Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable muggle aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's a wizard, just as his parents were.
But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright.
From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.
J.K. Rowling was a struggling single mother when she wrote the beginnings ofHarry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on scraps of paper at a local cafe. But her efforts were soon rewarded with an award from the Scottish Arts Council enabling her to finish the novel. She has since won numerous awards including the ABBY Award (American Booksellers Award) 1999.
This was perfect to have on our vacation not only did the kids enjoy it so did we
Best prices I could find on these audio books, helped my reluctant reader to learn to love books.
I liked the form factor of an audiobook for this series so much that I bought this for my niece and my dad. They both are active people that would not sit still to read even one of the books. I am one of those folks myself. But I listened to this on my mp3 player while I mowed the lawn, took a walk, etc. And it was great "reading"!
I ordered the first of the Harry Potter's books on tape for my 30 year-old daughter for Christmas - she was thrilled with the gift and loves listening to it on her long drive to work. I'll be ordering the other Harry Potter's books for her birthday. You are never too old to enjoy Harry Potter. Also, I couldn't be happier with Overstock and their product and how quickly they delivered!
This is the first book of a great series about the adventures of Harry Potter. I highly recommend it. The CD was in perfect shape and was just as described by the seller. I highly recommend this alternative to reading a book.When you are in your car for long periods, It makes the time just fly by!!

The partners in the remote field are working on a floating production vessel capable of producing up to 7 million metric tpy of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, the report said. That's nearly twice the size of Royal Dutch Shell's planned Prelude development off the coast of Western Australia, the paper said.
By STEPHEN BELL
ExxonMobil and BHP Billiton are planning the world's biggest floating liquefied natural gas operation from their Scarborough field off the coast of Western Australia state, the West Australian newspaper reported Monday, without disclosing where it received the information.
Project operator ExxonMobil may be days away from lodging documents with federal environmental authorities spelling out the scope of a Scarborough floating LNG development, it said.
The proposal could dash hopes that Woodside Petroleum might source Scarborough gas to underpin an eventual expansion of its onshore Pluto gas-export facility in Western Australia, the paper added.
Spokespeople for ExxonMobil and BHP Billiton weren't available for comment Monday.
ExxonMobil has indicated previously that floating LNG is an option for processing gas from the Scarborough field, located about 300 kilometers from the coastline. Dow Jones Newswires

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?
Yes 59%
No 12%
Depends how long current prices last 30%

