http://webpagetest.org is also pretty good at measuring speed. It will also show you when page started to render in certain browser and what caused the delay. Great tool. Try it there and share your findings.
well you can check the load time for each module separately or images with the help of GT Metrix ...
Seems like media compression is going to need to be your priority. I'd also see if you can change anything to static HTML to see if you can reduce the overall queries being done to databases (like the links on the right). As a random side note, just for visual appearance, don't forget to change the alt tags on your images - they still have funky mouseovers ;)
One issue with page load speeds is your advertisements... this is something you really do not have much control over if your ad server or ad network is serving ads that are resource intensive. Is that true??? IS there a way to optimize ad loads and it effecting over-all page load times??
Your loaded in 2 or 3 seconds for me...
OK guys, lots of great suggestions here. Since the OP hasn't returned, let's put this one to bed. :)

text: Labour Is Still Under the Control of Trade Unions Print article Send a Tip by Alex Wickham 2 Mar 2014 post a comment This weekend the Labour Party held its so-called 'special conference', organised to give delegates a vote on a series of reforms concerning the party's relationship with trade unions. Members travelled from across the country to the conference hall in East London's Docklands, cramming themselves onto rail replacement buses after London Underground decided this would be the best day to cancel all trains to the venue. "Boris is sabotaging us," one delegate half-joked of the capital's Conservative mayor. My first encounter was with a megaphone-wielding woman representing the Trades Union Congress. Her protestations that "the Labour leadership is a disgrace" reverberated around my still hungover head. It was her contention that Ed Miliband, the Labour leader who last year promised he was "bringing back socialism", is still not socialist enough. Coffee in hand, I took my seat. A promotional video played on the giant screens at the front eulogising Neil Kinnock, the former Labour leader whose left-wing manifesto Miliband wants to emulate and whose electoral record the Tories want him to emulate. I had lost count of the number of pleas for delegates to fill empty seats by the time the Master of Ceremonies gave up and called the Labour leadership to the stage. Deputy leader Harriet Harman, who is under heavy pressure from all quarters of the media over her failure to apologise for her links to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) in the 1970s, received a rapturous round of applause. Harman, who along with her husband Jack Dromey stand accused of being apologists for child abuse, took her seat next to Miliband in a show of support. It caused much amusement that the pie shop at the venue closed for the day. Miliband stood up. "I want to thank you: local parties, trade unions, socialist societies," he began, quickly placating the crowd with some tried and tested attacks on Labour's opponents. "Remember that picture of the Conservative front bench: people from Eton, people from Harrow, not one woman," and then, "things are so bad for Lib Dems they're going the way of the telephone box". At least one person laughed. Nasal, wide-eyed and with a mouth full of teeth, Miliband recounted one of his famous anecdotes: "one lady asked me how do we persuade people Labour Party members are normal?" Taking a look at himself and his paedophile group-affiliated deputy might be a start. Eventually, he reached the end. "Vote for these reforms!" he urged delegates. "Vote for more stitch ups you mean," a man near me retorted loudly. The room rose to applaud their leader. One woman resolutely insisted "I'm not standing up." Then it was the turn of members to have their say. One by one they were called to the stage, laughing derisively as their host at one point asked "can I call the blonde woman in tweed?" Those called were mostly made up of sitting Members of Parliament, their wives, prospective candidates or trade union bosses. Actual grassroots members barely got a look in. "I don't get up in the morning to line my pockets," £127,000-a-year GMB union leader Paul Kenny fibbed. One Labour candidate told her future voters "dare I say it, parliament needs more people like me". Hardly the sort of thing to endear you to your electorate. The speaker of the day was a trade unionist party member who berated his leader, an awkward Miliband sitting just a few feet away. "We need more socialist policies," he shouted into his microphone, "I would like to call for the nationalisation of the commanding heights of the economy." And you thought UKIP's members were nutty. Then Len McCluskey was up. The powerful Unite union leader is a hate figure among the Right, perhaps despised more only by the Labour leaders whose authority he shows no respect for. The most popular speaker among delegates, McCluskey had no trouble convincing them to applaud Steve Deans, the Unite official condemned by Labour bosses for his role in the Falkirk vote-rigging scandal. Red Len finished up with a message for Miliband and a direct challenge to his authority: "this is our party and we're going nowhere." It was hard to tell at which point Miliband looked more annoyed: that statement from McCluskey or MP Keith Vaz's Freudian slip saying that McCluskey was Labour's leader. Labour's union reforms, backed wholeheartedly by the unions themselves, passed by an overwhelming 84% to 16%. These reforms do nothing to prevent union influence in Labour candidate selections, nothing to stop unions having influence over Labour policy, nothing to stop unions installing their preferred candidate as Labour leader. As McCluskey says, the reforms are "music to my ears". He was the winner from Labour's special conference.

