On this latest To Be Eaten release, the band proves once again that it can play razor-precise riffs and rhythms while infusing each song with a level of nuance and atmosphere not often heard in anything this heavy. The guitar and rhythms interlock for a savage, almost stridently brutal sound, and yet you always come away from this record feeling energized and not merely angry. Intelligent lyrics informed by a sharp social conscience and compassion add an uncommon depth and edginess to In the Clearing that would be the envy of any rock band. That, coupled with To Be Eaten's notable efforts to push aesthetic barriers as far as possible, make Clearing a truly artistic breakthrough.

Listen: Inhofe Says He Will Call for Investigation on "Climategate" on Washington Times Americas Morning Show
November 23, 2009
Posted by Matt Dempsey email@example.com
Note: This post will be updated throughout the day.
Update: The Hill: Inhofe to call for hearing into CRU, U.N. climate change research
Update: Inhofe Talks with Hot Air's Ed Morrissey about "ClimateGate"
IBD Editorial: The Day Global Warming Stood Still
Link to 2005 Inhofe Senate Floor Speech: "Today, I will discuss something else – scientific integrity and how to improve it. Specifically, I will discuss the systematic and documented abuse of the scientific process by an international body that claims it provides the most complete and objective scientific assessment in the world on the subject of climate change – the United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. I will conclude with a series of recommendations as to the minimum changes the IPCC must make if it is to restore its credibility."
Listen: Inhofe Says He Will Call for Investigation on "Climategate"
Interview on Washington Times America's Morning Show
Transcript From Inhofe Radio Interview
Monday, November 23, 2009
Senator Inhofe: This is a huge issue and of course we have the Gitmo issue and we have the, of course, cap-and-trade is now taking a new turn. Jed, if I could…
Jed Babbin: Yeah.
Senator Inhofe: Would you let me make one sentence?
Jed Babbin: Please.
Senator Inhofe: This is out of a speech that I made, Melanie, back on the floor of the Senate, and it was repeated, John Gizzi picked it up and put it in Human Events. This was 4 years ago, in talking about the science, cooking the science. I said I would discuss the "systematic and documented abuse of the scientific process by which an international body that claims it provides the most complete and objective science assessment in the world on the subject of climate change, the United Nations IPCC." Now that was four years ago; so we knew they were cooking the science back then, and you've been talking about the, you know, what's happened recently with the bloggers coming up with what they did, what they…
Jed Babbin: Let me interrupt you there Senator, because I think that's a really important point. Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't followed that story, what Senator Inhofe's talking about, in Britain, a blogger got into some of the official government records about climate change and how the measurements were being taken to show…
Melanie Morgan: And the politics behind it.
Jed Babbin: And the – well but they were basically saying, "Oh yea, hey, let's make it look like Jim so-and-so did that, and let's help him cook the books, and let's change the data…"
Melanie Morgan: And "let's beat up those who don't agree with us."
Jed Babbin: Yea, but it's all a huge fraud! I mean, Senator, am I exaggerating?
Senator Inhofe: No you're not. If you remember, mine was the hoax statement, and that was, what, five years ago I guess.
Jed Babbin: Well, we ought to give you a big pat on the back for being …
Melanie Morgan: Yea, you deserve an an 'atta boy, and now you are finally being vindicated.
Senator Inhofe: Well, on this thing, it is pretty serious. And since, you know, Barabara Boxer is the Chairman and I'm the Ranking Member on Environment and Public Works, if nothing happens in the next seven days when we go back into session a week from today that would change this situation, I will call for an investigation. 'Cause this thing is serious, you think about the literally millions of dollars that have been thrown away on some of this stuff that they came out with.
Melanie Morgan: So what will you be calling for an investigation of?
Senator Inhofe: On the IPCC and on the United Nations on the way that they cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not.
Jed Babbin: Should somebody stop further spending on this until we get this investigation, Senator?
Senator Inhofe: Well, I don't know how you do that, though, 'cause we're not the ones that are calling the shots. The interesting part of this is it's happening right before Copenhagen. And, so, the timing couldn't be better. Whoever is on the ball in Great Britain, their time was good.
Melanie Morgan: Well, Senator, thank you very much for coming back and handling a little bit, a tiny little bit of heat from the kitchen.
Senator Inhofe: Okay.
Jed Babbin: Thanks very much Senator.
Senator Inhofe: Thanks, you bet.
Jed Babbin: Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma on the Environment Committee over there, and one of the real fighters.
Melanie Morgan: He certainly is…