The new Honeywell central vacuum attachment sets and power units are manufactured in N. America by Electrolux Home Care, makers of BEAM and other brands of central vacuum systems. The new powerbrush was first released as the BEAM Solaire, later as the Eureka Excellence and now as the Honeywell Deluxe. The most widely sold powerbrush platform from Electrolux the Deluxe power nozzle is full 13.5" width cleaning with a heavy duty base and neck.
A geared belt provides a positive transfer of power from motor to brush for superior brushing and grooming action of carpeted floors. The Deluxe powerbrush is auto adjusting and accommodates all levels and depths of carpeting with ease. The low profile 2.75" height Deluxe powerbrush features a non-marring soft over mold bumper and rubber coated wheel set to protect furniture and baseboards along with allowing efficient use of the powerbrush on hard floors without scratching. The full power 120V brush motor provides aggressive agitation and the center mounted intake throat provides quick transfer of soil and debris from floor into the vacuum system.
The narrow geared belt design provides many times the strength and life span of a wide rubber belt and also allows for great edge cleaning on both sides. The Deluxe powerbrush features belt-motor protection with a auto resting circuit that stops the motor if a large object, such as a sock or corner of an area rug, is pulled into the nozzle and binds the brush roller. An LED light on the rear of the nozzle signals normal operation with a green LED light and trouble with a red LED light.
Long life shock resistant LED lights are also used under the headlight lens to illuminate the cleaning path. The full motion wand connection is commercial quality in it's strength and features a large step-on wand release, the coveted quick disconnect feature that allows the use to switch floor tools without removing the wand.
The new wand is a design used in many of the better Electrolux built products and provides the most advanced connection system used in central vacuum attachment kits. Along with quick disconnection at both ends that allows push button attachment and removal the new wand is also telescopic with 5 positions and extends from its compact form - great for storage or cleaning nearby areas such as stairs - to the full length of two standard wands. The new Electrolux built wand used on the Honeywell attachment set is also fully integrated with all power wiring concealed within it's sleek design. No more floppy cords hanging off the back of the wand, nothing to snag on your furniture as you clean around or under tables, chairs or the kitchen cabinets. No cords, no plugs and no wires to deal with - ever.
Electrolux continued their new connection system through the powered nozzle, up the new integrated telescopic wand and into the new hose handle code named: SUMO. The new Honeywell hose grip includes features you expect; easy to hold, full 360° swivel connection to the hose body and a 3-position thumb operated switch that allows control of the power brush and power unit independently. The new design of the SUMO is a style that integrates these features with the new easy-to-connect wand system with a simple keyed type connection that lines up the hose, wand and tools each time without guessing which part is front or back. The handle also features a soft inlaid grip that help you to hold the handle with less effort while you vacuum. The full wrap gas-pump style grip with finger contours means you exert less effort using the SUMO grip system. The large buttons for tool release and wand extension allow everyone, even someone with less hand strength easily manipulate the Honeywell CV attachment set.
The Honeywell H200D hose-body is a 30 foot in length, 1-3/8" diameter premium crush proof hose stock manufactured by the worlds largest OEM vacuum hose manufacturer for Electrolux. The crush proof hose is lightweight, strong, durable and still exceptionally flexible. Combining strength and flexibility, two qualities often at odd's with each other, is achieved through chemistry and blending of proprietary formulas of plastic and unique manufacturing methods that result in a new electric hose design with qualities that were not possible just a few years ago. The wall end of the hose that plugs into your vacuums wall inlet is available in both Universal or Direct connection type to fit most every inlet used in central vacuums today. . Select your hose end configuration at order using the option selector at the top of this page (just above the add-to-cart button).
A common option for a CVS hose wall-end is the Universal Connect configuration which features an 8 foot power cord attached to the wall end that is connected to an standard electrical outlet and provides power down the hose for the electric power brush. The other powered hose style available is the Direct Connect hose end which has two forward facing prongs (or pins..) that plug directly into the inlet, which is powered. If your wall inlets have high voltage built-in, also called a "Super-Valve" or "Powered Inlet", you should use the Direct Connect hose option. If you have standard inlets you should choose a Universal Connect hose option. More information about hoses and inlets is available in the article Central Vacuum Hoses & Inlets Explained - just check the related articles tab above for a link to the article.
The Honeywell Deluxe above floor attachment set includes the most commonly used tools that can be connected to the end of the hose grip or at the end of the wand for extended reach cleaning. The Deluxe tool set is a compact design the are easy to carry with you so they are ready to use when you need them and easy to store thanks to their smaller size. The compact crevice tool is used to focus the airflow in a flat point to reach tight spots or corners.
