Oven Floor Not as Hot as it Used to Get
I'm a long time owner of my Forno Bravo Casa90 as you can see one of my original pizza photos here in an old post from 2006:
http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/10/h...our-864-2.html (how to make a pizza with Caputo flour)
I've had this wet oven problem since I've assembled the oven back almost 10 years ago with moisture getting in the oven. After trying all sorts of sealants on the outside nothing seems to work except fully covering the oven with a tarp and even then it gets wet somehow?!? I posted about it here in 2006: http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f16/...-wet-1226.html (Oh no - my oven is wet)
After years of just dealing with it - by drying out the oven for a few days prior to use via a space heater I now have an oven where the floor of the oven doesn't seem to be as hot as it used to get. I have a temperature gun and although it shows a range of 800 down to 600 from the coals moving towards the edge (after I push the coals away) I remember years ago the floor would be even hotter. The problem is that I can tell with the pizza. The top of the pizza cooks in 2-3 minutes to a nice burn but the pizza is never cooked from the bottom and I no longer get those nice black spots on the bottom as you would expect. When I say never cooked from the bottom it cooks somewhat but as a pizza maker you can easily tell that the pizza is pretty much ONLY cooked from the top.
In talking with others I have decided to try and dry out the oven fully this weekend. Today I had the oven white with a constant fire for probably 10 hours (after keeping it dry and some smaller fires for a few weeks) and then at the end cooked some pizza. Unfortunately it had the same results. The one thing I did notice (since I was looking around) is that under the cooking surface where it's the bottom of the concrete I assembled years ago (i.e., at the top the location where the wood is stored) it was hot - very hot where I couldn't keep my hand touching it. To me that tells me that heat is escaping from the bottom. Now I don't remember exactly the instructions on assembly from back then but it was mixing cement with vermiculite and I probably have the recommended number of inches under the oven floor - I found this set: http://fornobravo.co.uk/manuals/casa_uk_install.pdf
So my questions are:
1) should the underneath be so hot?
2) if not then what can I do without ripping the oven apart and redoing the base? Can I buy some sort of insulation to put under the oven floor (i.e., top of the wood storage?)
3) if it does get that hot then why is my oven floor not getting as hot as I'd like? Do I need to dry it out more? How long?
Thank you in advance for reading and helping me.
Re: Oven Floor Not as Hot as it Used to Get
As you have been following the manufacturers plans and instructions then your question should really be referred to them. I believe that the most likely cause of your problem is that you probably still have water in your vermicrete layer and that is causing its inability to insulate properly. I did conduct an experiment (attached) on the drying of a vermicrete slab that demonstrates the importance of drying it out before building over it. There is a large amount of free water that is not used up in the hydration process when the vermicrete hardens. This has to be removed. If this is the problem the remedy is to continue to fire the oven until all the water has been purged.It is too late now to replace the insulation between the floor and the supporting slab. As your oven is 10 years old it sounds like water is re-entering after you've dried it. Perhaps water is wicking up through the stand. Check to make sure no sprinklers are watering it regularly.

Re: Oven Floor Not as Hot as it Used to Get
It sounds like you have diagnosed your problem, as it seems like the heat is escaping through the floor. Additional insulation would keep the heat in.
I am no expert, I lurk a lot and plan to start an oven, but I only can offer my uneducated guess.
Re: Oven Floor Not as Hot as it Used to Get
David S, I believe I dried it out initially since my oven was working properly for years. I do believe (well I know) that somehow water has been getting into the oven most likely from below (coming up from the slab) or from the entry where my landing is not leveled correctly and the water is just coming in. In either case I'm sure I still have water in the vermiculite portion and I will continue to try and dry it out with fires.
In addition I was reading lots yesterday on the forum and I've been thinking about either:
1) drilling holes in the bottom to let it drain - although I can't see this really working or
2) adding more insulation underneath - I've read about SuperIsol (Cal-Sil) but have no experience with that or even knowing where to buy some....and not sure if that's my solution either.
Re: Oven Floor Not as Hot as it Used to Get
Since the problem has developed over time there is usually a reason and like a car that doesn't run well and you find one problem you just keep looking cause there is usually 3!
Cracks in the dome render, particularly at the base. Even if they are only hairline they will wick water in. Possibly chase them larger and squeeze in some paintable silastic and a full coat flexible paint designed for the purpose.
Cracks around the steel chimney and render due to uneven expantion. Chase out and high temp sealer possibly an automotive product .
The hearth floor and entrance floor. If any rain falls on this its a short pathway to the hearth insulation. I've made an external weather door to prevent this, and have found it this to be my major problem area.
In saying all this I have long ago excepted that from time to time my oven will not be perfectly dry even the inside surfaces will draw moisture from the air. A few low heat fires will bring things back to balance. And any fire I usually find something to cook anyway
Hope something helps

