1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a sensor system for monitoring conditions in a data center.
2. Related Art
A data center may be defined as a location, e.g., a room, that houses numerous printed circuit (PC) board electronic systems arranged in a number of racks. A standard rack may be defined as an Electronics Industry Association (EIA) enclosure, 78 in. (2 meters) high, 24 in. (0.61 meter) wide and 30 in. (0.76 meter) deep. Standard racks may be configured to house a number of PC boards, e.g., about forty (40) PC server systems, with some existing configurations of racks being designed to accommodate up to 280 blade systems. The PC boards typically include a number of components, e.g. processors, micro-controllers, high speed video cards, memories, and the like, that dissipate relatively significant amounts of heat during the operating of the respective components. For example, a typical PC board comprising multiple microprocessors may dissipate approximately 250 W of power. Thus, a rack containing forty (40) PC boards of this type may dissipate approximately 10 KW of power.
The power required to remove the heat dissipated by the components in the racks is generally equal to about 10 percent of the power needed to operate the components. However, the power required to remove the heat dissipated by a plurality of racks in a data center is generally equal to about 50 percent of the power needed to operate the components in the racks. The disparity in the amount of power required to dissipate the various heat loads between racks and data centers stems from, for example, the additional thermodynamic processing needed in the data center to cool the air.
In one respect, racks are typically cooled with fans that operate to move cooling fluid, e.g., air, across the heat dissipating components; whereas, data centers often implement reverse power cycles to cool heated return air. The additional work required to achieve the temperature reduction, in addition to the work associated with moving the cooling fluid in the data center and the condenser, often add up to the 50 percent power requirement. As such, the cooling of data centers presents problems in addition to those faced with the cooling of racks.
Conventional data centers are typically cooled by operation of one or more air conditioning units. The compressors of the air conditioning units typically require a minimum of about thirty (30) percent of the required cooling capacity to sufficiently cool the data centers. The other components, e.g., condensers, air movers (fans), etc., typically require an additional twenty (20) percent of the required cooling capacity. As an example, a high density data center with 100 racks, each rack having a maximum power dissipation of 10 KW, generally requires 1 MW of cooling capacity.
Air conditioning units with a capacity of 1 MW of heat removal generally require a minimum of 30 KW input compressor power in addition to the power needed to drive the air moving devices, e.g., fans, blowers, etc. Conventional data center air conditioning units do not vary their cooling fluid output based on the distributed needs of the data center. Instead, these air conditioning units generally operate at or near a maximum compressor power even when the heat load is reduced inside the data center.
The substantially continuous operation of the air conditioning units is generally designed to operate according to a worst-case scenario. That is, cooling fluid is supplied to the components at around 100 percent of the estimated cooling requirement. In this respect, conventional cooling systems often attempt to cool components that may not need to be cooled. Consequently, conventional cooling systems often incur greater amounts of operating expenses than may be necessary to sufficiently cool the heat generating components contained in the racks of data to the components at around 100 percent of the estimated cooling requirement. In this respect, conventional cooling systems often attempt to cool components that may not need to be cooled. Consequently, conventional cooling systems often incur greater amounts of operating expenses than may be necessary to sufficiently cool the heat generating components contained in the racks of data centers.
Consequently, the inventors have developed systems for collecting temperature data from data centers so that the computing equipment can be cooled based on actual cooling requirements. Such systems can include large numbers of temperature sensors to provide detailed temperature information from many different locations within the data center, allowing a cooling system to provide cooling only where it is needed, and only to the extent actually needed by the electronic systems.
Unfortunately, the traditional approach to sensing large numbers of temperatures distributed throughout a large volume is costly and cumbersome. Typically thermistor or thermocouple sensors are used. These sensors require that a continuous wire be installed from the sensor location to a central instrument where temperature readings are made. Each sensor must be connected to the instrument with its own wire. The wire involved must meet special manufacturing and installation characteristics to provide an accurate result. This results in a very costly and cumbersome installation with large bundles of expensive wire spread throughout the measurement environment. The cost of these methods can be quite high.
A typical temperature data acquisition system could include a central datalogger which contains a switch matrix and analog-to-digital converter, with cold-junction compensation for thermocouple input. Such systems are available that are capable of measuring 60 thermocouple temperature sensors, though this is not a limit. Some systems expand to accommodate a thousand sensors. Unfortunately, this sort of system requires installation of a continuous thermocouple wire from each measurement point to the instrument. Thermocouple wire is a specialized material that must be installed to special requirements for accurate results. Each conductor is a different material, and all junctions must maintain material integrity from sensor to instrument. This requires special connectors and installation procedures.