The upholstery nozzle will spread the suction out over the bottom of the tool so airflow can be applied to a larger area without sealing off against the object being cleaned. The Upholstery Nozzle also has thread collectors on the bottom that will lift lint and hair from upholstery or carpeted surfaces. The dusting tool uses a soft natural fill bristle that works with the airflow to release dust from the surface and pull it to the collection bin.
A round tool adapter is also included that allows you to use standard 1.25" round connection cleaning tools with the Honeywell attachment set including aftermarket application specific tools like ceiling fan cleaners, dry mop nozzles and mini blind tools. A tool caddie is included that attaches to the cleaning wand and will hold the crevice tool, upholstery nozzle and dusting brush so all of the above floor tools are with you while you vacuum, ready to be used at any time you need. The tool caddie can be unclipped from the wand and attached to the wall in your storage area with the included set of screws and wall anchors.
Quick hard floor cleaning can be accomplished using the powerbrush with the roller brush switched off. Detailed or large area hard floor cleaning is made easier with the 14" wide natural fill hard floor brush. The full width hard floor brush features a notched row of bristle front and back that allows dirt and debris to enter the airflow area under the tool. The wide nozzle is supported with two outboard wheels and the full swivel neck lets you turn the nozzle while cleaning, driving the floor tool around and under objects and furniture on the floor. Perfect for hard floor covers of all types including wood, stone or synthetic.
Vacsoc Included! Honeywell's H200D tool kit includes a very popular upgrade from the standard select model, the zippered padded Vacsoc hose cover. The Zippered Padded Vacsoc is an attractive way to protect your walls, furniture, moldings - and vacuum hose from scratches, dents, nicks and cuts. Vacsoc gives your hose the soft touch. Easy to install, easy to remove, the Zippered Padded Vacsoc is machine washable, tough and durable. Padded for protection, quilted for a secure fit and covered with smooth material that will not hold pet hair or lint. Choose your Vacsoc color from the available options at order.
Vacsoc brand hose covers are the original, and the first to develop central vacuum hose covers with the first release of the "tube soc". Now with the newest Padded and Zippered hose covers, Vacsoc maintains their well deserved reputation for both quality and innovation. The Vacsoc hose cover is constructed of 100% Polyester and machine washable. The synthetic materials will retard staining and will not shrink when washed, ensuring that your Padded Vacsoc will always cover the wear areas of your hose. The zipper is constructed of a sewn in durable nylon cleat system with a metal closure. The Padded vacsocs zipper performs like any other and is covered the entire length on both sides with padded self-closing flaps.
The padded flaps protect both the zipper and your furniture while you use your central vacuum system. Each end of the Vacsoc has two attachment systems for extra secure performance. A string tie is in place to secure the soc's end directly to the hose thread. A padded elastic cuff on the end of the vacsoc with a sewn on velcro closure keeps the VSPZ firmly in place and all the workings covered up. Lay it out, zip it up, tie it down and close it up - That's how easy the Zippered Vacsoc is. A $34.99 - $39.99 value included with Honeywell H200D attachment set.
Two additional cleaning tools are included with the Deluxe model attachment kit to provide a solution to every vacuum cleaning need in the home. The @Hand powered brush for above floor cleaning and the Active Pickup nozzle for all surface floor cleaning compliment the standard and elite cleaning tools with new nozzles that provide increased efficiency and unique function that is not available in the standard Select package. By combining these two popular after sale accessories with the purchase of a new kit you save over 30% off the regular cost.
@HAND Powered Nozzle The first motor powered stair and upholstery cleaning tool that rotates 180° for vertical surface cleaning. Remove deep down dirt and pet hair with the 180° rotation and motorized brush action to easily clean stair risers and upholstered furniture. Using it's own brush motor and geared belt system the spinning brush roller powers dirt to the surface where it can be pulled away by the vacuums suction. The brushing action grooms carpet and upholstered surfaces for the "just vacuumed" look with deep cleaning performance not achievable by normal unpowered upholstery tools. Superior cleaning performance over turbo cleaning nozzles that rely on the vacuums airflow to turn brush roll, the @HAND powered nozzle can power through even plush textile surfaces to lift away pet hair, clingy lint and heavy soils from all areas of the home and auto interior.
Active Pickup Floor Nozzle Some floor types, some floor nozzles or sometimes the combination of the two can leave a lot to be desired when vacuuming. The Active Pickup Nozzle features an oscillating head for improved cleaning on all floor types. As the brush is pushed forward, the front of the base plate lifts slightly up, helping to collect dirt and debris, rather than snow plowing it forward. The oscillating head also ensures optimal air flow, helping to limit the brush from sucking down to the floor. With an auto strip for multi-surface cleaning the Active Pickup Nozzle can be used on floors of all types including tile, wood, laminate, stone and more. The double layered rubber squeegee strip ensures dirt and debris are not left behind. Featuring a swivel neck which allows for easy maneuverability around corners and furniture, as well as the ability to rotate the wand parallel to the floor to reach under beds and furniture. The multifunction Active Pickup Nozzle can be used for the same cleaning applications as a standard floor brush, but it can also do so much more. An exceptional nozzle for those with pets as the less-brush design allows the nozzle to function with gulping action and does not clog with copious amounts of hair.