Re: Oven Floor Not as Hot as it Used to Get
Ok this information may be useful for others who are in the same situation.
By lighting fires for 2 whole days (I did it one week apart) that seemed to do the trick.
After doing that I was able to get a nice burn on the bottom of the pizza (see image - although the following week it was even nicer).
The time after that I was able to get the floor of the oven even hotter. i.e.,
assuming I had the wood on the right, the middle of the oven floor was 850 - 975 degrees and the left side was 750-850. This temp worked very well for my pizza which I was able to cook between 90 seconds and 2.5 minutes.
I still have an issue of a wet oven which I believe is mostly likely due to two main issues:
1) water coming up from the footings. I don't know how to stop this. Maybe drill holes in the way bottom of the oven stand??
2) water coming in from the entry point of the oven. I now cover the whole front part of the oven so no water can come in.
Also I make sure I use lots of wood to heat up the oven and fully wait for the entire inside dome (and I mean entire) gets white.

Retro Look: Super Metroid
By TwoLines 6 Comments
Retro look is something I thought of not long ago- maybe it was boredom, or maybe the fact that so many people praised old games that I've never played before.
I don't know. What I do know is that these games changed the gaming history- revolutionized the genre, were ahead of their time, and so on.
The superlatives never end. Best, greatest, prettiest. Well I'm here to test them out- without nostalgic feelings or bias. So let's jump into my first choice, Super Metroid for the SNES.
Metroid is a franchise that started in the early days of Nintendo Entertainment System. Metroid on NES (which I'm also going to play) was an amazing game- it's open ended level structure was unlike anything else on the console.
It didn't have the fancy-pants Zelda save system- but it did "save" us from frustration of starting all over by using a password system.
"Us" as in "You", I never saw a metroid cartridge in my life (although I did play NES as a child).
Then came the Gameboy version, it established Samus' look and from what I've heard, it's also a great game worth checking out.
Finaly metroid appeared on SNES. Super Metroid (not enough "Super " games on the SNES- let me tell ya..) came out in 1994.
It was established as the best metroid game ever- it created speed runs and transformed Samus into one of Nintendo "mascots"- right next to Link and Mario.
So lets play the game I like to call- "how long can you play without looking at a FAQ?".
Here's what I call a "BALLLS" moment.
The "Wall Jump" was the first thing that got me stuck so badly- I had to look for a YouTube video instructing me on the matter.
Here's how it goes. You're exploring the map, looking for a way to progress through the game by using collectied power ups.
You stumble upon a suspiciously unprotected power up. "Well.. this doesn't happen everyday. Oh joy." You run up to take it and..
"What the hell? Ghost floor? You've got to be kidding me! Well whatever. There's a save point- I'll save and get back up there somehow.."
You save and move on only to discover.. it's a dead end. With some little picolo-moguai monsters jumpng from wall to wall. Etacoons or some shit, I don't know.
Let me tell you- I've spend two hours looking for another exit- in what was a save point, a corridor, and this dead end room.
You had to learn the "Wall Jump"- which, I can honestly say, ain't as easy as it looks. Another half an hour passes- I'm finaly out of that hell hole.
Old games are much much harder than what I remember them to be.
The rest of the game ran smoothly. It was basicaly the same thing over and over again. You search for a place that you can access, you expolre it, find a power up,
head back, and look for a place that you can access with your new ability. Standard metroidvania gameplay, pretty straightforward but enjoyable.
The graphics are really nice, there are several different enviroments- like a fire/lava enviroment, water enviroment, crashed space ship and so on.
The music is terrific. It's just out of this world, it's a big part of the atmosp..
I'm stuck again! For fuck's sake! Can't a man enjoy this game without looking for hints? Care to guess where?
You have to break this tube with a power bomb. Really cool.. but fucking insane, how was I suppose to figure it out?!
There was a time when people had waaay too much time on their hands. Or were children. Same thing.
Where was I?
Oh yes- the music's awesome. And the last "dungeon" is really memorable, you don't fight many enemies, but the scripted battles are really something.
Too late for a spoiler alert? The game's been out for 10+ years so I guess there's no sense in doing that. You fight a giant metroid that sucks your life juices,
but stops before you die. What the hell? Apparently this metroid's Samus's.. baby.. something. Should've played the previous games in the franchise I guess.
Anyhoo- it doesn't want to kill you, then helps you at the Samus vs Mother Brain cat fight. The game has a great ending with the whole planet blowing.. up..
So.. Why? Why would anyone do that ? Why killing the mother brain makes the planet blow up? Didn't the space pirates think this through?
Or was this Mother Brain's doing? I bet it was her- that damn cyclops bitch..
Well the game ends, and if you finnished it really fast you get to see Samus in a bikini. Right. Because when for a change the main protagonist is a woman
you have to make her wear a bikini. That's your reward. For completing the game really really fast. *sigh*. Well that aside- I had a blast with this game.
It lasts for about 9 hours (first playthrough) and it's insanely addictive. The story is really weak, evil jellyfish used as a wapon, typical B movie Sci-Fi bullshit.
That's what we get? I guess that's not what one wants from Metroid. Gameplay is the core of this game, and I can understand why, even now it's suprisingly pleasant to play it.
So there you go- to anyone that didn't play this yet- I'm pleased to say it's worth it. Two thumbs up, and onto my next game..
Legend of Zelda the Ocarina of Time for the N64.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported a few minutes ago that Ramiro Pena is hopping on a plane and is en route to Seattle for today's 3:40 PM EST start to replace the injured Alex Rodriguez on the Yankees roster. According to Sherman, the team had to get a body out to the west coast as quickly as possible, and Pena's versatility will allow him to help not only in the infield, but also the outfield, where Nick Swisher is still out with a hip injury.
In 80 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, Pena is hitting .249 with a home run and 22 RBI. The light-hitting shortstop has a .302 on-base percentage. Pena has heated up of late, as he is 13-for-39 over his last ten games.
Nothing definite, but it is my guess that the Yankees will reassess their third base situation when they return home for a three game set with the Boston Red Sox on Friday. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see either Brandon Laird, who has caught fire of late, or Russell Branyan, who has been unstoppable with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, in pinstripes by the weekend.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Justin Lehr is not going to start the AAA AS game this season.