Industrial versions of this type of equipment are also available, and present similar disadvantages. One such concept is the use of separate "transmitters" at each measurement point that convert from a thermocouple to a network protocol at each measurement point. This is a very costly approach, and requires that power be supplied at each measurement point. Additionally, any installation using traditional techniques would require custom mounting of sensors in the field. This can lead to a visually unappealing installation. Field installation also often results in wire routing that leaves sensor wire vulnerable to damage during operation of the data center.
Accordingly, it has been recognized that it would be advantageous to develop a distributed network of sensors that is simple to install on new or existing equipment rack systems, and that provides a low cost sensor assembly for deploying multiple sensors over a widely distributed area.
The invention advantageously provides a modular sensor assembly for sensing conditions at a computer rack. The sensor assembly includes an elongate flexible body, configured to attach to a computer rack, with a plurality of addressable sensors, disposed along the body and interconnected to a common connector wire. A connector wire lead is provided to interconnect the connector wire to a central system configured to receive and interpret data from the plurality of sensors relating to conditions associated with the computer rack.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the detailed description which follows, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which together illustrate, by way of example, features of the invention.
Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein, and additional applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.

Disposed atop the base layer 22 are multiple flat conductors 24. The conductors can be conductive tapewire, such as copper foil tape with an adhesive backing. Conductive foil or flex circuit tape can be used, such as copper tape foil CK1017 from Cir-Kit Concepts Inc. While two flat conductors are shown in the depicted embodiment, the sensor assembly is not limited to two, for reasons that are discussed below. Of the two flat conductors shown, one conductor 24 a represents a data line and the other conductor 24 b represents a ground line.
A sensor device 14 is attached (e.g. soldered) to the flat conductors 24 via its leads 26. There are a variety of sensor types and sensor products that can be used. One type of temperature sensor that the inventors have employed is a Dallas Semiconductor/Maxim integrated circuits DS18S20-PAR sensor. The sensor assembly can also be used to deploy other digital transducers or sensors with similar connectivity requirements but differing functionalities, such as transducers and sensors for detecting fluid pressure, fluid velocity, humidity, occupancy, light, smoke, door condition, etc. Multiple or redundant conductor assemblies can be developed to address connectivity requirements of a wide variety of transducers and provide customization (or upgrades). The sensor assembly can also be used beyond the rack assembly, for other non-rack related sensors like pressure transducers inside a plenum or temperature sensors for vents.
Each sensor 14 includes at least two connection leads 26. One lead 26 a serves as a data connection lead while the other lead 26 b is a ground connection lead. The data connection lead connects the sensor to a computer controller 110, shown in
Power for the sensor 14 is parasitically drawn from the data line 24 a. Specifically, the sensor includes an internal capacitor, which draws power and charges during data line inactivity. Alternatively, a sensor without an internal capacitor could be used. Such a sensor could include three leads, one of which would be connected to a power supply line (not shown) that would be separate from the data and ground lines. Thus, such a system would require a third conductor line, in addition to the data line 24 a and ground line 24 b shown in the figures.
In the embodiment shown, the sensor 14 is configured to measure ambient temperature a small distance (e.g. 15 mm) from the sensor assembly, and convert the temperature reading into a digital signal. One advantage of implementing this type of sensor is that a central instrument is not needed. Each sensor is capable of independently converting physical temperature data to transmittable digital data. This eliminates the need to carry sensitive analog signals from point to point. The digital data provided by the sensor can be protected by CRC algorithms that prevent distortion of the data.
The connector wire 16 is a multiple conductor wire. In the depicted embodiment, the connector wire includes two conductors 28 a, 28 b, the ends of which are connected (e.g. soldered) to the ends of the flat conductors 24 to provide connectivity to the sensing network. One conductor 28 a is the data line, and the other conductor 28 b is the ground line. It will be apparent that where the sensor assembly includes more than two flat conductors, the connector wire will also include more than two corresponding conductors.