As the Middle East - and Muslims around the world - complete the celebration of Eid al Adha, it is important to remember that there are almost 200 men who just "celebrated" their tenth Eid behind bars in the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with no end in sight to their imprisonment.
Two of those men are my clients, Kuwaiti citizens Fawzi al Odah and Fayiz al Kandari. Both are being held in "indefinite detention without trial", a category previously unknown under US law until it was adopted by the Obama administration, despite President Obama's claims that he wants to close Guantanamo.
There are many tragic mysteries about Guantanamo, but the one that puzzles me most is why these two Kuwaitis remain there.
Obama administration officials say that they would like to release more prisoners, but cannot find countries to accept them. Yet the government of Kuwait, at the highest levels, has repeatedly asked President Obama and the US government to return the Kuwaiti citizens.
Kuwait has agreed to every US government demand for their conditions of return, including the establishment of a state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre and program to help Fawzi and Fayiz reintegrate into Kuwaiti society after their decade-long ordeal.
Indefinite detention without trial 'directly contradicts' US legal philosophy [GALLO/GETTY]
Today, the centre still sits empty, as the government of Kuwait patiently and diligently awaits for a response from the US government.
One wonders why. Is it that the current administration lacks the willpower or political prowess to release the detainees? Or could it be that the United States is afraid that Kuwait has an independent judiciary that respects individual civil liberties, so that Kuwait cannot simply lock Fawzi and Fayiz up upon their return and throw away the key?
The idea of indefinite detention without trial directly contradicts the laws and philosophy upon which the United States was built.
As Kuwait continues to open its doors, hearts and minds to the US government, when will the trust be recognised that Kuwait only wants what is best for its citizens, while ensuring that the relationship between the two countries remains strong?
Ask yourself, if this were your family, would these policies be something you could live with, or should there be pressure put on the current US administration to follow through with the promises it has made Kuwait and many other nations over the past three years?
I pray our questions are answered, allowing Fawzi and Fayiz to be with their loved ones in time for the next Eid.
David J Cynamon is a partner at Pillsbury Winthrop in Washington DC and represents the remaining Kuwaiti detainees at Guantanamo Bay. In September 2007, he was named Litigator Of The Year by the Washington Business Journal.

Winter Weight Loss
Healthier Ways to Hibernate This Winter
The frigid weather and shorter days may make you want to hide out until spring. Here's how to give into that instinct without packing on pounds
Stay Cozy Without Kicking Your Healthy Habits
Stay active at home
Stay aware of your eating habits
Stock up on warm, comforting healthy foods
Stay hydrated
Stay aware of your eating habits
If you're home for prolonged periods of time, your instinct may be to graze continuously. "Keep a food journal," Frechman says. "It will help you identify problems. You may be snacking too much and not realize you're doing it." When you're homebound, it becomes easy to down an entire bag of snacks throughout the course of a day, or even in a single sitting, if you're not careful. To avoid falling prey to these seemingly bottomless bags, portion out your servings in advance, Frechman suggests. (Related: DIY Snack Packs) This way, when you reach for a snack, you'll know you won't go overboard. She also urges people to keep an eye on the scale. Studies show that individuals who weigh themselves regularly are less likely to gain weight and more likely to lose weight.