Maybe try the other possible display connector. It is highly unlikely that EDID reports 1600x900.
Hi Kano yes i have tryed this also with differend DVI-CABLES and ports nothing works realy strange :S

Usually that monitor has VGA + DVI port. I never heart of a DVD cable.
Yes i mean DVI so i tryed 2 differend DVI-D cables
1 DVI-D single link cable wich came with the monitor and
1 DVI-D dual link cable wich i have also here
Also i tryed from DVI to HDMI wich also doesnt work.

Well you can still try the VGA port.
There's nothing wrong with the EDID , samsung says , the panel can handle 1080p but its native 1600x900 they told me , so can anyone tell me howto force this resolution in Xorg.conf ?
That's the standard way:
Code:Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1920x1080" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
Thanks Kano !
So i just need to paste this in xorg.conf and save and reboot ?

Troy Miller AggieYell.com
Last week, Texas A&M finished spring drills and after 15 practices the makeup of the 2009 Aggie team became a little more clear. But with 20 players out with injuries at the time of the Maroon & White game, the complete makeup won't be known until fall practice.
Injuries will have healed, a summer workout program will have been completed and a new class of freshmen in which the A&M coaching staff is relying on in the fall will have arrived. Only then will we know more about who will be on the field on opening day when the Aggies host New Mexico at Kyle Field.
But with the spring behind us, we can at least take a look at who the Aggies have now, how they fared and where exactly the Aggies need the most help when the class of 2013 arrives on campus. Today we take a look at the quarterbacks.

The Raia Mutomboki: Congo's citizens respond to the perpetrators of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide
View photo details
April 8, 2014
by Michael Christopher Brown
(Introduction by Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi):
"It was terrible – the way people were killed and there was no reaction! With 800,000 dead in Rwanda, the entire world paid attention to the massacre there. But here in Congo, six million dead said nothing to the world or to our own Congolese government. I would like to ask the world that they give us a number, that they tell us how many people do they need dead in Congo?" In a town deep in the jungles of South Kivu, General Juriste Moise Kikuni's words tolled through the evening haze.
Kikuni leads one of the four factions of the Raia Mutomboki, a diffuse network of armed citizens that, collectively, make up the largest rebel group in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Their Kiswahili name translates to "Outraged Citizens," and summarizes the impetus for their creation: outrage at the massacres, rapes and countless unspeakable atrocities suffered at the hands of the Interahamwe, the perpetrators of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide who have inhabited the jungles of neighboring eastern DRC since they were chased out of Rwanda nearly 20 years ago. Having no hope of returning home, the Interahamwe has continuously tried to carve out its place in Congo, attacking villages and fighting for control over mineral rich areas and mines. When it became clear that the Congolese state was failing to protect its citizens, groups of affected Congolese villagers decided to take security into their own hands— they banded, armed themselves and formed the Raia Mutomboki, first in 2005 and again in 2011.

A crucial part of your controls, stems come in many different lengths and rises which affect your riding position. These days, most stems work with threadless headsets – meaning they clamp straight on to the fork's steerer tube and cannot be adjusted for height – though some still use the 'quill' method, allowing more adjustability, but with a weight penalty. Think about what you want, and bear in mind that a shorter stem means quicker steering, but a less efficient and aerodynamic position.

