Fireclay in Japan
Peeps who have built an oven in Japan, any idea where I could acquire fire clay? So far I have only found fire mortar, fire cement, and fire putty.
The fire putty is labeled "cement type" so I assume one is supposed to mix it with water. Could this be the so called fire clay?
Re: Fireclay in Japan
Ask Laurentius or Mikku
Re: Fireclay in Japan
Hi Filmost,
Where are you? Do you have any kiln builders or ceramicists (potters) in your area, they are the best bet. You may also check with Joyful Honda or Komeri stores.

Re: Fireclay in Japan
Hello Filmost!
How about telling us a little about yourself and what you are doing. You are about an hour from me in one direction and about the same from Laurentius in the other--depends if you know the roads and drive the speed limit! I am into casting things from refractory mortar.. You can bet better information on regular brick construction from sensei Laurentius!
Good to see there is another English speaker in Japan with an interest in WFO's, it is very habit forming.. don't know if that is good or bad?
Re: Fireclay in Japan
What I did decide to do recently though, is to use the stones as a base, b/c I can't exactly throw them away. They are at least 12in squares and between 3-5 inches thick I think. So I am thinking instead of casing concrete and building up walls, that I would first layer and stack them with mortar or concrete and rebar (seriously I have so many stones...) into a solid base. Level out the top, then add on a layer or two of blocks on top of that.
After that, instead of casting my own concrete top, I was thinking of layering several precast concrete slabs (there will be support wall in the middle), then add a ceramic wool board on top of that and build up my dome.
It'll be a corner build, and I am not sure if what I have written gives you a good idea or not, haha, but please let me know what you think!
Re: Fireclay in Japan
Hello- glad that you replied, relatively quickly.
I don't want to throw cold water onto your ideas, but I think that you are making a much bigger job out of a relatively cheap and easy base construction. If it were my build and in your location, I would use the stones anywhere else-like digging them into the ground somewhere to use as stepping stones or really anything... You want a solid base for whatever you are doing -- cement blocks are available depending on where you buy and the quality of the block purchased. If you buy from a home center, they are very cheap but they do not carry a stamp JIS or JAS ink stamp on the block itself. The home center stuff simply is the proper size--approximately but not rated for any weights and no specific recipe used for their manufacture.. The ones that you buy from a concrete specialty company may be 30% more expensive, but you know that the product meets certain standards and usually hold up better to freeze thaw cycles--they are usually specified for outside applications... the home center stuff is generally for interior use...But most people are not savvy to this so they only shop for best price!
All the different posts for bases using cement block are very straight forward and easy to accomplish. Does not require any special block laying experience--only the ability to occasionally make a cut OR you make your base as a multiple of the modular size of the block and get away with cuts almost entirely. You simply stack them up on a flat foundation--- If you are going to go this way, when you pour your foundation slab--before it actually sets solid, stick some rebar L's into the concrete where the cavities of the block will hit. This will help to anchor the block to the slab when you are filling the block cavities. If you stack the block right on top of each other, using Japanese block, there is an upper recess to run horizontal rebar with each course as well as you punching the bottoms out of the cavities---and allow to have vertical reinforcement as well. If you lay the block up without mortar, your height does not come out like it would in the USA because USA allows 3/8" for your mortar bed then your coursing hits at 8" (finish height) or shiyagi.
That is the way, I would recommend you to go--ask Laurentius as well and he will probably say "ditto". But I am a kind-a-funny type of person giving recommendations....I don't even have a base made for my oven! But I have been using it for making all kinds of stuff already! Now I am tossing around the idea of selling the oven that I have and make a different design one for my use. I am beginning to focus on what we what to do with an oven---that is: make bread, bake cookies, pies, all kinds of things like that, possibly make some pasty or meat pies and occasionally do a pizza. I think that rather than a dome, I am leaning more to the barrel type---but in a precast design and then actually much larger than those used for most individual homes....those are must my thoughts right now!
The oven that I have comes up to temp..500plus C. in a little over 1 1/2 hours--if I fire it to saturation, that will take another hour--but 1 hour after starting--you can be baking pizza to your hearts delight--the three minute variety right now.. if I learn how to use the flame better, maybe a 90 second pizza would be possible. Right now, my oven weighs in at about 1200 kg--fully movable anywhere with the use of a boom truck, can be set on any foundation...that was the idea of my build in the first place. Make it movable to set up for future customers.. Now my criteria is changing!
I am known for my windy answers--some of my friends call my e-mails, mini-novels.. But if they are not interested in reading what I write...they do not have to take the time........some scan and then call me up for advice... That kind of burns my butt--if they read it totally--and don't understand something, then I will describe better with a phone call... Otherwise, they can p up a tree!
So, glad to see there is another yankee around in Japan, meaning American. If you are a northerner or southerner makes a big difference---some of the southern persons are sensitive...so I have to be urged to use some tact which I am short of..
So any southerners reading this--please do not take offense--none intended! Some of the southerners are really gifted in their baking skills--so maybe I just shut up!
What city do you live in anyway? Are you military or previous military, and which age group do you belong? Really does not matter much but I am too nosey!
If I have bad spelling or incorrect use of English...sorry, this is way too long to proof. So fill in the blanks--I hope you get my drift in my poor English!
Re: Fireclay in Japan