Community mourns teens' deaths at church service
By Erin Gallagher Correspondent March 12, 2013 8:54PM
Mourners lit candles and blessed prayer shawls after the prayer service Tuesday for the Wilmington teens whose car was found inverted in a nearby creek. The shawls will be given to families if the victims. | Erin Gallagher~for Sun-Times Media

People who have experienced tragedy recognized the painful numbness that filled the Wilmington church Tuesday night.
For many of the young people, though, the loss of their friends was a new experience. Boys who struggle to be men fought back the tears. Girls held each other up. Parents consoled their children as they passed tissues between the rows.
The First United Methodist Church was filled during Tuesday's evening prayer service honoring the four Wilmington High students found in an upside down car in the creek earlier that morning. The victims, Micalah Sembach, Cheyenne Fender, Cody Carter and Matthew Bailey will not soon be forgotten.
"(Cody) was like a big teddy bear that would be there for your problems," said Sophomore John Widner. "I knew him since Kindergarten."
The teens were last heard from Monday afternoon. Many of their friends were on the bus that discovered the blue Mazda submerged in Forked Creek.
Sophomore Hailey Banks said she was up all night Monday with the search party. Her friend was on the school bus that discovered the car Tuesday morning. They arranged for the friend to call her if the bus came across any news.
"I was the one who called (Micalah's parents) when they found the car," she said. "She was literally my best friend and my sister."
Tears trickled down Jeremy Banks' face as he explained that Monday was his 14th birthday. Like his sister, Hailey, that was when they realized their friends were lost. Plus, it was their father's birthday Tuesday, the day they discovered the bodies. For them, a birthday will always be synonymous with the loss of their friends.
Grief did not discriminate.
The tall, athletic Wilmington High junior, J.D. Hale, 17, wore his purple monogrammed letterman jacket to the service. He was Cody Carter's first cousin.
"He's in a good place now, he's with God," Hale said. "I wish I could see him one more time to tell him I love him. I'll see him again one day."

Saoirse Ronan didn't read 'The Lovely Bones' before starring in the film. The 15-year-old actress - who plays the role of a murdered teenager Susie Salmon looking down on earth - avoided reading the emotional book because she felt she was not old enough to understand it properly.
She said: "When I did get the role, I waited to read it until after I'd made the film because I was a little too young to read it.
"I'd heard it was a tough read, especially the first chapter, with rape and murder. After reading it now, I realise that it is quite tough but I eventually did read it and it was beautiful.
"I thought that Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Phillippa Boyens did a great job adapting it." Sairse also admitted she didn't discuss the murder scene with her co-star Stanley Tucci before they filmed it. She told Teen Hollywood: "We didn't talk about it beforehand. I don't think Stanley really wanted to."

We had partnered with CORE (The Center for Organ Recovery and Education) to have a Rockin' the Donation Nation Concert in the Park. Our event was held on May 22, 2011. A representative from CORE was present to speak at our event, to answer questions, and sign up new organ donors. Along with the speaker from CORE there was also an organ recipient, a member from a donor family, and a living donor that spoke as well. We had 2 bands that definitely rocked the donation nation, free food, free t-shirts, and a free basket raffle. It was a beautiful day and the event went really well. We had 148 people attend, including some of our present patients, and some that have had successful transplants. Some of the people who attended were already organ donors, many received valuable information, and there were 14 new donors that signed up on site. CORE was thrilled, and so was our team. We were very proud to organize this event for our community, and we thank DCI for the opportunity.

Some fishing stories you hear, you believe because they're well known fishers. Others you just don't believe without a photo or video for proof. This 20 year old, Kirstin Hole of Britain caught an enormous catfish while fishing with her boyfriend. The fish being so big, she had to hug it just to show the size! Kirstin is 5'2" tall, the fish she is holding measured to be 7 feet in length and weighed 120 pounds. Now that is one big cat, could you imagine what she was thinking when the hook was set?
This young lady fought the catfish for an hour, until finally she was able to bring it to shore. This was a catch and release, all photos and weight was done with the help of nearby fisherman and her boyfriend. Although this may not be the biggest freshwater fish caught in the U.K., it is the biggest one to be caught by a woman!
Congratulations to Kirstin for setting new records in the fishing world.