I wanted to share my porch decorating ideas with you! I LOVE my back porch, and last summer I gave it a porch makeover. I needed to come up with some smart budget decorating ideas. We needed to pay for our summer vacation after all!
So, after looking for flea market finds, painting some unfinished furniture, and purchasing plants, we had a whole new porch!
If you are wanting to save money on your porch makeover, buying unfinished furniture is the way. I painted this Adirondack loveseat with Behr outdoor latex paint.
I shopped at the flea market for smaller pieces of accent furniture. I wanted them to look worn and dated, and better yet, I didn't have to do any painting! The table in front of the loveseat is an old piano bench that I paid $15 for!
Every porch needs a rocker! I purchased two unfinished rockers and painted them a dark green to give some contrast to the white furniture and gray floor.
What porch is complete without a swing? There is something so nostalgic about a swing! I will warn you, painting this was no easy task! I was one happy camper when it was finished!
I want to share with you one of my favorite porch decorating ideas! It is what makes my porch spectacular in the evening!
Isn't this romantic? I used grapevine and outdoor Christmas lights! Craft stores now sell grapevine in a bag that is much more pliable than if you pulled apart a grapevine wreath.
I used a staple gun to attach the grapevine, but if you have a metal porch you can use 3M adhesive hooks.
Once the grapevine has been attached you can add greenery. I actually like to change it up with the seasons. In the spring and summer I use greenery and flowers, in the fall I add leaves, and in the winter I add red berries to the grapevine.
You can buy a bush of flowers, and then just clip them into smaller pieces and weave them into the grapevine. It is so gorgeous lit up in the evening!
Don't forget about candles! Here I placed a square mirror underneath each candle to reflect more light.
Don't buy an expensive lamp for your porch. Between the pollen, rain, and overall outdoor dust, it will get dirty quickly, especially the shade.
A wreath is a perfect accessory for your porch. I change out my wreaths with the seasons.
I found these pillows at T.J. Maxx. Then I was so excited to find ribbon the same color as my "smile" pillow! Now, this is a happy porch!
When you are choosing your porch decorating accessories, don't overdo it. It is easy to get your porch cluttered quickly. Less is more when it comes to porch decor.
Your porch is a great place to have some fun and whimsical signs!
I love hand-painted and vintage looking signs! They add just the right touch to any porch decorating.
I found these antique glass insulators at the flea market. I placed them all around my porch.
Baskets are another one of my favorite cheap decorating ideas. I found this one at the flea market. It is perfect for holding magazines.
Live plants add the perfect touch! Again, don't go overboard and make your porch look like a jungle. Don't leave your plants in plastic containers; buy interesting pottery.
Buy different size live plants. I purchased two of the same kinds to place on both sides of the loveseat. My father made this beautiful, rustic birdhouse.
Always keep healthy plants on your porch. If they are starting to die and turn brown replace them. Nothing looks sadder than dying plants.
When decorating outdoor spaces, don't forget to add some color with fabrics. The pillows I chose for my porch have a little beach style.
I change out my pillows often. I'm a bit of a pillow addict!
An outdoor rug just warms up the space. I found this raffia outdoor rug at Trees -n- Trends for under $20! When it gets dirty, I just hose it off.

I'm a writer who captures the pulse of adolescent confusion in my Young Adult fiction, Sliding on the Edge and The Princess of Las Pulgas. Of course, I often reveal a lot of my Old Adult confusion while doing that. My first Middle Grade fantasy titled Alligators Overhead went out to good reviews, so I wrote a sequel. I swore that would never happen. So much for swearing. Evernight Teen is publishing my next Young Adult novel called Sudden Secrets.

New Book Thursday Features How to Publish and Promote Your Book Now. Her Grammarness Hugs a Few Clichés
14 comments:
In like Flint?ReplyDelete
Congratulations to Diane!
This guy I ran into said he could publish and distribute my book from his van. Sounded legit.ReplyDelete
I must admit, the new book is nice but with resources like Susan Kaye Quinn's self-pubbing tips, Elana Johnson's marketing tips, Maria Zannini's Punch List all being available for free at their blogs, it has a lot of free competition out there to contend with. I'm sure it will do well.ReplyDelete
Also, a cliche in one hand is a conundrum in another. The meaning can vary depending on the book.
Sounds like a book any writer should have!ReplyDelete
Cliches make me want to SCREAM!ReplyDelete
Self pub books are always welcome in the indie world. I usually hire someone to format for me, but one of these days...
Sounds like a good book. I'm really into building my author platform after reading Chuck Sambuchino's book on writer platform. He's from Guide to Literary Agents/Writer's Digest. I'm interviewing him next Wednesday and giving away a copy of his book.ReplyDelete
Congrats to Diane. I'll have to check out her book.
I've seen Diane's book everywhere recently. Good luck to her!ReplyDelete
Cliches are definitely a problem. People get used to communicating with others in the quickest, easiest way. Our speech is often laced with cliches because everyone understands them -- they're efficient. But they're death to a novel. Ugh...
Spunk is burning up the blogosphere this week!ReplyDelete
Ouch! A cliche catastrophe! LOL
This book is every where this week.ReplyDelete
Congratulations Diane!ReplyDelete
A favorite cliche? How about, you can't get water from a stone, or don't leave a stone unturned, or a rolling stone gathers no moss. (Everybody must get stoned....)
Spunk on a stick! I love that! Unlike everyone else, I haven't heard of this book yet. Thanks so much for the info.ReplyDelete
Hi Lee .. Diane's book seems to have a great deal to offer ..ReplyDelete
Cliches seem to appear when needed as a way of explaining something ... When you have lemons, make lemonade:
there's always a positive ...
(keep your pecker up even when you're down)- not sure I really want to describe that one ..
Cheers Hilary
Yes Lee - pecker as in a signal up or down??!! HReplyDelete
Thank you so much, Lee. Sorry, still trying to play catch up from this week.ReplyDelete