Wow Mikku, thanks for the in depth reply!
To be honest, the only reason I am planning to use these stones is b/c I am not going to do anything else with them. I actually dug the up b/c I didn't want to deal with the trouble of cutting around them during lawn mowing. So I figure I might as well recycle them into my foundation, b/c at the moment they are just in the way. I would think it would be cheaper and stronger this way as well, given it will end up being a solid block and I would only need to buy mortar or cement and rebar/chicken wire.
That's really awesome that you built a mobile one! Would love to see photos if you have any publicly available ;-) For me, I decided to go with the dome style b/c it seemed like the barrel type requires too much material for thermal mass. That and I need a faster heating oven vs long heat holding. I am planning to eventually add on a small smoker/grill to the side of the oven, but we will see.
I am not ex-military. Actually came over right after college and taught English via the JET program. Have been here ever since. Currently I do engineer support for a tiny semi-conductor company and teach English to some local kids on the side. Also regarding your post, I happen to be from the south, Arkansas to be precise, and I didn't think it was offensive at all lol, but then again I am Asian as well, so that could be it.
Re: Fireclay in Japan
Wow! you are a young fella then! So you are an Asian American from Arkansas...is Japanese something you grew up hearing frequently OR something you have to struggle with like me? And why the heck did you leave Arkansas to come to Japan? That is one of the most beautiful states in the south!
I read your post again--I really need a photo of the stones you are talking about! Are you sure you did not discover a Jomon Period structure--the Japan equivalent to Stone Hedge? or Henge? Just joking..
If there were some photos, I might be able to comment more on the build. "Oya-ishi" is very common around this area but it is difficult to make masonry joints...it has a bad habit of sucking all the moisture from the mortar joints--really not setting before it dries out! "STONECUTTER" can give advice on laying stone, I am clueless! Questions on bricklaying and tunnel shaped ovens direct to "BRICKIE OF OZ"; questions on castable refractory --talk to "david s".
You are still going to need a hard walking surface surrounding your oven, laying stone as a paver I think is a lot easier than laying them up for a structural base, I'd try to lay them closer then grout around them making a very impressive floor surface!
My oven is really not mobile in the broadly accepted sense. I can move it because it has casters! Or move it with a forklift, because it does not have a home yet! Or move it with an unic boom truck...if I want to exactly set it in a specific location. But not mobile in that I can take it along with me to serve pizza at a local gathering ---or something like that!
I cannot do a long post tonight, only got 2 1/2 hours sleep yesterday so I am approaching maximum fatigue. Also had to look up meaning of b/c, not my generation slang but now I understand. If you have oya stone, it can be easily cut and chipped into different shapes for an oven exterior veneer--then you would use an epoxy instead of mortar and lay it up without grout lines.
BTW, I am a first generation, born in America person of Finnish ancestry, maybe also considered a red-neck because I work with my hands outdoors, WASP, if you consider the Finns part of the Viking hoard that invaded Great Britain and passed their DNA onto the anglo locals. Familiar with a lot of construction applications and always willing to try something new. All the little descriptions hint about who I am but really am an "odd ball" that does not fit any of the stereotypes!
You can check out my build by referencing--"Getting Started" then scroll to "Structural Slab for new WFO" it is still in its infancy but fun to use!
Re: Fireclay in Japan
Wow what a difference 6 hours of sleep (all in a row) makes! Put away my "rose colored glasses for viewing the world" and put on the clear pair............Ummmmmmmmmmm.. Rose makes the world look better!
Commenting on oven types, for a beginner, I think that a barrel type would be easier to master and get good results... There must be a reason "Brickie" chose that type...not saying he is a beginner (Sorry) but instead a pro who knows that a quick, build that gives great interior space and can be used for a whole lot of things may be preferable! the dome is something that takes so much cutting and fitting--(but shows off either the builders' skills or lack of them quickly). I think it all comes down to how much insulation you use, its placement and the time you take planning your work. If it were me--and not using a castable design, I think that I would go with the barrel. All things being equal--result wise, think that the barrel shines above the dome! But just my opinion after my only (1 off build).
In hind sight, pericrete is cheapest, but the negative side is the huge amount of time it takes to dry the water out of the stuff! Even after numerous burns, I still think that my oven is off-gassing-steam from water still present in all the pericrete I used.
You can do all your own research and come up with your own conclusions--but I like quicker results. Don't mind taking time making something, but once it has a useful shape, I want it to work.
Next time for me is barrel type; castable; ceramic fiber onto castable; metal enclosure, and a whole lot of dry perlite or vermiculite poured around the whole oven itself within the metal shell---mountains of it! then the case tightly closed up for weather protection and the oven placed in a good dry place for use.
I am rambling again and really don't have time--have to travel 70 km to new job this morning--but higher elevation area so maybe a little cooler. Yesterday was pretty hot! I guess this is welcoming summer after the prolonged rainy season has finally finished (maybe). Cheers with your build--get in touch with Laurentius for advice and sourcing. Not too many other English speakers interested in WFO's in Japan right now... Welcome aboard and keep your posts coming!
Also, read up as much as you can on previous builds. The pros on this sight are happy to give great advice BUT most get tired of repeating the same answers for the ten-thousand - n'th time! but new twists to old questions is just fine! After a while, you will be able to recognize personalities.
BTW, do you have any "good - Asian American - twists to southern food recipe's" really like to see what your mix of cultures produced as far as cuisine!

