London: Internet search giant Google has announced that it will offer a free wireless internet network in the Chelsea area of New York.
Google announced the plans with Charles Schumer, the New York Senator, the Senator`s office said in a statement.
According to the paper, the firm is reportedly part of Google`s attempt to foster a technology community in `Silicon Alley`, the New York rival to California`s Silicon Valley.
The free WiFi would cover part of New York`s Chelsea neighbourhood, the area that includes Google New York headquarters, the paper said.
The move is another step in Google`s experiments with network provision.
It hosts a WiFi network around its California base in Mountain View and has been working on a fibre broadband project in Kansas City.

MythTV Adds Support For NVIDIA VDPAU
Published on 29 November 2008 01:03 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
56 Comments
Last month
NVIDIA brought PureVideo features to Linux
through a new API they call the
Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix
in their
NVIDIA 180.xx driver
NVIDIA also provided a set of patches that enabled
to use this API that offloads video decoding and other tasks to the GPU. The formats supported by VDPAU are currently H.264, MPEG, WMV3, and VC-1. In our
VDPAU benchmarks
we found this NVIDIA video implementation to work very well and the CPU usage was much lower during video playback.
With NVIDIA providing a header file in the driver that details this API, the community has been able to study VDPAU and one of the first fruits of this work is now available. Committed to
is a VDPAU decoder.
VDPAU in MythTV has full OSD (On-Screen Display), de-interlacers, color controls, and codecs support through the Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix. MythTV will automatically use VDPAU when it's compatible with the video format otherwise it falls back to using
. According to those that have tested it already, this community VDPAU implementation in MythTV actually exceeds that of NVIDIA's patch in MPlayer when it comes to quality and its capabilities.
This should be great news to anyone with a recent NVIDIA graphics card that uses MythTV for their HTPC needs.

My buddy recently just built a MLT out of PVC and I read online that the procedure to make a MLT called for CPVC, is there a problem with using PVC over CPVC or is it just a performance aspect or what?
He needs to use CPVC becasue PVC isn't ment for hot water while CPVC is
Primary 1-This Bud's for you Primary 2- Cream Ale Secondary 1- Strong Scotch Ale Secondary 2- empty Bottled/Kegged- Centinneal Blonde, Apfelwein Up Next- MyCastle (N.English Brown Ale), Hooch Pale Ale Thinking About: Tripple Bock, Chocolate Stout, open to suggestions"Every beer is a good beer if I can taste the brewer's intent" -Jim Koch Is this guy serious??:
CPVC would be the best as it is intended for high temperature usage. But as the manifold is not going to be under pressure, your buddy will be fine. And there isn't likely to be anything leeched from the PVC due to the temperatures involved in mashing.
You want the CPVC usually a cream color. PVC will leach Cl gas at high temps. Its a lousy ass plastic in general. I would go with copper if I were him.
We'll we've got some conflicting results here, some saying PVC will leech toxic chemicals into his brew, others saying that hes alright! Is this a serious serious problem, or can he hold off for a couple batches? Edit: And, he mashed a batch 2 days ago and has it fermenting, should we discard this batch because of chemical "leeching" as you guys are stating, or is it okay for us to drink when its done. I'd really like to keep this batch we did because it looked and smelled really good going into the fermenter, but I mean... come on.. chemicals
Thanks for the info FSR. We'll definitely be building a new one, and more than likely with copper tubing, or at least CPVC. Also, as I edited into my last post, we already brewed a batch using this PVC manifold and I wanna know if it is safe to drink. Thirdly, we've got some rubber washers on the inside, to seal the hole we drilled to connect to manifold. I guess my question is if those washers are safe.
I used PVC when I didn't know better and my manifold lasted for two batches before it was too warped to work anymore. I didn't have any problems with leeching, but obviously a manifold that lasts is what you want.
Yeah I hear that, we decided to make it out of copper. I will have to post pictures of it to ask the question how to seal the hole we drilled. Its a 3/4 inch hole we drilled with a 3/4 inch boring bit, and I was wondering what type of sealant or washers or what not I could use to seal this hole so no wort seeps into the lining of my cooler.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2008) |
Kandake or Kentake, also Candace, was the title for queens and queen mothers of the ancient African Kingdom of Kush, also known as Nubia and Ethiopia.
In the New Testament of the Christian Bible, a treasury official of "Candace, queen of the Ethiopians" returning from a trip to Jerusalem was baptised by Philip the Evangelist:
Then the Angel of the Lord said to Philip, Start out and go south to the road that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went: And behold, a man of Ethiopia, an Eunuch of great authority under Candace, Queen of Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship.[1]
The name Candace and its variants derive from the title Kandake.
A legend in the Alexander romance claims that Candace of Meroë fought Alexander the Great.[2] In fact, Alexander never attacked Nubia and never attempted to move further south than the oasis of Siwa in Egypt.[3][4]
In 25 BC the kandake Amanirenas, as reported by Strabo, attacked the city of Syene, today's Aswan, in territory of the Roman Empire; Emperor Augustus destroyed the city of Napata in retaliation.[5][6]
Bas-reliefs dated to about 170 B.C. reveal kentakes Shanakdakheto, dressed in armor and wielding a spear in battle. She did not rule as queen regent or queen mother, but as a fully independent ruler. Her husband was her consort. In bas-reliefs found in the ruins of building projects she commissioned, Shanakdakheto is portrayed both alone as well as with her husband and son, who would inherit the throne by her death.
Four African queens were known to the Greco-Roman world as the "Candaces": Amanishakhete, Amanirenas, Nawidemak, and Malegereabar.

