story here, crediting Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin and Bello Eniola with the build. And what a sensation it's …
Sounds a bit perpetual motion to me. 1 litre of diesel wouldn't run any worthwhile size of generator for 6 hours; and you're having to input power to split the H and the O to prime the pump, as it were, before you start.
Could be something flashy going on with the nitrogen and phosphorus commonly found in urine, but there just doesn't seem to be enough energy (even if you account for the heat energy) going in to back up the claims.
DISCLAIMER: Based on gut feeling and a bit of scanning Wikipedia rather than actual science and specialist knowledge
If there was lots of free energy in urine, bacteria would be jetting out of the gully in every street corner.
I think you're misunderstanding the point of the invention.
Nobody is claiming that they are getting out more energy that they are putting in. They are using solar power to generate electricity to split urine and generate hydrogen, which can then be stored and transported as a usable fuel. You might not want to crack regular water to do this as it's quite a scarce resource in some places, so why not use the waste water in urine instead?
If the kit was designed just to store electricity, then charging batteries would seem a much more obvious and efficient use of the solar panels. In this case though, you can in theory use the hydrogen to drive a vehicle or in other areas where batteries are less practical.
In any case, we'll know if it was a viable technology or not if an oil company has them all shot by the end of the month...
> an oil company has them all shot
Not that liberal stuff again.
Seriously, where are the solar panels?
" ...use the hydrogen to drive a vehicle or in other areas where batteries are less practical."
Compressing and then storing hydrogen under pressure takes energy and infrastructure. It also takes maintenance effort on the compressor and storage containers to prevent them from becoming extremely dangerous, instead of just very dangerous. I'd prefer batteries if at all possible.
Just use batteries FFS
Generating hydrogen via electrolysis is, at best, only around 30% efficient (last I looked at least).
It's so bad, in fact, that 95% of commercial hydrogen production comes from hydrocarbons (read: fossil fuels) - which is 80% efficient.
When you consider the rest of the efficiency losses from a system like this (I'm guessing that generator is no more than 40% efficient, and energy is required to pressurize the hydrogen too... batteries are a *much* more efficient approach. Not to mention simpler to troubleshoot and maintain.
Looks like a solution in search of a problem to me... and what problems it seems to be aimed at are already better addressed via existing tech.
"Not that liberal stuff again."
Are you sure that word means what you think it means?
Oh yes.
Phone Sir David Steel and ask him what that means in UK then ;) He might be willing to tell you a bit about Whigs and Toraighs too :P
Already been asked
It looks to be around 450 ml. Not sure what size generator they are using, but a nano-generator might do it..
I sent an email to Nigeria looking for clarification and to my amazement, I discovered a long lost business acquaintance of Sir Edmund Hillary and they need my assistance with transferring a large sum of money where I get part of the proceeds and the rest will be used to create a urination inducing drug and long catheters to power these new generators. I've already sent my bank account number and personal details. I guess I won't be hanging around here with you sorry suckers much longer ... I'm in da money !
beat me to it
Shirley the word "Lagos" in the article should have a few eyebrows raised... not saying it's not possible for anything truly innovative to come from there, but given the track record of being promised a large return for just a very small initial investment I'd say this *could* be the first scientific 419 scam.