It will be apparent that there must be some way to identify and distinguish the physical location of each sensor in the system. This can be done in several ways. In one configuration, shown in
However, the system is not limited to this configuration. As an alternative, the identification of each sensor 14 can be prescribed with a much smaller address, such as that used by I2C devices. However, this configuration requires at least four conductors on the sensor assembly, and also requires wiring (e.g. printed circuits) with passive components at each sensor for retaining address settings. Alternatively, a user-defined identification code for each sensor (rather than a factory-assigned code) can be prescribed and recorded in the memory device 30, the memory device being factory-set with the user-defined identification codes. As still another alternative, the central computer (110 in
The sensor assembly 10 can include a number of other features for ruggedness, durability, and convenience. In the embodiment shown in
A top layer 38 of plastic or other material is provided over the top of the sensor assembly to cover and protect it. This top layer can be of the same material and same basic size as the base layer 22 described above. An adhesive or adhesive layer, such as thin double-sided adhesive tape (not shown), can be applied to the top of the flat conductors 24 to adhere the top layer to the base layer and flat conductors between the sections of cushioning material 36.
The sensor assembly 10 can be disposed within a molding or other elongate protective structure, such as a channel 40 as depicted in
Other configurations and materials can also be used for the sensor assembly. For example, as shown in
Depicted in
Depicted in
The computer rack 60 houses a plurality of components 70, e.g., processors, micro-controllers, high speed video cards, memories, semi-conductor devices, and the like. The components may be elements of a plurality of subsystems (not shown), e.g., computers, servers, etc. In the performance of their electronic functions, the components, and therefore the subsystems, generally dissipate relatively large amounts of heat. Because computer rack systems have been generally known to include upwards of forty (40) or more subsystems, they may need substantially large amounts of cooling resources to maintain the subsystems and the components generally within a predetermined operating temperature range. Additionally, the temperature of cooling air supplied by a data center cooling system is likely to vary based on distance between the cooling equipment and the computer rack. Accordingly, temperature readings associated with the operation of the computer rack are gathered at multiple points in the vertical and horizontal directions.
The sensor assemblies 10 can be configured to fit onto installation features built into the rack 60. For example, the front sensor assembly 10 a, shown in
As shown in
It is also notable that the rear sensor assembly 10 b includes an overhead sensor 14 a that is disposed on a portion of the sensor assembly extending above the rack 60. This configuration can be accommodated in various ways. For example, where the sensor assembly is disposed inside the rear doors 66, the overhead portion of the sensor assembly can be a discontinuous portion that is connected to the remainder of the assembly via a connector wire. This wire can extend unobtrusively between the adjacent door and the body of the rack. The overhead portion of the sensor assembly can be attached to additional support structure, such as an upright rod, that is associated with the rack. Alternatively, the overhead portion of the sensor assembly can include a support member like the support member 58 shown in
The sensor assemblies 10 are designed to facilitate easy mounting on an equipment rack, either at the factory before shipment to the customer, or at the customer site for installation as an option. This is accomplished by building mounting features into the rack that will accommodate the sensor assembly. These features can be in the form of a channel or series of holes in the surface of the rack (designed to receive snap rivets or other connectors), and are designed to fit mounting provisions on the rack. When a sensor assembly is not installed at a given location that is configured to receive one, a compatible blank trimming strip can be installed at that location to cover the exposed mounting locations. In this way a cosmetically appealing appearance can be maintained whether or not the sensor assembly is installed.
Mounting point features designed into equipment racks make installation of the sensor assembly a simple process. The sensor assemblies may also be retrofitted onto racks without mounting features by using adhesive to connect the sensor body 12 to the rack, such as by using double-sided adhesive tape.
The sensor assembly solves some of the manufacturing and installation problems for networked environmental sensors. It provides a system for deploying a widely distributed sensor network with simple parallel wiring. The labor-intensive and costly installation process of traditional temperature measurement is replaced by an unobtrusive, easily installed assembly. Separate specialized electrical connections are replaced by a single parallel circuit of standard telecommunications-grade wiring. Advantageously, the sensor assembly provides broad sensor coverage in an easily installed package. The sensor assembly can be produced at a low cost, and is easily manufactured using existing assembly techniques.
A cost effective network of digital sensors has many advantages over traditional methods. Systems sometimes referred to as "smart cooling" systems have been developed to provide a networked environmental monitor comprising a plurality of temperature sensors, located at various locations throughout a data center, to dynamically collect temperature data at various locations within the data center. By dynamically collecting temperature data at various locations within the data center, the cooling resources of the data center can be allocated based on the actual cooling requirements of the data center. As a result, substantial savings in operational costs related to the operation of the data center cooling resources is possible.
