A dependency injection framework
An experimental dependency injection module that:
- supports "async" modules
- promote testability
- resolve dependencies recursively - detecting circular dependencies
- relies on code conventions
- reduce boilerplate code
- reduce usage of require()
Please read the origin of the name section before proceeding.
###lib/database.js (async module):
// init db connection etc, this module will be "ready" only when the callback is invoked dbconnectconfigconnectionString callback
return rc'di-example' httpPort: 1234 connectionString: 'some://thing'
require'darkmagic'inject // do application stuff httpcreateServer databasequery'select * from moo' responseendresults listenconfighttpPort
where are all the require calls?
index.js would typically look like this:
var http = require'http'var database = require'./lib/database'var config = require'./lib/config' database httpcreateServer connectionquery'select * from moo' responseendresults listenconfighttpPort
The framework eliminates the need for these declarations by inferring the dependencies from the parameters of a function (it does that using esprima)
how does darkmagic promote testability?
Assuming we want to test a module called loadData that looks like this:
var fs = require('fs') module.exports = function(filename, callback) { fs.readFile(filename, callback)}
If we are writing a test that involves this module we are basically stuck with actually writing a test file to the disk. Of course there are several modules and technics out there to solve this problem. Darkmagic's take on this is described below.
Here is a darkmagic version of this module:
module.exports = function (fs) { return function loadData(filename, callback) { fs.readFile(filename, callback) }}
looks very similar except that now it is quite easy to inject a mock fs object that will return a result we want in our testing. Lets add a crypto dependency too:
module.exports = function (fs, crypto) { return function loadData(filename, callback) { fs.readFile(filename, function (err, data) { if (err) return callback(err) // this is not a working example... var decipher = crypto.createDecipher('aesFoo', 'shhhhhhh') var result = decipher.update(data) result += decipher.final() callbackk(null, result) }) }}
Now when testing this code we could do this:
var mockFs = { readFile: ... }var loadData = require('../lib/loadData')(mockFs, require('crypto'))... test code here
or we could use darkmagic again, just to replace the fs dependency with a mock:
var mockFs = { readFile: ... }require('darkmagic').inject(function (loadData) { .. test code here}, { fs: mockFs })
How to's
do simple dependency
httpcreateServer fscreateReadStream'moo'piperesponse listen8080
require'darkmagic'inject // simple server is started but we dont know when its ready
do callbacks (async modules)
fsreadFile'moo' callback
var server = httpcreateServer responsewritemooFile serveron'listening' callbacknull server serverlisten8080
require'darkmagic'inject httpget'http://localhost:8080' // response content should be equal to our moo file
return a value
moduleexports = port: 8080
require'darkmagic'inject httpcreateServerlistenconfigport
specify explicit dependencies
this will not work for local files though
var overrides = 'fooBar': 'MyCrazyNodeModule__name' 'barFoo': '/home/moo/lib/1.js'require'darkmagic'inject overrides
listen for new dependencies
var injector = require'darkmagic'inject injectoron'new dependency' // dependency metadata // artifact is require('smurf') before injection
inject a dash seperated npm module
this will not work for local files though
require'darkmagic'inject // same as require('find-port')
add more search paths for local modules
require'darkmagic'inject $injectoraddSearchPath'/a/path/to/somewhere' // add this path as first location to search in $injectorinject
Handling errors
By default errors that occur during the dependency resolution process are simply thrown. Specifying a second callback to the inject method will prevent that and the error handler will be called instead
Dark Magic - Full disclosure
This framework uses a lot of "dark magic" (hence its name) tricks that many will view as dangerous. These people are probably right and you should listen to them!
####This module:
parses function signature and uses the parameters, literally to load modules, first attempting to require them as they are and then by attaching them to various predefined search paths in your local file system
Attempt to inject and invoke recursively EVERY module that exports a function and override the module system cache with the result of the invocation for that module. This behavior is customizable and is turned off by default for external modules (core/node_modules)
dashify camelCase (camel-case) parameters when trying to find non local node modules
infer that an exported function is async if the last paramter is called "callback"
relies heavily on the module system, it does not cache the dependencies you create ** as a result, one injector is use for one process. You can create more injectors but they will share the same underlying require cache.
####Fine print if all else fails you can do
require('darkmagic').inject(main, { a: {}, b: {}, c: {} }) function main(a, b, c) { }
these dependencies will not be cached using the module system but in the injector
- provider class factories - parameters that start with an Upper case char will be resolved be looking for a class factory
- static analysis of dependencies
- implement something that will replace flame di with require()s and initializations (code generator)
- document options and customizations
- callbacks that arent getting called ... timeout ? dont let the process exit in anycase