Somehow we ended up with five avocados in the house today. What do you do when you have extra avocados? Make chocolate mousse! This Mexican chocolate avocado mousse is creamy and decadent, with a hint of cinnamon and a little bit of heat. It's an easy dessert that's gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free.
Chocolate mousse is usually made with eggs, cream or butter. Here, avocados and coconut milk stand in for the traditional ingredients. And raw cacao powder is used for the chocolate. One of the benefits of this recipe is you don't have to whip egg whites or melt chocolate. Just throw everything in the food processor and you're good to go.
Depending on the size and ripeness of your avocados, you may need to adjust some of the ingredients. Just make sure to taste the mousse once you blend it. If it's too thick, add a little more coconut milk. Adjust the honey, cinnamon and ancho chile powder to your liking. However you make it, this Mexican chocolate avocado mousse is a quick treat.
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup organic raw cacao powder
- 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1/3 cup local raw honey, to taste
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

PC Desktop power supply ticks

Posted April 4, 2013 at 10:46PM
I have a desktop pc that does not power up. Power cable is fine (checked). The power switch on the front of the pc does nothing. The power supply unit does not smell as if burnt out. But when the power cable in the power supply unit a faint ticking can be heard like an old wrist watch. Is this the time to replace the power supply unit or is it more serious. Thanks in advance

When things tick, it can be an hard-drive, fan or perhaps psu.
Depending on the age, wattage and usage of the existing unit, then a new psu might be the answer. Have a look on eBay for a replacement. I buy my 350w/500w psu's from there for £10/£14 delivered.

Easy to check using the paper clip test. It's a simple means to bypass the switch on the front of the PC. The video is quite long for a simple job, but is useful if you're not used to working inside the box. The voltages involved are low, so no need to worry.

Can I just add that the voltages in a PSU itself are most definitely NOT low. Go near that with a paperclip, and you may have no more worries - ever.
If nothing else is powering up (no lights, no fans, no HDD), I'd buy a new PSU and try it out. Or swap from another machine, if you have one.

I didn't say the voltages withing the PSU were low - the voltages on the mobo plug, which is the one involved in this, are. I agree you should never open a PSU as they are not repairable.

Shots Gun Drink Dispenser, for trigger-happy barkeeps
Monday, December 8, 2008 - 9:56am
While you might not want to whip out this Shots Gun Drink Dispenser at a rowdy nightclub among all those gun-totin' patrons, it might be the perfect addition to your home bar during the holidays. Never mind fancy inventions that fill the glass up from the bottom — just shoot your way to bartending prowess.
Check out the holster where you park this cool fire(water)arm. Pump up some pressure, and the lil' six-shooter is on a hair trigger. For $22, it gives new meaning to the term "shot."

Getting started on Classical Latin
The aim of this unit is to enable you to get started in Latin. It has been developed in response to requests from students who had had no contact with Latin before and who felt they would like to spend a little time preparing for the kind of learning that takes place on a classical language course. The unit will give you a taster of what is involved in the very early stages of learning Latin and will offer you the opportunity to put in some early practice.
This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from A297 Reading Classical Latin, which is no longer taught by The Open University.