The sensor assembly shown herein is compatible with "smart cooling" systems and their associated temperature data collection system. The various elements and aspects of a networked environmental monitoring system for collecting and using temperature data from a large number of sensors in a data center are depicted in
The method of collecting temperature data using the system depicted in
The computer system 110 may be any of a variety of different types, such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, an industrial personal computer, an embedded computer, etc. The computer system includes a processor and various other components such as a user interface (e.g. keyboard, mouse, voice recognition system, etc.), and an output device (e.g. a computer monitor, a television screen, a printer, etc.), depending upon the desired functions of the computer system. A communications port can also be coupled to the processor to enable the computer system to communicate with an external device or system, such as a printer, another computer, or a network.
The computer system 110 may also be utilized in conjunction with a distributed computing environment where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. Examples of such distributed computing environments include local area networks of an office, enterprise-wide computer networks, and the Internet. Additionally, the networks could communicate via wireless means or any of a variety of communication means.
Referring back to
Each sensor assembly 10 includes a connector wire 16 with a mechanical connector 18 at its end. Associated with each rack 60 is a connector board 80, like the connector board 140 shown in
The input ports 82 can be RJ-11 phone line type ports or any of a variety of types of ports. As an operative example, the first port 82 a can be configured to connect the connector board 80 to the temperature collection module 110 or directly to the central computer system 120, while the second data port 82 b can be configured to connect to the sensor assembly 10, to collect temperature data from the plurality of sensors 14. Additionally, the first data port 82 a can be configured to connect the connector board to another connector board associated with another rack, thereby enabling multiple connector boards to be connected to a central computer system in a daisy chain fashion, like that shown in
A third input port 82 c can also be provided to connect to a second sensor assembly (not shown) that can be associated with the rack. This sort of configuration is suggested by
In the connection scheme shown in
Referring back to
The temperature collection logic periodically queries the data table which contains the temperature readings of each plurality of the sensors. In order to access individual sensors it is necessary to know the address identifier of each of the individual sensors along with the physical location. This issue is complicated by the fact that the individual sensors are factory programmed with unique address information that is not re-programmable. However, this problem is solved by the memory device associated with each sensor assembly. The memory device stores the identifier of each sensor on the sensor assembly. The memory devices are programmed during the assembly of the sensor assembly. Data is stored in the memory device that indicates a unique identifying number for the sensor assembly itself. Also stored in the memory are the unique 1-wire addresses of each sensor device installed on the sensor assembly. These addresses are stored in a table in the same order as the physical order of the devices on the sensor assembly. It would also be possible to associate the sensor assembly with a particular rack if it was installed on this rack at the factory. Alternatively the rack information could be programmed in the field using a simple tool designed for this purpose. Using this information, it is possible for a temperature collection module to automatically configure its data collection logic when a sensor assembly is added to its 1-wire network.
Additionally, in another alternative embodiment, the temperature collection module can be implemented as a "row manager" device. Accordingly, the module can be capable of communication with an Ethernet network connection while communicating with the plurality of sensors.
In accordance with one method of collecting temperature data, a temperature data acquisition process can begin with the periodic querying of each of the sensors in the data center, providing a "start conversion" command whereby the process of taking temperature readings from the individual sensors is initiated. This process takes approximately � to one second per sensor when using the parasitically powered sensor devices described above. If faster results are desired, sensors are available with a separate power supply pin for a much faster response. This would be one configuration in which three conductors in the sensor assembly and in the connecting wire would be needed.
Once the temperature is measured from each sensor, temperature collection logic stores the temperature readings in a data table and generates a temperature profile of the data center based on the temperature readings. Separate temperature tables can be generated based on the varying locations of sensors. For example, based on the location of the sensors temperature profiles can be generated for the front of the rack, the back of the rack, etc.
In varying embodiments, the data center could employ more than one temperature collection module. In this case, the data table in each module will only contain part of the temperature profile of the data center. Accordingly, the central computer can assemble partial profiles of the data center. These partial profiles can subsequently be combined to form a global temperature profile of the data center.
The method of obtaining temperature data from an installation of sensors is generally as follows. A first step includes periodically querying of each of the sensors in the data center. A second step includes providing an initiation command. A third step includes reading the measured temperature of each of the sensors. A final step involves generating a temperature profile of the data center based on the temperature readings. The temperature profile can include a variety of profiles based on the locations of the sensors, and can be presented in a 3-dimensional matrix view format. The above-described method may be implemented, for example, by operating a computer system to execute a sequence of machine-readable instructions. The instructions may reside in various types of computer readable media.
Although the application and use of the sensor assembly is disclosed in the context of a data center, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the functionality of the varying embodiments of the sensor assembly can be utilized in a variety of different facilities. Specifically, this type of sensor assembly is by no means limited to data center applications, and is not limited to temperature sensing.