Many throng Net and eSeva centres for SSC results
ELURU: The announcement of Class 10 results by the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) Board on Wednesday gave students and parents anxious moments. The hi-tech medium of Internet through which the board promised to make available the results to "instantaneously" turned out to be of little help to students.
Consequently, eSeva and Internet centres in the city were flooded by a large number of students and parents seeking to know the results.
The details pertaining to the results available on the Net were said to be incomplete. The Net centres could not provide marks list subject-wise. Only details relating to the division of marks and pass/fail status of the candidates were displayed.
Strangely, the eSeva centres provided all the details, including the marks list. Those dependent on the SMS mode, however, were lucky.
P. Muralidhar, a city-bank officer, told The Hindu that he could receive the details of subject-wise marks pertaining to his daughter with ease through a flash of message provided by a mobile service provider. Meanwhile, the West Godavari district secured 5th place at the State level in the 10th class results this year with 85.28 pass percentage as against 4th place last year. According to District Education Officer P. Srinivas, 35,882 students passed out of the total 42,077 candidates who took the exam. Students fared badly in Hindi when compared to other subjects this time.

Heritage Resort at Galibeedu, CoorgPosted Nov 8, 2010 on Hotels.com
Loved this place for the following reasons: a. Cottage-type rooms widely spaced. Not too many cottages imply low noise and crowds. b. Comfortable, if a little basic, furnishings in the room with windows and a portico that open out onto beautiful views of the valley c. Restaurant at the top of the hill - awesome views again and the tranquility is simply superb, especially in the early mornings and evenings d. Set on a rather steep hillside with paths, the climb to the restaurant might be tough on old people but otherwise, its fun and a good appetite-builder e. Very attentive and helpful staff at the facility f. Did I mention that the views were simply great? g. A tad expensive off their site but search for deals online and it should b manageable h. Tranquility and wide open spaces ( awesome for kite-flying,too, by the way) lead to a relaxed holiday i. An ayurvedic massage center on campus adds to the allure, if you are so inclined j. Not too far from Madikeri and the other sights and sounds of Coorg All in all, a rejuvenating experience and a wonderful stay. A definite repeat visit is called for.

The set of Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man has lately been plagued with a run of bad luck, to say the least.
Actually, it's becoming nearly arachnophobic.
First, a construction worker died last month while a crew worked to recreate the top two floors of a 1930s-style building on the set. A crane hauling a large metal case suddenly fell over on its side and the metal case hit the man in the head, killing him instantly.
Then, on Tuesday, star Tobey Maguire's stunt double, Zack Hudson, reportedly fractured his leg while performing one of the hair-raising Spidey maneuvers. Instead of skimming along a brick structure, Hudson smashed into the wall. Information on his condition could not be confirmed by the studio, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Also Tuesday, four red-and-black Spider-Man costumes went missing from the Sony Pictures Studios lot, according to the studio. The Spidey one-piece molded suits have as many as 120 individual silk screens for shading and highlighting.
The Culver City Police Department is investigating the incident.
The studio has set up a hotline number-(310) 244-1044-for any tips about the whereabouts of the costumes and is offering a $25,000 reward.
"We consider these costumes valuable property and we hope this reward will help to get them back," a studio spokesman told Reuters.
What is the potential value of the costumes? According to Sotheby's Auctions, the Batman and Robin costumes worn by Adam West and Burt Ward on the 1960s TV series sold for a total $68,500.
The highly anticipated film, the first big-screen adaptation of Marvel Comics' famed superhero, may have been cursed from the beginning. It's taken several years to get this film into production, with a legal battle over rights and changing of hands in the talent department - at one point, James Cameron was slated to direct - hindering the film's start.
It finally got rolling in January, with Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead series) at the helm. Maguire (The Cider House Rules) stars as Peter Parker, the nebbish youngster who, after receiving a bite from a radioactive spider, is able to stick to walls and fight the bad guys. Willem Dafoe, off of his Oscar-nominated performance in Shadow of the Vampire, dons more makeup and ghoulish-ness playing the arch-nemesis Green Goblin. Kirsten Dunst (Get Over It) plays Mary Jane Watson, Parker's next-door-neighbor and love interest.
Recent troubles have not delayed production, the studio has said. The film is slated for release May 2002.