Re: beat me to it
Steorn are rank amateurs compared to the run-for-the-AC-switch E-Cat crowd, paging Mr Rossi...
A while back I did some basic work on building an electrolysis kit with the idea of making hydrogen for balloons. It didn't work, but I did some reading up on the effects of dissolving stuff in the water to increase the ion thingy count to make the liquid more conductive and, hopefully, make it dissociate faster.
What I found can be summarised thus: it's complicated, and I didn't understand it.
But regardless of how conductive the water is, you're still not going to get away from the core energy requirements of 286kJ per mole needed to break up the water molecules. The only advantage of increasing conductivity is that it lets you push more energy through and so do it faster. Urine is jam-packed with dissolved salts and so may make a good candidate for electrolysis.
(My electrolysis kit produced a few bubbles but nothing useful.)
Re: Conductivity?
Re making hydrogen for balloons, I remember my dad doing this for us a couple times:
Put some water with caustic soda in a thick glass coke bottle (1.5l I think), then drop in pieces of rolled up aluminium foil, and put the balloon over the bottle opening. Generates enough pressure to blow up a balloon (although maybe stretch it out first by filling it with air).
The bottle gets pretty damn hot, and it's frikkin' dangerous, so don't bother trying. Last time he did it was probably about 1992. There's much more H+S awareness nowadays around here.
If their pee is strong enough to power a generator I suggest they probably ought to be drinking more water.
Re: Dehydrated?
"If their pee is strong enough to power a generator I suggest they probably ought to be drinking more water."
And less vodka
Well thats the power of...
Taking the pee...
Doesnt electrolysis require electricity? :-) which then makes it inefficient...
Gas check!
That repurposed cooking gas bottle sure looks dodgy. Fill it with hydrogen?
Where's the compressor?
We can at least check whether it will explode like a pez dispenser.
Let's see... 6h juice for a 40 W bulb demands 864 kJ; let's round up to 1 MJ.
With hydrogen's energy density of 33.3 kWh/kg, we need ~8g when perfectly efficient.
Hydrogen density at 1013 mbar / 20 °C is 84 g/m³, so we need 95 l at normal pressure. Let's say 100l.
That cooking gas cylinder holds ~10 l, so we compress the ~100l down and increase the pressure to 10 atmospheres .... which indeed is the actual pressure expected of cooking gas bottles.
Well, at least the storage holds (I suspect the hydrogen will escape more easily than butane)
Urea to H2
Yes you can get H2 from Urea in piss. For example
But nothing like the amount they would need to run a generator.
Takes way to much energy to split water, better to just use a battery.
Quick calculations
The main hydrogen constituents of urine are water, urea and creatinine. Assuming Wikipedia is correct in how much of each are in urine and the average density of urine is 1033 g/L we get an approximate mass of hydrogen being 109.66 g. Given there are 123 MJ of energy in every kilogram of Hydrogen then 1L of urine contains 13.5 MJ of energy due to hydrogen. Now, there are 21,600 seconds in 6 hours so simple division gives us 13,500,000 joules / 21,600 seconds = 625 watts. If we assume 20% efficiency for the engine/generator that leaves 125 watts available for use. That might not sound like much but it would certainly charge a cell phone as required, provide enough energy to run a reasonably efficient refrigerator and maybe even keep enough CFLs lit to keep the critters of the night at bay. How much power do you really need?
Re: Quick calculations
You see, I've looked at this and to me it does stack up. Your calculations show it is perfectly plausible.
They're not cracking hydrogen out of water, the hydrogen comes from the urea which requires a lot less energy. There probably is enough energy in the urea to power the generator for the times given.
You don't need to pressurise your gas if you don't intend to store it, remember they aren't making hydrogen for use later, the generator is running off of the hydrogen as it's produced.
So instead of rubbishing the work and saying it doesn't work, these girls should be applauded for doing some pretty neat science.
Is this going to solve he worlds energy problems? Of course not, you have to insert urine at a rate of 1L every 6 hours and since the important component is the urea you going to need proper, first thing in the morning, piss to make it work. That doesn't mean the system itself isn't working.
Re: Quick calculations
> there are 123 MJ of energy in every kilogram of Hydrogen
123MJ in every Kg of hydrogen *gas*.
There is essentially *no* hydrogen gas in urine, just lots of hydrogen ions.
You need to pump energy in to reduce those ions back to atoms...
Re: Quick calculations
Indeed! Let's have less poopooing on the economic viability, etc and lots more "congratulations, young ladies" for a clever school science project.
The rest of you lot: jaded much?
Re: Quick calculations
Sadly people from the First World discount ideas from the third world all too easily. If I was a cynic I'd say that the bunch of smartarses on here would have poo-pooed William Kamkwamba's wind mill in Malawi too.
People interested in improving the livelihoods of people in impoverished/less-developed areas took an interest in his idea because it was a good idea for his circumstances and because he used the knowledge gleaned from his library to build it. Now, because of that simple idea, he is a TED speaker and a driver behind improving the lives of many others in his community and elsewhere.
Just having electricity, even if it's just to light one bulb, is already a big deal in rural areas. These school kids deserve credit for looking at solutions that us Westerners would snigger at, simply because their solution might be well-suited for their environment. Science will improve the lives of the locals, especially when it is locals who thought it up, built it, proved the concept and made something from it.
I say well done to these kids.
(Yeah yeah, downvote me already)
Re: Quick calculations
@Fuzz; Most of the hydrogen comes from the water not the urea. The urea contributes less than one percent.
@Vic; The amount of energy in hydrogen isn't really dependent on which material phase it's in unless you really care about that 1/2 MJ/kg. I'm sure there are some hydrogen ions in there but given urine has a pH range of about 5 to 8 it isn't much of a contributor and no I don't care if they are anions or cations. Finally, did you miss the bit about them using an electrolytic cell to extract the hydrogen? In essence it pumps energy in to break the molecular bonds and allows the hydrogen to be extracted.
Re: Quick calculations
> isn't really dependent on which material phase
Yes, but we're not talking about material phases, are we? We're talking about whether or not energy can be released from the hydrogen. It's really rather difficult to release energy from hydrogen ions - you need an awful lot of heat and pressure to do that, and that's not available in the middle of Lagos just yet.
> I'm sure there are some hydrogen ions in there
I'm sure that essentially all the hydrogen is ionised.
> no I don't care if they are anions or cations
That's very generous of you. How do you propose to release energy from hydrogen ions? You can't burn them, you know.
> did you miss the bit about them using an electrolytic cell to extract the hydrogen?
No. I just see it for what it is - a *very* inefficient way of storing a small amount of energy developed somewhere else. None of this hydrogen malarkey is helping in the slightest; a simple lead-acid accumulator would be a far better way of storing energy on this scale.
> it pumps energy in to break the molecular bonds and allows the hydrogen to be extracted.
Yes. What you've failed to realise is that the amount of energy used to break those bonds is significantly greater than the energy that will be released once the hydrogen is used - and that's assuming that you haven't just lost it to leakage.
Anything that looks like a "free energy" machine is doomed to failure by way of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Re: SP
"...solutions that us Westerners would snigger at, simply because their solution might be well-suited for their environment."
This is a great science project but let's be fair... compared to a windmill or solar panel hooked to battery banks, this is might as well have been built by Rube Goldberg. It is, most certainly, nothing like a William Kamkwamba windmill.
If you are really interested in the lives of people in impoverished/less-developed areas there are many more practical efforts you could get behind: the Q Drum, biosand filters, water wells, permaculture design/training for farming, use of protector animals for ranching (not always possible but in some cases can help), and finally to your point... windmills/solar panels for electricity.
These girls should be applauded for a GREAT experiment... but let's not kid ourselves that it's practical.
Re: Quick calculations