It is to be understood that the above-referenced arrangements are illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous modifications can be made without departing from the principles and concepts of the invention as set forth in the claims.

Should I buy the 360 HD-DVD drive?
It's $99 at overstockdealz.com
Can I connect it to my PC via USB?
I was planning on getting an A3 once it dropped to $150, but if this is honestly just about as good then I think I'll bite on it.
I get all my movies off of netflix so any sort of extra movie deal they might include with the A3 really isn't an incentive for me.
My current audio setup isn't TrueHD compatible, so I doubt I'll benefit over anything past DD, and from what I gather that's the only drawback to the 360 addon.
Re: Should I buy the 360 HD-DVD drive?
Yes it connects nicely to a PC and is even automatically recognized in Vista but in XP you need to use drivers. I believe you do need to run AnyDVD HD if you want 1080p output because the HD-DVD drive doesn't have a HDCP chip (IIRC) but I don't know for sure if thats the truth.
Re: Should I buy the 360 HD-DVD drive?
yeah I forgot all about HDCP. If the movie studios start using it then it means I'd be screwed.
Re: Should I buy the 360 HD-DVD drive?
thats incorrect. It doesn't need one ;)
to explain this its no different then a internal drive the data is still digital and secure its up to your GPU to support it
Re: Should I buy the 360 HD-DVD drive?
The 360 HD DVD drive connects to your PC via USB. HDCP has nothing to do with the drive. Drivers for the device are available on Windows Update for XP, and are automatically installed for Vista.
You also need playback software. This is where HDCP comes in. Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra ($99) is currently the most popular and best playback software. The catch is that if both your video card and monitor do not support HDCP then you cannot use DVI output. If you have a video card and monitor that both support HDCP (such as any card from the GeForce 8 series or select GeForce 7 cards and many flatpanels made in the past year), then you can use DVI output. If you do NOT have HDCP on your videocard and monitor, you must use the VGA or Component analog outputs for display - it will still be great quality, just not transmitted digitally. Most monitors have both DVI/VGA inputs so if you don't have HDCP in your setup you'd have to hook up both outputs from your videocard and switch over to VGA when watching HD DVD.
A dual core CPU is also needed to handle the processing.

I didn't have computers at that job. what I'm saying's that they either hacked me (highly doubt), or there's a somewhat easy way to find my internet activity with an i.p. tracker or something , or something I didn't think of. Other than that, then they/one of them must have religiously read forums trying to find me out of context. I'm not even hiding anything and don't have a secret second life on the internet and am not so interesting compared to the internet, so I find it hard to believe they read that much just to try and get under my skin.

|Connecting the dots: a history of Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George
|Rubino, Rebecca H.
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|This thesis is a history of Stephen Sondheim's musical Sunday in the Park with George (1984), which was inspired by Georges Seurat's masterpiece: Un dimanche à la Grande Jatte (1886). By first examining the lives and careers of Seurat and Sondheim, a foundation is established to take a deeper look into the creation of this musical. It becomes clear how the lives of these two men intertwined to form a groundbreaking show. From its moment of conception to its closing night on Broadway, the history of the musical theatre piece is chronicled in detail. Through the recollections of the show's creators, stars, and critics, the ups and downs of this journey are revealed. Four other productions of this show are explored, all of which opened after the completion of the original Broadway run. These versions were put on at different times in various locations and take on unconventional styles, but each one proves that Sunday in the Park with George remains a Sondheim classic that has the power to change lives as it did history.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia (375ML half-bottle) 2002
Bordeaux Red Blends from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
We are very proud of the Ornellaia 2002 because we think we produced a very good wine thanks to the severe selection that we practiced. We believe that this wine shows the very high quality of the territory, that gives a good response also in cold vintages. Ornellaia 2002 is a very elegant and fresh wine, very near to its cousins from Bordeaux.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The estate's 2002s show why Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is one of Italy's premier properties. Those obsessed with points will chase the higher rated 2003s and 2004s, but consumers who buy wines to drink them would do well to consider these 2002s especially given that pricing should be favorable. The 2002s are by no means the equal of the estate's top wines but they will offer useful drinking while the more important vintages reach maturity. The 2002 Ornellaia (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) is an astoundingly good wine considering the vintage. A vibrant dark ruby/violet, it offers suggestions of herbs, tobacco, earthiness and dark red fruit with excellent length and notable structure. Although it doesn't have the concentration or length of the best vintages, it displays terrific overall balance and is undoubtedly a huge overachiever for which General Manager/Agronomist Leonardo Raspini and his entire team deserve much credit. 92/Anticipated maturity: 2008-2017. "
Wine Spectator - "Aromas of currants, plums and hints of fresh herbs, rosemary in particular. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a subtle, refined finish. Very nice indeed for the vintage. Best after 2006. 9,640 cases made."