not to belabor the obvious, but ALL "scientific polls/surveys"
are in fact, what they call in the industry as "push polls."
there is no such unicorn as a 'neutrally phrased' questionnaire.
every question in a survey is a loaded one, designed to yield a specific range of answers, to be used as a metric to formulate statist policies. that fact never changes.
But of course, this is a percentage of only those surveyed, NOT the entirety of a population of a given nation as a whole: ie, obviously, nobody surveyed the whole population of China's 1.355 billion! Duh. LOL.
Still, if you had to gauge a vox populi/prevailing sentiment among an identifiable group of masses, I'd highly recommend John Zogby's polls, and for more mainstream to slightly left of center: Pew Research Poll, which this one is. Gallup, is predominantly pro-state, but observed in context, and depending on how you yourself are individually aware of macro geopolitical trajectory, their poll results do in fact reveal interesting data.
that said, this maybe your wishful thinking: "Anyone who says they like to be spied on is paid to say it." but I don't think I have to remind you that historically, all modern tyrants have been popularly elected into 'office,' at least initially.
And history's littered with dead souls...who died at the hands of those whose daily repetitive self-rationalization mantra was: "I was just following orders."
while these type of polls/surveys are a broad generalization to be sure, that said, as historically observably visible: I would confidently argue that acquiescent sheeple are unfortunately always a majority, in almost all cultures.
so, frankly, I don't find this push poll results to be all that surprising, particularly, that of the Amerikan sheeple who were surveyed.
Predictions in due Time...

Brain-Control Gaming Headset Launching Dec. 21 112
from the oh-hey-it's-real dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Back when I had regular EEGs a technician would spend about ten minutes squeezing conductive cream onto my scalp before clipping the electrodes on. If you don't use a conductive liquid your signal is going to have to pass through your hair, which doesn't sound good for their N/N ratio. So what's it going to be? Shaved heads or washing your hair after gaming?
After watching the video, a very specific quotation comes to mind.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo.
- Andy Finkel
If you look at the hardware itself, there is a gyroscope attached. Hence, when the fat white guy wants to lift the stone, he leans his head back. I suppose you are to watch him wave his hands, but the real action is going on literally on his head.
Now if someone could build an iPhone app that can do this, we'd have all the same functionality at an even higher price!
One wonders what kind of adoption they expect with a $299 price tag.
Early ones.
Until such a device can interpret thoughts as we have them, without requiring the user to "think" certain patterns... I think I'll hold off on buying mine.
I have the development release and the electrodes use cotton-like "wicks", which are wetted with saline. While I am not familiar with other EEG devices, this does not require an external amplifier, and is connected wirelessly to a USB dongle.
No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.

