Test System Setup
Processor(s): Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz "C"
Motherboard(s): ABIT IC7 MAX3
Video card(s): GeCube Radeon 9600 XT (Supplied by Kingmax Australia)
Hard Disk(s): Seagate 7,200 RPM Parallel ATA (Supplied by Seagate)
Operating System Used: Microsoft Windows XP SP1
Drivers Used: ATI Catalyst 4.2
SiSoft Sandra 2004
SiSoft Sandra (System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) 2004 is a synthetic Windows benchmark that features different tests used to evaluate different PC subsystems.
You can see how overclocking helps increase overall memory speed.
Getting rid of the optimization that comes with buffered scores, we still see the Kingmax memory score very well across the board.
PCMark 2002
PCMark2002 is a multipurpose benchmark, suited for benchmarking all kinds of PCs, from laptops to workstations, as well as across multiple Windows operating systems. This easy-to-use benchmark makes professional strength benchmarking software available even to novice users. PCMark2002 consists of a series of tests that represent common tasks in home and office programs. PCMark2002 also covers many additional areas outside the scope of other MadOnion.com benchmarks.
As you would expect as the Front Side Bus (FSB) of the processor increases, so does the score. We see a nice increase across the board as we increase speed.
At DDR-500 we have well and truly broken the 10k barrier which is always a nice accomplishment.

Re:We don't use sudo? (592 comments)
When your job is entirely about being root
I somehow doubt that. Does every process you create need root privilege? Do you ever use grep (or awk or sed) and do you really need to run it with root privileges?
With sudo you can selective run commands with root privilege.

Re:homework analogies aside (693 comments)
It would be completely acceptable if the information were publicly available.But what Bing Toolbar (allegedly) does is, when you visit google, it saves your search keyword and the results and sends them to Bing servers. And when someone else searches for similar keywords on Bing, it display these results. This in my opinion is not acceptable.

Wow, I cannot believe that a bank would allow such lax passwords. I have a password with almost equal number of small caps and capital caps characters (typing it involves a lot of 'shift' key press and release). I guess I must have been a moron for creating a complicated password and remembering it!
Re:Standard for astronomy. (225 comments)
There is no "official" difference between "ocean" and "sea", either.
Is there a difference (even unofficially)?
Warner Music Group ordered YouTube on Saturday to remove all music videos by its artists from the popular online video-sharing site after contract negotiations broke down.The talks fell apart early on Saturday because Warner wants a bigger share of the huge revenue potential of YouTube's massive visitor traffic. There were no reports on what Warner was seeking. "We simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide," Warner said in a statement.
The London-based human rights group called on President Pratibha Patil not to approve the legislation, which would double the number of days police can detain terror suspects before filing charges, from 90 days to 180, as well as boost their powers to conduct searches.
"India's experience with previous anti-terrorism laws has shown that they can lead to abusive practices," Amnesty said.
A similar law enacted by the previous govt, POTA, was used twice (out of five times it was used) to arrest politician of opposition party. I hope this new bill proposed, does not turn into yet another POTA."

So how much more does a Troll eat in comparison with an Ogre? as a side question, has it ever been defined if Trolls are bigger than Ogres (based in WFB stats I would say no)?
It is a bit silly but I asked this myself when reading Gathering the Storm. In warhammer 3 they have "defined" that and Ogre in game terms must eat 1 pound of meet every hour, which makes 24 pounds of meet per day. Then in Gathering the Storm pg 48 you can read
"The troll glutted itself on all the food in the pantry. Within a day it needed feeding again. There were cows, horses and sheep on the farm, as well as the captured humans, but within two days the troll had eaten everything "
So, the Troll there eats in 48 hours cows, horses and sheep in plural!!!!! A single cow is (aprox) 1200 pounds, a horse make it 1100 pounds aprox and a sheep 150 pounds, human 150 pounds. Let's take the minimum of the plural, that is two of each. The troll ate 5200 pounds (ok, this includes bones) so lets take 3000 pounds of meat (although I am sure the Troll takes also the bones) in 48h!!!!! So that is….108 / 63 (with / without bones) pounds per hour!!!!!!!
Is this ok? or just the guys that wrote the adventure does not diferentiate a Troll from a Giant? (I am not even sure that a Giant from warhammer eats that much)

The celebration consists of framing the archival data in ways interesting to people who would be excited by the 50th Anniversary of the Hot 100 charts.

Here's the first batch:

Each week there will be another set of lists at billboard.com/hot100. One day there will be a way to meaningfully track MP3 downloads in order to make numbers like these relevant again. Until then, there's nostalgia. And trivia nights.