text: The WCW vs. nWo: World Tour wiki last edited by PoorTommy on 12/18/14 12:02PM View full history OverviewWCW vs. nWo: World Tour is the first in a line of wrestling games developed for the Nintendo 64 that was developed by AKI Corporation and published by THQ, it is the sequel to the PS-one game WCW vs the World, and the sequel WCW/nWo Revenge was the second and last WCW game for the Nintendo 64, followed by WWF WrestleMania 2000 once the WWF license had expired from Acclaim, and finally WWF No Mercy. Each game shows a huge progression from the last, and probably makes the Nintendo 64 the console of choice for any wrestling fan of the era, and still considered by many as the best era in wrestling games and wrestling too, the "Attitude" Era.AKI also developed two games in Japan Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 and Virtual Pro Wrestling 2.Game ModesWCW VS nWo - 5 vs. 5 Elimination style match pitting only WCW vs. nWoExhibition - Featuring 1 vs. 1, 2 vs 2 Tag Team match, 2 vs. 1 Handicap Match and Battle Royal 4 player elimination matchLeague Challenge - Main single player mode where player competes against all wrestlers from the four Promotions to unlock hidden leagues and wrestlersLeague - Round Robin style league for for up to eight singles wrestlers or Tag Teams to compete against each other inTournament - Knock out tournament for up to eight singles wrestlers or Tag TeamsGameplayWCW vs. nWo has a very simple combat system, based on the Fire Pro Wrestling series. Grapple moves are performed by using a strong or light grapple, performed by holding down the A button or tapping it. Also, a strong or light strike can be performed by holding the B button down or tapping it.Once in a grapple, a move can be executed by pressing the A or B buttons, either with the D-pad in the neutral position or a combination of up and down being pressed, offering a wide variety of moves that could be executed.Also in a grapple, the opponent can be "whipped" towards the ropes or turnbuckle using the Left-C button. Upon bouncing off the ropes and returning to the player, either variant of the grapple or strike could be executed. In the turnbuckle, much like with standard grapples, up and down on the D-pad with a press of either A or B will execute different maneuvers.Players can run using the left-C button and perform a running strike by pressing the B button. Also running into the turnbuckle will cause your wrestler to climb up it and releasing the button would perform a diving attack, depending on the position of your opponent and if they were standing or lying. With certain wrestlers it is also possible to dive out of the ring by pressing A at the correct time while running at the ropes as your opponent is outside.Taunting was also controlled by the use of the analog stick by pushing it in any direction, allowing you to raise your spirit meter. Once raising the meter to maximum it flashes with the word SPECIAL, giving you a limited time to perform the wrestlers special attack, which is often the wrestler's signature finishing maneuver. This is done by a strong grapple either from the front or rear of the opponent and tapping a direction of the analog stick.Over the course of the game series AKI further refined the control scheme, improving it with each passing game and offering a wider range of moves and ways that can be done by the time they finally released WWF No Mercy.RosterThere are 42 wrestlers to select from in the character select screen, but about only half of the roster were based on their WCW-contracted counterparts. The developers of AKI employed various facsimiles of Japanese wrestlers--to waive copyrights and licensing--of their concurrently developed Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 into the roster of WCW vs. nWo to add depth to the roster tally, even if it was at a superficial level. The factions of Dead or Alive and the Independent Union are fictional composites of the Japanese promotions Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) and Michinoku Pro. At an initial glance, it is quite an impressive roster. However, when compared to VPW 64, it becomes plain to see that WCW vs. nWo was given the short end by having dozens of wrestlers less than its Japanese analog. This matter can be assuaged by the assumption that most of its potential audience would have been confused by the inclusion of 80 odd ersatz Japanese wrestlers. At least WCW vs. nWo has the distinction of having "nWo Sting" (as a unique character), Glacier, Wrath, and the purely fictitious Joe Bruiser as exclusive members of its roster.The fictional characters and promotions created for this game are delineated by their real counterparts in parentheses.WCWChris BenoitRic FlairEddie GuerreroLex LugerDean MalenkoRick SteinerScott SteinerStingUltimo DragonRey Mysterio Jr.Steven RegalDiamond Dallas Page - HiddennWo"Hollywood" HoganScott HallKevin NashSyxxEric BischoffnWo StingBuff BagwellScott Norton"Macho Man" Randy Savage - HiddenDOA (FMW)Sumo Jo (Genichiro Tenryu) Kim Chee (Koji Kitao)Blackheart (Tarzan Goto)Puchteca (Atsushi Onita)Hannibal (Hayabusa)Powder Keg (Terry "Bamm Bamm" Gordy)Dim Sum (Gedo)Saladin (Abdullah the Butcher)Ali Baba (The Original Sheik)Wrath - HiddenIndependent Union (Michinoku Pro)Black Ninja (The Great Sasuke)Shaolin (Jinsei "Hakushi" Shinzaki)The Unknown (Super Delfin)The Claw (Gran Naniwa)Black Belt (TAKA Michinoku)PacoLoco (Dick Togo and "Terry Boy" Men's Teioh)Shaman (Wellington Williams Jr.)Master Fuji (El Gran Hamada)Glacier - HiddenWhole World WrestlingJoe Bruiser - HiddenBlack Widow - Hidden (Manami Toyota)