I'm in the middle of making this, but I have some insights already! I am a bit rusty on patterns, but I found these instructions particularly unhelpful. There are more pattern pieces than you will use, so read carefully the top of the instructions that say which ones are needed (I saw it but didn't really understand that part). Keeping an eye out for that will save you from having to go out and buy more fabric that you really don't need.
I decided not to do the pocket for 2 reasons. The instructions didn't help and since I've never done a pocket before, I had no idea if what I was doing was correct. Secondly, the sizing was too big for me, so I needed to trim down extra fabric, and it worked best to do that on the font center piece of the skirt.
Also, I did find the instructions. They are under account → activity → pattern library.

Post Your Answer
2 :: How is the mesoderm (third germ layer) of triploblastic animals formed?
The mesoderm appears from differentiation of endodermal cells that cover the dorsal region of the archenteron.
Post Your Answer
3 :: What are the archenteron and the blastopore? What is the stage of the embryonic development in which these structures are formed? What are the destinations of the archenteron and of the blastopore?
Archenteron is the tube formed during gastrulation by means of invagination of the blastula wall inside the blatocele. It is the origin of the gastrointestinal tract. Blastopore is the opening of the archenteron to the exterior. The blastopore gives birth to one of the extremities of the digestive tube: the mouth in protostome beings, or the anus in deuterostome beings.
Post Your Answer
4 :: What is gastrulation? How during gastrulation are the first two germ layers formed? Which are these germ layers?
Gastrulation is the process through which a portion of the blastula wall undergoes invagination inside the blastocele forming a tube called archenteron (primitive intestine). The cells of the inner side of the tube form the endoderm (germ layer) and the cells of the outer side form the ectoderm (another germ layer). It is the beginning of the tissue differentiation in the embryonic development.
Post Your Answer
5 :: After the blastula stage what is the following stage of the embryonic development? How is the passage from blastula to the next stage called?
The blastula turns into gastrula in a process known as gastrulation.