Week Three – Day 3
TODAY'S FAST – After school or work, fast from all media technology including video games, tv, computers, and internet to spend quality time with God and your family.
We often think of the commandment to "honor your father and mother" as meaning, "Throw them a 50th wedding anniversary party" to show them respect, and "don't go cheap on their Christmas gifts." But the Hebrew form for "honor" here is actually rendered as "give weight to" or "take them seriously." Why would God, issuing only ten core commands, choose as one of them that we are to take our parents seriously?
A danger in Christianity, which so strongly emphasizes a "personal" relationship with Christ, is that it can wrongly convey that we are to learn and grow on our own from reading the Bible, going to church, etc. We fail to recognize that God gives us teachers, mentors and parents as gifts. They are His means of ensuring that His ways are communicated to successive generations. And so pastors are to be revered (Heb. 13:17), spiritually mature people in the church are to be sought as mentors (Titus 2:3-5), and parents are to be "taken seriously" in how they instruct in the faith (Ex. 20:12).
During this fasting period, you might reflect on things God had your parents teach you about living for Him which you have yet to adhere to. You excuse yourself from those teachings with the flippant statement that they were "old-fashioned," which is a cheap cover-up to excuse your desire to fashion a faith more comfortable for you. Ask God during this fasting period where you may have failed in taking those things seriously. And for those of you whose parents never passed on spiritual guidance, use the fasting time to make the decision that you will be the one to start it for your family. Pray that God will guide you in building discipline into your children not simply because parents should do that anyway, but because you realize this is how God wants His ways passed on to them.
Prayer Focus:
Pray that children would value and cherish their relationship with their parents and that children will love and honor their parents all the days of their lives.
Key Verse:
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving your"
Exodus 20:12 NIV


text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) According to Buffalo Sabres President, Ted Black, Pat LaFontaine resigned his post as President of Hockey Operations and was not fired. Black, who along with General Manager, Tim Murray meet with the media Sunday at First Niagara Center and said there was "no discord" between LaFontaine and the organization prior to his resignation on Saturday. "The how and why, I can't speak to anyone's motives with regard to wanting to go back and work for the NHL or relocate families here, things like that." LISTEN to the Press Conference Here Black said the team was comfortable going forward without a person in the role that LaFontaine held and the related duties will be carried out by Murray in his position as General Manager. Craig Patrick will stay on board as an advisor to the team. When it comes to the coaching future of Ted Nolan, Murray said that, "..we want him (Nolan) to come back." Asked if he was concerned that Nolan was upset by Lafontaine's departure and if that would impact on his decision to stay with the team long-term, Murray replied, " I just want people who want to be here to be here. If he wants to be here, I want him to be our coach. I'm not going to beg anybody to come and work here. I want people that want to be here, I want players that want to be here and we want Teddy to be our coach going forward."

Business climate: What politicians can do to help
Crosscut co-hosts Civic Cocktail, a happy hour celebration of civic nerdery, on the first Wednesday of each month with CityClub and the Seattle Channel. This month we'll tackle a host of topics: Olympia, the Seattle mayor's race and the state of business. Join us this Wednesday, June 5, from 5:30- 7 p.m. for a televised bout of drinks and discussion. Register here.
Less than two weeks remain in the special legislative session and it's time for lawmakers to finish the state's business. A recent update of the Washington Roundtable's Benchmarks for a Better Washington — an annual report measuring our state's economic vitality —underscores the need for action on education and transportation policy. Two key takeaways:
- Washington ranks among the bottom half of all states for high school graduation rates (32nd) and bachelor's degrees awarded per capita (39th). We know 70 percent of jobs in Washington will require postsecondary education by 2020, yet nearly a quarter of high school students aren't making it to graduation, let alone college.
- Washington ranks 41st for bridge conditions, with 21.6 percent of bridges deemed functionally obsolete (including the Skagit River Bridge that recently collapsed), and 29th for road conditions. We have more than $3 billion in identified maintenance, operations and preservation needs and we aren't investing enough to take care of the system we have.
We want to make Washington a top 10 state in all of those categories. The 2013 Legislature has an opportunity to make progress to that end.
Budget negotiations are ongoing, but both the House and Senate have committed at least $1 billion in new K-12 spending.They also passed legislation enabling the state to intervene in chronically low-performing schools. This is the right course: increased investment with accountability for results.
Lawmakers should approve additional education reforms before calling their 2013 work complete. A third grade literacy bill will help ensure students don't slip through the cracks. A bill giving principals and teachers a mutual say in teacher assignment will help place great teachers in every classroom. A bill to assign letter grades to schools will increase transparency for families and communities.
Lawmakers must also ensure our higher education institutions are prepared to develop talent. This means protecting funding for our universities and increasing production of STEM degrees (science, technology, engineering and math).
A recent Boston Consulting Group analysis identified 25,000 jobs in Washington state that had been open for three months or more because employers couldn't find qualified candidates. That number is expected to grow to 50,000 jobs by 2017, 90 percent of which are STEM positions. Filling these jobs would create another 110,000 jobs broadly across the economy. We have great jobs in Washington state and more are coming if we foster the talent to fill them.
Transportation was already an important topic for the 2013 Legislature, but it's getting more attention following the Skagit River Bridge collapse. With rankings among the bottom 10 states for bridge conditions and bottom half for road conditions, Washington's transportation system is clearly fragile.
The last new statewide investment in transportation came in 2005. That money — most of which was targeted to new project construction — is used up, but we still have more than $3 billion in ongoing maintenance, operations and preservation needs. Without action, 50 percent of state highway pavement will be in poor or very poor condition in just 10 years.
Is it exciting to spend money on maintenance? Never. But it needs to be done and waiting only makes it more expensive. We need action from lawmakers on a statewide transportation investment. It should focus on taking care of the system we have and finishing projects in critical corridors.
All of this will be done within the context of state budget discussions that have been percolating for months. The budget solution should be sustainable and avoid actions that undermine the economic recovery.