Lindsay Lohan to guest star on 'Anger Management' - Charlie Sheen saves her yet againAdd to Favorites | Anger Management
Lindsay Lohan should start calling "Scary Movie 5" the role of her career, because it brought her face-to-face with Charlie Sheen. Though she reportedly refused to kiss him for the flick, the two ended up becoming friends and he even gave her the money to pay off her 2009 tax bill.
Now Sheen has come to Lohan's aid yet again. It is being reported that Lohan will appear in an upcoming episode of FX's "Anger Management" opposite Sheen. She will reportedly play herself, and will develop "a romantic relationship with Sheen's character after becoming his therapy patient."
This news comes after Lohan's planned foray back into acting backfired. Her Lifetime movie "Liz & Dick" was met with tepid reviews and her antics on the set of "The Canyons" didn't earn her much respect, so this "Anger Management" appearance might be just what her career needs. Hopefully Sheen's generosity isn't for naught, and Lohan gives the performance she keeps promising in the show.

ROMANS didn't just send people to gruesome deaths in their gladiatorial amphitheatres, they could hear every last scream, too. The acoustics of Greek and Roman amphitheatres, it seems, improved with every new design.
The open-air theatres of ancient Greece around 1500 BC were simple rectangular or trapezoidal arenas surrounded by wood or stone seating on the same level. By 500 BC, the semicircular amphitheatre began to take shape, with concentric rows of marble seats often raised on a low slope. Later, the Romans raised the stage, walled it at the back and made the seats very highly tiered.
But were these changes merely to pack in bigger crowds? To find out, Jian Kang and Kalliopi Chourmouziadou at the University of Sheffield, UK, studied how the theatres' acoustics changed through the ages (Applied Acoustics, DOI: 10.1016/j.apacoust.2006.12.009). They analysed six Greek and Roman designs using software that simulates how sound level, clarity and reverberation behave in 3D spaces.
They found that the acoustics improved as the theatres got more enclosed, had steeper seats and higher stages, and were built from harder materials. "These measures allowed for multiple sound reflections between the seats and the stage," says Kang. "This higher reverberation made it much more like an indoor space."

Fallout 3: caravan guard (sort of)
I've tried something new tonight, I had a new character who being low level was very careful about roaming the Wasteland so I thought that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have him follow a caravan.
It turned out to be quite funny as well and it's a great way to explore with a character who is either low level or non violent.
My trip started from Megaton and we almost made it to Arlington Library:
unfortunately the caravan leader was killed by raiders in the compound west of Arlington Library.
Funny that these guys who circle the DC wasteland can't really survive even with a little help from the Vault Dweller.