"Yes, but we're not talking about material phases, are we?"
Actually, I thought you were when you stated;
"123MJ in every Kg of hydrogen *gas*."
I merely pointed out that it wouldn't matter if it was a solid brick of hydrogen, it would still have roughly the same amount of energy available for the same chemical reaction.
"How do you propose to release energy from hydrogen ions? You can't burn them, you know."
Uh, once you get the hydrogen out with the electrolytic cell it will burn just fine, that's the point. Ions have little to do with it and perhaps this and this will help clear things up. I think you're confused between what the kids are doing and another process as the only heat and pressure that these kids need is in the combustion chamber of the tiny engine they have.
Also, I didn't say it was efficient and I agree on that point. In fact I was probably being a bit generous saying the generator efficiency was 20% as it is probably less considering the engine likely isn't optimized for running on hydrogen who knows how good the electrical side is or its condition. I will say the amount of energy used to break those bonds is about 123 MJ per kilogram which, not so coincidentally, is exactly what comes out. The fact that inefficiency exists in the system means it isn't perpetual motion or "free energy" and is why it will take putting more energy than that into the electrolytic cell to get the hydrogen and only 20% or less will come out of the generator. Let's be honest they probably aren't using rare and expensive metals in their electrolytic cell so in total the process efficiency might be as high as 10% on a good day. Overall that's pretty poor since from the numbers I put above it's right on par with a 63 amp hour 12 volt car battery. In the long run, AC@18:35 has it right, it's an experiment, an interesting way of learning for these kids and if it's all there is then it's certainly better than nothing.
Re: Quick calculations
> it would still have roughly the same amount of energy available for the same chemical reaction.
If it were atomic or molecular hydrogen, that would be true. But it isn't - it's H+ ions. And they don't burn.
> once you get the hydrogen out with the electrolytic cell it will burn just fine
Yes, but to get the hydrogen out with the cell requires more energy than you will get back from the hydrogen. The cell is a net energy loss.
> I think you're confused
I'm not confused in the slightest. I am merely annoyed that people keep promoting energy sinks as energy sources. This cell idea is an energy sink.
> and another process as the only heat and pressure that these kids need
Yeah, as you seem to have entirely missed the point, the process I was talking about by which you can extract energy from hydrogen ions is nuclear fusion. It worries me that I have to spell it out in such detail.
> I didn't say it was efficient and I agree on that point
You seem to have missed the boat on *how* inefficient it is; the power used to drive the cell would be better put into a simple battery. That would leave much more energy available as electricity. Pumping it through this hydrogen cycle leaves less energy available for use than if it had not been used in the first place.
This isn't a case of "it could be better", it's a case of "it would be better not to bother".
> I will say the amount of energy used to break those bonds is about 123 MJ per kilogram
You're assuming 100% efficiency. This does not occur at all, but in a heat engine - which is in use in this cycle - the absolute maximum efficiency that can be achieved is 1-(Tc/Th), where Tc and Th are measured in kelvin. Given a Th somewhere in the region of 500K - which is probably being a bit generous - and a Tc of around 300K, the absolute maximum efficiency that can be achieved with absolutely ideal, perfect components is 40%. This is being generous, as in practice it's going to be half that. Compare that to >80% efficiency just storing the energy in a battery, and you have a better picture of why this is such a waste of time.
> The fact that inefficiency exists in the system means it isn't perpetual motion or "free energy"
Precisely so. It is, in fact, a *waste* of energy. Significantly more energy would be available if the whole electrolysis thing was just abandoned.
> only 20% or less will come out of the generator.
THat's 20% or so *of the energy put into the generator*. You've already lost ~50% of your energy in the electrolysis cell, leaving around 10% of the inoput energy coming out of the generator. In other words, you have to pump into the system 10 times the amount of energy you get out of the back of it. Alternatively, you could just not bother with the system and use the energy you're feeding it more effectively elsewhere.
> in total the process efficiency might be as high as 10% on a good day.
So why use it? You've got 100% available from the energy source, or 10% of that energy after you've wasted 90% in an electrolysis / heat engine combination. I really fail to see why you are championing a setup that just wastes energy.
> it's an experiment, an interesting way of learning for these kids
And as a bit of fun, that's just fine. As a source of energy, it is very far from it.
Re: Quick calculations
Lets try from the other end.
Honda's smallest generator is 1000 W max.
At 25% load it will run for about 3.5 hours on 1L of gasoline.
If you think you can get more energy from 1L of piss then 1L of gasoline I've got some cold fusion plans to sell you.
It also looks like your including the Hydrogen in the water (check how much energy it takes to split water).
Maybe you would also be interested in my special magnet kit that will allow your car to run on water.
I recall and article...
...in Wired magazine some months ago which said that it was easier to extract hydrogen from urea than from pure water. I can't remember the article saying why this was, but David Given's earlier post hints at what might be the answer.
Re: I recall and article...
-> http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/news/2009/july/02070902.asp
Re: I recall and article...
In a neat piece of nominative determinism the lead researcher is a B K Boggs.
Re: I recall and article...
Yes Hydrogen can be extracted from urea (see my first post). They are working on a system for the military, but it's not just the electricity (produced from a fuel cell) that makes it worth while, it also produces drinkable water (and Ammonia as a waste product).
I've been considering...
The possibilities of running a generator on gullibility, but I'm afraid it'd just explode from input overload!
Hmm, maybe DARPA'd be interested in that. (Where'd I put that grant submission form?)
Sorry, one big problem
Hydrogen is difficult to store. Most containers just don't hold it and they leak. Add to that that hydrogen is pretty corrosive, and makes metal containers pretty brittle. Of course, as others have noted, you need to compress the gas a bunch to get it into a container to use it. Now after you have the stuff, you need to use it. Not easy to do, as it really isn't an easy to use fuel. Sure, there are fuel cells, but they are big to generate anything useful in the way of voltage at any current. It might be easier to use the hydrogen to combine with some of the ugly carbon to make methane.
All in all not easy to do. For me: I'll stick with what works and still fuel my vehicle (a nice bug SUV) with gasoline/petrol like all us ugly Americans do, much as our re-elected president doesn't like it.
Re: Sorry, one big problem
Hmm ... pee is difficult to store as well, once you reach a full bladder at around 650mL. After that, most bladders leak. Difficult for most females to transfer urine to other containers, as well, even with a great deal of practice.
Paris -- owner of much-displayed transfer system
Re: Sorry, one big problem
Downvoted just for being an arse re the "Paris - transfer system" comment
That's all the UK needs now is pee powered pubs.
Back of the envelope calculation...
Two litre petrol engine requires about ten cubic metres of air an hour to tickover. Assume, for the sake of argument, a 250cc engine, which will require about a metre and a quarter, all else being equal. Since a mol of any gas occupies the same volume at constant pressure and temperature, it will need about 40% of that 1.25 metres of air.
So the first question is: can that demonstrated hardware produce half a cubic metre of hydrogen an hour?
Assuming that the fluid is mostly water and the electrolytes are there just to help the reaction along, internet 'research' reveals about 4700 litres of H2 are available from a gallon of water. The size of that battery? Dunno - let's give it half a gallon to be friendly. That runs to 2350 litres of H2, two and a bit cubic metres.
So the hydrogen is *available*... whether it's extractable as fast as the engine can burn it, now that's another question which sadly I don't have time at the moment to think about!
...it would be better to poo in a tank, tap off the methane and use that to power a generator?
No more pee stops when driving an electric car!
title says it all.