Wedding invitations
Perfect Promise Foldover Pockets The quality was fantastic. And the production/shipping timing was amazing.
Forever & Ever Foldover Pockets I loved that I could customize every single part of my invitation - from the wording to the colors. I'm super happy with how they turned out. The best part was that I was able to see a sample in my colors before ordering my invitations.
Very Classy
Forever Yours Foldover Pockets My wedding invitations just came in a couple days ago. They are absolutely beautiful. The colors are exactly as they show online. The quality of the paper and printing is magnificent. The processing time is exactly what they tell you, usually a week. The one thing I was disappointed with was them not sending me a tracking # (via email) once my order shipped like they said they would. However, my order still came in on time. I had my sister order my bridal shower invitations from Magnet Street as well and I can't wait to see how they look. I would definitely recommend Magnet Street for anyone who is looking for simple yet classy invitations for any special occasion.
Very Impressed
Botanical Bliss Foldover Pockets I love my invititations, great quality and they even give you extras!
Modern Elegance
Bold Statement Foldover Pockets I LOVE my invitations. I personalized them to have our logo replace the logo that originally came on the front of the invitation. I removed the arrows on the front as well but left the ones inside. I changed the colors multiple times and the final result is perfect. I love that you can request custom changes to make your invite exactly what you want. I was even called to make sure my numbers were correct because I ordered less of one product (on purpose). The service and speed were right on target and the cost point could not have been better. The coupons are fabulous and so is the quality. My invitations cost half of what my sister-in-laws cost from an invitation shop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I fermented about four gallons of cider in a carboy, have radked them into half-gallon jugs where they have cleared very nicely. There is sediment, but I can siphon off the clear stuff.
I bought a new capper, and have collected a couple dozen 14-oz beer bottles in which I'd like to make carbonated cider. (The rest, i'll bottle as still cider in wine bottles).
I need help with two questions:
How much sugar should I put into each beer bottle to get a decent carbonation without making a bomb? (I won't add it to each bottle individually, but multiply the per-bottle amount to match the number of bottles.)
Do I need to add more yeast, or will there be enough old yeast even though the cider's clear?
Thank you for any help.
Hey Columbian - I'm still a total noob to cider brewing, but I've done a fair amount of reading on this and I'll pass on what I've learned so far. Just a warning though - this works if you want a sweet carbonated cider, but won't work if you want a dry carbonated cider. If that's what you want, you can read on if you like but it probably won't help you, lol.
- The preferred ingredient for back-sweetening/carbing cider seems to be apple juice concentrate. I haven't seen anyone say this but I'd assume you need to make sure it doesn't have any chemical preservatives just like the cider you started with. A couple sources I've read say to start with half a tube (so 6 oz.) of concentrate per gallon (a lot of people add the same amount at primary as well). I would add it to a new carboy and siphon onto it before bottling or something, as it would be a pain to divide it out and add a dose to each bottle.
- When you bottle you can use a cool simple trick to know when you have enough carb. You fill a plastic pop bottle (like a 16 oz Coke bottle or whatever) with your cider at the same time you bottle, and keep it with your bottles. When the plastic bottle is hard, like it would be before you first opened the Coke, you know you're good to go and it's time to cold crash etc.
- Just remember that cold-crashing won't actually kill the yeast but only stop fermentation while the temp stays low. If you want to store them outside the fridge you'll need to warm-water bath pasteurize or something, which I don't know a lot about yet.
Anyway hope this helps; if not I'm sure some of the more experienced brewers here can help out.
EDIT: Almost forgot - from what I've read adding more yeast should not be necessary!
I've used 3/4 cup brown sugar per 5 gal. or 1/3 cup brown sugar per 2 gal. to prime but I have never put a small amount in each bottle. I hear that is how some euro-breweries bottle condition with candy sugar.

The subjects are what you'd expect - the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassination of JFK, the 'British Invasion' focussing on music, civil rights, Vietnam, the coming of age of television, the Space Race, and, of course sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Tom Hanks walked the carpet confidently to open the BFI London Film Festival. He will also close it with his other movie in the show, Saving Mr. Banks. Hanks bestrides this Festival like a movie superstar colossus.
It is 2009 and an American cargo ship is heading through international waters. Plain sailing? Not quite. This is a ship that will need to steer around the Horn of Africa, a notorious hotspot for knave Somali pirate boats. Based on a true story, director Paul Greengrass ably documents a harrowing hijacking incident of nerve-shredding terror.

My point was that it's not XBox exclusive. Whether it was exclusive more than a month ago is no reason to own one now. So, what is your point?
The media is always hyping doom and gloom on the GC, because they've got nothing better to do. But I like the moves Nintendo has made lately to push the GC.
Seriously though, now is a good time to own all of the major consoles. There are so many good titles out and coming out soon, that having all three means you can choose the best of best. This is heresy for me, since I'm a developer, but it is the PC that is on the way out.
I love to tinker with and build new PCs as much as anyone on