Grazia has today launched their very own Mens magazine and here is what Grazia says. They would like your feedback boys, so if you have an opinion, let them know on their website.
"If your man regularly swipes your copy of Grazia (and we KNOW he does), then he's bound to love the all-new men's magazine that is nestled inside today's new issue. And as he will see, Gaz7etta is the perfect mix of news and style, with a healthy dose of business, politics and sport. Like Grazia, this is all about making the news work for you.
Oh, and they've also nailed fashion – from designer to high street, with something of a new approach to menswear. Of course, there's a focus on classics, but mens' fashion is now moving faster than ever before and with a huge offering of affordable high fashion pieces out there, the style-curious male can take a few risks to try stuff out.
We think he will particularly enjoy comedian Russell Kane's first person interview, opening up about his Dad – pretty powerful stuff, and not the kind of feature you see in mens magazines (why is it that men don't like to talk about their feelings, but are okay to open up about their fathers, hmm?). Older men, mentors and father figures, are quite a big deal in Gaz7etta – see Lemmy from Motorhead giving his life coaching tips. This is a magazine that respects its elders – older men and their influence on your life. Clearly, this is a men's mag, not a lad's mag.
All that, plus Roberto Mancini, Joy Division, Brad Pitt's stoner architecture, The Inbetweeners' Iain Morris, the real Mad Men, win one of ten iPads, oh, and A PHOTO OF BANKSY UNMASKED (yes, really…)
And if you were wondering if that stray "7″ in the title is a typo, it ain't – it's there to represent seven days of the week – geddit? We think you will…
This week's issue of Gaz7etta is a one-off "pilot" magazine so, gentlemen, we'd love to hear all your feedback."

From New York Department of Environmental Conservation
-- Recent tests for Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) in several additional Albany, Rensselaer and Niagara County deer have come back positive, according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The disease was first detected in New York State in October 2007. EHD does not present a threat to human health.
Following the first New York detection in Voorheesville, Albany County, DEC solicited the assistance of those who may be outdoors in helping to report any deer that are found sick, dying or dead. This resulted in additional deer mortality reports from Selkirk in Albany County, Castleton in Rensselaer County, and Youngstown in Niagara County, and DEC has recently confirmed EHD as the cause of death.
EHD is predominantly a disease affecting deer and is transmitted by certain types of biting flies called midges. It mainly affects deer in late summer and fall, but the flies die and the disease subsides when frosts and colder temperatures occur. Recent frosts throughout New York are anticipated to have reduced the likelihood of a large-scale outbreak this year, but DEC will continue to monitor the deer herd.
EHD is common in many southeastern states and has been reported throughout the mid-Atlantic this summer. In states where the disease has been detected, it has not had a significant negative impact on long-term health of the deer herd, and infecting instead only localized pockets of animals within a geographic area. There are several symptoms of EHD, all of which are not necessarily present in an infected deer.
They include:
swollen head, neck, tongue or eyelids; erosion of the dental pad or ulcers on the tongue; hemorrhaging of the heart, lungs, rumen and intestines; peeling of hooves; and high fever, leading infected deer to sometimes be found near water sources.
DEC continues to request the assistance of hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts in providing information to the Department about any sick, dying or dead animals encountered in the field. Sick or groups of dead deer should be promptly reported to the nearest DEC regional wildlife office. For more information about EHD, go to http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/38979.html on DEC's website.