When the phrase, "... more then $3 Billion in ongoing maintenance, operations and preservation needs ..." is described, remember a few other pertinent facts to round out the conservation.
First, and most egregious, is about $3 Billion for unnecessary community only frills on SR 520, such as lids (such as the lid over the Montlake interchange), a new bicycle crossing over I-5 at Roanoke Street, alongside an existing 8-foot sidewalk that does the job very well today, as it has for the last 50 years, and a revised structure from Montlake to I-5 for who knows what purpose. This is a massive investment for a facility whose capacity is limited by the highways at each end.
Why did WSDOT not consider building a new 2-lane HOV/transit bridge parallel to and south of the the existing floating bridge, to serve as a breakwater, and thus allowing the continued use of the old structure that is barely 50 years old? The 2-HOV/transit lanes could be run to and ended at Montlake leaving the section from Montlake to I-5 as is (since I-5 is capacity deficient already with no hope of its being increased).
Then, too, WSDOT has spent $120 million already on electronic signage over I-5 and I-90 advising motorists what speed to do in the peak hour, as if the drivers have no clue that the speed they are capable of is not faster than the car in front, especially when he/she is stopped in congested traffic while the sign over head advises the speed should be 40 mph. Spending $120 million to advise a driver of what he/she can already see through the windshield seems a bit of waste, is it not?
The photo of a repair job is equally interesting. There the DOT worker is filling a pothole in a concrete roadway with "cold-mix" asphalt-cement. How long will that last? What's wrong with "high-early" cement?
And remember, the $5 plus billion Columbia River crossing of I-5 is so WSDOT can get a handle on some federal money that may go to some other state, all while providing light rail to a city and county that does not want that shoved down their collective throats, while giving them a toll for the privilege? What's wrong with preserving the existing CRC bridges?
And so it goes. A transportation department with the motto, "If it ain't broke, build a new one anyway so we can spend a few extra dollars for, well, lets call it earthquake preparedness."
Posted Mon, Jun 3, 11:24 a.m.
Education/training and transportation are easy targets. Unskilled people are problems waiting to happen. And bridges fall down. The government runs out of money. We talk schools and roads. A few glitzy, expensive, dubiously utilitarian projects get done. The economy cycles. Then cycles again. And we're back to talking about schools and roads, and waving goodbye to Boeing. Again.
The elephant in the room is TAX REFORM. Besides being grossly regressive, our system provides the most revenue when we need it the least and the least revenue when we need it the most.
Not many liked the messenger, but Ron Sims in his 2004 gubernatorial bid had the right idea and he was the only one of any political stature who had the guts to say it. End ALL taxes on businesses, especially the B&O; tax. (We penalize hiring state residents while the federal government rewards importation of guest workers.) Exempt the first $100,000 (I'd double that.) of valuation for property tax assessment. Limit sales taxes to 1% (or 1.5%) and make that ONLY a county/city tax source. Clean up this crazy quilt of "user fees" and sin taxes. And then impose a progressive income tax. That's the only way it will work. If you try and superimpose an income tax on top of this joke of a tax system, the voters are absolutely right to hand Olympia its head.
Reform would provide a consistent revenue flow and provide the resources to create state/private partnerships of widely available, very low-cost technical job training programs and provide the kind of transportation spending that doesn't have to be driven by headlines.
One more thing: "A recent Boston Consulting Group analysis identified 25,000 jobs in Washington state that had been open for three months or more because employers couldn't find qualified candidates." This is exactly the kind of BS statistic responsible for the BS H1-B guest worker program that imports guest workers that are for the most part trained by their taxpayers to fill jobs vacant because we won't train ours and almost all of those wages go back to Bangalore. Just nuts.

Paddy "This is exactly the kind of BS statistic responsible for the BS H1-B guest worker program that imports guest workers that are for the most part trained by their taxpayers to fill jobs vacant because we won't train ours and almost all of those wages go back to Bangalore. Just nuts."
This is exactly right. Far too many high tech jobs are not filled because many employers TAKE GREAT PRIDE in stating that no one is qualified for those jobs and "we won't train people, American students are lazy and are not studying what we need" or, worse "we only hire people under 40". Certainly these are not the words & music that you'll hear from the HR departments, but go read comments related to unemployment vs. jobs that go begging and you'll see the "we don't care, we don't have to" attitude.
It's time for someone to bite their butts and put a stop to that attitude. Did the EEOC go out of business?
I have many friends who cam here under the H1-B program, they are fine people. They are NOT the problem, their employers are the problem. And it also boils down to all our elected leaders who continually find ways to jerk us around and spend our money meaninglessly.
Posted Mon, Jun 3, 1:30 p.m.
25,000 vacant jobs? If businesses truly needed workers, they'd hire them and use OJT to get the workers up to speed. The entire concept is just bullshit on the part of the business community and our elected officials are only to happy to lap it up. Between the two all we've got is this red herring.

The Legislature still had time to address the state's most important assets for a competitive economy, education and transportation. ???
Assets? What happen to Puget Sound? Puget Sound is our biggest asset and you keep trashing it.
We need forward thinkers, not instant gratificationalism bureaucrats.
Posted Sat, Jun 8, 9:54 p.m.
Well put. We definitely need to take care of what we have first, otherwise we remain vulnerable to future, similar incidents as what happened on the Skagit River, as well as permanent closing of roads and bridges due to lack of funds. The approach should include: (1) determining what it would take for P&M;, including seeing where there are places where bureaucracy is getting in the way of getting projects done on time and where they're adding needless costs; (2) Evaluating where our transportation $ are going now, i.e. are those costs reasonable; (3) Fully-fund P&M; (4) Legislate automatic adjustments to P&M; to take that out of the political arena; (5) Regular review of P&M; costs by legislators; (6) Full transparency of P&M; costs for taxpayers.

Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal may be out of this year's Wimbledon Championship, but one of the world's top three players remains in the tournament – in fact he's now favourite to win it.
We're talking of course about Novak Djokovic. The 27-year old Serbian already has one Wimbledon singles title under his belt (as well as five other Grand Slam singles titles), and with his greatest rivals fallen by the wayside looks to be on course for a second. We caught up with him in the run-up to Wimbledon to pick his brains about technology.
Tech makes a racket
"Technology plays a very important role in our sport – rackets especially. Rackets today allow the player to have more control on the strokes, more precision, more power, more acceleration."

We ain't seen nothin' yet
"We don't know how far it can go, and for me that's exciting. A few years ago we didn't have Hawk-Eye, and we thought it couldn't go further than that. And now we have the challenge system and even more advanced rackets. It's really unpredictable but we can definitely expect a lot more changes to come because there are people who are always looking for improvement and progression, and I think that's the right approach for [tennis] and for life in general."
There's more to life than tennis
"Technology allows us to speak to a person on the opposite side of the world, and to see that person while we're doing it, so it's quite incredible going back 10 or 15 years and then seeing where we are at this moment."

I had a very short breast cancer treatment journey -- a scant six weeks from diagnosis to cure, thanks to early detection following a routine mammogram and the care I received at MD Anderson in the Nellie B. Connally Breast Center's Multi Team Clinic. I'm lucky to have been able to get all of my care in one place close to my home in Houston.
Early detection saved my life
I've been getting annual mammograms since my 30s because I have fibrocystic breasts, a common condition that causes benign lumps or pain in the breasts.
About 10 years ago, my doctor found an area of microcalcifications (a small cluster of calcium) and ordered a biopsy. Thankfully, everything was fine.
So, when the same condition presented itself again on my most recent mammogram in August 2014, I wasn't too concerned. But five days after the biopsy, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, a type of breast cancer.

Boulder Farmers' Market, week ten: Escoffier School of Culinary Arts cooking contest
There's a cooking contest at the Boulder Farmers' Market today. A week earlier, Elizabeth Marsden and Cacy Britton had bested several other students in a competition at Boulder's Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, and they are now facing off against each other at one of the market stalls, surrounded by curious Saturday shoppers.
Earlier in the morning, each was given $50 to spend at the market for ingredients, along with a half hour to shop; they were also each provided with one lemon, oil, butter, salt and pepper, and each was given the assistance of one of the school's professional chefs. Now they're chopping like fury, manipulating saute pans on table-top burners, stirring and pouring, all under the watchful eye of the school's executive chef, Graham Mitchell. The two contestants have an hour and a quarter to create four plates for the four people who'll be judging.

Prizes will come from the American Culinary Federation: a trophy for one of them, special chefs' jackets for both and gift certificates from Williams-Sonoma -- $100 for the winner, $50 for the runner up. The contestants wait for the judges's verdict.
Elizabeth has bought salmon, Cacy ground lamb. She is using young onions, radishes, pea shoots and a variety of mushrooms; he is busy sauteeing onions and tomatoes diced small. Both have asparagus on their menus. Between them, they have shopped at Wild Alaska Salmon, Triple M Bar Ranch, the Black Cat Farm, 2 Rs, Miller Farms, Red Wagon, Hazel Dell Mushrooms, Wisdom Poultry (for eggs), Far Out Gardens, Pappardelle's Pasta, Haystack Mountain Goat Cheese and Munro Farms. Containers of prepared ingredients stand on the tables in a tidy mise en place. Elizabeth ties bundles of asparagus with strips of onion top. Cacy discusses the bottle of Muscat Blanc he bought from Bookcliff Vineyards with his sous chef. Won't it be too sweet? the sous chef wonders. Cacy hopes not; he says the wine seller assured him it was dry and light.
The contestants work with quiet concentration, even though observers are now pressing in on every side. One reaches over to use the Purell. Toward the very end of the contest when Cacy, fighting the clock and already a few minutes over his time, is plating, another watcher starts asking him detailed questions about his preparation. Sweating, he tries to answer. These intrusive encounters are nothing, Chef Graham tells me quietly. A couple of weeks ago, someone actually snatched a morsel of food from a cutting board as an Escoffier chef was chopping, contaminating the board and risking her own fingers.
Elizabeth's dish is finally plated. She has made sauteed mushrooms with a square of salmon laid on the top, skin-side up. A bundle of sauteed asparagus nestles at one side and a row of thin-sliced radish lines the other. Cacy is still working. His pasta is a touch too al dente. I'm worrying that the salmon will get cold -- and also that Cacy will lose a point. But then his dish is prepped and ready and the judges move in with their forks. It's astonishing how differently two trained chefs can think and work when they're presented with the same array of ingredients. Elizabeth's plate is light and spring-like, the pink of the salmon contrasting with the earthier mushroom colors and the vibrant green asparagus. Cacy has gone for a deeper and more unctuous set of flavors. He cooked the sauteed vegetables down to serve as a sauce for his thick-cut strips of pasta, and deglazed with the wine. On top, he placed a ground lamb patty, and on top of that a poached egg: Break the egg yolk and there's a bright gold sauce for your plate. Then he added a touch of herbed chevre.
As the judges compare notes, I ask Elizabeth and Cacy about their professional goals and how they came to the kitchen.