Encountered a SS in the supermarket today. The store is on my way home from work, so I popped in to get a few things - and I really mean a few. I tend to use the self-checkout machines if I'm not buying much, so I did.So, I scanned my items, paid my money, waited a second for my change so I could put it in my purse. Fine... but I'd barely picked up my change, when some woman with a full basket (I didn't stop to look properly, I was so shocked) put her basket on the side of my scanner and stood right next to me while I was picking up the last few coins. I hadn't even picked up/bagged my THREE items yet. (2 tubs of goodies from the bakery section and a chocolate bar.)Then she stood there, chatting away to her child (I think. She may have been on the phone), waiting - impatiently, I felt - for me to finish and go.I shoved my purchases into my bag as quickly as I could and moved away, but I was not happy. I mean, how completely rude/SS/self-absorbed do you have to be to do that?! Once outside, I got really annoyed that I didn't use my spine and say anything, or even shoot her a filthy look, but at the time I was just so shocked that she'd actually done it, that I was speechless (and uncomfortable that she was standing so unnecessarily close to me). I mean, I wasn't being slow - my change had literally just dropped down into the tray. The machine had not by a long shot got to the point of saying "Thank you for shopping at..." which is the usual cue that the self-checkout is now free. I know her basket was full, but could she not have held it for, ooh, 90 seconds longer?Grrr.
Then she asked for cash back, in specific denominations, and then told the cashiwer she didnt' get all her $$ back. Cashier politely said yes, SS said no, cashier begins to call for a manager. SS then says "oh, here it is, i found it, i put it somewhere in my purse" No apology or anything else. Just very rude and entitled.
I can get behind rude and impatient, but I don't see SS behaviour in this. If the store has situations where a normal purchase requires someone other than the cashier to complete, then it shouldn't take three minutes to get it done. She then asked how to avoid the problem in the future, and made a reasonable suggestion for how the problem could be dealt with. The huffing and puffing may be rude, but being irritated at a delay isn't SS.Virg
I had a parent yesterday who was very special.I'd been teaching his son in reading about silent e, and how it makes vowels say their name rather than their short sound (e.g. hop vs hope, sit vs site, etc.) which is useful, since there are literally hundreds of such words in English, including a lot of very common ones. I had a big list and the son would read each word and I'd tick it off. Easy-peasy, right? Well, apparently not. The father came to see me after class yesterday and demanded an apology (!) for teaching his son a dirty word. I was gobsmacked--I don't swear even at home, out of habit from working with kids so much. The word was apparently on the silent e list. I had gone through it carefully and removed rude or unpleasant words, so this surprised me. Then he showed me the word. This adult man refused to say it. He just pointed at it as though that should explain everything.The dirty word? "nude"In his household, apparently, nudity is not discussed and does not happen. I'm not sure how this works, but he was adamant that that's how they do it. I tried as diplomatically as I could to point out that the son is likely to see the word in books, at school, and on television, so if anything, it's better for him to recogninse it so he knows what to avoid. I didn't want to go down the terrible path of criticising his parenting decisions, especially when they're hilariously stupid, and I'm all about teaching kids about dangers and bad stuff so they can avoid it rather than just pretending it doesn't exist so they don't know how to cope when something does go wrong, but this guy wasn't having any of it. In the end, all I could do was assure him that I wouldn't have his son read the word again (he wasn't going to anyway, since it was already ticked off, and it's uncommon enough to not be on any other worksheets).I didn't apologise since I so obviously did nothing wrong, but moved the discussion so that this guy didn't notice.I can't help but wonder how they bathe. But there's a star next to the kid's name, now. If there's another situation like this (e.g. if the parent gets upset because we use the word "toilet" in class when asking to use the toilet), then the son will be let go. Unfortunate, yes, and not fair on the boy. But parents like these pretty much always get worse, and in the end become a huge disability for their children by demanding ridiculous and often impossible things of their teacher. It's not fair on all the other children to not learn anything just because one boy's father doesn't want him to learn.Ugh. I tell you, 90% of the stress from work is because of idiots like these. Thankfully, most parents are lovely. But the few who aren't are very special indeed.

It's Pie-rate. The other one that might be a bit vague is PI-rate. Thanks for all the happy comments folks!
Maybe it's just me, but this shirt seems extremely suggestive... Just sayin', but the title doesn't help.