Graphics card maker fed up with reference designs
The Inquirer reports major Taiwanese graphics card makers are fed up with ATI's and NVIDIA's forcing of reference graphics card sales. The companies complain the reference designs offer no opportunities for brand recognition and have very poor margins:
How much margin? On average, for every percentage of profit a board vendor gets from selling a reference board, they make 3 per cent from a minor rework, 8 per cent from a major and 20 from a total rework.
The reporter says graphics card vendors are looking forward to Intel's Larrabee, which is expected to give vendors early access to the GPU design so they can release custom designed Larrabee cards at the same time as the chip and its reference design card launch.
But these reworks take time, so there is often a one- or even two-quarter lag between the availability of the reference and the reworked cards. And that erodes profit margins on the reworked cards.
Hence all the board vendors - including the few remaining NV- or ATI-only houses - are eagerly awaiting Intel Larrabee, precisely for the design freedom it is expected to bring.
Well, remember .. it's the inquirer.
More on AMD TWKR CPUs
Recently we already reported about this but AMD has revealed more details on their 'TWKR' Black Edition CPUs. AMD confirmed that TWKR CPUs are designed to handle more voltage, which in turn allows them to safely be cranked up to higher clock speeds provided you have extraordinary cooling.
AMD says that the chips are limited edition parts -- less than 100 CPUs will be made -- and won't be made available to the general public. AMD has posted three TWKR photos on their AMD Unprocessed flickr account, and a new Youtube video has been released showing off their OC'ing prowess (CPUs are OC'ed to speeds in excess of 6.5GHz on LN2 and liquid helium). Here are the highlights straight from AMD:
- The AMD Phenom II X4 42 Black Edition TWKR processor is a limited-edition chip created to provide extreme overclockers with a powerful tool to initiate serious performance.
- Designed to reach the utmost performance barriers under extreme cooling, this part demonstrates AMD's superior engineering design quality.
- The TWKR parts can handle more voltage, scale higher, and run faster than other processors on the market.
- As the same processor that AMD used to demonstrate the record-breaking overclocking potential of AMD Phenom II CPUs earlier this year, the TWKR processor is unmatched in yielding high frequencies at extreme cold temperatures, like in this video here.
- With less than 100 processors worldwide, these TWKR processors will not be for sale.
- AMD is giving these parts to select members of the extreme overclocking community as a tribute for their support and to encourage them to push the limits of overclocking.
- AMD understands that overclocking is not for everyone. For mainstream users that don't push their desktop PCs to the absolute limits, the same engineering that goes into the extreme performance of 'TWKR' processors can be found in every AMD Phenom II processor available today.
NVIDIA GT220 and G210 DX10.1 GPUs surface
More info on the value-oriented G210 (GPU), which will ship with 24 stream processors clocked at 1425MHz, while the graphics core operates at 600MHz. GPU-Z also confirmed 512MB of DDR2 running at 790MHz, although DDR3 support would also be offered. The board's memory interface is just 64-bit, with peak memory bandwidth of 12.6GB/sec. The cards will supposedly sell for $30-$35 and replace today's GeForce 9400 in NVIDIA's lineup.
Upping the performance factor is NVIDIA's GT220 GPU, which was previously codenamed GT216. GT220 ships with 48 shader processors clocked at 1373MHz and 625MHz graphics core clock, while the memory interface is 128-bit wide and runs at 800MHz (although the GPU-Z screenshot indicates 790MHz). VR-Zone says 3 variants will be offered, with each SKU shipping with a different memory type: DDR2, DDR3, or GDDR3. Up to 1GB of memory will be offered and prices will top out at $60.
This GPU is intended to replace the GeForce 9500 family.
Windows 7 preorder big success on Amazon
Well, of course Windows 7 preorders for $49 - $99 are going to be a hit, beats the heck out of buying it for full retail. The two offers have proven exceptionally popular on Amazon.
The Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade package vaulted to No. 1, not just in Amazon's software store, but among all electronics products on the site. Meanwhile, the Windows 7 Professional upgrade was No. 2 among software products. Amazon also has a lot of Windows 7 info on its site, as well as a paid delivery option that guarantees that the product will arrive on October 22.
Windows 7 has completely sold out of pre-orderable copies in Japan, which combines sales from the 17 retailers involved with the early orders. Apparently, this is a grand total of about 30,000 copies of the operating system, and it took 1.5 days (out of the 10 that were allocated) for this event to happen. Don't think that this offer hasn't been popular in the U.S., though; Windows 7 immediately shot to the top of Amazon sales.
The Pirate Bay Sold To Advertising Company for $7.8m
In a press release, the Swedish advertising company Global Gaming Factory X AB announced that they acquired The Pirate Bay, popular Swedish torrent indexing web site, for SEK 60,000,000 ($7.8 million) - SEK 30,000,000 in cash and the rest in newly issue shares.
"The changeover of ownership is scheduled for August 2009, whereby GGF will take over the operation of the site. The company says that after it has completed the acquisition it will launch new business models so that copyright owners get paid, which is clearly a huge diversion from TPB
NVIDIA CUDA Technology might Support AMD GPUs
In completely weird news today NVIDIA is said to be working on enabling its prestigious CUDA technology for AMD's GPUs. This solution will enable application developers to optimize their products for use on GPUs from both NVIDIA and AMD, using the CUDA technology. Consequently, this will enable NVIDIA, currently the world's leading vendor of graphics processing units, to gain from the GPU sales of its main competitor, AMD.
There are a number of general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing standards available today, including OpenCL and Microsoft's DirectX Compute, both of which are currently supported by two leading graphics chip makers, NVIDIA and AMD. However, the two rival companies have also developed their own solutions, with NVIDIA placing a big bet on its CUDA technology, and AMD trying to make up for lost space with its Stream solution. However, according to a recent news-article on the techradar, citing NVIDIA's chief scientist, Bill Dally, the company could be working on further expanding the working environment for its CUDA solution.