Lehr 1.0 4 3 3 0 1 0 6.59

Back to back hits for Frazier & Castillo.

Lehr with a 2-run double. :D
All with 2-out.

You'd have to think that Lehr is pitching start to start now. Klinker should be in AAA within a month at most.
Gotta go
Bats down 5-3 in the 4th
Mesoraco 4 for 4 tonight, Soto 2 for 5.
Anyone want to claim Mesoraco as the #2 prospect in the org. yet?
pretty amazing turn around considering BA gave him nothing more than a sympathy nod at #30 last year. Dude's mashing.
Carolina just went up 8-3 in the top of the 10th. 3 run homer by Sappelt the latest blow.
Don't forget that Mesoraco was ready to move up a level defensively, but they kept him down here so that he could experience some positive long-term Offensive timing with his bat. He was ahead of his level physically, so it's not unexpected that he'd have this success. The REDS were expecting good Offense from him (though probably closer to an .820-.840 OPS), but Mesoraco's even done better than that.
He's not the #2 prospect at this time by any means. He's still got to go through the entire AA level from beginning to end both defensively (as a Catcher, the toughest level for a Catcher) and Offensively.
It's kind of a given that Mesoraco is going to be a hitter. With him, it's all about which position will he play.
I assume the REDS would like to let him keep his timing together through the end of June before moving him up to AA. That's how I would do it. He's had too little time this year under "good Offensive conditions" for it to stay with him to the next level. He needs more time where he's at so that the confidence Offensively can be rooted in him.

I'd actually like to see the tire look like new closeup on the bike (as in what they look like when i buy a brand new pair and mount them), not worn out tires. Showing how they wear over time is useful, however.
Thankyou for the info!
...i would still like to hear about some of your construction techniques and materials used in the tires???
Please try and sell me a bit on why i SHOULD pay top $ for a Mitas vrs just saying try all 3 and get back to me. Seems both you & your US distributor have the same easy going attitude on getting these tires out to the US biker. What does comparing 2 cars have anything to do with this conversation?
Is that Iowa factory going to produce motorcycle tires or just your farm stuff? Are you implying there will be much better motorcycle supply after this factory is online?
Really man, i'm trying to help you out, but...

Good conversation is awesome, especially if it's on a wide range of issues. Christmas, and Easter are my favorite seasons of the year, with fall being a close second. I'm an old school romantic, who thinks that a man should be chivalrous and knightly, especially if he's around a woman he finds intensely physically attractive. There, more than at any time, is he tempted to act in conduct unbecoming a man of honor. Men were born to protect, honor, love, and cherish women, not list after them and prey on them the way the hook up culture teaches them to. I'm 28 and feeling the biological clock tick, so to speak. So am looking for friendship with an eye towards long term dating and marriage. Definitely looking for a Christian woman who is open to having kids. Am very conservative politically speaking. Staunchly pro life, pro traditional marriage, pro Christian engagement with politics and culture.