Screen Media Hinders Child Development
Parents may feel allowing young children to watch "educational" DVDs is OK and even helps kids learn, giving them an advantage when they start school. But child development experts – and the research – say differently. Age is a big factor in what, if any, screen time is appropriate. It is also important to understand how differently time spent sitting in front of a screen affects the brain as compared to other sedentary activities, like listening to a story.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued recommendations that parents not allow children under the age of two any screen time -- watching TV, playing video games, or using a computer or tablet.
"[There is] some evidence to show that screen time for really young children under two years old is negative, and research was done that shows it is potentially linked to attention and behavioral problems later on," Nicole Martins, an assistant professor in the department of telecommunications at Indiana University, told TheDoctor.
The first three years of life are a time of rapid brain growth, Martins said, and children learn best from interacting with parents and caregivers, not from screen media. She went on to say that no evidence exists linking positive effects with spending time on screen media and that children actually learn less vocabulary from watching educational DVDs. They need to talk with their parents and caregivers.
Now there is research showing that screen time is physiologically distinct from other sedentary activities and should be considered separately from other sedentary behaviors.
In addition to the risk of obesity associated with inactivity, when a child is focused on a screen, food and hunger cues are disrupted. Prolonged screen time also affects the neurotransmitter dopamine, which plays an important role in the ability to pay attention; more screen time results in a reduced attention span. Dopamine, part of the brain's reward system, is produced in response to what British researcher Aric Sigman terms "screen novelty."
Dopamine has also been implicated as a basis for addiction, and more children are using screen media in an addictive way according to Sigman. Spending time playing video games, watching TV, or surfing the Internet just makes them want to spend more time plugged in.
The companies producing shows for toddlers make millions of dollars preying upon parents' fears that their child is not going to be smart enough or social enough by the time they get to preschool, Martins said. They claim that if you show your child their DVDs as an infant, they will be better off when they get to school.
But there is no research to support these claims.
As a result, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has stepped in. Companies cannot label their videos or computer games as something that has been proven to work, because there is no evidence to suggest that they do.
What Parents Can Do
Sigman has called for the U.K. and other European countries to establish guidelines for the amount of screen time children should be allowed each day, and the appropriate age at which they should begin to view screen media. In his paper, he made recommendations for parents regarding screen time, including minimizing or delaying screen time for the first 3 years, not putting TVs in children's bedrooms, and monitoring the amount of time a child spends with handheld computer games or media.
If you are going to allow your child over 2 to watch something, be more thoughtful about the shows you do let your child watch. Pick a show that is educational, such as things on PBS, like Sesame Street or Between the Lions, Martins suggested. Take the time to sit down with your child and watch together. That way, if you see something on TV that could be a teachable moment or an educational tool, you can talk about it. That conversation, and the time spent together, can help mitigate the negative impact of screen time.
If you have really young kids and are trying to use a few minutes of entertainment to give you a chance to finish dinner, for example, give them a toy, said Martins. "They will be just as entertained with the toy as with the TV," she said.
Sigman's paper was published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.

iPhone 5S Teardown: What's Inside (Update 1)
Update from 9:53 a.m. to include news on M7 chip and A7 fab in the sixth and eighth paragraphs.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Web site iFixit took a look inside the newly launched Apple (AAPL) iPhone 5s. It found all the usual suspects, but did find one surprise.
Apple (AAPL) has included a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) chip for the TouchID. The sensor technology uses the technology from AuthenTec, which Apple purchased over a year ago.
The camera chip, which makes the iSight camera run, is most likely from Sony (SNE), as the DNL markings are consistent with previous Sony housing, according to the Web site and Jim Morrison, vice president of the Technology Analysis Group at Chipworks.Further tearing down the iPhone 5s, iFixit found a Murata 339S0205 Wi-Fi module, based off Broadcom's (BRCM) BCM4334. Broadcom also has its BCM5976 touchscreen controller inside the phone. There's also the other usual players, including SK Hynix, providing the NAND Flash, Qualcomm (QCOM), which is providing the PM8018 RF power management IC, MDM9615M LTE Modem, and WTR1605L LTE/HSPA+/CDMA2K/TDSCDMA/EDGE/GPS transceiver. Longstanding Apple partner TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT) has space in the iPhone 5s, supplying the TQM6M6224 chip. There also chipsets inside from Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) (77810, 77355), Avago Technologies (AVGO) (A790720, A7900) and Texas Instruments' (TXN) 37C64G1 chip. There are also several chipsets from Apple, including the much-talked-about 64-bit A7 chip, based on ARM Holdings (ARM) ARMv8 instruction set. Apple 338S1216 and 338S120L are also included. Chipsworks found that Samsung continues to make the A7 chip for Apple, despite rumors that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) was fabbing the chip for Apple. iFixit could not find the M7 co-processor in its initial teardown that Apple talked up at the launch. iFixit believed the M7 could be built into the A7. Update: Chipworks found that the M7 is indeed a separate chip, and is being made by NXP Semiconductor (NXPI), the NXP LPC18A1. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