AVerMedia launches HD dual digital tuner
AVerMedia announced it has released its AVerTVHD Duet dual TV tuner. The Windows 7-compatible product can receive over-the-air HD Digital TV signals (ATSC) or unencrypted digital cable (ClearQAM) and can either record two programs simultaneously or else allow users to watch one program while recording another. AVerTVHD Duet sports a PCI Express interface that is faster than a traditional PCI connection.
A Picture-in-Picture feature lets users watch TV while working on their PCs, with windows sizes that fill one quarter, one ninth or one 16th of the screen. A transparent mode lets users see through it to view their entire desktop at the same time. Bundled with AVer's MediaCenter application, users can access PVR-like features such as pausing, rewinding and recording live TV as well as a program schedule and time shift capabilities.
The software supports digital sound, closed captioning and has support for 1080i HD quality programs. Also, H.264 encoding lets users record TV at a 320x240 resolution for playback on iPods, iPhones, Sony's PSP or other portable multimedia players.
The dual HD tuner without the MediaCenter program costs $70, while bundled with the software is priced at $90.
NVIDIA Tegra phone due from a big five firm
A major smartphone manufacturer is due to launch a phone based on NVIDIA's Tegra platform, the company has let slip in interviews. One of the "top five" smartphone producers should have a phone based on the advanced graphics technology before the end of the year. The company has also said in a discussion with CrunchGear that it should reach AT&T and T-Mobile for about $199.
Details of the phone in question are vague, though it would likely involve an APX 2500 or 2600 chipset that could provide significantly accelerated 3D and decode 720p video, including off the device if it includes an HDMI port. NVIDIA officially favors Android and Windows Mobile for phones but has so far only demonstrated Windows Mobile in public. Microsoft's Zune HD uses a Tegra part but has no phone features and should use a custom version of Windows CE.
The addition will give the unnamed company a visual advantage compared to most smartphones; to date, only very high-end phones like the Samsung i8910 have been capable of 720p and aren't available in the US. The iPhone 3GS has much more advanced 3D than most phones but doesn't play 720p.

Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard review
Let me introduce the Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P which comes with AMD 770 chipset (770 Northbridge and AMD SB710 Southbridge) and is AM3 Ready.
So get this I spotted this little cute Gigabyte motherboard still with 6x SATA, Gigabyte Ethernet, RAID, 4 DIMM slots, integrated audio, dual-BIOS and the entire Gigabyte enchilada of motherboards features for roughly 79 USD. Here in Europe you can even pick them up at just over 50 EUR. Pop on a nice value AMD Phenom II processors (as yes it's AM3 ready as well) and you might have purchased a heap, seriously a HEAP of value.