I enjoy cats, and dogs of all sizes. There is a part of me that is interested in having goats or maybe a falcon, but I know such animals (especially the falcon) have very special needs. Falconry would be a good thing to get into, though.
Too many to list.

Books (especially history and scii-fi.), any Christian music, country music, heavy metal, Irish and Scottish music, Folk music, hard rock, rock and roll, coffee, pizza, and talking about the Lord, collecting and practicing with swords.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Ty Lawson had 21 points and 10 assists, Danilo Gallinari scored 20 points and hit a big 3-pointer with 13.8 seconds left, and the Denver Nuggets beat the struggling Los Angeles Lakers 112-105 Sunday night for their fifth win in seven games. JaVale McGee scored 17 points for the Nuggets, who showed no signs of weariness after a home win over Utah one night earlier. Despite two last-minute 3-pointers by Kobe Bryant, Denver maintained a lead throughout the fourth quarter of its second win in 12 days over the Lakers. Bryant scored 29 points and Dwight Howard had 14 points and a career high-tying 26 rebounds for the Lakers, who have lost three straight and four of five.

Ok. Topiary furniture is just WAY too cool. When I get a lawn, I'm so doing that. Except, I'm going to side mine with some bamboo fencing, so it'll blend with the Tiki patio.

NBA Rumor Round Up For Tuesday, July 7:
Amar'e Stoudemire: As the 7th day of free agency begins, Stoudemire has yet to finalize a new deal. He is linked with the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns and his current team, the Dallas Mavericks. Regarding Stoudemire, Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's John Gambadoro tweeted Monday: "Stoudemire could be a possibility as a backup power forward (for the Suns) but word out of Dallas is he struggled with reduced playing time." The Clippers are desperate for size after losing DeAndre Jordan to Dallas, so they might be the best spot for Stoudemire.
Milwaukee Bucks: On Monday, head coach Jason Kidd denied a report that he is planning to assume the role as head of basketball operations this week, with John Hammond losing that position. "I think sometimes sources can be wrong, media can be wrong, coaches can be wrong," Kidd told the Journal Sentinel. "With this report that came out yesterday, it was totally wrong. Hammond has been in the league I think a little bit longer than I have, so this is another source for me to learn. This is a great opportunity for me to be the best coach I can be, being surrounded with Hammond and his staff." Hammond's contract is set to expire in 2016 and while his future is uncertain, the ownership group also refuted the report as "unequivocally not true."
Manu Ginobili: According to Shams Charania of RealGM.com, the Spurs and Ginobili have agreed to a two-year, $5.7 million contract. 2016-17 is a player option.
Kevin Garnett: There has been no doubt that Garnett will come back for his 21st NBA season and that has been confirmed by a Darren Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com: "Quote from KG sent to me: 'I'm incredibly excited and rejuvenated to be a part of this talented, committed team.' #twolves." Garnett may sign his new deal on Thursday.
Kristaps Porzingis: The New York Knicks took the Latvian with the No. 4 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft and many followers of the team are looking to see what he can do in Las Vegas, but he may not play, according to the New York Post. Porzingis is currently dealing with a hip issue.
Mo Williams: The Cleveland Cavaliers now have an upgrade at the backup point guard position after they agreed to terms with Williams. His deal will pay him $4.3 million over two years, if he exercises his player option for 2016-17, according to ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst. The Cavs will use the Taxpayer Mind-Level Exception to sign Williams.
Leandro Barbosa: The Golden State Warriors will bring back most of the 2014-15 roster and Monday night came with news from Ramona Shelburne of ESPNLosAngeles.com that Barbosa has agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. The Warriors will sign Barbosa using the Taxpayer Mind-Level Exception.
Julius Randle: The Los Angeles Lakers forward did well in his first practice with the Las Vegas Summer League on Monday, per Baxter Holmes ESPNLosAngeles.com. Randle is in great shape after rehabbing his broken leg over the last eight months and he should see action during the games in Las Vegas.
Alexey Shved: The New York Knicks want to bring back Alexey Shved and they may offer the guard their entire "Room" exception worth $2,814 million, according to the New York Post. While the Knicks consider options for the exception, Shved will do the same as his agent will talk to other teams in the NBA and Europe.
Boston Celtics: Forward Colton Iverson, No. 53 pick in 2013, faced long odds to make the Celtics next season, so he has left the Summer League team to look at options overseas, according to ESPNBoston.com.