There are basically two forms of incense:combustible and nocombustible.
We'll tackle the latter first, since it's by far the easiest method and requires little explanation.
No combustible incense is achieved by simply sprinkling a few pinches of dried plant material,
or a blend of materials, on a smoldering charcoal block. That's a charcoal block, not a charcoal
briquette used for the barbecue! Briquettes are of different composition, and give off toxic amounts
of carbon monoxide. Don't use them to burn incense! Instead, occult supply stores, and many
novelty shops carry a supply of raw charcoal blocks for this purpose.
While we're in a cautious mode, let it be said that you should always burn incense in some type
of censor. It could be a censor purchased just for this purpose, or a ceramic dish laid with a few
inches of sand or salt. Sometimes the sweet aroma of dried plant material can change dramatically
when burned! You'll need to experiment with blends you may already have in mind, or to discover
new ones. And, by using the no combustible method, your mistakes, if any, will be short lived.
I would also advise that you sample mixtures on smoldering charcoal before proceeding to making
them into combustible incense. The plant material to be used should be finely ground in a food
processor, blender, hand held coffee grinder, or an old fashioned mortar and pestle.
combustible incense is made in the form of sticks (sometimes called joss-sticks), bricks, or cones.
Whatever the volume and shape, combustible incense is always made with potassium nitrate,
better known as salt peter. This helps the incense to burn well, and evenly. You can find potassium
nitrate in nearly any drug store, although you may have to ask the pharmacist for it.
You will need thin wooden splints or skewers, such as thin, straight twigs, or cocktail skewers.
Each stick is dipped into the incense base until covered. They are then allowed to dry standing
on end, perhaps by poking them into a slab of clay, or a pot of dirt or sand. This process is
repeated until a satisfactory amount of layers have built up on each stick.
Block incense is made by rolling out the final mixture on wax paper to a 1/4 inch thickness -
much like cookie dough. Then cut into 1 inch squares and allow to dry thoroughly.
And there you have it! Not so tough, although you will get good use from a kitchen apron
while working the mixtures together! Now, on to some recommended blends, the first of
which is an ancient blend indeed.
Kyphi is an ancient Egyptian formula of which the Greek Essayist, Plutarch (46-120 AD) said:
"its aromatic substances lull to sleep, allay anxieties, and brighten the dreams. It is made of
things that delight most in the night and exhibits its virtues by night."
The following is a traditional recipe for making Kyphi. If you want to stick to it fine, but you
may also omit or substitute certain herbs if some of the ingredients are difficult to obtain.
Place 1/4 cup raisins in a bowl. Add just enough white wine to cover the raisins, cover
loosely with a tea towel or cheesecloth, and allow to steep for seven days.
On the third day, blend equal parts of the following powdered herbs in a bit of white wine: Juniper,
Acacia, Henna, Sweet Sedge Root. After two days drain and reserve any liquid.
On the last day, drain the raisin mixture, reserving the liquid. In a small bowl mix together equal
parts of the following ground herbs: Calamus, Gum Mastic, Peppermint, Bay Laurel, Orris,
Cinnamon, and Galangal. Set aside. In another small bowl blend together
1 tbls. powdered myrrh, and 1 tbls. clove honey. To this mixture add the ground herbs,
and the raisins and herbs steeped in wine. Blend well. Add a little of the reserved wine if
the mixture becomes too dry. Follow the directions for making cone or block incense.
This incense is used in many rituals and is a common spell component.
It is an incense of increase that is deceivingly easy to make.
Use all of your focus and energy, your will and intention, while making this scent.
It is used over charcoals (the one's specifically made for incense) or over a ritual fire.
CAUTION! Warning and Yikes! If used over a ritual fire, flames will leap up along the
dust trail of this incense powder! There will be sparkling (sparks) of incense outside
of this trail of flames as well! This is an impressive effect, but dangerous if you are
not practiced at it! Start out small and toss about 1 teaspoon of it over the glowing
coals or flames, all at once, don't trail the dust or sprinkle it. Stand away from the fire,
and upwind. Use in areas that do not require burn permits, and have something to
douse the fire nearby. Do not use if you are wearing gauzy or loose ritual robes and costumes.
Within the three days prior to the actual full moon, but not after! Gather the ingredients
required, along with a pestle and mortar to
blend them in. If desired, you can use your cauldron, and some sort of crushing or mixing tool.
1 ounce (about 30 grams) of the finest sandalwood powder you can find (santalum album)
5 grams (a marble sized nugget) of amber resin, NOT the stone! The soft, sweet
smelling resin that is often imported from India, available at health food stores,
and of course herb and Witch shops.
3 drops of vanilla essential oil. NOT the perfume or fragrance oil, only
true vanilla from the orchid (Vanilla planifolia or Vanilla aromatica) If this is cost
prohibitive or unavailable, use real vanilla extract
available at most any grocery store. Preferably outside, under the actual full moon,
or indoors near a window where the moon is visible:
Fill the mortar or cauldron with the sandalwood powder, and crush the amber
into it with the pestle or tool of your choice. Use clockwise or deosil blending motions.
Focus on the energy of the full moon, or if you are making the incense for a specific spell,
focus on the goal of that spell alone. You can incorporate your favorite words of power or
chant while doing this. When the powder is smooth and consistent, add the vanilla, one
drop at a time while saying your chosen words of power, (which is best) or the following
(which will suffice in most cases): Drop of moon, grant my boon.
Blend in the drops in the same way you blended in the amber resin. Place the mixture in
a clear glass jar with an airtight lid. Keep it away from heat, sunlight, and moisture.
Charge it under the light of the full moon on the three days prior to it becoming actually full.
The full moon light penetration is the reason for not storing this in an opaque jar.
It is ready for use immediately, but can be charged more if desired.
Gum tragacanth (or use gum Arabic as a substitute) is made into a glue, and acts as a binding agent.
It is the key ingredient in all molded incense. To make the glue, place a teaspoon of the ground gum
in a glass of warm water and mix completely until dispersed. A foam may rise, but it can be easily
redistributed, or skimmed off if it gets in your way. (The gum is unbelievably absorbent! A mere
ounce will absorb up to one full gallon of water in a single week!) Allow your gum mixture to
absorb the glass of water until it thickens to a paste.
Now you will need to create your incense base. An incense base is made up of talcum powder,
sawdust, ground spice, dried herbs and flowers, or any combination thereof. Once you have
defined your base, an essential oil may be added for additional scent, the potassium nitrate
is blended in, and finally, the gum-glue.
Here's a sample mixture for cone incense:
--6 parts powdered sandalwood or cedar 2 parts benzoin 1 part orris root
--3-5 parts ground herb mixture of choice 6 drops essential herbal oil of choice
Mix the first four ingredients until well blended. Add the essential oil (or combination of oils) and
mix with your hands until you have a fine, crumbly mixture. Add the dried herb mixture and
mix again. Now add 10% potassium nitrate (KNO3). In other words, use a ratio of 10:1.
If you've made 10 oz. of incense base, then add 1 oz. of KNO3.
Next comes the addition of the glue mixture. Add one teaspoon at a time, mixing with your
hands as you go. Add only enough of the glue to achieve the consistency of model clay
or play dough from the entire mixture.
On a piece of waxed paper, shape the mixture into small cone shapes (just like the store bought
ones you're already familiar with) and allow them to dry for a week in a cool, dry place. The area
you choose to dry the incense cones in must be free of moisture in order to dry thoroughly.
By following the sample recipe given, you can also make stick incense.
Although, this requires much more patience and tenacity than making any other form.
Plan to spend the better part of a day in making these.