Emanu-El in the Neighborhood is drawing national attention for its innovative approach to community building. Our goal is to let our neighbors know they are not alone and facilitate opportunities to meet, celebrate, and care for one another in our neighborhoods, as well as at the Temple. To be Jewish is to be in community.
Whether your community is a minyan, a study group, the Friday night service regulars, or those with whom you do mitzvot, we are brought into relationships with other people. These relationships create community. We soften one another's sorrows when we share them. We strengthen one another when we mark joys and sorrows together, and support each other in times of celebration as well as in times of grief. As a congregation, as a community, we can do so much to offer hope, strength and comfort to one another.

Emanu-El in the neighborhood is one way to connect our members with one another. Invite your neighbors to share a potluck havdalah, shabbat dinner or brunch or a Chanukah celebration. If interested, please contact Jennifer Goldstein.
It's Easy to Be a HostWe just hosted a Shabbat Dinner at our home two weeks ago and had an absolutely fabulous time. We felt blessed to be part of such a vibrant Jewish community, and to do our part in helping that community grow. It was also great to meet new people in our neighborhood, and to know a few more people at Temple. Overall, a top experience that we hope to repeat in the near future. I couldn't be more effusive in my recommendation to host one of these dinners.—Nick Josefowitz, 94109

I have been a Neighborhood Liaison for Group 9 in the Marina since the inception of Emanu-El in the Neighborhood 18 months ago. This leadership role has given me such pleasure and joy allowing me to share my passions of caring for others and cooking meals when needed. But what really makes this exciting is that I'm not in this alone. I have a co-liaison to help as well as many willing neighbors who also cook for those in need of support through www.mealtrain.com as well as generously opening their homes so we all have a place to go for break the fast, havdalah and shabbat. This is a natural fit for me, kind of like just doing a bit more of what I already love to do. —Jorun Shragge

Last week I had the opportunity to bring dinner to an Emanu-El family I didn't know. I received a Mealtrain email from my neighborhood and a link to a family I didn't know was in the midst of grieving. I looked at the circumstances: someone around the corner had lost her husband, someone under the same roof lost his Dad. I immediately felt the overwhelming sense of how little there is to do in the face of so much loss and suffering. I looked at the list of dates and the things other people planned to bring. I wondered about what to bring. I wondered what "Shabbat dinner" meant to them. What if I got it wrong? What if they didn't like what I brought? What if they ate the same chicken potpie and salad last night? What if they wanted a home cooked meal and not the take out food I knew I'd bring in plastic packaging? What if I have nothing to say at the doorstep? When I remembered that Judaism doesn't require us to know what to say, only to know what to do I felt better. Taking part in the Emanu-El in the Neighborhood program reminded me of the all the meals brought to us when we came home from the hospital without our son who was in the Neo-natal ICU, and the meals that continued to arrive even after he came home. What I remember so vividly was bringing Daniel home in the rain on a Friday night, his first Shabbat out of the hospital and in the world, and finding that someone had left a Shabbat dinner for us at a time when we were not able to make it for ourselves. Together with my parents, we huddled around the bassinet with candles lit and eating a dinner someone had brought from a store in the neighborhood. It helped. It mattered. A simple challah tethered us to our tradition and to a reality beyond the trouble we were in. There is so little to do when one is facing illness or grief. Just being reminded that the larger world exists, that we weren't alone and to be nourished, can carry a person from one moment in a narrow place to a more spacious place of connection. Nothing anyone would have said was going to relieve our worry or our fears but the anonymous congregant who fed us that first night made a meaningful difference and we remain grateful.—Jennifer Kaufman

I have 5 little trees developed by air-layering and planted in 5 gallons pots. One month ago I took the poor little babies into my basement where the temp is around 60-65. A week ago I find them shooting new growth. I got excited and gave them sips of water laced with foliage pro fertilizer I use for my Citrus trees, also I will give them miracle grow later. Today I found green leaves over the little trees. I hanged on them 3 of 60 watt lamps producing no heat, I leave the lamps on all day. I guess I am giving my little trees 3-4 months advantage. If they develop fruit I will remove most of it. An Egyptian friend of mine told me figs in Egypt never go dormant they drop their leaves but they grow new ones shortly. The coldest temp there is 65. |

My last winter at Lake Havasu Arizona, it did not freeze. Fig trees did not go dormant, and they produced fruit the following summer. I have two indoors in pots right now near a south facing window that were rooted several months ago. They make beautiful house plants, but will be planted in ground in April. |

Please consider that figs thrive in tropical regions, so dormancy is out of the question. It's only in colder zones that the trees sleep. Dormancy does not greatly affect quantity or quality of fruit production as I understand it. But I do note that figs in cooler places may be sweeter, similarly to strawberries and other fruit. I live in Florida, and half the time, they remain leafy all winter, with first fruit in April, last fruit in December. The only other factor as I see it is that there is so little actual sunlight up north that a tree kept awake indoors might need artificial grow-lights. Anybody out there doing this? |
- Posted by foolishpleasure 7B (My Page) on Tue, Dec 25, 12 at 21:55
Yes sure grow-light is a must. I have several grow lights hanging above the trees. I have three trees out of the five fully green all over. The other two I can see numerous buds swelled. These five trees are young and as a rule of thump I allow only 3 fruits per each foot of tree heights. The tricky thing is to be patient when introducing them to outside environment usually it takes from 10 to 15 days and few hours every day. The first few days to go only shaded area then introduce them to the sun slowly. Same way as I do with vegetable seedlings grown inside during winter before they go in the sun full blast. |