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Winery
In 1981, Marchese Lodovico Antinori breathed new life into Tenuta dell' Ornellaia, an estate whose potential had been ignored for decades. With the help of Andre Tchelistcheff, the famous agronomist, Antinori planted the first French vines in Bolgheri, which lies in the heart of Tuscany's coastal region, Maremma. The estate yields some of the finest Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in Tuscany. In 2002, Marchesi de' Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi became owners of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, which is now owned exclusively by Marchesi de' Frescobaldi. View all Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Wines
About TuscanyView a map of Tuscany wineries (TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Not everyone's homes. Here in Europe there's a GMO ban. Just think of how much less roundup is used when roundup ready crops aren't planted.
Probably about half as much. Even without the GMO RoundUp Ready crops you could clear a field with the stuff and then plant corn in behind that in 7 days. Saves on tilling costs and also better for the environment as you're not disturbing soil. With the GMO stuff you might get another spray 4-5 weeks into the crop of RoundUp to kill new weeds but anything beyond that the corn itself will crowd out the weeds.

"Jayalalithaa not interested in early commissioning of Kudankulam project"
"If the Jayalalithaa-led government dares to alter the Anna Centenary Library into a hospital, I'll immolate myself to prevent the attempt," Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president M. Karunanidhi warned on Thursday.
Addressing an election meeting at Sankarankoil near here in the night, Mr. Karunanidhi said that the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government, while refusing to introduce 'Samacheer Kalvi' in schools, shifted the Classical Tamil Library to some other place. The introduction of 'Samacheer Kalvi' in schools across the State could be accomplished only after the Supreme Court intervened.
Legal intervention
When it initiated steps to transform the Anna Centenary Library, one of the best in Asia, into a hospital, legal intervention was sought by the DMK to retain it in its present shape.
"This legal battle may extend up to even the Supreme Court. If the Jayalalithaa government dares to take steps to convert it into a hospital even after a verdict from the higher judiciary, Karunanidhi will immolate himself to stall the move and none can prevent me from doing it," he warned.
The former Chief Minister said the AIADMK government had started foisting cases on DMK leaders and cadres and was making unsuccessful attempts to dampen their spirit.
On power situation, he said Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was not interested in the early commissioning of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) even though the first unit of the project was ready.
"She, who came to power by putting the blame on the DMK government for power cuts, is now not bothered about people's predicament created by frequent, prolonged blackouts."
Listing the achievements of his government during the past five years and also the welfare schemes introduced during this period, Mr. Karunanidhi said his government had sanctioned the Rs.369-crore project for linking the Tamirabharani, Karumaeniyar and Nambiyar to take surplus water of the perennial river to the dry regions of the district.
"As a mark of disapproving the present callous administration and approving the meticulous management of the previous DMK government, you should support our candidate J. Jawahar Suryakumar in the March 18 by-poll," he appealed.
Alliance party leaders Khader Mohideen of the IUML, Thol. Thirumavalavan of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, former Congress MP R. Dhanushkodi Athithan and former minister S. Durai Murugan spoke.

Clarifying Singson's compensation package
This refers to the news article titled "Del Rosario highest paid in the Cabinet" (Inquirer, 11/25/12) written by Cynthia D. Balana, citing among others: "Placing third was Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson who was paid P2.216 million, including discretionary funds and EMEs [extraordinary and miscellaneous expenses] amounting to P308,280.05."
For purposes of clarification, in 2011, I received a total of P2,064,698.66, inclusive of P905,393 as annual salary and the remaining amount as payment for various allowances and expenses such as personnel economic relief, representation, clothing, productivity, bonus, collective negotiation agreement, productivity enhancement incentive, extraordinary and miscellaneous expenses (EME),
including my expenses for official local and foreign travels.
Please note that in 2011, my monthly salary was P75,499.42 a month; while for 2012 with the last tranche of salary standardization law, my monthly salary increased to P84,864.50.
The Comptrollership and Financial Management Service of the Department of Public Works and Highways has issued a certification on the breakdown of salaries and other benefits I received as public works secretary from 2011 to 2012, for ready reference. I hope that I have clarified the matter.