8 oz. lavender flowers 4 oz. dried rose petals
1 tb. crushed cinnamon 1 ½ tsp. crushed cloves
1 tb. gum benzoin 6 drops of lavender eo
2 drops of rose eo 2 drops of bergamot eo
2 drops of ylang ylang eo 2 drops of sandalwood eo
1 tsp. powdered vanilla bean 1 tsp. powdered orris root
(all ingredients are dried):
4 cups lavender flowers 1 cup mixed culinary herbs, such as oregano, basil,
thyme and rosemary ½ cup southernwood
2 cups pink rosebuds and petals 1 cup spearmint
¼ cup chopped orris root or other fixative mixed with 1 tsp. essential lavender oil.
combine all ingredients and store in a glass jar or zip lock bags for 2 - 4 weeks to
allow it to blend. Display in pretty glass or ceramic bowls, or put into sachets or sacks.
This just does something to people and I can't figure out what it is.
They totally love the scent and go absolutely wild over it.
I've used the recipe in simmering potpourri, soap and other things.
It works in almost anything and is simple to make.
--1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon and a half of rose oil
--1 teaspoon and a half of lavender oil
--One chamomile tea bag (empty the bag into your bowl)
--4 good shakes of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of coriander 1 bowl 1 spoon
Measure out all the dry ingredients into your bowl.
Add your energy into them by mixing the ingredients with your fingertips.
When you feel they are well mixed and you are content, add the oils and other liquid
ingredients and mix with a spoon until all dry ingredients are damp.
Use as needed...simmer with water as potpourri or..use it however you wish.
When I made this I simply couldn't get the smell off my hands. Not for days.
No matter how many times I washed. But when I made it into bath salts and soap
the smell hardly showed up at all. It only seems to show up when you seem to need it
and then a person can't get enough of it and they smell it and smell it until it's ALL they smell.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Mets will honor late broadcaster Ralph Kiner by wearing a uniform patch all season and having an on-field ceremony on opening day.
The commemorative patch will be located on the right sleeve of the team's jerseys in spring training and the regular season.
Kiner, who joined the Mets' broadcast team in the club's inaugural season of 1962 after a 10-year Hall of Fame playing career, died on Feb. 6 at age 91.
On March 31, the Mets will celebrate Kiner's life during a pregame ceremony before their opening game against Washington at Citi Field. The ceremony will include a video tribute and the unveiling of the commemorative logo on the left field wall.
The Mets say Kiner's children, Michael, Scott, K.C., Tracee, and Kimberlee, will participate in the ceremony.
Kiner, one of the most beloved figures in franchise history, announced games on television and radio for 52 years and hosted a popular postgame show called "Kiner's Korner."

Linux chief calls for FAT-free Microsoft diet
Lose FAT FS get FitFS
It was obvious from the moment MS patented aspects of FAT with vague promises not to sue anyone who used it, that the bloated behemoth was punting porkies. Its lawsuit against the relatively tiny Tom-Tom is the proof of the podgy pudding.
Seems like no target is too small when it comes to protecting MS's copious quantities of blubberware. Probably explains why in 30 years their record on file system interoperability has been skinny to say the least: by default you can't even plug an ext3 or OS X disk into a MS OS-ridden computer without it choking on the wholesomeness within.
What FAT has got going for it is its scalability - any sort of titchy embedded computer can pile on FAT with minimal effort, a mere few Kbytes of a driver; almost no RAM and it can instantly develop an insatiable appetite for files. Whatever we replace FAT with has to be that versatile.
Anyway, first thing is, we need a name, so how about FitFS? The great thing about FitFS is that it's simple, Flash Friendly and has a positive, recursive Acronym: FitFS Is The File System!
And most importantly, FitFS isn't FatFS! All we need is a spec now, a slim one - after all, we should start how we mean to continue!