Love Statue, St Julian's |
But I digress. Luckily, Malta has plenty of sculptures for tourists to take photos next to or on. One of the more famous is the Love Sculpture, which is the word 'love' written upside-down in hefty stone and plonked next to the waterfront in St Julians. It has been placed next to the water so that if you come upon it from the right angle, you can see 'love' written the right way up reflected in the water. Allegedly. In high season it is virtually impossible to walk that stretch of pavement without blocking someone trying to take a picture of their friend crouching in the 'O' of 'love'.
White Shadows |
And then on the pedestrianised shopping street of Bisazza in Sliema, you have a group of three people, cast in iron or some other substantial metal and drinking tea. And wouldn't you know it, there's a fourth seat around the table which is empty. Where's that camera?

Central Bank announces replacement of damaged currency early next month
Saturday, October 27 1 / Okrudolf 2012 20:18 | : Ambassador News | | |
{Baghdad Ambassador: News}
Central Bank of Iraq, Saturday, has signed a contract with a British company to replace damaged currency with new ones, stressing that the replacement process will be the beginning of the month of November, as pointed out that these currencies are only 1% of the currency in circulation in the market.
The deputy governor of the central bank, "the bank contracted with a British company specialized printing currency to print in small denominations which the 250 dinars and the JD 1000, for the purpose of replacing damaged with new ones," noting that "this company is one of the large companies, which are printed approximately 60% of the coins countries of the world. "
Saleh added that "the month of November will begin to replace damaged currency with new ones from the small groups," adding that "all these currencies damaged constitute only 1% of the currency in circulation, and many that are only worth a few."
And citizens suffer from the difficulty of buying small groups of markets due to damage and rupture most especially the two categories of the 250 and 1000 dinars.
He held the Iraqi Central Bank, on the tenth of April 2011, bank management responsibility currency traded damaged in the markets, warning of fines on banks uncooperative to the point of suspension, as he emphasized that what is being replaced from the currency damaged in the bank does not exceed 30% of the damaged actual.
The market maker is still in the mix. Therefore, I would not be surprised if we see new dinar and a float.
ZenMaverick (admin @ DinarAlert):
It doesn't make any sense at all w/o a rate inrease/ free float. I don't think that it is unreasonable to assume that the CBI and surrounding banks have enough IQD to just replace/ switch-out the damaged notes that they claim are only 1% of the currency, destroy them and reduce the M2 further. Why bother replacing them unless the 1% is a misrepresentation and not to mention the pain in the arse it'd be for everyday citizens to go to the banks, which are now trusted even less, to exchange there damaged notes AND WANT IQD in return vs. dollars. The game is afoot.