Re: Is someone taking the
Congratulations, admire the shine on your "Today's Most Obvious Quip" award.
Everybody else thought it was too obvious to bother, but you sir, well done you.
Check this out ...
...before writing it off as a "perpetual motion machine":
Re: Check this out ...
That's entirely the problem, electrolysis requires electricity. From paragraph 4 of your link, "To break the molecule down, a voltage of 0.37V needs to be applied across the cell - much less than the 1.23V needed to split water." In the photos, where is the electricity source that is supplying the electrolytic cell?
Although possibly true an equally likely explanation is that this contraption is exactly what it appears to be, a car battery connected to an inverter with a light bulb on the end. The green tank (which looks like an old refrigerant bottle), water filters, "one-way valves" (which look like in-line fuel filters from a car) and in fact the generator itself appear to be just decorations.
I knew that storing all my urine in bottles in the attic would pay off one day.

Intel flogging Atoms for belated push into mobile market
While the PC market may be stalling, Intel's new CEO Brian Krzanich has been laying out his plans for Chipzilla's progress in his post-results analysts' call on Wednesday – and the future, at least for the short term, is all about Atom and mobile. "We've not always lived up to the standards that we've set for ourselves," he said …
Even holding market share is not enough
Intel really do look like they have their backs up against the wall with huge competition for ARM-based devices.
Even if Intel can pull off the unlikely and keep up market share, that is not going to be enough. ARM parts cost a lot less than full-fat Intel parts. To compete, Intel will have to be selling a lot of Atom parts making a lot less profit per chip.
Intel are a company built around very high margin devices and re-gearing a company to survive on low-margin chips is hard. They might be able to get there in the end but it is going to be painful and Wall St is going to punish them.
What is sad is that Intel were in the game with their XScale ARM-compatible parts. If they threw all that process magic they are using on Atom at XScale they would be in a far better position.
Re: Even holding market share is not enough
There's nothing stopping Intel from taking out an ARM License. Their process technology would mean that Intel-fabbed Arm would be the best of class.
However, they'd regard that as losing because they'd have to split the profit with ARM. They'd rather keep 100% of the profit, if they can.
It's a VHS / Betamax battle on a far greater scale. I don't care to pick a winner at present.
Re: Even holding market share is not enough
much as Intel would love to keep it's foundries pumping x86 chips for the world to glom, it ain't happening.
x86 demand is failing fast, as ARM and GPU-Compute devour Intel's markets.
Enterprise is being encroached by ARM, Supercomputing (formally 100% Intel) is now ~50% Nvidia GPU, desktop and laptop is dying as mobiles devour them and mobiles are run by ARM.
Intel will have to drop their price premium drastically if they want to compete with cheap ARM chips, as currently Intel charge over 2x the price.
lintel simply aren't competing on performance-per-watt-per dollar against ARM.
Hell even MIPS is making a comeback with Imagination Technologies (PowerVR guys) buying MIPS and announcing their "Warrior" processors.
Intel had to choose between shutting/slowing down foundries, or keep them pumping at full pace making other people's chips. Intel chose the latter.
Intel now cooks other companies chips in Intel's own ovens, chips from Altera and Cisco.
that's gotta be a hard pill to swallow.
now Intel keeps saying it wants to enter the mobile market, which we've heard since 2007 :http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397964,00.asp
still waiting to see Intel make a dent in ARM's market.
Hell Intel even previous claimed by 2014 they would be selling more SoC's than "mainstream x86" chips: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/23/idf_soc_plan/
Still waiting.
Products or GTFO Intel.
Re: Even holding market share is not enough

They already have a licence, and not just a manufacturing licence, but an architecture licence, allowing them to change the design of the processor core.
However, they'd regard that as losing because they'd have to split the profit with ARM. They'd rather keep 100% of the profit, if they can.
It's not splitting profits with ARM who only take a minuscule amount per chip, it's not being able to charge obscene margins when competing every other ARM licensee.
Re: Even holding market share is not enough
as currently Intel charge over 2x the price
If only it were just 2 x. Intel has, fortunately, even fatter margins which will give it room for manoeuvre but price-cutting is usually a one-way street and, in this case, the deflation argument (customers will hold off purchases expecting further discounts) is very likely to bite.
Major restructuring similar to what AMD has been through over the last few years (spinning out fab or design) are probably unavoidable and probably buying a graphics chip designer to compete in the SoC market. Currently, Intel still has an impressive performance lead in high-end chips (whatever you think of them the Xeons can do some serious work) but the competition is really starting to hot up (both NVidia and AMD have impressive offerings and new players are moving in).
Re: Even holding market share is not enough
Intel have an ARMv5 architecture license, which is effectively worthless today.
It's not a belated push.....
The ARM ecosystem 5 years ago was not what it is today. HD Graphics, HD cameras, interent connectivity 5 years ago all were the goal, the dream. What ARM was back then was cheap, and used very little power. Today ARM is still cheap, uses quite a bit more power the penalty for a much higher performance envelope.
Lets switch to x86 from both Intel and AMD. 5 years ago x86 was power hungry and high performing. Low power was the goal, the dream and it took 5 years for x86 to evolve itself downwards to the point where is just now competitive with ARM who has evoved itself upwards.
ARM has always faced this performance ceiling and the consequences of it, when does x86 become a better solution than ARM? With all power consumption and performance curves being equal I would prefer a smart phone or tablet or notebook that runs compatible software. Notice that I said software not apps. An app is something that you eat before your main meal (for us colonials). You limeys call them starters.
So Intel and AMD have not entered the phone and tablet space belatedly, it has been a steady evolution downwards.
Intel has been so busy competing with AMD on the bleeding edge that it took a sea change in corporate design philosophy to entertain the concept of low perfomance being "good enough". That is what AMD has been saying for years. So we now have a knew race downwards. You can't have low power and bleeding edge performance, at least not with today's understanding of physics. Yes there are fabrication techniques which help such as FinFET, but power equals performance.
Intel facing tough competition?
We all know what happened last time.
How long until evidence emerges of Intel selling Atoms at below cost to win business, or accusations of other underhand business practices? Leopards don't change their spots...
The propaganda effort has started in earnest
Ottelini was lots of sound and fury: lots of jam tomorrow. Or at least, competitiveness in the mobile market a fairly constant something-under-12-months away.
Now it appears they've been caught commissioning sham benchmarks[1] (reported in earnest here at El Reg[2]), it seems the gloves are off to fight dirty.
[1] http://hothardware.com/News/AnTuTu-Mobile-Benchmark-Cited-By-Analysts-Fundementally-Broken-Heavily-Favors-Intel-Architecture/
[2] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/14/intel_clover_trail_plus_benchmark_comparison_with_arm/
Re: The propaganda effort has started in earnest
I'm not disagreeing with your assignment but biased benchmarks are hardly a new phenomenon in the PC industry. You never have needed to look at the scores and ratings but only whose paying for it to know what the results are going to say.
Re: The propaganda effort has started in earnest
What is new though is that Intel managed to optimize their compiler for an independent closed-source benchmark and convince the developers to use their benchmark busting compiler without publicly saying so. Then they paid ABI Research to do the dirty work and make the false claims. Presumably the "leaks" of Bay Trail AnTuTu scores were done on purpose as well.
It means that we have to take all future benchmark results where Intel appears to do well as possibly cheated in the same way, even if the benchmark appears to be independent initially. AnTuTu is quite tainted now, but I suppose that never stopped anyone before from relying on a bad benchmark...
the good and bad
the good news is that Intel and Microsoft have removed the 1024x800 Windows Starter wuth a maximum of a 10" screen restriction.
However they now seem to have locked the firmware so that it gets to be obsolete far sooner.
So no standard booting to Linux.Android or even OS/X.