Discovery in mice could offer clues to effects of aging, experts say
THURSDAY, March 19 (HealthDay News) -- A compound that plays an important role in coordinating people's circadian clocks and metabolism has been identified by U.S. researchers.
The circadian clock governs daily cycles of feeding, activity and sleep.
Researchers from Northwestern University and the Washington University School of Medicine said their finding of a connection between the circadian clock and metabolism in animals could improve understanding of circadian disruptions that often affect elderly people.
The team also said the compound they identified might offer a new drug target to treat metabolic disorders related to circadian disruption caused by shift work, obesity or diabetes.
The study of laboratory mice showed that circadian clock genes strongly regulate the production of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which regulates the activity of an enzyme called SIRT1, an important regulator of aging, metabolism and longevity.
The discovery that NAD and SIRT1 function together as a molecular "switch" to coordinate the circadian clock with metabolic systems should increase understanding of how aging, metabolism and the circadian clock are interconnected, the researchers said.
"This is one of the sought-after links that couples changes with the cellular environment and nutrient state with changes in the internal clock," Dr. Joe Bass, an assistant professor of medicine, neurobiology and physiology at Northwestern and a co-senior author of the study, said in a university news release.
Bass and his colleagues also found that NAD levels vary according to an animal's internal clock -- the first evidence of a "metabolic oscillator," an oscillator that isn't part of the core circadian clock machinery.
The study was published online March 19 in Science.
"NAD is an essential n

So I have been high risk for the mass majority of my pregnancy due to my EXTREMELY low weight gain.. but! I have gained 5 pounds this month (: but I do believe that it is more in my boobs than in my tummy area. Where is the majority of your weight going?
Where is your weight gain?
It's all belly. I know my breasts are getting bigger b/c I need new bras for the second time in this pregnancy, but I'd say it's pretty much all in the belly.

Belly...though hubby says that it's gone to the boobs as well. I disagree because I haven't needed new bras AT ALL, but then again I don't wear a bra 9/10ths of the time because I'm just lounging around the house and they are uncomfortable >_<
I think if my weight gain was normal my boobs would be too much to handle... A little has gone to the belly but I only think that is because baby is growing so much.. I can't grab handfuls of "fat" anymore. but I am ready to have my body back kind of. so I can feel skinny again (:
boobs, butt, belly. A little bit on my thighs as well.

Re: Tour guide/ Car rental
Don't come. Or if you do, don't drive. Many drivers are horrible, driving like complete selfish idiots, as if the roads are their own personal playground. I hate this place.
But what do you expect of a country where people think it's normal to have a baby via major abdominal surgery? I fear for the U.S. as the c-section rate there continues to climb, too. People born via violence are going to think violence is normal.

We found ourselves at the bottom of a hill watching a number of other riders trying to reach the top. They could only get about half way up before bogging down. We thought it would be interesting to give the Sportster a try.
We hit the bottom of the hill at about 30 miles an hour, in third gear, and never had to shift down once. At about three-fourths of the way up we passed one poor soul trying to bulldog his motorcycle around. The expression on his face as we rocketed by was one of disbelief. If the Sportster's rear wheel hit a soft spot, you merely rolled the throttle off a bit until traction was regained and then the wick could be turned back up again. It was incredibly simple.
Of course we do not intend for a moment to mislead our readers into thinking the Sportster is a trail bike. The forks and rear shocks are not even remotely adequate for this kind of pounding. Both front and rear suspension units would top out repeatedly. At one point when the going really got rough, the metal to metal crashing sounded as though the forks were ready to fall off the machine. But they didn't, and some how or other the machine did get to the top unscathed.

Dark Blue Capiz Windchime by Woodstock Chimes
These shades and shapes of the night create soft, soothing music.
Capiz are farmed in Indonesia and every bit is used. The pieces are carefully sorted, dried, sliced, shaped, sanded and dyed. Strung together with strong, invisible, nylon cord, the thin, flat translucent pieces provide luminous color.
In the 1500s, capiz were used as windowpanes in houses; now they are used in all sorts of home decorations, including lamp shades and vases and (of course) windchimes! This wonderful capiz chime was hand-crafted with pride by craftsmen of Bali.
Dimensions: 19" Overall Length
Materials: Arched rattan top, 2-inch deep blue capiz (24 round), coconut star and moon accents.

By: Associated Press
New York's homeland security agency is refusing requests from freight railroads to further restrict public information about their crude oil shipments, concluding it's not sensitive security information and will be given to local emergency planners.
Federal officials reached a similar conclusion in June, ordering railroads to give state officials details about oil-train routes and volumes so emergency responders can better prepare.
Railroads sought to keep the information secret following a string of fiery accidents. A derailment and explosion in Quebec last July killed 47 people.
Jerome Hauer, Homeland Security and Emergency Services commissioner, tells CSX Transportation and Canadian Pacific Railway that New York won't adopt special non-disclosure agreements.
He says public disclosures must be through the state's Freedom of Information Law. The Associated Press and eight environmental groups have already filed requests for the information.