New York-New York
Hotel summary
New York - New York, on the south end of the beautiful Las Vegas Strip, is your vacation from your vacation planning. MGM Resorts took all the best things about the Big Apple, chucked all the things that make even New Jersey cringe, and turned the city that never sleeps into the hotel and casino that never disappoints. From the shadow of the half-sized Statue of Liberty, you'll feel like you've reach a new world – one that's admittedly less "lift my lamp beside the golden door" and more "OMG look at all that chocolate!"
There are a lot of things we could describe first at NY-NY, but… chocolate. Hershey's Chocolate World is like the heaven a child would create if they had magical powers for a day. Full of Hershey's candy bars, Reese's peanut butter cups and pieces, jumbo-sized Hershey's chocolate and strawberry syrup bottles, an entire wall full of Hershey's Kiss dispensers, an 800-pound replica of the Statue of Liberty carved from Hershey's Milk Chocolate and probably a bunch of blood sugar spikes and/or promises to work off the extra calories at the gym for the next month, this is one spot no chocolate lover can miss. And just inside the casino floor is the Chocolate Bar which is like the heaven that same child would make once they grew up and discovered vodka.
But there's a lot more at NY-NY to appreciate than just the chocolate. The Bar at Times Square is a quaint and clever establishment featuring dueling pianos and the type of atmosphere you see in sitcoms set in New York but would probably miss out on if you actually went there. It's the perfect introduction to the Village Street Eateries set into a charming New York style neighborhood setting, as well as the nearby Gallagher's Steakhouse. Several shops like Stupidiotic, Swatch and I Love NYNY as well as eateries like the cool roadside burger stand Shake Shack link right to the promenade on Las Vegas Boulevard. And just next to the shops lies a true NY-NY Las Vegas experience.
Nine Fine Irishmen already has an appealing name – who doesn't love an Irish lad? But what really makes this emerald establishment extraordinary is the atmosphere. Like an ode to the Irish heritage of old New York, the building was actually assembled in Ireland and shipped to the United States. So there's a fun fact to reiterate to people over and over after you've had a few too many whiskeys. Featuring classic Irish beers on a tap and a food menu that'll put a swing in your shillelagh, Nine Fine Irishmen is a gorgeous bar with an inviting demeanor and a fascinating history that we don't have time to tell right now.
Once you've tossed back a few pints, take a ride on the Big Apple Coaster. Maybe reverse the order on those activities if you want to minimize your chances of throwing up. Zip past hotel room windows and get a view of the Las Vegas Strip that no other roller coaster can match. It's the most fun you can have swinging around the Chrysler building without being Spider-Man.
As if that weren't enough to take your breath away, Zumanity by Cirque du Soleil is perhaps the hottest show in town that doesn't involve a strip club and a lie to your wife. The show is an exploration of sexuality through performance, acrobatics, dancing, comedy and all the extreme athleticism you'd expect from Cirque du Soleil. A stream of vignettes, each character embraces their sexual nature and puts on an obviously adult oriented experience full of passion, lust and a whole lot of fun.
From the skyline and the towers to the bars and the best shows, New York New York has brought to Las Vegas everything you could want from the Empire City. We may not be able to give you ocean views, but once you see the sun set over the mountains you won't miss the waves. And if you ever do feel nostalgic for that other New York, just stop into one of the bars and have the bartender make you mean Manhattan.

VERGENNES — The visiting Mount Abraham Union High School boys' soccer team controlled Saturday's first half against Vergennes, scoring twice on the way to a well-earned 2-0 win.
The Eagles had the better of the chances overall, and some nice work by VUHS goalie Steven Paquette, especially in that first half, helped keep his team within striking range.
In the first 40 minutes Mount Abe got strong goals from Ira Fisher and Alex McCormick from clever setups by Cale Thygesen and Theo Weaver, respectively.
MIDDLEBURY — A series of miscues and an opportunistic Rutland team made for a frustrating Homecoming setback for the Middlebury Union High School football team, 15-13, on Friday night.
MUHS fumbled a half-dozen times and lost four of them, two setting up two first-half Raider touchdowns and two killing promising second-half drives with the Tigers trying to rally.