Yes, there is a similar shirt that exists. Good job though. Clever Ideas with the peg leg and the eye-patch.

Re: Arrrr!
How can a simple clean design be similar to those other painfully ugly shirts. I think woot just doesn't want to field the calls from crybabys upset about someone making a better shirt than theirs.

I tend to think of pop culture as current things. Peter Pan and Neverland are over a century old, so I wouldn't call it pop culture. Classic children's literature, maybe.
woody25 wrote:Yes, there is a similar shirt that exists. Good job though. Clever Ideas with the peg leg and the eye-patch.
I was referring to THIS design in the current derby by flatlimp (which I voted for ) Are you saying that this concept has been printed on a shirt before?

Thank you pixelpants. Very nice to hear. I'm really hoping your shirt prints this week. Best of luck to you.
lutherann wrote:What's with all the whining and complaining this week? "Boo hoo, nobody votes for my designs so I'm going to attack everyone else's designs!"
Hahaha I really don't think anyone has said or implied that at all. People are just saying that his idea has been done to death. I, for one, think it's completely on theme and they have every right to cash in on this style.

Yes, though I did it in Photoshop, not Illustrator. Whether this is desirable was unclear in the instructions.
Aww. I even voted for it on threadless, so long term sad from me. @aerc712 Want to hear some fun rules lawyering? Woot has a rule that something that has been submitted previously has to be significantly reworked (no direct resubs). But since this hadn't been submitted at woot specifically, he didn't need to change anything.

After WW I Veterans returning to their countries remembered the wild poppies which lined the devastated battlegrounds of France and Flanders Field. It was like a gift from God to plant these beautiful flowers in memory of the great sacrifice our fallen heroes made for their country. Soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of their dead comrades' sacrifice. The POPPY was adopted as the Memorial Flower at the first convention of the American Legion Auxiliary in 1921. As of now approximately 25 million Americans wear poppies in tribute to our fallen heroes and contribute nearly two million dollars for the rehabilitation and caring for disabled veterans.

Midwest Living Review
If pastry chef Kurstin Harris' caramel-cream cheese French toast won't get you out of bed, her homemade strawberry jam and buttery biscuits will. A rallying cry of "Wakey, wakey eggs n' bakey!" painted on The Chef's window lets you know what goodness awaits inside the cheery breakfast and lunch spot in downtown Manhattan. Customers seated at the chrome horseshoe counter and teal blue tables tuck into piles of fluffy pancakes and fresh berry-loaded fruit bowls sided with homemade granola and yogurt. The menu features 18 morning specials, including smoked salmon Benedict and a spicy bulging breakfast burrito ($7$12). We love the a la carte approach to breakfast that mixes mini versions of the delish breakfast platters ($2 for a small plate). A half order of homemade sausage gravy atop a biscuit is plenty filling at $2.75. Choose from 11 sandwiches and a kids' menu, too. The Chef has long been a Manhattan hangout, opening in 1943 and closing in 1986. In 2008, restaurateurs Kurstin and her husband, Kevin, bought the space and learned its culinary history. They acquired the diner's original neon sign from the Riley County Historical Society, hung historic photos of Manhattan on the yolk-yellow walls and opened The Chef's doors again. So now locals have good reason again to rise early.

Organized Crime Task Force
The Attorney General's Statewide Organized Crime Task Force ("OCTF") was established by the Legislature in 1970 through the enactment of Section 70-a of the New York State Executive Law. OCTF is responsible for investigating and prosecuting multi-county, multi-state, and multi-national organized criminal activities occurring within New York State. OCTF specializes in identifying emerging and existing organized crime enterprises and, through a broad array of civil and criminal enforcement techniques, seeks to undermine their structure, influence and presence within the State.
OCTF has offices throughout the State of New York, and is headquartered in White Plains. Most of its cases involve long-term investigations, conducted in partnership with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, into crimes like narcotics trafficking, loan sharking, gambling, racketeering and money laundering.