Does this battery work for my early 2011 macbook pro: MC700LL/A ?
My battery quit working 100% and shuts off when I pull out the power cord. Im looking for a new battery to replace the bad one i have.
- Asked by Zac H from Chanhassen
QA Rechargeable Battery MacBook (Aluminum)
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
No. The newer MacBooks and MacBook Pros don't have user-replaceable batteries. You'll need to bring your computer in to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or better yet the Genius Bar at an Apple Store if you live close to one, to have them replace the battery in your computer.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Bucks coach Jim Boylan was hardly in the mood to celebrate even though his team came back from a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
Bucks beat Magic 115-109 behind big 4th from Ellis
Monta Ellis scored a season-high 39 points, including 25 in the fourth quarter, and Milwaukee rallied for a 115-109 over the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
Losers of three consecutive games coming into the matchup with the Magic, who own the second-worst record in the NBA, the Bucks trailed most of the way before Ellis took over in the fourth. He connected on all five of his 3-point attempts in the period, and his 25 points were the most by an NBA player in one quarter this season.
"Monta was pretty amazing there in the fourth quarter. I'm happy that we won the game, but I am really concerned with the way we are playing right now," Boylan said. "It's not good enough. We need to play better. Right now we are not a very good team. You can't rely on scoring 45 points in the fourth quarter in order to pull a game out at home."
The Bucks, who hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, are looking to improve their position heading into the season's final stretch.
"First of all, we are not in the playoffs," Boylan said. "If you play a casual kind of game without the intensity that is necessary to win, then you are going to lose. We need to turn it up and we need to be a serious team. Right now we are not playing like a serious team."
Boylan was especially critical of his team's effort on defense.
"The defensive end is where the problems are — period," he said. "We don't play any defense. We are not committed to it. We were very, very lucky to win this game."
Ellis' fourth-quarter scoring spree included a fast-break dunk off a slick pass from backcourt mate Brandon Jennings.
"It was just one of them days where you feel it and the crowd got into it," Ellis said. "My teammates had faith in me to give me the ball at the time and I was able to knock the shots down. I didn't think about it. I just shot the ball."
The Bucks ended the game on a 30-12 run, handing the Magic their eighth loss in 10 games.
The Magic were up 97-85 midway through the final quarter, but back-to-back 3s by Ellis cut the lead to six points. The dunk by Ellis later in the quarter brought the Bucks to 101-99.
Orlando's Arron Afflalo connected on a 3 to make it 104-99 before Ellis made another 3-pointer to again slice the lead to two. The teams exchanged baskets until an Orlando missed shot led to Ersan Ilyasova's layup at the other end off an assist from Jennings to tie it at 108.
Magic rookie Mo Harkless made one of two free throws to put Orlando ahead 109-108 with 1:08 remaining.
On the ensuing possession, Larry Sanders made a hook shot to put the Bucks in front 110-109. Jameer Nelson missed a shot and Ellis sank his fifth 3 of the quarter to put the Bucks up 113-109 with 13 seconds remaining.