Cites Centre's softening to Telangana demand, slams state for not doing enough.
Accusing the Trinamool Congress government of not "cooperating enough" in the smooth running of Gorkhaland Territorial Administration(GTA, the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) on Tuesday said it will renew its old demand of a separate statehood from a rally to be held on January 20 in Darjeeling town.
"We have planned a rally at Darjeeling on January 20 from where future programmes of the party will be announced," GJM General Secretary Roshan Giri told The Indian Express.
However, the GJM's plan to once again take up the issue of separate statehood demand stems more from the fact that Centre is actively considering to formation of Telangana state.
According to Giri, when the Centre is considering the demand for a Telangana state, the "oldest movement" for a separate state for Gorkhas must have to be given acknowledged. "The Centre is considering the formation of Telangana state. So why should the demand for a sperate state for Gorkha not be considered? We had never said that we have given up the demand for Gorkhaland. We will raise the demand again," he added.
The GJM is also unhappy that the state government have been delaying the transfer of departments to the GTA. "Only 29 departments have been transferred to the GTA and some of them partially. If the speed of transferring the departments to the GTA is slow and if the process is not accelerated, the GTA will not function smoothly. We feel that GTA is not being allowed to function smoothly because of the problems in the state bureaucracy," said GJM MLA Harka Bahadur Chhetri.

LOS ANGELES, September 24, 2013 — Going into the season there were some impressive milestones that were within the grasp a few major leaguers. Wells On Baseball previewed these at the start of the year, from Derek Jeter looking to move up on the hits list and Alex Rodriguez looking to pass Willie Mays on the all-time homeruns list to pitchers reaching 200 wins and 2000 strikeouts. Here is a look at how these players did in regards to reaching these milestones.
Raul Ibanez entered the season needing 117 hits to reach 2000 hits for his career. Ibanez is currently seven hits shy of that milestone. The Mariners play five more games this season, so there is a chance that Ibanez can get there this year.
SEE RELATED: San Francisco Giants need to re-sign Hunter Pence
Derek Jeter battled injury all year and has only been able to appear in 17 games for a total of 73 plate appearances. Jeter needed 277 total bases to reach 5000 for his career, he has just 16. Those 16 total bases, however, were good enough to move Jeter into the top ten for total bases, knocking Eddie Collins out. Jeter needed 81 runs to move past Stan Musual and into tenth on the all-time list. He scored just eight runs.
Alex Rodriguez too battled injuries to start the year. A-Rod has appeared in 42 games this year for the Yankees. He needed 14 homeruns going into this season to pass Willie Mays on the all-time list, now he needs seven more homeruns. Rodriguez picked up 19 of the needed 47 RBIs to pass Barry Bonds. He did pass Stan Musual and sits in sixth place all-time for RBIs.
Jim Thome did not end up signing with any team. Ken Griffey Jr.'s sixth spot on the homerun list is safe. Much to his chagrin, Reggie Jackson still holds on to the top spot on the all-time strikeout list by a 50 strike out margin over Thome.
SEE RELATED: Top five curveballs among MLB starters
Andy Pettitte made his 500th career start and also recorded his 250th career win. Three pitchers, Roy Halladay, CC Sabathia and Tim Hudson, earned their 200th career victories. Injury prevented Johan Santana from getting the 12 strikeouts he needed to reach 2000 for his career, but A.J. Burnett and Ryan Dempster were both able to surpass the 2000 strikeout mark for their careers.
Derek Jeter has a player option for next season. He has not said whether or not he will pick up his option, but after seeing Mariano Rivera's farewell tour, it would not be a surprise to see Captain Intangibles want his own in 2014.
With Alex Rodriguez facing a 211-game suspension that will start next season pending an arbitrator's decision, Mays' place at fourth on the list should remain safe for a while.
Jim Thome and Andy Pettitte are both most likely done for their careers. Johan Santana will probably get those 12 strikeouts, but they most likely will not be in a Mets uniform.