BURLINGTON — Middlebury Union High School junior Max Moulton finished fourth in the boys' race at Saturday's Burlington Invitational Cross-Country Meet to highlight the efforts of runners from MUHS, Vergennes and Mount Abraham.
Moulton's run in 17:19.1 over the 5K course helped the Tiger boys finish eighth among 19 teams and second among the Division II teams competing with 218 points. Essex won with 63, followed by defending D-II champion Harwood (73) in second.
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — The Middlebury College women's soccer team improved its record to 4-0 with two shutout victories on the road this week. The Panthers are now ranked No. 9 in NCAA Division III.
The team earned a 3-0 victory at Colby College in NESCAC play Saturday. Rachel Madding scored the lone goal of the first half at 28:12 when she took a pass from Maddy Boston and scored on a long blast.
BRISTOL — Before the Mount Abraham Union High School boys' soccer team's Saturday morning home game, the players, parents, fans, school officials and family members of the late Levi Duclos watched as a plaque in the 2009 Mount Abe captain's memory was unveiled on the home team's bench.
Mount Abe coach Mike Corey spoke about Duclos, a standout player and team leader who perished in a tragic hiking incident this past winter.
His speech, which includes the plaque's inscription, went as follows:
MIDDLEBURY — Gardner Stone and Peter James will be welcomed into the Alumni Hall of Fame at this week's Middlebury Union High School football game.
Each year the Middlebury High School/Middlebury Union High School Alumni Association honors graduates by inducting them into its Hall of Fame.
BRISTOL — If the Mount Abraham/Vergennes cooperative high school football team wanted to establish itself as a legitimate Division II playoff contender, it had to beat somebody besides opening day victim Montpelier, a program that forfeited its most recent game.
Mission accomplished.
On Saturday, the Eagle offense came alive after a slow start for 267 rushing yards, and senior Cody Alexander's touchdown with 20 seconds to go and gave Mount Abe a dramatic 27-21 win over visiting Windsor, a D-II finalist in 2011.
BRANDON — The Otter Valley football team's 20-18 win over U-32 on Saturday was extra sweet as the team's first Homecoming win in five years.
"I made a point to the kids all week that we wanted to change (five years of Homecoming losses)," Coach Jim Hill said. "And they went out there and found a way to win."
ADDISON COUNTY — Middlebury overcame a strong effort by host Otter Valley to highlight area high school girls' soccer play in the latter half of last week.
In other games, Mount Abraham used a late goal to post a road win, and Vergennes dropped a tight game to a top Division II team.
On Saturday, the Otters came out strong in their homecoming game vs. MUHS, pressuring the Tigers and taking a 1-0 lead when Taylor Aines lofted a shot home in the seventh minute.
MIDDLEBURY — When Middlebury Union High School senior middie Lydia Allen's 25-yard bomb hit the back of the net late in Tuesday's first overtime, the host Tigers had defeated a stubborn Vergennes girls' soccer squad, 2-1, and improved to 2-0.
And that's as many wins as the program earned in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons combined; equaled the number of its regular-season wins in Allen's first varsity year, 2010; and is already halfway to its four-victory 2011 season.
It's safe to say the Tigers are a bit pumped.

FEMA denies aid to West, Texas for blast
Published by onHOUSTON (AP) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency is refusing to provide money to help rebuild the small Texas town where a deadly fertilizer plant explosion leveled numerous homes and a school, and killed 15 people.
According to a letter obtained by The Associated Press, FEMA said it reviewed the state's appeal to help West but decided that the explosion "is not of the severity and magnitude that warrants a major disaster declaration." FEMA has, however, provided emergency funds to individual residents.

Re: Full or fin keel?

Very good post. However, the Viking ship, as an example of a keel too shallow to sail upwind, was a bad choice. During the pre-Viking migration age, the Germanic tribes used longships that, to the best of our knowledge, had very shallow keels. The Anglo-saxon ship found at Sutton Hoo is a prime example. Although, in all fairness, due to the state of the find, we can't be sure it didn't have a deeper keel, like a Viking ship. It might have, but no one wants to jump to conclusions without evidence.
A modern replica ( although reduced in size ), of the vessel at Sutton Hoo, is the Sae Wylfing. This vessel will sail to wind at around 60 degrees, I think, but it's better reaching or running.
A deeper keel was the big innovation that the Vikings added to the Germanic longship design. The new, deeper keel allowed them to sail to wind, efficiently. A modern reproduction of the Gokstad ship, the Sigrid Storrada, will do 45 degrees to wind, at 5 mph, in moderate winds.
The abandonment of the longship design, in Northern Europe, was not due to performance issues. The ship that replaced them, the carrack, was easier to defend against the raiding attacks of the longships. The high sides, and even taller forecastle and poop deck, were hard to scale, if you were boarding from a low longship, and made a good platform for throwing rocks and things on the raiders.
This quirk, which made defense more important than performance, set ship design back until the 1800's, really
Are you saying that sailing boats did not get better in 800 years of evolution? It looks like that and it just does not make any sense. Compared with those 800 years of evolution full keels are very close in performance to fin keels

Hi Guys