Hehe ... what a great idea. I'll have to try it when I start up a new game. So how long do those guys stick around in one place anyway?

The best place to catch them is Megaton, from what I've seen they leave at dusk. I don't think they stay for long in any given place. In fact when I tried this yesterday they hardly ever stopped (well they did have a chat with Outcasts).
I have to try it again, low level is better because it means enemies are less powerful and the caravan can survive longer.
I should have left the caravan before they got killed but I didn't feel like reloading after that happened. I hope I won't run out of caravans though (the one I lost is Hoff's).

Behavioral Interview Questions always seek to identify your past experiences. To determine which questions to ask, the recruiter first identifies those skills and abilities needed to successfully perform the job for which you are applying.
The philosophy behind this type of interview is that past behavior is the best predictor of future performance. This has become a very popular and widely used interview style. Expect more and more recruiters to use this type of interview.
To prepare for a behavioral interview, evaluate the position. List the skills and abilities needed for the job. Select the five most important. Then think of three examples that show how you have used those skills or abilities well. At the same time, think of one example when you didn't use that skill well. Take time to determine what you learned about yourself from that negative experience. Well-trained recruiters will look for what they call 'contrary evidence' to create a balanced picture of a candidate.
Recruiters who use this style are trained to be patient. Even though these are difficult questions, they will wait until you have given an answer before they move on to another question. It's O.K. to take a few moments to think before answering. If you are not prepared, the silence before your answer can seem like an eternity. If you anticipate the questions, there will be less silent time.
Listed below are sample questions which are frequently asked in behavioral interviews. After evaluating the position for which you are applying, attempt to create your own behavioral questions based on these ideas.
Give me an example of a time when you have had to deal with a difficult student, professor, customer or neighbor. What happened? What did you do?
When you have a multitude of things to do, how do you set your schedule?
Tell me about something that you have done that was creative.
Tell me about a time when you had to make a quick decision that you were proud of.
Give me an example of an important goal you set and explain how you achieved it.
Describe a time when you had to roll with the punches.
Tell me about a job/task that was boring. How did you deal with it?
Give me an example of a time when you found a clever way of motivating a friend/student/employee.
Tell me about a major obstacle that you encountered in your last job/class and how you handled it.
Give me an example of a miscommunication with a professor/student/friend. How did you solve it?
Tell me about a time when a change of policy or a changed decision made your work difficult. What did you do?
Tell me about a time when you had to communicate unpleasant information to a friend/employee/professor. What happened?
Give me an example of a time when you had to make a decision without consulting your boss. What did you do?
Tell me about a time when you had to make a decision when you had too little information to easily arrive at a decision. What happened?
What type of things make you angry? How have you dealt with them?
You have explained that you are decisive and able to cope with most situations. Now tell me about a time when you had a problem you couldn't solve.
Tell me about a time when you had to change procedures to solve a problem. What did you do?
Tell me about a time when you made a decision when no policy existed to cover the situation. Explain.

AMD Radeon HD 8670D: Gallium3D vs. Catalyst
This morning there were the RadeonSI Gallium3D vs. AMD Catalyst Linux benchmarks for the high-end Radeon HD 7850/7950 "Southern Islands" graphics cards. While the new Southern Islands GPUs understandingly have a long way to catch up on their new open-source Linux Gallium3D driver compared to Catalyst, how is the AMD Radeon HD 8670D "Richland" APU performance between the open and closed-source drivers? Here are some benchmarks.

Open-Source RadeonSI Gallium3D vs. AMD Catalyst On Linux
Towards the end of June I published AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D benchmarks, the open-source Linux graphics driver supporting the Radeon HD 7000/8000 series hardware on Linux. While the alternative to the Catalyst driver can accelerate OpenGL, it's very slow. Open-source driver benchmarks were shown in that article compared to older generations of AMD Radeon hardware backed by the mature R600 Gallium3D driver. In this article are benchmarks comparing the open-source "RadeonSI" driver to the proprietary AMD Catalyst GPU driver on the Radeon HD 7850/7950 graphics cards. As an additional driver reference point were also Radeon HD 7950 Cayman results; all testing happened from Fedora 19 Linux.

AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D Performance Has A Long Way To Go
With Fedora 19 presenting a nice "out of the box" experience for AMD Radeon HD 7000 series graphics using the open-source RadeonSI Gallium3D driver, benchmarks of the open-source driver were done and compared to previous generations of AMD hardware. Sadly, there's still much work ahead for the Radeon HD 7000 series driver in being able to catch up with the hardware supported under the mature R600 Gallium3D driver.