Your Location: World → North America → U.S.A. → New York → New York City → Chanin Building
Chanin Building
Chanin Building
Structure in General
applied masonry
light brown
Art Deco
commercial office
- Built as a monument to Irwin S. Chanin (see Irwin S. Chanin), a graduate of Cooper Union who became a major New York developer of the 1920s.
- Chanin himself had his own offices on the 50th and 51st floors of the tower that were famous for a theater and an award-winning bathroom.
- To attract tenants, the owner provided centralized services at the base of the building including an underground connection to Grand Central Terminal and ground-floor commercial spaces.
- A movie theater and a subterranean bus terminal were included in the original project but no longer remain.
- Above the base, the tower's steel frame is clad in buff brick and terra cotta and it is set back in conformance with the 1916 Zoning Law.
- At the top, the skyscraper is capped by a dramatic crown that was once illuminated at night.
- Inside the lobby, the walls are decorated with reliefs by set-designer Jacques Delamarre and Renee Chambellan that represent "The City of Opportunity" and "The Active Life of the Individual," the latter perhaps a reference to Chanin's own rise to power and wealth.
- The facade illustrates the introduction of colored glass, stone and metal on the exterior of tall buildings.
- In contrast to its neighbor, Grand Central Terminal, the Chanin Building's Art Deco facade represents a turn away from the Beaux Arts style towards a more humanistic and modern imagery appropriate to the industrial age.
- 3rd tallest building in the world, when it was completed.

The first ever Tomb Raider gameplay footage has finally hit the internet following its showing at Microsoft's E3 press conference yesterday.
As you can see the franchise reboot is a far grittier affair than we're used to from the Tomb Raider series.
Lara, for example, seems vulnerable and scared rather than confident, and the content is generally more mature.
The first Tomb Raider trailer that came last week was a completely cinematic affair but impressive nonetheless. Haven't seen it? Go and have a look.

Here IC1 is wired as an astable multivibrator to generate rectangular pulses at around 10 kHz. This frequency and duty cycle of the pulses can be varied using preset VR1. The pulses are applied to switching transistors T1 and T2 for driving the output section, which is configured as a voltage-doubling circuit. The doubled voltage is available across capacitor C5. During each cycle of the pulse occurance, the high level drives T1 into its saturation, keeping transistor T2 cut off.
Circuit diagram:
This doubling action increases the total voltage across capacitor C5 to almost double the input voltage. If the output of the pulse generator is maintained with a high enough amplitude and frequency, the output voltage and current remain constant and cater to the needs of the load. Even with the half-wave function, this circuit is almost free of ripple voltage. If the connected load doesn't require a high current, the efficiency can be expected in the upper 90 percentranges.
Since the input voltage is doubled, the current drain from the input power supply is also doubled at the input but halved at the output. One point of caution is that if the multivibrator's frequency is fairly high, the output may suffer with the interference imposed over the DC voltage. In this case, the frequency must be set favorably by trials and actual load connection procedure. This tiny circuit can be assembled on the general-purpose PCB. If all of the components are surface-mount type, the whole module can be genuinely miniaturized.

A drug dealer has been convicted of killing a homeless woman who was doused with gasoline and burned alive in San Francisco six years ago.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1hrMWMA) 36-year-old Mia Sagote was found guilty Tuesday of murder, kidnapping and robbery. Sagote could face life in prison without the possibility of parole when she's sentenced Dec. 17.
Prosecutors say 49-year-old Leslie "Jill" May was killed in January 2007 after she told police that Sagote robbed and beat her over $150 owed by May's boyfriend to Sagote.
Sagote was apparently furious May went to police so she kidnapped the homeless woman, poured gas on her at a Candlestick Park parking lot, and set her ablaze.
A co-defendant agreed to testify against Sagote in exchange for a 14-year prison sentence.

Wilson ran for re-election in 1916--the year that Maury Place was built--and narrowly won. That campaign was much tougher, and Wilson went to bed on election night in 1916 not knowing if he had won or not. He was narrowly re-elected with 277 electoral votes to 254 for challenger Charles Evans Hughes. The new exhibit in Staunton begins a centennial celebration of Wilson's presidency. Staunton is approximately a 90-minute drive from Maury Place at Monument. We also proudly use reproduction White House china for our breakfast service. We do not own the Wilson White House pattern yet, but we are on the look out for it! In addition, the Virginia Historical Society, which is within walking distance of Maury Place at Monument, features a permanent exhibit about the six United States Presidents who were from Virginia, of which Wilson was the last to date.