2010-11-09 by Bill Hennessy
November 9, 2010
I'm pastor of a medium sized congregation in a suburban setting. Theologically I would consider this church to be left of center for the most part. They are very mission minded with many connections in the city of Buffalo which has been rated the third most impoverished city of its size in the country. Where we are the effects of that poverty are not keenly felt. And there is a certain insulation against global poverty as well. So thinking globally is always a challenge, but one I think they welcome.
So as I think about the image from Isaiah 65:17-25 shaping the life of this congregation, I find myself wondering how to convey the need that lies beneath that image. Isaiah is speaking into a world where folks are wondering if they have any future at all. While our current economy is having that effect on a lot of people in terms of questioning the future, I don't know if there's a direct parallel.
One approach that might be helpful is to begin with vignettes of people who are struggling in a modern way with uncertainty and fear: loss of a job, break-down of a marriage, bad news from a doctor. The threat of disaster is often more difficult to live with than the disaster itself. How does a promise of a new creation speak into that threat? How do we connect with God's promise of blessedness when our lives seem to say otherwise? And where might we see that promise unfolding even now?
One of the dangers of living with the threat of disaster is shutting our eyes and ears to God's goodness still at work around us. We turn in on ourselves and shut ourselves off from God. This passage insists that we open our eyes to look beyond what we can see and peer into God's future that overwhelms our present distress.
Well, that's a start….
2010-11-09 by Stephen Schuette
There's a lot to be afraid of in our world. In this age of terrorism it may be why we have such a deep concern about who has power. Fear is a basic human instinct that is connected with our survival, kind of wired into our DNA. Fear helps us to be cautious, to heighten our sensitivity when there may be danger, helps us to pay attention to threats. As parents it's something we try to help little toddlers to learn, a little fear around fire, stairways, streets and traffic. All of that is protective.
And so when it comes to apocalyptic the literature at first pulls at something deep within us. Fear and apprehension kick in at the vivid cataclysmic descriptions of a world in which what seemed permanent and fixed, like temple stones, are thrown down. In these calamitous upheavals, "Beware," says Jesus.
But let's be clear about what he's saying and what he's not saying. For Jesus knows that our fears can get out of hand. He doesn't say to beware of these events or the upheaval itself. Rather he's suggesting to beware of your reaction, and of those who might encourage you to give into a total fear response. The words of Jesus are, in fact, words of encouragement and steadiness, even stabilizing, and go so far as to suggest that among the falling rocks there's an "opportunity." (Maybe Jesus would have bungee jumped? Come to think of it, I guess he did more than any kind of "trust fall.")
In other words fear may be protective in specific situations of danger to get you out of harms way. But fear is not a good basis for your life. What's more, don't let fear blind you to what God is about. The source of false fear may be in false hope which needs to crumble before a genuine hope can be established.
Truth is I don't think we have the beginning of an inkling of the power we have. We are powerful beyond imagining if what we hope for is also what God hopes for through us. It's testimony time!
Luke 21:5-19
Some First Thoughts on Isaiah 65:17-25
2010-11-08 by Bill Hennessy
I'm new to blogging, so I don't know if what I'm doing will meet everyone's expectations, but I'll give it a shot. I've been looking today at Isaiah 65:17-25 and I have a lot of images rolling around in my head. The image of a new creation, I think, is the most powerful image scripture has to offer. It seems an image like this emerges in Israel's life often when things have reached a nadir of distress and anxiety about the future. In this case, I believe, post-exilic Israel society is looking at the challenge of re-building and failing to see what might be possible. This passage might have emerged, in fact, contemporaneously with the prophet Haggai's words which the Lectionary used last week.
What is it that God has in mind for Israel's future? Recently I've been reading N. T. Wright's new book Surprised by Hope. In the first two sections he builds the argument that when it comes to resurrection and the point of the Christian life, scripture isn't primarily concerned with what happens to us when we die. Our future, individually and corporately, is inextricably bound to the future of the whole creation. Just so, he points out, is Israel's future tied to the whole creation. He writes: "What the gospel of Jesus revealed, however, was that the purposes of God were reaching out to a different question: how is God going to rescue the world through Israel and thereby rescue Israel itself as part of the process but not as the point of it all?" (Wright, 185)
I agree with Wright about the gospel, but I think that view is reflected well in Hebrew scripture as well. This passage in Isaiah reflects one side of a dialogue in Hebrew scripture which shifts between the idea of God being for Israel alone and God being for the world through Israel. Isaiah 65:17-25 gives voice to the latter. The image is one that anticipates a new creation that begins with Jerusalem and extends to the world.
A question I find myself asking in light of this passage is, "How can this image of a new creation begin to inform and shape the life of the congregation where I serve?" That's the question I'll start with as I make my way through the Lectionary this week.