25 years of Mac - the good, the bad, and the cheese grater
The Mac had better be good...
My enduring comment is from my March (I think) 1984 review of the Macintosh (before it was renamed the Macintosh 128) in Personal Computer World magazine. It starts
"The Mac had better be good, or the company might not survive..."
The diametric opinions started then, at the launch. I remember letters to the magazine decrying mice ("it's so much faster to type "DIR<cr>" than pick up the mouse, move, double-click, move hands to keyboard!").
It was two years before I got to use one, but for my money it was already the future of computing. Always has been!
Happy birthday Macintosh!

The Lesser Known GUI
NLS begat the Xerox Alto, The Mac... and Alto's far lesser-known crazy cousin Lilith from ETH in Switzerland. But although you can't get a working emulator for the Xerox Alto; a micro-code level emulator for the Lilith 16-bit/128K experimental workstation came out properly last week!
Find out about Lilith; download Emulith to your 1GHz Linux box and start GUI programming in Niklaus Wirth's* MODULA-2 now! You'll be amazed at how much power is required to emulate a 7MHz computer ;-)

RISC daddy conjures Moore's Lawless parallel universe
Back to the mid-80s
So, let's get this straight - Patterson, who kick-started RISC architectures in the early 80s is talking up new paradigms of parallel processing, a hot topic from the mid-80s.
Thing is, we solved it in the mid-80s, with the INMOS Transputer. INMOS was therefore sold off by the Tories as soon as possible. The Transputer was pure genius since it was able to easily map programs that ran internally on a simulated multi-processor to an actual multi-processor environment: so the language encouraged parallel programming and it scaled from 1 to 1000s of devices.
Let's do a bit of Math. The early Transputers ran at 20MHz (giving 20 simple MIPS of performance) and probably had about 100K transistors in them each with at least 4K of on-chip RAM (+off chip too). In 1989 I ran my dissertation project on a 9-transputer rack giving me: 20*9=180MIPS of performance.
Let's scale that by 2 decades. Instead of 20MHz we have 3GHz ( x 150) and instead of 100K transistors we have 2 billion transistors (x200). That's equivalent to 20*150*200 = an astonishing 600,000 MIPS of performance / Transputer (with an internal memory equivalent to 800K). My equivalent transputer rack would have 4.9TIPS of power!
Instead we decided to base the future of computing on the (literally) back-of-an-envelope design which has set us back 20 years. I'll grab my coat.
-cheers from julz @P
What if computers went back to the '70s too?
DEC: PDP-8 Family Computers
Minicomputers are truly fascinating, not least because they kicked-off the trends towards smaller, more affordable computers, but also because they set the scene for todays computers.
I'm fortunate, I have a microvax-II and a pdp-11 on which I ran the RT-11 (MSDOS-ish) operating system and Fig-Forth until the 36A PSU blew-up! It's amazing what people tolerated for computers and how much usefulness they squeezed out of such puny hardware. I love the way the processors are on hundreds of seemingly identical DIL chips; connected by thousands of wires strewn across multiple, enormous circuit boards. I love them so much I have a design for an original-speed Nova clone in roughly 10 DIL ICs; complete with a toggle-switch front panel. I'd build a Novella(tm) computer for anyone who was interested ;-) !
But DEC were certainly calling their crazy 12-bit PDP-8 machines computers as early as 1966 as the wikipedia article documents!

Intel apologises for 'inappropriate' iPhone critique
A FUD too far.
We've had 30 years of the same old, same old Intel Compatibility mantra they had to cook up for the original back-of-an-envelope x86 design; because they weren't able to design a truly new architecture in the 1980s. Or is just envy, because a small team of Brits did an order of magnitude better job than an army of Yanks ;-) ?
Anyway, the whole point of compiled languages, scripts, open media formats and the internet is that it gives us architecture independence. So to trumpet something that takes us away from that is exactly what the industry doesn't need now or in the future. And to back it up by saying Flash is tweaked for x86 is really saying Adobe has anti-competitive market bias: they're more interested in running Flash on hundreds of millions of x86 desktops than billions of phones. That's the real question shareholders should ask.
But let's recap on reality. Flash has run on ARM for years and Adobe has made (or did make) an effort to port it properly:
I know, I was the lead developer for the Symbian OS application News Express, and it ran OK several years ago.
Which I guess brings us back to the beginning. Rapping non x86 CPUs because they didn't run your code was a working argument 20 years ago; mocking them because they run code slower fosters a certain amount of healthy competition; deriding your clients for trying to be fair is a FUD too far even for the Intel CEO.
Or is it just envy ;-) ?
-cheers from Julz @P