Telestream Unveils Transcoding, Workflow and Live Streaming Solutions
Telestream will be unveiling novel transcoding, workflow and live streaming offerings at the National Association of Broadcasters, or NAB convention. Telestream will be present at Booth SL2605 at NAB 2013, which is scheduled from April 8-11 in Las Vegas.
In a statement, Barbara DeHart, VP of Marketing at Telestream said, "Transcoding has become the key enabler to file-based workflows. Telestream has pioneered general purpose transcoding and is now leading the way in the development of application-specific solutions, designed to meet the needs of distinct workflows. Last year we introduced a Vantage transcoding and workflow solution designed for the distribution of multiscreen content. This year we're expanding our Vantage family to include a new product that targets the needs of cable and IPTV (News - Alert) workflows."
Telestream will be unveiling a novel GPU-accelerated video transcoder at NAB 2013. The transcoder has been designed with an aim to computerize content preparation and delivery for cable VOD and IPTV workflows. Telestream in association with Manzanita System has developed the latest Vantage Cable/IPTV transcoder, which offers refined control over Transport Stream multiplexing and metadata. The latest transcoder completely incorporates with the limited Lightspeed technology from Telestream, thereby providing the maximum possible encoding speeds with GPU acceleration.
A technical associate program for Vantage will also be launched by Telestream. OEM associates will be able to widen their presence via the program. Similarly, customers will be able to monetize their information through fresh channels. Associates will now be offered direct control over powerful Vantage transcoding engines via a novel SDK. At the same time, they will be offered complete advantages of Vantage infrastructure administration.
Telestream will also be showcasing its latest fixed-price live video streaming offerings at NAB. These offerings will be based on Telestream Wirecast for Windows live streaming production solutions and Matrox VS4 four-channel video capture card. Sports groups, churches, schools, corporations, and other live event producers will therefore be offered best-in-class, multi-camera live video creations and broadcasting capabilities by these systems.
Wirecast at NAB will also feature dynamic scoreboard technology for real-time sports webcasts. The incorporation of XOS ThunderCloud LiveScore Service with Wirecast Pro for Windows was recently unveiled by Telestream in association with XOS Digital Inc.

Michael Vick is a lottery ticket every year when he's drafted. You bought high early hoping for Vick the escape artist, Vick the creative, elusive athlete, and the Vick who's dangerous in multiple facets of the game. You buy that ticket knowing you'll tolerate a few missed games, and a few mistakes due to his wild, free wheeling style. You invite both danger, and the potential for great reward that comes with that risk.
But this week, we may have already reached a point when the odds of cashing in that lottery ticket are far too slim, and it's reasonable to look elsewhere on your roster. In fact, being completely ignorant and not even considering another option is an act of negligence.
And dammit, you don't neglect something that isn't real. Quick philosophy: if you've neglected your fantasy team in any way, does it cease to exist? Can a fantasy exist without your acknowledgement?
Oh man, this Sunday is starting off well, and it'll now surely include sightings of exotic monkeys and dogs as was foretold earlier in the week. For now, though, back to Vick, for he's a far more frightening Sunday morning sight.
It didn't take long for the serious speculation from those who are paid to say such things to begin regarding Vick. Earlier this morning NFL Network's Michael Lombardi said that if his performance today comes even close to Vick's four interception outing in Week 1 against the lowly Browns with a 51.8 completion percentage, a 51.0 passer rating, two fumbles, and 5.7 yards per pass attempt, then a benching in favor of Eagles backup Nick Foles could be seriously considered.
That still seems like a drastic and sudden step two weeks into a season. But for our purposes in fantasy — and more importantly, your purposes if you're a Vick owner — a benching should receive consideration. In fact, if you're thinking about benching him now, well, keep thinking about it.
There's the obvious motivation stemming from the fact that Vick's healthy receivers pretty much don't exist. Although as expected it's looking like Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson will suit up and play, they were both limited and barely able to practice all week, so that limited tag will linger today against a Ravens defense that had little trouble replacing Terrell Suggs in Week 1. Instead of sheer intensity up front, the Ravens used their defensive backfield to confuse Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and create sacks and pressures.
A similar approach this week will force Vick to make quick reads on tight passing windows, and when that happened last week he turned the ball over four times, and nearly added two more by putting it on the ground twice. With that creative approach the Ravens were able to sack Dalton four times even without Suggs.
I don't think Vick will be downright awful today, and he'll surely make a recovery from last week simply because the only direction that's available to him is one that's going in an upwards direction. But if you're in a situation with your roster where there's the possibility of a more favorable option on your bench with a better matchup, then you need to give that other guy a long, serious look, even though it's incredibly painful to sit down Vick and his potential to go boom after you drafted him in the third or fourth round.
If you spent a pick somewhere in that area on Vick and then were wise enough to spend highly on a backup knowing his injury proneness, it's possible that you have Ben Roethlisberger (vs. NYJ) or Matt Schaub (@JAC) on your bench. Both of those matchups and circumstances are far better than the ones facing Vick, especially with the injuries to his receivers, and with Big Ben facing a Jets secondary sans Darrelle Revis.
Bold-ish prediction for Vick's numbers: 252 passing yards, 1 passing TD, 2 INTs, 23 rushing yards, 1 fumble lost

Designers such as Valentino, Dior, Givenchy and others took inspiration from the animal kingdom during last week's Haute Couture Spring 2011 shows. From Givenchy's bison-inspired headdresses to Christian Dior's corvid-mimicking gowns and masks, there was no shortage of wild designs on the catwalk.
Avian, aquatic, reptilian and wild animal fashions gave a glimpse of "spring fever," with some of the most stunning of these animal-inspired fashions including Valentino's interpretation of the jellyfish and Dior's elegant ostrich dress.