The first symptoms started out when my iPhone would start running low on battery power quicker than normal. Then when I started using any app, the entire phone would shut down. At which point I needed to use my charger to give it a boost (even though the battery wasn't even drained). From there on everything started to decline, if I used the gps...shutdown, texting...shutd
My Fix
It took about 30 minutes. Kinda stressful, felt like I was performing surgery on my own kid. I would recommend watching the video once or twice first and read thru the pdf document just to familiarize yourself first before you start unscrewing anything. That cable #3 was the trickiest part, I actually forgot to re-attach it (I didn't see it) It was only after I got a call from someone and I couldn't hear the person on the other line unless I used "Speaker". So I disassembled it again, identified the problem and very carefully tried to slide the connector into place (small fingers or a tweezers would come in handy here). After it's all said and done, it worked! You feel like a super genius! A real sense of accomplishment! Now my phone works great and can hold out for the iphone5. The videos and pdfs on "How to's" were awesome!
My Advice
This is a great alternative than buying a new phone. Take your time when your doing it. Make a little map/diagram of where the screws go and be gentle with the spudger when your try to lift the connectors out. The battery will take a little more force.
I'm not technically inclined, so if I can do this... ANYONE can! It's a real eye opener to the potential of what you can accomplish!

Sonnet 62
Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye,
|–William Shakespeare
Shakespeare's Sonnet 62 is one of the poems in his sonnet sequence addressed to the young man with whom Shakespeare shares an intimate but tormented connection. This sonnet brings together a number of themes that run through the cycle: the speaker's awareness of social and other differences between him and the beloved; the power and limitations of poetic art; and the puzzling sense in which love erases the boundaries between individuals.
I am an extremely vain person; I am proud both of my outward form and of my personality. This sin, furthermore, is so deeply rooted in my soul that I do not believe it can ever be removed. However, when I look at my own real face in the mirror, I am disgusted, and I realize that to love such a face would be a sin. In fact, what I love about myself is my possession of you, and my beauty derives from the part of you that I possess.
Source and analysis[edit]
The conceit of the poem is derived most nearly from Petrarch; however, the idea of lovers who have in some sense exchanged souls is commonplace and proverbial. The connected theme--the speaker's unworthiness compared to his beloved--is likewise traditional.
Line 7 has posed some problems. Edward Dowden hypothesized that "for myself" meant "for my own satisfaction," and certain editors suggest that "do" be amended to "so." Consensus, however, has settled on some version of the gloss of Nicolaus Delius: "I define my own worth for myself," with "do" as an intensifier.
For "beated" in line 10, Edmond Malone suggested "bated," and George Steevens "blasted." Dowden speculated, without accepting, the possibility that "beated" referred to a process of tanning; John Shakespeare was a glover. Stephen Booth notes that the use of "bating" in this sense is not attested before the nineteenth century.
Helen Vendler sees the speaker of the poem as harshly criticizing his own weakness and foolishness, but for most critics the poem is lighter in mood. Though it echoes other poems in the sequence which present the connections created by love as painful, in this poem, the presence of the beloved is comforting rather than terrifying.

Play the tutorial. After that, learn the roles.
Top lane- Bruiser. Usually heavy melee tank. Example: Garen.
Gold+ EXP from last hitting minions.
Mid lane- AP carry. AP= Ability Power. Spellcaster who uses skills to melt foes. Examples: Ryze, Annie.
Gets EXP and gold from last hitting minions.
Bottom (bot) lane- AD carry and support. AD carry- Attack Damage. Relies on powerful autoattacks to deal heavy damage. Very squishy.
Examples- Ashe, Sivir.
Gold+ Exp from last hitting minions.
Support- also goes bot- Does not get kills, or gold. Helps ADC survive.
Jungler- Stays in the jungle and helps ambush (or "gank") lanes. Gets EXP and gold from killing the monster camps that spawn in the jungle. Also gets buffs from killing specific monsters.
Good luck. Try playing against bots at first, and if it's too hard, just make a custom game on the Proving Grounds to practice last hitting.
Just play more. You'll get better with practice.
Ask me about warspoons.
you just think its fun

Straight up and tell them you are a newb in chat when the game starts, lol community is quite forgiving. You are expect to be a old timer at any level because of smurfing(even 1 digit level), therefore all the rants and yells you were having.
Do not behave like you know everything, they would treat you worse. I haven't seen anyone calling name or anything if they speak up instead of playing quietly.