No. 5,980,267, issued Nov. 9, 1999 by Ayers, et al. and entitled "CONNECTOR SCHEME FOR A POWER POD DELIVERY SYSTEM".
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a power distribution architecture and to such architecture where the power converter, or voltage regulation module (VRM), is mounted adjacent to a heatsink which cools an electronic device (such as a microprocessor) and where the VRM is interconnected electrically to the device package itself either directly or indirectly.
2. Description of the Related Art
High performance electronics today are demanding higher performance and lower cost power delivery than in previous years. As an example, high performance microprocessors are forcing power converters to supply voltages at 1V and below and deliver power over 100W. This translates to delivered currents in excess of 100 amps. Moreover, the small space allocated on mother boards and other printed circuit boards, along with the thermal considerations at the system level, require the voltage regulators to be highly efficient, have low noise, have low interconnect paths, and maintain very small form factors. This trend is creating new problems and challenges in power conversion technology and in packaging architectures for the VRM and microprocessors.
Today, there are numerous methods by which power is delivered to a high performance electronic device, such as a microprocessor. Typically, the power has been brought through the main board or mother board of the system, through the device socket and then into the microprocessor itself. Though this has been effective for many generations of microprocessors and high performance electronic devices it has its drawbacks. The voltage regulator components typically take up much real-estate on the mother board. Due to routing constraints the power is typically bused through only one side of the device and through a limited number of power/ground plane pairs. This results in not only a high DC resistance path but also a relatively high inductive path which increases AC and DC losses and can disrupt power delivery to the device itself.
Other approaches have removed this burden of busing power through the mother board by bringing power to one side of the substrate through an edge-card type connection or powerpod interconnect. This architecture bypasses the mother board and supplies power directly into the side of the substrate or interposer of the device. However, this approach is relatively expensive due to the complexity of the substrate design and the power module mechanical construction.
Another approach has been to bring power directly to the surface of the microprocessor through a z-axis power delivery approach. In this architecture, power is integrated with the thermal solution and is directly attached to the device package through a disconnectable interconnect. However, the VRM is oriented horizontal and is located above and over the device package. The power interconnection is made to the device package substrate surface on one or more sides. Thus, this architecture is somewhat integrated with the thermal solution of the device package. Though this may be desirable in many cases, in some designs where one wishes to disconnect the VRM without disrupting the thermal solution to the device package, an alternative approach is needed.
To address the requirements described above, and other needs, the present invention relates to a methods and an assemblies which provide a VRM board for a processor carrier.
In one aspect of the invention a VRM board is mounted at substantially a right angle to a processor carrier.
One aspect of the invention relates to an assembly including a mother board. A processor carrier is mounted to the mother board and a processor is mounted on the processor carrier. A heat sink is thermally coupled to the processor and is located adjacent to the top surface of the processor. A circuit board with a power conditioning circuit is mounted at substantially a right angle to the mother board and adjacent to the heat sink. An interconnect assembly provides an electrical path between electrical contacts of the processor carrier and the circuit board.
In one aspect of the invention an interconnect assembly provides a releasable connection for the processor carrier and/or the VRM board.
In another aspect of the invention a method includes mounting a processor carrier having a processor on a mother board. A heat sink is thermally coupled to the processor and is located over the processor. A VRM board is electrically coupled to the processor carrier and mounted so that the plane of VRM board is substantially orthogonal to the plane of the mother board.
The foregoing and aspects and other advantages of the invention will be apparent to those who are skilled in the art upon reviewing the detailed description in conjunction with the included drawings.
Referring now to the drawings in which like reference numbers represent corresponding parts throughout:
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and which is shown, by way of illustration, several embodiments of the present invention. It is understood that other embodiments may be utilized and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Referring to
The interposer 114, and substrate 152 can collectively be referred to as a processor carrier. The term processor carrier also encompasses other arrangements used to couple a processor to a main board or mother board. For example, processor carriers include an organic land grid array (OLGA) with an interposer. Additionally, multiple processors and other devices can be packaged on the same interposer. Each of the assemblies described herein can be implemented with these various processor carriers.
One method to construct the assembly 100 is as follows. A processor 156 and its associated interposer board 114 can be inserted into the socket 112. The heatsink 102 is then thermally coupled to the processor 156. The heatsink 102 is also mechanically coupled to the interposer 114 and/or the main board 116. The mechanical connection can be made with fastener, clamps or other suitable arrangements. The edge connector 110 is then connected to the appropriate end of the interposer 114. The VRM subassembly is then attached to the heat dissipating device 102, for example, a heatsink or vapor chamber.
The advantages of orienting the VRM board in a right-angle fashion (with regard to the mother board) and adjacent to the heatsink are that the voltage regulator (VR) components, its interconnects, and thermal management are lifted off of the main board. This results in less real-estate being taken up by the VRM which is an advantage over typical VRM designs as well as voltage regulators which have components mounted onto the main board itself.
Of course, in all of the embodiments described herein, the orientation of the VRM board can be substantially at a right angle to the main board. Substantially at a right angle means that the orientation of the VRM board is within a reasonable variance from a right angle without significantly impacting use of the mother board. Alternatively, the VRM board can be oriented at other angles including in the ranges of 70�-80�, 60�-70�, 50�-60�and 40�-50�. These orientations can be achieved through the interconnect assembly or through the connection mechanism which couples the VRM board to the heat sink, the processor carrier or the mother board. Additionally, the VRM board can be mounted so that its plane is not parallel to the plane of the main board.
The second advantage is that the VR may now be placed in the same air-flow path as the microprocessor or main electronic device which typically has superior air-flow and thermal management as compared to other components in the electronic system design. The orientation may also be made to be in parallel with the fin array of the heatsink which has a further advantage for cross-flow thermal arrangements where the air is plenumed in a direction parallel to the fin orientation. In other words, the VRM PCB acts as another fin and can take advantage of the air-flow given to that region. An additional benefit is that by locating the VRM close or onto the heatsink, the VRM can take advantage of some of the mechanical retention features already built in for the heatsink to device retention. This can further reduce the solution cost.
Referring now to
Section C from
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. It is intended that the scope of the invention be limited not by this detailed description, but rather by the claims appended hereto.