The First Benchmarks Of Unity On XMir: There's A Performance Hit
With Thursday's announcement that Mir will ship by default in Ubuntu 13.10 on the desktop, many Ubuntu users were caught by surprise that this experimental display server will be ready by October. Up to now, Ubuntu 13.10 was expected to continue using an X.Org Server by default on the desktop (with only an experimental option for Mir) while the new Ubuntu Touch project would be using Mir on mobile devices, until next year. With the pressed timeline for the migration to Mir, at Phoronix we have already carried out our first Mir benchmarks. In this article are the first benchmarks of Intel graphics when running on Ubuntu 13.10 with a native X.Org Server (as done now on current Ubuntu Linux releases) and then when deploying the same Unity desktop environment atop XMir with the Mir unity-system-compositor.

SNA Acceleration Works Great For Intel Core i7 Haswell
To complement the Intel Haswell Linux OpenGL benchmarks that we have been publishing on Phoronix for the past week, up today are some Intel Linux 2D performance benchmarks of Haswell with the Intel Core i7 4770K CPU. The 2D performance is comparing Intel's default UXA accelerated code-paths against the experimental SNA acceleration back-end.

The Wayland Situation: Facts About X vs. Wayland
With the continued speculation and FUD about the future of Wayland at a time when Canonical is investing heavily into their own Mir Display Server alternative, Eric Griffith with input from Daniel Stone have written an article for Phoronix where they lay out all the facts. The "Wayland Situation" is explained with first going over the failings of X, the fixings of Wayland, common misconceptions about X and Wayland, and then a few other advantages to Wayland. For anyone interested in X/Wayland or the Linux desktop at a technical level, it's an article certainly worth reading!

Gallium3D Continues Improving OpenGL For Older Radeon GPUs
Curious to see how the performance of the open-source ATI/AMD Linux graphics driver is evolving for aging hardware, a new round of OpenGL benchmarks were carried out on the once-popular ATI Radeon HD 4870 "RV770" graphics card. The performance was compared between the Mesa 7.11, 8.0, 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2-devel Git releases from an Ubuntu Linux system to see how the performance has changed for this driver in the past two years.

AMD Radeon R600 GPU LLVM 3.3 Back-End Testing
One of the exciting features of LLVM 3.3 that is due out next month is the final integration of the AMD R600 GPU LLVM back-end. This LLVM back-end is needed for supporting Gallium3D OpenCL on AMD Radeon graphics hardware, "RadeonSI" HD 7000/8000 series support, and can optionally be used as the Radeon Gallium3D driver's shader compiler. In this article are some benchmarks of the AMD R600 GPU LLVM back-end from LLVM 3.3-rc1 when using several different AMD Radeon HD graphics cards and seeing how the LLVM compiler back-end affects the OpenGL graphics performance.

How to update tired cupboards.
Q. We'd like to update our kitchen but can't afford to replace the oak cabinets. Should we paint them — maybe white or off-white? Or distress them? Is that easy to do on our own, or should we hire someone? We are planning to replace the countertops with granite ones. Any other ideas for our kitchen are welcome!
— L.S., via email (To submit your own question, see our Ask A Designer™ page.)
A. A mini reno like this will make a big difference. And your cabinets, if just a little dated, look salvageable, so I think you can do this on your own.
Start by removing the angled bulkheads above the cabinets to open up the space. And I'd remove the light box on the ceiling; it's too visually heavy for the space. (This may entail repainting the ceiling, or having the stucco removed altogether.) Replace the box with a low-profile track system that will inject plenty of light without looking imposing.
Consider using quartz instead of granite for your countertops because it requires a lot less maintenance. I like the warm taupe-grey of 4230 Shitake by CaesarStone; it has a subtle pattern that will stay current longer.
Pull a new wall colour from the quartz, like Tangible (6J2-5) by Beauti-Tone. Then, go with Soho (6J2-3), a warm neutral also by Beauti-Tone, for the cabinets. For a custom look, install a beadboard backsplash and remove a set of cabinet doors to create an open display shelf, as in our inspiration shot. Oil-rubbed bronze hardware that's so dark it's almost black will contrast nicely with the light-painted cabinets. Lee Valley Tools' Cast Utility handles have simple lines for an understated but fresh aesthetic.
I think you have enough space for a small freestanding island. The Home Depot's Savannah cart is less than 21" wide, plus the casters mean it can be easily moved if needed. A metal lamp, like Ikea's Foto pendant, over your table will add a hit of industrial edge.
Lastly, have roman shades made from a beautiful fabric. Spring Mix in Aloe by Robert Allen has a stylized floral design in a rich, earthy palette to complement your new wall colour. And then use the colours in the fabric to choose accessories that finish off the room.
See more Ask A Designer responses. Plus, submit your own question, with instructions from our Ask A Designer™ page.
1. Work cart, The Home Depot. 2. Hardware, Lee Valley Tools. 3. Pendant lamp, Ikea. 4. Fabric, Robert Allen. 5. Quartz, CaesarStone. 6. Paint, from top: Tangible (6J2-5), Soho (6J2-3), Beauti-Tone.