Clarkdale will have two cores each capable of two threads, and include integrated graphics and a memory controller. It
Windows 7 way more expensive in EU
ComputerWorld reports Microsoft will charge Europeans up to 100 percent more than in the U.S. for its upcoming Windows 7 operating system. Europeans pay about 41 percent more for the Home Premium edition, 91 percent more for Ultimate, and about double as much for the Professional edition:
U.S. consumers will pay only $119 for the same software after a two-week pre-order sales discount expires July 11. That means EU residents will pay 41% more, and U.K. consumers 10% more, than U.S. buyers for Home Premium Upgrade.
Other editions will come with an even higher surcharge. Windows 7 Professional, the key retail edition for businesses, will sport a price tag of
Elemental CUDA plugin for Adobe Creative Suite CS4
NVIDIA announced Elemental Technologies has released an Adobe Creative Suite CS4 plugin that should dramatically boost performance for users with NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards.

Comet errors result in loss
Stolen bases by LMC provides necessary runs
Comet first baseman Byron Buckley loses control of the ball as a Mustang outfielder runs into first base during CCC's game against Los Medanos College on the Baseball Field on Thursday. The Comets fell 8-2 to the Mustangs. Qing Huang / The Advocate
After losing two extra inning games earlier in the season to Los Medanos College, the Comets struggled to score in their final game against LMC Thursday.
CCC (5-13 in Bay Valley Conference), fell 8-2 to LMC (12-6 in BVC) in a windy conference game to sweep the series.
"It's been a tough series," Comets' outfielder Lamar Smith said. "We just got outplayed."
The Comet defense had trouble throughout the game, allowing nine stolen bases and committing six errors.
"The pitcher's arm was slow and the catcher's arm was sore, and they were able to capitalize on our weakness," CCC coach Marvin Webb said. Comet pitcher Philip Chavez walked Mustang shortstop Ryan Lacey, who then stole second on a 3-2 count. Mustang outfielder Matt Jacobson then advanced to second off a hit by Mustang's first baseman Ryan Welsh. Jacobson went on to steal third base on a 1-2 pitch count to bring Lacy home.
LMC coach Anthony D'Albora said that the running ability of a handful of players allowed his team to put pressure on the Comet defense.
"The wind had an effect on the game and that aggressive strategy worked out in our favor," D'Albora said. "The ball wasn't going anywhere."
LMC was able to take the lead early, scoring two runs in the first inning via an RBI single by Mustangs' first baseman Ryan Welsh and another RBI single by Mustangs' third baseman Steven Otaguro.
The Comets put a run on the board in the second inning. CCC third basemen Timmion Hughes got on base due to an error by Welsh. Before scoring, he advanced to third base on a single hit by Comets' shortstop Jihan Weisner. From third Hughes capitalized on a wild pitch and scored a run cutting LMC's lead 2-1.
Right fielder Even Ray's RBI single in the sixth would be CCC's only earned run during the game.
"We were swinging the bats well, but anything that got hit in the air was being caught," Smith said.
Chavez had a rough game. He pitched six innings, allowing eight hits, five runs, two earned runs and issuing five walks. His Mustang counterpart Ben Polansky fared much better. He pitched all nine innings allowing eight hits, two runs and two walks.
Losing the previous extra inning games to LMC took a lot out of the team, Smith said.
"It's demoralizing, but we've got to keep playing."
The Comets will play their last three games at Mendocino College starting Tuesday.