A man witnessed an armed robbery while on Skype with his girlfriend, Charleston police say.
Police on Monday arrested one of three suspects in connection with the incident, which police spokesman Charles Francis said happened at a Sumter Street home.
DeShawn Heyward, 20, of Chatman Avenue in Hanahan, was charged with three counts of first-degree assault and battery, first-degree burglary, four counts of kidnapping, simple possession of marijuana and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, Francis said.
A man told police he watched on Skype as a masked man walked into his girlfriend's bedroom with a silver pistol shortly after midnight.
Three masked men, armed with two pistols and a baseball bat, entered the home and robbed the residents of their money, cell phones, six laptops and other electronics, an incident report states.
The suspects attacked three of the residents, Francis said. Paramedics treated their injuries at the scene.
Police later arrested Heyward at Line Street and Rutledge Avenue.
The residents described the other two suspects as black men in their twenties, with a medium build and 5 feet, 10 inches tall.
Heyward is being held at the Charleston County jail.
Anyone with information can call Charleston Police at 577-7434 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.

This edited volume showcases approaches toward border management in Europe, Central America, and North America, and reflects on the challenges that countries in these regions face in managing their borders. The book brings together perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on what border security means in practice, the challenges that continue to evade policymakers, and what policies have been the most (and least) successful in achieving "secure" borders.
An examination of Canada's workforce development system and policies at a time of high unemployment among Canada's immigrants, this report covers why a growing number of policymakers think that the system may need reform. It also offers recommendations for more effective workforce development policies.
This report evaluates the participation of immigrants in the German workforce development system, highlighting that immigrants are less likely than nonimmigrants to engage in further education or skills training, detailing the various barriers immigrants face in accessing programs for skills development, and proposing policy reforms to reduce these barriers.
This statement outlines the guiding principles and recommendations of the ninth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which focused on how public and private-sector actors can make smart investments in underutilized workers, including immigrants. A key goal: how to maximize the potential of those with skills of all types, including the often-overlooked middle skills.
This policy brief reviews the challenges that face the EU-wide social security coordination system. It argues that while improving the fairness, clarity, and public support for this system are difficult, even small concessions from the European Commission could provide an opportunity to showcase the elements that do work.
This report profiles the population of Dual Language Learner children in the United States, who represent nearly one-third of all U.S. children under age 6, outlining school readiness and patterns of achievement. It evaluates the research on early care and education approaches that have been shown to support higher levels of language and literacy development for this population.
More than ever, human capital is seen as the ultimate resource. As a result, policymakers face the challenge of ensuring that workers have the skills and abilities to find productive employment and contribute to growth, innovation, and competitiveness in constantly evolving labor markets. Migrants' skills are often seen as an untapped resource that, with the right formula of policies, can bolster competitiveness and fuel productivity.
This report, the first in a series examining workforce development systems in three countries, focuses on the increasingly employer-led and flexible UK system that operates alongside centralized immigration and employment policies.
This policy brief, which concludes a nine-brief series examining what is known about the linkages between migration and development, suggests that the policy framework on migration and development remains relatively weak, and few development agencies have made it a priority to promote the positive impact of international migration.
Circular migration has typically been viewed with skepticism by migrant-rights advocates and wary publics alike. But many experts and policymakers in the migration field — and some in development — have come to recognize that well-managed circulation that is respectful of migrants' human and labor rights can bring benefits to countries of origin and destination, as well as to migrants themselves. For countries of origin, circular migration can relieve labor surpluses; for destination countries, it can provide the flexibility to quickly overcome skills shortages while adapting to long-term labor market shifts. For migrants, circular migration offers the opportunity to earn higher wages and gain international experience.

The Chicago Bears are seeking permission to interview the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell for their vacant head coaching position, according to a league source and Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times. According to league rules, assistant coaches for teams that won playoff games over the weekend can be interviewed this week, but teams have to grant permission, and the Bears must travel to Seattle to meet with Bevell. Looks like having your name attached to Russell Wilson is a good thing for Bevell this year. He was on no one's radar before, despite having been offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings from 2006-10, where he coached Brett Favre. Bevell is also a former Wisconsin Badger quarterback, just like Wilson. If they're granted permission, this will be the 4th candiate they've interviewed since letting Loivie Smith go. They've already interviewed Atlanta Falcons special teams coach Keith Armstrong,Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan, New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. and Dallas Cowboys special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});