This confirms again why NVidia is the global leader in high performance graphics hardware.
Phoronix: NVIDIA Shows Linux Compatible Ray-Tracing Engine
Yesterday there was the major announcement of the OpenGL 3.2 release, but the news coming out of today from New Orleans during SIGGRAPH is OptiX, which comes from the folks at NVIDIA. OptiX is a ray-tracing engine developed by NVIDIA to run on Quadro FX graphics cards and uses their CUDA architecture...
This confirms again why NVidia is the global leader in high performance graphics hardware.
Actually AMD released some raytracing & voxel demo stuff about a year ago.
There's nothing new here - it's simply a raytracing engine, but developed by nvidia. Intel have also done quite a bit of research of their own, and have their own raytracing engine as well. In this case, it would appear that nvidia are actually trying to catch up.
Cute demo. nVidia should try making something practical that runs on open standards like OpenCL that people (read: Apple) actually use.
They are in the process of that

2009 Mopars At The Strip - Echoes through the Valley
Written by on April 8, 2009 The 2009 Mopars at the Strip event showed growth through these economic harships.Anytime you mention the Mopars at the Strip event in Las Vegas to a Mopar enthusiast, the consensus is that it's an event we all want to go to. Those fortunate enough to make it out each year appreciate the collection of rare show cars, brutal racers, and fantastic scenery.
For 2009 we came in a bit skeptical because we didn't know what to expect. It's no longer a word-of-mouth possibility that the nation is experiencing economic hardships, it's a fact. With this in mind, we thought it would impact the event and it didn't. We were informed that there were more cars pre-registered this year than all who registered last year. That's a big deal!
One of the first things we noticed was the onslaught of new Challengers everywhere we looked. This was a great sight to see simply because nearly all of them were modified. It's great that the aftermarket has had a positive impact with these sick cars. Check out the photos from the weekend to get you drooling and entice you to come out next year.

Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Tori Miki, reviews, Humbug | 10 Mar 2009 2:13 PM |
• Review: In a blog post simply titled "Rave Review," Mark Evanier says of Humbug, "The material is excellent. It's Kurtzman, Elder, Davis, Al Jaffee, Arnold Roth and a few others working at the peak of their awesome powers. The package is excellent. It's well-designed and well-printed, and I can't think of a way in which it could have been improved. We've seen a lot of fancy comic book reprint projects lately but this may be my favorite. Buy it. Just buy it."
• Review: Comics Worth Reading checks out Anywhere but Here by Tori Miki, concluding "Did I like it? Yes, due to how different it was from every other manga I've seen, and how I appreciated the way one's mind is engaged."