In my guild this one would go to the one that has shown great effort in our progress and it will not be dictated by class, normal dkp rules will be applied since the one that has shown most effort will probably have the most dkp anyway.

Trails are hallmarks of livable communities and of cities that are built on a human scale. Despite its scenic location, Kingston has had very few dedicated off-road trails until now, and those it had were short and did not connect with other trail systems. However, the former railbed of the Kingston and Pembroke (K&P) Railway in Frontenac County and north Kingston are now being transformed into a viable multi-use pathway capable of supporting cycling, hiking, cross-country skiing and equestrian activities. Nick-named by locals as the "Kick and Push", the K&P Railroad has been abandoned for years, but offers the opportunity to provide a trail extending from Kingston to Harrowsmith and then to Tichborne, potentially reaching as far north as Sharbot Lake. At Harrowsmith, the trail now connects with the existing Cataraqui Trail, a part of the Trans-Canada Trail network. The K&P right-of-way (ROW), previously owned by Bell Canada, has now been partly acquired by the city of Kingston (rural area) and Frontenac County has acquired much of the rest of the ROW south of Tichborne. The redevelopment work currently focuses on the Frontenac County section. K&P redevelopment pushes northThe K&P Trail has now been extended from Harrowsmith to just north of Verona, for an additional 12 km. And the County of Frontenac has added two very useful tools to its website - links are below. The left picture link takes you to a pictoral tour of the Trail in the County and the right picture link is an interactive map that lets you determine the Trail's elevation along the way. |
To promote the public acquisition of the K&P right-of-way (ROW) from Kingston to Harrowsmith and to promote a future acquisition of the ROW to Sharbot Lake To promote the development of the K&P right-of-way into a non-motorized, multi-use (cycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, equestrian) pathway in the Kingston area and northward. To promote the use and maintenance of trails as a recreational and transportation alternative. NOTE: The K&P Trail Group neither owns nor maintains the K&P Trail. Our role is to advocate for the preservation of this public heritage such that all residents of the City of Kingston and County of Frontenac and visitors to the area may benefit from its presence.
NOTE: Motorized vehicles (except for local farm vehicles) are not allowed on the city portion of the trail
It is now possible to walk or cycle all the way from north Kingston to Verona on the K&P. The surface for the full distance is stone dust, a fine ground stone that is easy to walk or cycle on. The County improvements add an additional 20 km to the trail (starting from Orser Rd, the terminus of the City portion of the trail), for a total of about 34 km. Use of the trail is strictly at the user's own risk. (L) Rock cut on new County portion of trail (R) New bridge over Millhaven Creek (L) connection to Scanlon Rd is down a short but steep incline (R) culvert under trail with date More News City of Kingston completes bridge across Little Cataraqui Creek and extends trail to trailhead on Binnington Court (at Dalton)

Real Madrid signs 7-year-old! Bradley to Egypt?
Hey there Soccer-holics. Just getting back from vacation.
In case you missed it, here is my Sunday column addressing Miami's MLS hopes and new US coach Jurgen (no umlaut anymore) Klinsmann. Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know. Would love to get more conversation going on this blog. Don't be afraid. Jump right in. Just keep it clean and respectful.
In other news, soccer matches all over London have been canceled today due to rioting. Very, very sad. London -- one of the great cities of the world -- is burning. Hope it stops soon.
Also read today that Real Madrid signed a 7-year-old! No, I'm not kidding. A 7-year-old Argentine kid signed with Real Madrid today. And his nickname is...Leo! Read all about him here!
Finally, word is that former US coach Bob Bradley is in talks with Egypt about becoming their coach. Good man. Wish him well wherever he lands.