A Forrester analyst just back from Buenos Aires reports on the hot topics among online retailers in Latin America's third-largest economy.
I spent several days in Buenos Aires last week which was fantastic—great fun and really helpful in terms of understanding what's happening in the e-commerce market. Wednesday was the annual E-commerce Day event: It was packed with well over a thousand people in the audience. I presented on global e-commerce trends that are set to impact the market in Argentina, and also met with a number of online retailers.
A handful of takeaways from these conversations:
E-commerce in Argentina is still at an early stage. There is tremendous interest in driving e-commerce in Argentina, but the real growth is yet to come. Today's roughly $2 billion online retail market is dominated by MercadoLibre, with traditional retailers like Falabella, Garbarino and Walmart increasingly making the online channel a priority. Newer entrants like Dafiti are also carving out a niche in categories such as apparel.
Intra-regional cross-border e-commerce is very limited today. There was much discussion about cross-border e-commerce with China, but today little cross-border e-commerce exists within Latin America itself. Online retailers are anxious to tap into consumers in other countries in the region, but few have made concerted efforts in this area.
Most mobile initiatives are relatively new and focused exclusively on smartphones. Most online retailers' mobile initiatives are in their infancy in Argentina. Many larger retailers are just rolling out mobile offerings (both apps and websites), and virtually all are focused on smartphones rather than tablets.
Delivery timeframes are typically in the one-week range. Unlike in Brazil where consumers in the major cities have been led to expect free one- or two-day delivery timeframes, in Argentina, online retailers don't face the same challenge of meeting these high consumer expectations around delivery times.
Product selection is often cited as a hurdle to e-commerce. In several conversations, the issue of the limited number of brands available in the country came up as impacting the growth of e-commerce. Current import restrictions means that not all foreign brands are available, and often only a limited number of models or styles are offered. There is a sense that there will need to be a broader product selection available online in order to convince consumers to buy.
Other issues such as credit card payments also challenge e-commerce in Argentina, yet there is optimism that the opportunity is substantial and we've barely scratched the surface. At Forrester, we'll be looking at this market in greater depth this fall as we update our online retail forecast for Latin America.

RECIPE: How to substitute Honey for sugar in a recipe.
forestelvesDecember 21, 2009
Substitute 3/4 cups of Honey for 1 cup of sugar. Reduce the total amount of other liquids in the recipe by 1/4 cup per cup of Honey.
For those people who found bad Honey (like clover Honey) that should be used for cooking.
P.S. I like Dark honey not light clover Honey because it has no flavor that I can taste. It tastes like sugar water to me.

On the Design of Passive RFID Tags for ASK Modulation
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Design of passive UHF RFID tag for ASK modulation is investigated. It is shown that tag antenna structural mode strongly affects the tag's backscattered field, shaping the phase and magnitude of the modulated signal. In contrast to prior art, the proposed circuit design can manipulate the effects of the tag antenna structural term, ensuring phase continuity of the backscattered field, which is a necessary condition for ASK modulation. Furthermore, the structural field can be favourably exploited, increasing the total backscattered power, by properly selecting the circuit's parameters within realistic values as shown herein.

7 Myths About Her Period
Men don't have periods, but the women in their lives do. So we asked a woman to correct some dopey male misconceptions. (One involves sharks!)
By Anna Davies
Many guys are okay with the idea of getting down and possibly dirty when a woman is having her period. But at the same time, the majority of men I've dated have been clueless about what's actually going on down there. And not only is it annoying to be asked ridiculous questions about a totally normal biological event, it's also a turnoff — think of it as the equivalent of a woman asking you if your erections are caused by penis elves. So I'm going to debunk the seven most common myths about her time of the month.
Also: 5 Tips For Being Better At Foreplay
Not only is there more lubrication (which equals more pleasure), but the combo of hormones and muscle movements that occur during an orgasm can actually relieve cramps. She may be declining sex because she's worried you'll be weirded out, so tell her you'll lay down a towel and that a little blood is no big deal. (After all, you're a huge fan of The Walking Dead.) If either of you are still squeamish, hop in the shower together.

Gallery: Mecanoo Breaks Ground on Green-Roofed KIEM School in the Nethe...
Mecanoo has just broken ground on one of their most exciting projects to date – the green-roofed KIEM education complex in the Netherlands. Located in Dordrecht amidst several parks and a nature conservancy, the complex features five schools in one, all brick, and all covered with a sedum roof that creates continuity with the surrounding green spaces. Inside, carbon neutral wood panelling establishes a warm, homelike environment that promotes comfort, learning, and security.
The 5, 322 square meter facility features four little brick houses of different colors (to help the smaller children find their way) that are arranged around transparent glass zones. Natural light floods the interior space, and Mecanoo has also ensured that a healthy breeze runs through at all times. Air-conditioning is decentralized, which cuts down on energy consumption, and the wood has both a damp-regulating function and decent thermal storage properties.
Mecanoo has been featured on Inhabitat many times as a result of their consistent commitment to sustainability that in no way compromises the aesthetic merit of their numerous projects. KIEM caters to children with long-term illnesses and severe learning disabilities, and also offers pre-school and after-school care services. This is a groundbreaking project that should be complete by 2013.