Koehler leads Marlins into opener vs. Cubs
Miami seeks to build momentum at home against Chicago's Hammel
With a Sunday comeback, the Marlins stayed above the .500 mark. While they try to build on that, their next 11 games all come against teams currently under that mark.
Miami continues its homestand by starting a series with the Cubs on Monday night. The Marlins will play four games each against the Mets and the Phillies after Chicago leaves town, hoping to stay close to Atlanta and Washington during the latter half of June.
Tom Koehler will take the ball for the home side as the Marlins host the Cubs for the first time this season. In his most recent start, Koehler was cruising along through five innings, but he lost command of the strike zone in the sixth inning at Texas.
In 5 1/3 innings, the Miami right-hander gave up five runs on five hits. He struck out seven but walked three and hit a batter. Entering the sixth inning he had a three-run lead, which quickly evaporated. The Marlins rallied to a win, and Koehler was not involved in the decision.
"I was throwing the ball really well early and kind of hit a little bit of a speed bump," Koehler said. "It was unfortunate with the way that I was throwing early on. But I've got to do a better job when innings start to snowball like that of taking a deep breath and get back to executing quality pitches like I was early on."
Koehler has been considerably better at home than on the road. His ERA at Marlins Park is 2.70, compared with 4.70 away.
Cubs starter Jason Hammel has a road ERA that is exactly one run higher than the one he has at Wrigley Field. In eight road starts, Hammel is 3-4 with a 3.20 ERA, opposed to being 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA in five starts at home.
Hammel's latest road nod came Wednesday in Pittsburgh, where he allowed a season-high 11 hits and was charged with four earned runs in five innings. Despite the Pirates' success against Hammel, his season WHIP of 0.984 still ranks seventh in the Majors.
Cubs: All or nothing for Olt thus far
The Cubs know what they have in Mike Olt.
The classic all-or-nothing hitter, Olt has counted 10 of his 22 hits as home runs. Entering Sunday's contest with the Phillies, the third baseman was on pace for 35 home runs and a .152 batting average.
"We know we have a guy that when he barrels the ball, can obviously drive it," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "But he is still a young man that's working on who he is."
The 25-year-old's power potential continues to justify his spot in the lineup. He didn't make the start at third base on Sunday, but Renteria will continue to plug his slugger into the order whenever he sees an advantageous situation.
"We're still trying to find a way to give him an opportunity to match up against certain guys to see if we can continue to elevate that confidence," Renteria said.
Olt has 60 strikeouts in 145 at-bats this season. While that rate leaves a lot to be desired, Renteria said he was not worried about Olt's strikeouts.
"I'm more concerned that his approaches in good hitter's counts are good," Renteria said. "Because we know when he swings the bat, there's a chance for something good to happen."
Marlins: Ozuna providing power
Giancarlo Stanton gets most of the attention with his tape-measured home runs. But he is not the only Miami outfielder delivering the long ball.
Marcell Ozuna, the 23-year-old center fielder, has been providing his share of production. While Stanton paces the team with 18 homers and 54 RBIs, Ozuna has 12 homers with 42 RBIs.
Ozuna has been especially good at home, where he has belted nine homers and driven in 33 runs -- compared with three homers and nine RBIs on the road.
Worth noting
• Marlins third baseman Casey McGehee extended his hitting streak to 10 games Sunday, a season high. • Cubs reliever Hector Rondon has not surrendered a homer in his past 45 1/3 innings dating to Aug. 3 of last season, the sixth-longest current stretch in the Majors.

crystal.mckenzie says: I've never been tempted by online bookmarking like del.icio.us .... until Diigo. Diigo saves everything you HIGHLIGHT on pages, and lets you TAG the pages you bookmark, and also lets you write STICKY-NOTES about either the whole page, or individual highlights. It's so wholly amazing, I was almost beside myself! And no, I'm not associated with them or anything, I'm just a user who fell in love.

bzpilman says: Wow, I quickly checked Diigo's feature set and sandbox, and it looks great for researching and a powerful web2.0 tool. Does it make it easy for you to associate topics ?

mcubed says: FYI, Cayra is Windows-only. If you don't use Windows, don't waste your time. There are already some good mind-mapping apps available on *nix-type systems. Posted 7 years ago |

crystal.mckenzie says: So Cayra opened my mind to Mind Mapping (haha), and I ended up realizing that (much like my to do list) my mind maps were things I really wanted to access from any computer, not just from at home. Naturally, Web 2.0 has a zillion and a half options for mind mapping! And sites upon sites of reviews of them too.

Way to tame the 5 Stagioni.And 50 seconds at 925....not much room for error I'd imagine the pies cooked at 50 seconds are at least slightly more tender than a 1:00 to 1:10 pie?
Great looking pies Craig! Have a question. Is you floor temperature 925 degrees? I seem to always burn the bottoms at anything over 825 degrees. Could it be that I have too much flour underneath when I slide the pie in the oven. I always try to minimize that. Any other thing that you could think of why my pies burn at 925 and yours don't?

There is a pretty big variance in what is called firebrick, but I have cooked on a 1000F firebrick hearth many times without burring.
You are insane Craig. Quit tinkering and open up a pizzeria already!
X 1000 Out of curiosity, Craig, how many pies(total) did you cook in this last bake?