Opihihale Cabin Rental Photos and Description
Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 6-7)
Are there still some adventurous, Huck Finn type sparks alive in you? Then turn up your Jurassic Big Island experience another notch by staying in this unique, hand-made, GENUINE treehouse built 20 ft. up into 5 living, native Hawaiian ohia trees.
Look down onto the reaching fronds of amazing hapu'us (giant tree ferns) from huge windows and lanais all around, providing 360-degree birds-eye views of this secure, private 4 acre paradise. Witness the thrills of nature's interactions while nestled in homey comforts, including full-kitchen and bath, TV/DVD, music and more to modernize your Swiss Family Robinson experience.
Fall asleep while star-viewing from your comfy bed perched high up in the spacious loft. Some nights, even the volcano's red glow is visible.
A real-deal treehouse... located between two active volcanic vents... in Hawaii... you might never want to leave! But Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the charming artist colony of Volcano Village are nearby if you do.
Huck Finn says: For the creative, environmentally sensitive types, not the fussy. This truly 'green' structure was intentionally built in the most non-invasive manner, using high grade building wood and reconditioned windows, doors, and most everything else (including the 'kitchen sink!') And after 6 years of testing by various forces of nature, it's structural integrity has been proven to be sound and solid. And the trees are happy, too.

Stink bugs expected to invade Georgia
While the stink bug has been found in a few places in northern parts of Tennessee, it hasn't made its way to Chattanooga yet.
Yes it has. I have been seeing them at my house in Hixson for s few weeks. I have just been gingerly picking them up and dropping them into a container of alcohol. That kills them.
To all these these people that are crying foul on needing a picture ID to vote, get over it. You need an picture ID to cash a check? I don't hear you screaming and crying about that. If you don't want to get a proper ID to vote, then stay away from the polls. Plain and simple. Apparently there must be something you are hiding from if you refuse to get a picture ID. Or maybe you're a vampire and can't be photographed. ;-)
Letters to the Editor
I have to agree with Mr.Goodman. All political office should have term limits set as well as a pay scale cap . Perks and benefits should be eliminated, including free lifetime retirement pay for which they are eligible for after one term. Let them all pay into a 401k or similar like the rest of us. Eliminate their free health insurance, as well as their automatic yearly pay raises. It's time politicians should have to live like the rest of us.
You can complain about bank shifts
In response to Mr. Smith's letter regarding the "Big Bank" Ripoff, I have this to say. Be rest assured that any complaint to the government about any of the big banks will fall on deaf ears. Nothing will be done whatsoever because "Big Bank" has way too much influence in politics. However one way we can all let them know how we feel is take all our business from them and move to the smaller locally owned banks and credit unions. In other words, hit them where it hurts them the most, in the pockets.
Letters to the Editor
Sandy. I think you may want to read the letter a little more carefully. #1, it was not her friends dog. #2, the woman that did own the dog was arrested therefore had no access to her keys to send them to anyone to let the dog out. #3, she stated in the letter that the dogs owner was very intimidating and considered dangerous. So yes, Ms Crabtree is justified in her disgust in the unwillingness of HES and McKamey to help. I know I am disgusted with them.

Cloud company avoids the cloud
An infrastructure startup has had to shift off of cloud servers to bare metal gear after it ran into performance issues, showing that virtualization is not always the optimal tech for cloudy apps. Firebase, a backend-as-a-service company that provides a technology which lets developers sync JSON data in real time across …
Someone somewhere
needs real computers.
If you are running LAMP, and each user has web applications + data base, which is better performance?
1 copy of SQL & Apache and Linux with N user accounts
N x VMs, each with a copy of Linux, Apache and SQL?
*nix OS family was multiuser from the beginning
Only if you have users installing native applications is the overhead of VM needed.
For 99.99% of ordinary hosting the "VM" is a waste of money and performance.
VMs and Cloudy Computing has it's niche. But it's stupid for most things.
Re: Someone somewhere
It really depends on what those accounts are doing. In scenario 1 you can get the best overall performance but that is not the only consideration -- try co-ordinating downtime for all the customers sharing that system for things like OS updates, major database changes etc. What if customer X needs some patch installed that breaks customer Y's systems? What if customer C is doing a bunch of bad sql and causing massive locking impacting the DB's ability to serve other customers? In the case of oracle (locking related too just had a flashback) what if customer G runs a bunch of stuff that causes latch contention? (basically drives cpu to 100% and throughput to zero).
For 99.9% of ordinary hosting VMs provide more than adequate performance, because most(I'd wager at least 95%) systems sit at less than 10% utilization at any given point. So you can take a rack of servers running VM software, or you can take 50 racks of other servers providing the same service - which is more cost effective? An alternative approach is to use micro servers, but those in themselves are even more limited (memory/cpu configurations). If your app(s) work well with those configurations then by all means have at it.
At the end of the day it comes down to determining the best for the application(s) at hand. Some are very well suited for bare metal, most others it would be a waste of energy, and hardware capacity.
But as for cloud - yes it is pretty bad. People should not confuse public clouds with what customers can achieve on their own private infrastructure (whether you call it cloud, or I refer to it as utility computing). The two are further apart than virtual vs physical.
cloud vs virtualization
you can't really put a blanket blame on virtualization when a cloud service provider fails.
It's not rocket science to run a virtualization infrastructure with good performance and low latency. Especially if you are controlling everything end to end. Having full insight into what everything is doing is key (this is often(almost always) not possible with cloud service providers).
However if you can leverage the underlying hardware and perhaps can run multi tenant from within a single app then you may be better off with bare metal. So many people seem to think that bare metal is a terrible thing to do these days, but it can make sense if your app can leverage it right. Otherwise put a hypervisor on there and run multiple VMs to better utilize the hardware.
I was talking with another startup recently that is a service provider of sorts, they too started out in the cloud (various clouds) but were forced to move out quickly because of latency and lack of consistent performance issues (cost too but that wasn't the primary driver I gather).
The solution is often only as strong as the weakest link, if your lucky and have a robust software stack then the next weakest link is probably the infrastructure, and the most commonly used cloud infrastructure is not built to be very reliable.

I can not say enough good things about Preston Woodall House. From the initial consultation, to our tasting...everything we have experienced has been phenomenal. Joel has made this such a wonderful, and memorable time for us. I give Preston Woodall House a perfect score, because they have been nothing less than perfect!