Dawkins' atheist ad campaign hits fundraising target
BHA: British Humorless Association.
"I much prefer the atheists of the French Revolution, who went around cemeteries putting "death is an eternal sleep" on the gates."
These are the cemeteries for the tens of thousands they guillotined I presume.
This tack (and tacky) campaign by the BHA is the classic response of people who feel like their power-base is slipping through their grasp. In the days when the church dominated the belief landscape of the country atheists encouraged people to question religion.
And that's fine, millions did. But the church asks us to raise questions (as, for example, in the Alpha Course) the BHA jumps in free-thought lock-down mode. "God's not likely, so don't start asking questions, just get on with life!"
Thankfully, they've got a long way to go before they start wheeling out the guillotines.
Paris, because she really does prove how gracious God is!
Baptist church in assault rifle giveaway
It's a Baptism of Firepower
Well, those US Baptists sure know how to dunk themselves in controversy.
But it's not like that's unusual, I've known of Texan Baptist churches that have given away rifles in raffles (perhaps the pronunciation in Texan drawl makes for a natural connection ;-) ). Or maybe it's just more like they think the second amendment applies to the Bible even more than the US Constitution.
Or to quote from a recent theological commentator "They preach the Gospel, but they depart from it."
Apple buys chip maker
St. George would cry!
Woah Tony - where did you get this idea from?
"Different generations of ARM processor, and versions from different manufacturers, are often incompatible at the binary level, forcing developers essentially to create entirely separate versions of their apps for each CPU they use in their hardware."
It's perfectly possible to treat ARM CPUs as upwardly compatible from ARM2 (with 26-bit addressing) to CortexA8. I should have some idea, I've been developing for StrongArm/XScale/OMap/Samsung/Philips Arm-based devices for 8 years.
We think that x86 is inherently compatible, but that's just an illusion due to its ubiquity - people invest a great deal of effort in adapting compilers and developing layers of emulation to mask decades of stupid design. Otherwise, why did it take until Windows '95 before PC users could easily run 32-bit software designed for the 386 which appeared 10 YEARS earlier?
Our investment in x86 is literally an anti-competitive waste of energy: near-monopolised product sources; slow boot ups; hot CPUs; massive transistor counts; expensive fabs.
In comparison, ARM is a dream come true. Highly compatible for over 2 decades; almost entirely upward compatible for over 12 years; versatile beyond belief from the CortexM1 (which packs 486 power into 8086 transistor counts) to CortexA9 (which packs Atom performance into Pentium transistor counts with milliwatt energy consumption). And it's got a better, wittier name; not something plagiarised from a puny (but clever) 8-bit computer that launched the company that created ARM in the first place.
So there's nothing around that's better than ARM: that's why it's outselling x86 by a factor of 10. And it's British. And it's St. George's day by Harry, so there's no excuse.
["It's always Thumb™s up for ARM!"]
Can the Atom help Intel's CEO meet otherworldly demands?
Only a decade late.
Otellini "Netbooks is a category that we invented less than a year ago and talked about publicly for the first time less than six months ago. And now it has become a category that is the hottest thing on the market today."
Strange, for a newly invented product it's already been around for a while. For example, I've got one that's already 9 years old.
It's got a StrongArm processor in it. You know: ARM, the kind of thing Intel doesn't do (but did) partly because it's less familiar (though orders of magnitude more popular) but mostly because Intel only does the Hottest things on the market.
Not the coolest.
ARM to bash 'non-issue' Intel with multi-core chip
Letting Go!
It makes perfect sense that people would want to shove x86 into the the embedded area and bust a billion guts in the engineering effort to make it happen.
But x86 is junk, so why bother?
And x86 binary compatiblity is irrelevent, because we are not living in 1979. As Alisdair Rawsthorne (the boss of Transitive Technology) once said to me: "Let me put it to you that Instruction sets are not the future."
ARM is the proof of that: most ARM processors run at least 2 instruction sets and the future ones will run at least 3 (ARM / Thumb2 / Jazelle). While Intel spend zillions on making creaking 70s ideas work in the 21st Century, Arm spend orders of magnitudes less on defining computing's true future: One that uses less money, less energy, less CO2.
So, scrap the obsession with x86, let go of the past that hinders so much! Embrace the future with every Arm available!
Church hall bans 'unchristian' yoga for nippers
Breathe deeply now
It's refreshing to see such a tirade of insults, anger, vitriol, condemnation, accusations, obscenities, mockery and all round hatred pouring out of the hearts of our commentators here.
I didn't know there was so much love to be found outside of Christian circles, but now I know and I'm sure in the light of it, Silver Street Baptist may probably revise their opinion of toddler yoga.
Meanwhile, I recall an invisible friend of mine who said "Love your enemies." So, breathe deeply now and feel the blessings coming your way.
Be blessed, love from Julz.
Solar-powered ion drive asteroid probe set for launch
Getting picky!
With regard to:
"Lift-off" SMART-1 of course got into orbit via a chemical rocket, but it's still the only spacecraft (AFAIK) to travel from there to another body using an Ion drive.
"Pounds and Ounces": Hmm, "approx 0.3 ounces" translates into mN accurate to 4 decimal places? If we want to be more accurate, 0.02lb should be more like 89mN, not 92mN.
Ion Drive
Dawn uses Chemical rockets to reach escape velocity, so SMART-1, which reached escape velocity entirely by ION propulsion still has the edge!
Also, what's all this "0.02lb" nonsense? At the very least you should consider the other 95% of the planet that doesn't use Imperial* measurements. Hang on, I'll save you the trouble.. 0.02lb, that's er 2.2lb => 1Kg, or 9.81N at sea level. So, 0.02lb is: 0.1N, impressive, Smart-1 only managed 68mN.