Track to Compete at SPIRE Invitational
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- The West Virginia University track and field team is set to travel to Geneva, Ohio, for the SPIRE Invitational this Friday and Saturday.
"We are looking forward to competing at SPIRE," says coach Sean Cleary. "We had some nice performances last week and look to continue to progress.
"The level of competition will be second to none. We expect to come home with some improved marks."
Last weekend, WVU participated at the Akron Invite in Akron, Ohio. Four different Mountaineers recorded personal-best marks.
Sophomore Hannah Stone continued her recent momentum in the high jump, registering her best jump as a Mountaineer with a height of 1.73 meters.
Senior Katlyn Shelar posted a season-best high jump with a mark of 3.97 meters, and senior Stormy Nesbit had her season-best long jump with a leap of 5.84 meters.
The Mountaineer 4x400 meter relay team of Jenna Barreto, Alyssa Scherich, Bria Welker and Christa D'Egido placed fifth, recording the best time for a WVU team in the event this season at 3:53.05.
The SPIRE Invite will begin on Friday, at 2 p.m., with the women's pentathlon, and concludes on Saturday with the women's triple jump scheduled for 2 p.m.
The Mountaineers return to Morgantown to host the WVU Gold/Blue next Saturday, Feb. 21, at the WVU Shell Building.

Why wingtip brogues are popular
A complete wardrobe of boots is a must for different occasions. However if there is only one boot that you want to invest in this season, there is nothing better than leather wingtip brogues. This classic trend has made a strong comeback in men's trends.
Whether it is business or social occasions, you can sport wingtip brogues and look sophisticated! Traditionally, men would team up trousers to office and for official occasions, but with changing styles, it looks cool even on a formal evening out! Interestingly due to the comfort factor even Nike has started creating sportswear and comfortable footwear offerings in the wingtip brogue styles!
If you like to dress up your fall suit, especially in tweed and flannel, what better way than a pair of brogues. For all those men who prefer a slim and updated silhouette you can get the most sophisticated pieces. I got my boyfriend a pair of Beatle boots, sleek in nature. Recently he sported it at a party and received several compliments for his footwear!
You like to cool and hip? Why not opt for an ultra modern wingtip? You can eschew the holes altogether, instead get the burnishing and stitching effect of the leather! Trust me the trendy feel will provide the perfect look!
The solid construction and durability of the style beats any other. The heft of the conventional long wing boasts of the long wing going all the way to the heal seam instead of stopping and getting tapered down at the out sole. Frankly the sturdiness of a shoe is most essential!
Do not forget that there is a large range of designs and materials that you can get where wingtips brogues are concerned. Ranging from leather to suede, the variety is immense. Grab what you like best!

Fox's $80 Billion Offer for Time Warner Rebuffed, NYT Says
July 16 (Bloomberg) -- Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox Inc. made an $80 billion takeover bid in recent weeks for Time Warner Inc. that was rebuffed, the New York Times reported, citing people briefed on the matter whom it didn't identify.
Time Warner shares rose 13 percent to $80.40 in early New York trading. As part of the proposal, Fox indicated that it would sell CNN to ward off potential antitrust concerns since Fox News competes directly with CNN, New York Times said. Putting CNN on sale would probably lead to a bidding war for the news channel as CBS and ABC, a unit of the Walt Disney Co., have long been seen as interested suitors, the newspaper said.
Fox first approached Time Warner in early June, New York Times reported. Chase Carey, the president of Fox and a longtime top lieutenant to Murdoch, met privately with Time Warner's chief executive officer, Jeff Bewkes, the newspaper said. Later that month, Fox delivered a formal takeover proposal worth $85 in stock and cash for each Time Warner share.
Nathaniel Brown, a Fox spokesman in New York, declined to comment on the report when reached by Bloomberg News.