The first day I walked into the venue, the first person I met was Joel, I fell in love with him and then fell in love with the house. The house is beautiful and has so much charm. Joel was so friendly, answered all our questions and was so amazing to work with. We got everything we wanted and more. Chef Brian is amazing, his menu for the wedding was incredible and everyone loved it. The staff was friendly and so accommodating. We were originally planning on doing the ceremony outside, however, the weather was not cooperating, Joel and staff did an amazing job of setting up the ballroom for the ceremony. Even though I was upset about not having the wedding in the courtyard, after I saw the setup in the ballroom, all of that went away and I was nothing but smiles. I knew I was there to marry my soul-mate and nothing else mattered. And it was perfect. It was also nice to have everyone stay with us at the venue, our family and friends stayed in the house with us and surrounding cabins around the house. We really enjoyed having everyone so close to us. Chef Brian and the staff even surprised us on our wedding night with a clean bridal suite with champagne, cupcakes and full plates of food from dinner, and this amazing display of rose petals shaped into a heart on our bed. We were blown away. Everyone knows how wrecked a bridal suite can get when you are getting ready for the wedding, it was super nice to have someone clean that up for us for our wedding night, we were so grateful to the Preston Woodall staff. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things this venue has to offer, but the last thing I will say is that my husband and I loved everything about this venue, we had the perfect wedding, and we will never ever forget it. People are still talking about it a month later. Thanks Joel, Stephanie, Chef Brian and staff for all your hard work.

The Preston Woodall House is where our entire wedding weekend took place. The staff was accommodating throughout the process. I dealt primarily with Joel and Kaitlyn prior to the wedding weekend but Stephanie and Chef Brian were there to help from the time we walked through the door. The staff was amazing. From bringing us snacks while getting ready to providing breakfast for our out of town guests the whole weekend went wonderfully thanks to this spectacular venue. I would highly recommend this venue to brides with many out of town guests however there are packages to fit every brides needs. Thanks a million PWH!!!!!

Exquisite venue! Joel, Stephanie, Brian & team provide world class service that is second to none. The staff at the Preston Woodall jumped through hoops to ensure our day went just how we'd planned & delivered a customized event that made all our dreams come true (and then some). We opted for the Platinum Package (keys to the estate all weekend long) and, if we could only recommend one thing, it would be to do the same! The platinum package allowed us the comfort of knowing everything would be taken care of & truly enabled us to focus on all the fun details of planning a wedding. Some of our favorite memories from the weekend came after hours with our overnight guests, an experience you cannot get at every venue. We knew we were on to something special when we met with other vendors and they got just as excited as we were when they heard we were planning our event at the Preston Woodall House! There is nothing more assuring than to hear what a wonderful reputation the PWH has in the community. And the foundation started with Joel, whom is literally the best Wedding Director you'll find anywhere on this planet. He made us feel like we were part of the family throughout the planning process; he guided us with confidence & class and had phenomenal recommendations along the way. He was extremely flexible with our vendor selections, allowing us to truly personalize our event to our vision. Brian, the executive chef, adds an element of luxury to the menu with personalized recommendations & the best food your guests will have all wedding season (we literally got the most compliments about the food all weekend long, from the cheese grits at breakfast to the late night snacks after the reception). Not only is Brian an incredible chef, but he was also an extension of our event planning team, making sure everything came together perfectly, even after having a baby boy the same week of our wedding! The staff at PWH found ways to make our event sincerely unique all weekend long,

Garrett and I were in search of a venue that could best satisfy all of our needs for our special day. We visited several venues, but it wasn't until we visited The Preston Woodall House that we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the first time we stepped into the Preston Woodall House to the day we said "I do", the staff was absolutely amazing. Joel and Kaitlyn made us feel more like friends than clients and that was a huge selling point for us.
Joel and his staff worked tirelessly around the clock to meet our demands. We even threw in a monkey wrench a couple weeks before our wedding and Joel was very understanding and made it happen. The staff was always accessible via email and phone and their response time was very timely.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and everything we dreamed it would be. We are still receiving compliments from friends and family regarding how beautiful our wedding was and how great the food was, thanks to Chef Brian! Not only did we choose the best venue to celebrate our marriage, but we built friendships along the way. We will be recommending the Preston Woodall House to all of our friends!!! Love, Garrett and Heather Davis

I really don't know where to begin. When I got engaged May 2013 I thought I was going to be overwhelmed with wedding planning...until I found Joel Hurley and the Preston Woodall House. It took one visit to know that this was the place I wanted to marry my best friend. We got the all inclusive package for the whole weekend and brides I can't recommend this enough!! Joel and his staff treated not only me like family but made sure my whole family was treated the same. I consider he and his daughter Kaitlyn friends for life. Everything about our weekend was perfect and it couldn't have happened without Joel and his team. If you want the wedding of your dreams, Joel Hurley and the Preston Woodall House are the way to go! And big shoutout to Chef Brian who killed it with the food for the whole weekend!! It was amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made such a fabulous weekend come to life!

Joel and the entire staff of the Preston Woodall House were nothing short of amazing! The venue is breathtaking! I had an outside wedding in the garden and an indoor reception in the gorgeous ballroom. Joel and his staff helped to plan my dream wedding from start to finish. They were always quick to respond to phone calls and emails and always made time for me to stop in and go over details. Anything I needed help with, they covered it! I had a few last minute changes but Joel made every change workout! Joel had great ideas! All of my guests who attended the wedding said that this was the most incredible wedding they had ever been to. I can only attribute that statement to the entire staff of the Preston Woodall House! They were all so amazing, friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating! There ere no snags in my wedding, if there were snags, I never knew about it :) Wedding planning is no easy task, but because I booked the Preston Woodall House, I rarely had a stressful moment of planning. I picked the wedding weekend package which allowed me to have my bridal party and other guest spend the night on Friday and Saturday. The staff was on top of everything and were super friendly and helpful to everyone! Have I mention Brian, the chef, and his food?!?!?! The food was incredible, 5 star! Our rehearsal dinner, reception dinner, and breakfast was out of this world! Everyone was really impressed. My mother has a gluten allergy and Brian took care to make sure that my mother had food that she could eat as well. The entire wait staff was on-point every second! I could go on and on about how perfect and amazing the Preston Woodall house and the staff are! I highly recommend the Preston Woodall House if you are planning the wedding of your dreams! Mine certainly was the wedding of my dreams! It is also really reasonably priced! I loved every second of my wedding weekend!