MagicJack owner strikes back at WPS charges
08/03/2011 | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack (0)
MagicJack to fold?
The Women's Professional Soccer league and Dan Borislow, the unorthdox, controversial owner of the Boca Raton-based MagicJack team, have been feuding for quite some time, and it appears the league is so fed up it is seeking to terminate the club after this season. Here is today's press release from the league...
"Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) holds all teams and owners to a uniform professional standard, and all owners must agree to those standards in order to play in the League. When Dan Borislow took over as the majority owner of the Washington Freedom (now magicJack) franchise, Mr. Borislow had an obligation to follow, and embrace these standards and to honor the franchise's commitments to the League, players and sponsors.
Mr. Borislow has failed to honor his commitments to the detriment of the League, our players and our partners. From unprofessional and disparaging treatment of his players to failure to pay his bills, Mr. Borislow's actions have been calculated to tarnish the reputation of the League and damage the League's business relationships. Now, Mr. Borislow has filed a baseless legal action against WPS. The League is not intimidated by Mr. Borislow's unfounded claims and will not tolerate his mistreatment of players and flouting of the rules.
Mr. Borislow is asking a Florida court to bar the League from exercising its right to terminate his franchise at the end of the season for breach of his contractual obligations. No such entitlement exists under League contracts, and Mr. Borislow's many contractual breaches more than justify any decision by the League to terminate his franchise.
"It is disappointing that rather than run a professional organization and partner with his fellow owners, Mr. Borislow has chosen to threaten the League by filing this action," said WPS Board Chairman and Atlanta Beat Owner, T. Fitz Johnson. "All of us at WPS are involved in this business because we love the sport, we are committed to our incredible athletes and fans, and we know that there is a permanent place in sports for the women's professional game."
"We continue to focus on our world-class athletes and their accomplishments, and we won't let the antics of one owner steal the moment from them and from our fans," said Anne-Marie Eileraas, CEO, Women's Professional Soccer. "We will defend the League against Mr. Borislow's latest attack and will continue to hold all of our teams to the same professional standards in order to protect our players, fans, teams, partners and the integrity of the sport."
It would truly be a shame if the two sides can't work this out. In the wake of the Women's World Cup buzz, MagicJack has been a hot ticket. The club drew a league-record 15,404 in Rochester (Abby Wambach's hometown) for a game against Western NY, drew 9,345 for a game in Atlanta, and last week drew team-record crowds of 3,200 at FAU for their first two home games since the World Cup.
They have a home game tonight at 7 against New Jersey. Stay tuned!

Barca training at UM
Well, the media was told not to publicize where Barca is practicing, but MLS mentioned in a press release that Barca trained at UM, and UM put out a press release about the Barca practices, so...cat's out of the bag. Here's the UM release...
FC Barcelona went through an array of running and passing drills during the hour-long session.
Team captain Carles Puyol was seen working with Barça's personal trainers, jogging around Cobb Stadium and stretching as part of his rehabilitation from a knee injury. The rest of the club used much of the session to work on short-range passing drills, a testament to the team's trademark possession game.
Midfielder Xavi Hernandez practiced at full speed, evidence that the starter is recovering nicely from a leg injury that has kept him from preseason play. Meanwhile, starters Gerard Piqué, Andrés Iniesta and David Villa mixed it up with newcomers Thiago Alcántara do Nascimiento and Ibrahim Afellay. Head coach Pep Guardiola looked on and periodically corrected some of the younger members of the roster.
A crowd of about 50 fans gathered outside the gates of Cobb Stadium to show their support, while an almost equal number of reporters interviewed midfielder Seydou Keita following the team's work out.
The club will return to Miami's facilities three more times during the days leading up to their matchup against Mexican squad Chivas de Guadalajara at Sun Life Stadium on Wednesday.
Fans can check out the award-winning Cobb Stadium and the Hurricanes Soccer team in person when the Canes open their home schedule on Aug. 19 against the University of Florida at 7 p.m.

Barca's in town! Chivas arrives today!
Barcelona was scheduled to arrive in Miami Sunday night, and has a training session scheduled for this morning. Sorry, public is not invited. Heard a few players will make an appearance at Soccer Locker on US-1 near Dadeland between 11 a.m. and noon.
Chivas arrives this afternoon.
Word is, 60,000 tickets have been sold for Wednesday night's game at Sun Life Stadium.
Should be a blast! I am on vacation, but will be back in time for the game. Check the Herald next few days for full coverage.

In 1960 Harold Glasser brought the Miss USA pageant to Miami Beach from Long Beach, Calif., where he was born. Miss Universe, a spin-off of the original pageant, came along. In 1971 the Miss USA and Miss Universe shows left Miami Beach after 11 straight years. While pageants have come and gone since then, for that decade the girls of summer confirmed the notion that the bathing beauty was most at home in South Florida.

I will be representing the Math and Science specialty center as a student ambassador here on monday. Personally, I went my 8th grade year and I reccomend all parents bring their kids to this event. It's a good opportunity to allow your child to see the opportunities open to them and begin working towards a career goal. Check out the Matth-Sci station, GO CAVS!

far apart they are supposed to be in the puzzle. These complications present both opportunities and challenges for mathematical analysis.
Human DNA is a long molecule that is shaped like a spiral staircase, in which each step contains a pair of amino acids that fit together like a tongue and groove joint. Adenine (A) fits together with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) fits together with guanine (G). Each chemical fits only one of the others, so that the sequence of letters along one side of the staircase (GATTCC…) uniquely determines the corresponding sequence on the other side (CTAAGG…), which is conventionally read in the opposite direction (… GGAATC). Like a photographic negative, one strand is a template for duplicating the other (see Figures 19 and 20).
In all, human DNA contains about 3 billion "base pairs," or rungs of the staircase. The goal of the Human Genome Project was to list all of them in order. Unfortunately, chemists can sequence only a few hundred base pairs at a time. To sequence the whole genome, scientists had to chop it into millions of shorter pieces, sequence those pieces, and reassemble them.
The publicly funded Human Genome Project and the privately funded Celera Genomics adopted two different strategies, both of which eventually led to the same mathematical problem. You have millions of short (500-base) overlapping puzzle pieces that have been completely scrambled by the chopping process. There are enough pieces to cover the length of the genome seven or eight times over, so there are many overlaps between pieces. You want to use these overlaps as a guide to assemble the pieces into the longest possible sequence of contiguous regions.