NVIDIA has always been a forward-thinking company, and that was never more apparent than during today's keynote at the GPU Technology Conference in San Jose. CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was visibly anxious to unveil the company's Volta, their upcoming GPU targeted for a 2016 release.
"Volta is going to solve one of the biggest challenges facing GPUs today, which is access to memory bandwidth. We never seem to have enough!" Huang told the attendees. "This is unbelievable stuff."
Unbelievable indeed. The Volta GPU will introduce stacked DRAM (dynamic random access memory). On a technical level, this is accomplished by having multiple layers of DRAM stacked atop each other on the same silica substrate, then drilling a hole through the silicon and connecting each layer.
But what does this mean in layman's terms for graphic artists, video editors, animators and gaming enthusiasts? 1 terabyte per second of memory bandwidth.
1TB/s of memory bandwidth means you could move the contents of a jam-packed Blu-ray disc through the chip in a mere 1/50th of a second. Consider that NVIDIA's Titan GPU — its latest high-end graphics card — can handle about 288GB/s, and you can only imagine the positive implications for a wide range of people depending on graphics processing horsepower, from game developers to graphic artists.
Obviously it's too soon to expect a price tag or firm release date, but NVIDIA's GPU roadmap looks exciting.
Stay tuned for more coverage from NVIDIA's GPU Technology conference. I'll also be uploading video of the entire keynote speech later this evening.

Maple Valley, Wash.
Tahoma High School
BOISE, Idaho - Boise State women's soccer head coach Steve Lucas announced, Thursday, Cassidy Richmond of Maple Valley, Wash., signed a letter of intent to join the Broncos. Richmond was a senior forward at Tahoma High School last fall.
"Cassidy has speed and can score goals," Lucas said. "She has played on competitive clubs so she will be used to competing. We are excited about her joining us up front with her athleticism and the speed that she brings."
Richmond was a four-year starter for Tahoma under head coach Jason Johnson. She helped the Bears to a second-place finish in 2010 as a junior and a third-place finish in 2011. The Bronco commit was a two time South Puget Sound League honoree during her final two interscholastic seasons.
In addition to playing soccer, Richmond was a four-year letterwinner in track, winning a state title in the 4x100 relay in 2010. She was captain of both the soccer and track team her senior season.
"I chose Boise State because I love the fact that it has a balance of a spirited college town, competitive athletics, and a wide range of courses offered at the university."

Microsoft: XML patent moves are no big deal

Patent fight shadows Microsoft lawsuitOctober 15, 2003
Patent politicsSeptember 25, 2003
As previously reported, Microsoft has filed applications for numerous XML-related patents in the United States, Europe and New Zealand. The patents deal with the way its Office software processes XML, the fast-growing standard for exchanging data among disparate computing systems.
XML-based capabilities have been one of the main selling points for Office 2003, the recently released version of Microsoft's market-leading productivity package. By saving documents as XML files, Office allows back-end computing systems, such as corporate databases, to retrieve and reuse data from those documents. XML support also allows Office to become a client for viewing and manipulating data from Web services and from complex enterprise applications such as customer relationship management (CRM) software.
Analysts said some of the proposed patents could prevent competing applications from opening XML files created in Office. "This is a direct challenge to software vendors who want to interoperate with Word through XML," according to Rob Helm, of research firm Directions on Microsoft. "For example, if Corel wanted to improve WordPerfect's support of Word by adopting its XML format...for import/export, they'd probably have to license this patent."
Microsoft spokesman Mark Martin said the company couldn't comment on how the patents, if granted, might be applied or licensed. But he said such applications are standard moves for the company to protect its innovations and don't affect its commitment to openly sharing the XML schemas used by Office.
"While the XML standard itself is royalty-free, nothing precludes a company from seeking patent protection for a specific software implementation that incorporates elements of XML," Martin said. "The presence of this patent application...does nothing to change the commitment Microsoft made this past November when it announced the available of a royalty-free licensing program for our Office 2003 XML reference schemas."
Martin added that numerous technology companies have sought XML-related patents. A search of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office shows hundreds of applications for patents related to the processing of XML code. "This is an industry-standard means of differentiation followed by other major companies," Martin said.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Money Vista
When the blurb for this site asked if I was one of those people who looks after their financial arrangements using "lists and spreadsheets", I must confess, the world "yes" didn't really spring to mind.
My financial management consists of a pile of bank statements dating back to 2002, which acts as a handy rest for empty coffee cups, loose change and various other bits and pieces of the typical ephemera of modern life.
The first I know about running out of money is when I'm politely refused by an ATM.
So anything that lets me get a handle on my financial affairs has got to be worth a look, and www.moneyvista.com seems to be one place to start.
For a small monthly fee, you get access to a range of tools, guides and useful advice, which you can use to devise a proper financial plan charting every step on the way to your retirement.
Not for everybody, but if, like me, you have a severe allergy to Excel, this might be worth a look.
If you have a website that you want to tell us about email us via the feedback form.