It was amazing to have Joel, the owner of the Preston Woodall House, not only hosting our rehersal dinner and wedding, but also Directing the wedding! He was able to help determine and give advice on the flow of the ceremony, where people needed to be, and what the best use of the space and facility was. He did well with comunicating with our bridal party and all of our guest with respect, kindness, but a sterness that made people confident in following his instructions. He did an awesome job! The weekend went amazingly smooth! Everything from the rehersal, to the rehersal dinner, to the wedding , and even the reception. He was there orchestrating over 250 guest and staff making the weekend as smooth and as stress free as it could possibly be!
Not only Joel (the owner), but the entire staff went above and beyond:
a. Helping to carry in decorations
b. Getting sprite and crackers late at night the night before the wedding when I (the bride) fell sick the day before the wedding.
c. Setting up all the decorations.
d. Being sure all of the details were taken care of so that we could enjoy friends and family.
The catering and meals were simply AMAZING! Not only the flavors and the taste of the food but the layout and presentation of the food was by far better than any restaurant or any other wedding (bride has been a part of 4 and groom a part of 5) that we have been to in the last 5 years that we have both lived in NC. We repeatedly get compliments from our guest in relation to how all the food was so delicious and presented so beautifully. The Chef, Brian, came out several times HIMSELF to be sure that everything met our standards of satisfaction and to ask if there was anything else that he could do or preopare! Needless to say there was absolutely nothing more that we could even fathom asking for. Brian is hands down one North Carolina's best kept secrets!!!

On October 9, I got engaged to a wonderful man who lives in Benson, NC. We wanted a small, intimate ceremony and did not hire a wedding planner. My mother and I did the planning. I found Preston Woodall House on Internet and my fiance and I met with Joel Hurley, co-owner, for a tour of the facility. We both loved what we saw and, fortunately, December 21 was available. From the moment I entered this beautiful, 1910 mansion and saw that photo of Scarlett O'Hara hanging in the foyer, I knew it would be perfect. I could see myself walking down that long staircase in the main house and into the arms of Rhett Butler. Since my mother and I are not familiar with NC, we relied HEAVILY on Mr. Hurley for recommendations for EVERYTHING, and I cannot thank him enough for his assistance. We used the minister he recommended, the DJ, the hair/makeup artist, the florist, and the bakery. We chose the Ultimate Destination Package, which gave us use of the Cora Lily Ballroom, the main house (5 bedrooms) and 3 on-site cottages. Instead of a rehearsal dinner, we opted for a Friday night cocktail hour(s) for out-of-town guests. Chef Brian Stillwaugh did a fabulous job with the hors d'oeuvres we selected (cheese display, spanikopitas, stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs topped with caviar, brochette, meatballs). The wedding and the reception dinner were held in the beautifully decorated 2,800 sq. ft. Ballroom, with plenty of room for the ceremony at one end and dinner/dancing at the other. For dinner we chose the chicken chardonnay and beef bourguignon as our entrees, and garlic mashed potatoes and zucchini stuffed with asparagus and julienne carrots. There were many to choose from and something for anybody's taste. Again, Chef Brian did a marvelous job. I rate our overall experience as excellent. I highly recommend Preston Woodall to anyone looking for a beautiful setting for their special event. Joel and his staff are friendly, flexible, and most accommodating.
I'm not sure if this is the place to review the food that was provided at Preston Woodall House for my wedding there on 21 December but here goes. On Friday night, December 20, my fiance and I opted for a cocktail party for out-of-town guests instead of a rehearsal dinner. We chose "heavy" hors d'oeuvres and the list of possibilities was amazing. Chef Brian Stillwaugh did a wonderful job with all our selections. We chose (1) spanikopitas; (2) brochettes topped with pesto, allouette cheese, and smoked salmon; (3) mushrooms stuffed with corn, cilantro, peppers, and asiago cheese; (4) pinwheels with cajun chicken, shrimp, roasted vegetables, ham and cheddar cheese, and smoked turkey and (5) deviled eggs topped with caviar. The reception dinner following the wedding the next day was equally as delicious. We chose the chicken chardonnay and beef bourguignon as our entrees, and garlic mashed potatoes, and zucchini stuffed with asparagus and julienne carrots. Breakfasts for the out-of-town guests was wonderful as well (scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, bacon, turkey sausage links, blueberry pancakes--my favorite--an assortment of fresh fruits, cereal, and piping hot coffee and tea). I would rate my overall experience as exceptional.

The Preston Woodall House is an exquisite venue with a lot to offer. My experience at the Preston Woodall House was nothing less than the best, and I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone. The house is beautiful, the staff is exceptionally kind and helpful, and the event ran more smoothly than I could have imagined. All of this was made possible with the help of Joel Hurley, the owner of the Preston Woodall House. Joel, along with the rest of his staff, did a wonderful job planning and preparing for this event. Another "Wow!" was the amazing food! Chef Brian is absolutely incredible and undeniably knew the way into my heart! ;)
Preston Woodall House made my dreams come true!

We were married at the Preston Woodall House on 10/12/13. We bought the entire weekend package that included rental of the three houses that surround the PWH. Our out of town guests and wedding party stayed the entire weekend and could not have asked for better accommodations. The wedding was gorgeous and the food delicious. Chef Brian is the bomb. The staff were very attentive and a pleasure to work with. Owner, Joel Hurley was also my wedding planner and my director and all I can say is it wouldn't have been as wonderful as it was without his help and guidance. PWH is the best place to have your wedding and reception.

The Preston Woodall House is a wonderful place to have a reception. It is so beautiful and from the outside- you would never guess it had a full sized ballroom inside. The price is great and catering, tables, chairs, linens and china is all done at the venue which really takes away a lot of the stress. The food is out of this world!!! Everyone at my reception loved it!

The staff was great and the house looked amazing! The chef made breakfast the morning of the wedding and then the food for the cocktail hour and the reception and it was AMAZING! The coordinator made sure things ran smoothly and even made sure we had plates of food at the reception before the guests got in line so we had a chance to eat! The staff were efficient in all of their tasks, polite and more than willing to help anywhere they could. My husband and I were staying the night in the bridal suite after the guests left and while the reception was going on the staff & chef cleaned the room from where the bridal party and i had gotten ready earlier in the day, prepared the room with candles, fresh towels, drinks and two loaded and warm plates of food from dinner. We were so surprised and so thankful because by the time the night ended we were starving! We loved everyone we worked with from the day we first toured the house until our big day!!!

The whole experience with Preston Woodall was outstanding. From the planning to the execution of our wishes. Our wedding wouldn't have been perfect without them. Joel Hurley was amazing and Phyllis treated us like family. Brian the chef is incredibly talented and welcoming. Mac stepped in and took over when our planner dropped the ball and got flustered. Mac probably saved our wedding from disorganization and Kim, our personal post-ceremony server was INCREDIBLE. She made us feel like real stars on our day...THANK YOU, PRESTON WOODALL FAMILY!!