- Release Date: Jan 22, 2008
- Summary: In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, players compete in events that take place in environments based on the official venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Using a supporting cast of characters from the worlds of both Mario and Sonic, gamers compete as or against a range of lovable personalities including Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails and more. Innovative usage of the Wii and DS control systems to maneuver a favorite character allows players to race the likes of Mario and Sonic down the 100m track, engage in exhilarating rallies in table tennis and churn water in a swimming heat, all while competing for the much sought after gold medal.

Score distribution:
Positive: 10 out of 33
Mixed: 23 out of 33
Negative: 0 out of 33
Overall, though, Mario and Sonic At the Olympic Games has its weight in gold medal, moreso than the other, flawed console version. Its gameplay, multiplayer options and presentation will hit the spot with Olympians and fans of their games everywhere.
As for now, Mario & Sonic showcases an assortment of good and mediocre mini-games and winds up with a silver medal.
While the Wii version offers inferior controls, ultimately the console-TV multiplayer experience is something that the DS version cannot match. While the DS version is technically better, the Wii version offers more potential for spontaneous chaos and fun.
If you're looking for a more competent take on gaming-mascot Olympics, go with the DS version. But if you're looking for a casual party game, go with the Wii version -- it's just not the same without trash-talking all the Sonic furries.
At best, it's a nice-looking distraction with some much-loved characters, and at worst, it's a sometimes dull and occasionally exasperating minigame collection on a platform full of better, cheaper minigame collections.
It's a pretty average and short-lived collection of immaculately presented mini-games that are shallower than a gnat's bidet.
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 10
Mixed: 6 out of 10
Negative: 1 out of 10

This will discuss how to avoid the CPU throttling done by Intel SpeedStep and AMD Cool 'n' Quiet.
1: Find out what your CPU speed is.
If you don't know rightclick on "My Computer" and click "Properties".
About 2/3 down it says:
Dell Latitude D630
Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU
T7500 @ 2.20GHz
The 2.2GHz is what we're looking for.
2: Open VMware global configuration fine (config.ini)
Location is:
Windows XP / Windows Server 2000 / 2003:
%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini
Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008:
C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini
"VMware Workstation" needs to be replaced if that is not the product used.
3: Edit config.ini
3 lines needs to be copied to the config.ini file:
host.cpukHz = "2200000″ host.noTSC = "TRUE" ptsc.noTSC = "TRUE"
The cpu speed is listed in kiloherz, and your CPU is most likely listed in gigaherz where we looked it up.
Multiply the gigaherz with 1.000.000 (1 million) and you have your speed in kiloherz.
The value above is for 2.2 GHz. If you have 2.4 GHz for instance, just replace the "22″ with "24″.
4: Make sure time synchonisation is enabled on client. Double click the VMware tools icon in "Notification Tray" and select the "Options" tab. Make sure "Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system"
5: Restart VMware Authorization service Click Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services Rightclick VMware Authorization and choose Restart
Start up your Virtual Machine now and you should experience better CPU speeds.