Perfect. My wife and I had an absolute blast at our rehearsal dinner, wedding and reception at Preston Woodall House. We were there from Friday to Sunday morning and they were very hospitable, helpful and always attentive to our every need and want. Food was outstanding and Joel, Dale and Dianne were very professional and personable and we could not have asked for better hosts. Before the wedding they were very helpful in all aspects of planning and I am confident in recommending them to anyone. A+++

We are pleased to announce the forthcoming launch of Jerome Rothenberg's China Notes & the Treasures of Dunhuang. The book will be published in October, celebrating and reflecting on Rothenberg's travels throughout China. In anticipation, of this launch we present here today Rothenberg reading from the book last December 17 at Beyond Baroque in Venice, California. Gathered together with diverse voices (Jesse Glass, Catherine Daly, Bruna Mori, Daniel Sendecki) in order to celebrate and reflect upon the passing of poet Cid Corman, Jerome Rothenberg shared selections from his upcoming book from Ahadada.
The China Notes come from a trip in 2002 that brought us out as far as the Gobi Desert & allowed me to see some of the changes & continuities throughout the country. I was traveling with poet & scholar Wai-lim Yip & had a chance to read poetry in five or six cities & to observe things as part of an ongoing discourse with Wai-lim & others. The ancient beauty of some of what we saw played out against the theme park quality of other simulacra of the past. . . . A sense of beckoning wilderness/wildness in a landscape already cut into to serve the human need for power & control.
So Jerome Rothenberg describes the events behind the poems in this small volumea continuation of his lifelong exploration of poetry and the search for a language to invoke the newness and strangeness both of what we observe and what we can imagine.

Amy Hunter, wtop.com
WASHINGTON -- Kerry Walter is looking for an apartment. Ideally, she'd like a one-bedroom with a great kitchen, street parking and walking distance to a Metro. Also, no parquet floors.
Her budget: $1,500.
The 27-year-old D.C. resident has looked at a few places, and while she hasn't made a decision yet, she has come to one conclusion.
"I realized I'm gonna have to go above $1,500," she says. "I think I'm gonna have to forgo things. Unless the stars are aligned, I'm gonna have to forgo."
Housing experts would likely agree.
Rental rates in the D.C. region are the highest they've been in years, experts say. In fact, Bloomberg Businessweek recently ranked the District and parts of Northern Virginia as having the ninth-biggest rent hike in the country over the past year. Nearby Bethesda, Md. ranked 25th.
"It's a trend that's resulted from the recession," says Stephen Fuller, director of the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University. "The rental market has been so hot in Washington because we did generate jobs during the downturn and we attracted young people who came as renters. Many of them don't qualify for purchase of houses, or they want to live in an urban area closer to downtown."
According to Bloomberg, rent prices in the No. 9 area have seen a 7.4 percent annual increase, with a 4.6 percent vacancy rate. Added to that, unemployment rates have remained low, hovering around 6 percent.
While the recession ravaged other locales nationwide, Washington actually saw stability and some job growth. Because of that, folks who'd lost their homes or jobs in other areas came to D.C., filling up the city's apartments and ultimately, tightening the market enough to enable landlords to hike the rents, Fuller says.
"These are people who don't want to spend $500,000 on a house," he says. "They want to spend $2,000 a month on a rental. They're making a choice between owner and renting and where they want to rent. They want to live inside the Beltway, usually on public transportation, closer to where the nightlife is."
The trend is occurring nationwide, but at a slower rate, says Barbara Van Poole, a local realtor. She says nationally, the increase in people wanting to rent is driving rental rates higher, but that more people are renting because of the instability in the market.
"I think any time that there is an instability in the economy, people are more reticent to make a decision, and when that happens they put off buying. They're waiting for the economy to start showing signs of improvement before making a commitment," she says.
Poole says the steady increase in rental prices is actually a delayed reaction in the market. When the economy changes, it isn't immediately apparent in real estate. It takes a while for rates to start going up because units are occupied and under annual leases. As those leases come up, landlords are able to raise rents.
Walter, a WTOP employee who is just beginning her apartment search, isn't new to D.C. And she's not moving entirely by choice. Last March, she was notified that the owner of her 96-unit apartment complex was selling the building and the new owner would be doing major renovations. She could stay in her 500-square-foot studio apartment, which was rent-controlled at just under $1,000, but her rent would eventually go up by about $300.
The new owner offered occupants a buyout, and at $15,000, Walter decided to take hers and pay off some of her student loan.
"Once they've renovated my place, they'll be able to rent it for up to 97 percent more than I pay now," Walter says.
Walter's story is not unique.
"Now, there's a lot of rental construction," says Fuller. "That's the first part of the new housing boom. We have multi-family projects, several in Arlington, several in D.C., a new one has just started in Bethesda, and some condos as well."
The market, he explained, is responding to the demand for more rentals by creating them, which is what is happening at Walter's Connecticut Avenue home.
"These units won't be ready for 18 months, and by that point I suspect the rental market will have peaked. And new home construction, ownership units, will become desirable again," Fuller says.
For now, Fuller has some advice for people looking to rent in the current market. He advises folks not to look at places that are bigger than they need. Also, be flexible on amenities, such as complexes with swimming pools and gyms, which are going to cost more.

An ancient fishing settlement located in a small settlement located in a small cove between Tors Cove and Cape Broyle on the Southern Shore. The earliest extant record of Brigus South is a map naming it Abra de Brigas, which translates as "the harbor or roadstead of tumults, confusion."
It has been assumed that the earliest settlers of the community came to Brigus South via the earliest colonies of Ferryland and Cape Broyle, and that there was permanent settlement in the community by 1700. In the community's cemetery, which is among the oldest surviving on the Southern Shore, the oldest gravestone is dated 1798.
After 1800 a permanent population, partly the outgrowth of the first year round British settlement of the 1700s and partly made up of a new wave of Irish and English migration to Newfoundland, caused a new phase of settlement and growth in Brigus South. People that settled there went by the names of Power, Gregory, Doyle, Hayes, Battcock, and Walsh, names of the people who still live in Brigus South today.
In the 1960s the name of Brigus South was changed to Hillsdale to distinguish it from Brigus, Conception Bay. Local residents refused to acknowledge the new name and it was officially changed back to Brigus South six or seven years later.
The economy of Brigus South relied almost entirely on the inshore cod fishery. Because of the northern cod moratorium made in 1992 fishermen now rely on other types of sea creatures to make a living, mostly crab and scallops. Other people that live in Brigus South commute to other communities or to St. John's for work. Several people own cabins and small cottages in Brigus South and usually stay for the weekend or for an entire summer.
