Flag of Zambia
|National flag
|24 October 1964
|Designed by
|Gabriel Ellison
The flag of Zambia, adopted on October 24, 1964, is green with an orange coloured hawk in flight over a rectangular block of three vertical stripes, coloured, from left to right: red, black and orange. The placement of the hawk and block of stripes at the flag's fly is notable as most emblems and devices on flags are placed at centre or at the hoist. The colours used in the flag of Zambia are rich in symbolism. Green stands for the nation's lush flora, red for the nation's struggle for freedom, black for the Zambian people, and orange for the land's natural resources and mineral wealth. Additionally, the hawk flying above the coloured stripes is intended to represent the people's ability to rise above the nation's problems.[1]
The Zambian flag was slightly modified in 1996. The shade of green used in the 1964 flag was replaced with a brighter and lighter green and the eagle was slightly altered so as to be more like the one used in the Zambian coat of arms.
|Flag of the President of Zambia
|Flag of the Zambia Police
|Zambia Air Force Ensign
|Zambian civil air ensign
Much of Zambia and the country's way of life is symbolized in the coat of arms. The black and white wavy bars in the shield represent the Victoria Falls while the hoe and pick above shield represent the labors of the people in agriculture and mining. As on the flag, the eagle represents the freedom of Zambia and its ability to rise above its problems.
The man and woman symbolize the Zambian family. The man is dressed in bush shirt and shorts, the clothes of a worker and the woman is in traditional dress. The maize cob, the mine shafthead and the zebra imposed on the national color (green), symbolize natural resources- -agriculture, minerals, game, and the land. The scroll carries the national motto--"One Zambia, One Nation".

25. The host system of
Multi-processor systems, such as servers and telecommunication (Telco) systems, for example, use input output (IO) subsystems to connect and communicate the host multi-processor system with external communicating units. Around 1992, the industry established an industry standards group, referred to as the Peripheral Component Interconnect—Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG), which was chartered with the development and management of a PCI bus specification as an industry standard for a high-performance IO interconnect to transfer data between one or more central processing units (CPUs) of the host system and the associated peripherals. Recently, the PCI-SIG introduced a successor to PCI called PCI Express (PCI-E) which is emerging as the industry standard IO subsystems interconnect technology for processor systems from small handheld computers, to desktops, small servers, and large SMP servers and mainframes.
The PCI-E standard includes the form factors, connectivity, signal level, and the like for enclosures and IO option cards. Examples of typical IO option cards include network interface cards, such as Ethernet, hard disk storage controller cards such as SCSI and SAS, cluster interconnect cards such as Infiniband™, and the like. One of the new PCI-E form factor technology standards is the PCI-E Server IO Modules (SIOMs). Generally, large SMP IO subsystems implementing the PCI-E SIOM standard are built using an IO motherboard configuration which comprises an enclosure or box having a motherboard and a plurality of module slots for accepting a plurality of SIOMs. Each SIOM includes a standardized connector for connecting electrically to a small "Riser board" and then to the motherboard. The motherboard includes etched conductive runs and one or more IO controller integrated circuits (ICs) containing a plurality of PCI-E Root Ports for interconnecting the SIOMs with the host multi-processor system. The IO enclosures are generally mounted in racks of a cabinet which also houses the multi-processor system and interconnecting IO interface wiring cables.
The PCI-E standard provides for Root Port IO controllers, generally in the form of integrated circuits or chips, to control the communication among the multi-processor system, the SIOMs and the external communicating units. Currently, these IO controller chips are fixedly disposed or integrated on the motherboard, rendering the motherboard active. Thus, while a standard enclosure allows for replaceable SIOMs, it does not permit easy replacement of the IO controller chips of the backplane motherboard for different applications. In addition, the IO operational or slot speeds and link widths are dedicated.
Multi-processor computer systems that may range from four central processing unit (CPU) enclosure types to sixty-four CPU mainframes generally use unique physical implementations of IO enclosures along with different active motherboards to meet the needs of the various applications. This becomes problematic because of the cost of manufacturing, upgrading, and maintaining the many different physical entities and models residing in the field at customer sites. In addition, to support future technology and slot speed upgrades, the entire IO subassembly including the active motherboard needs to be replaced. Moreover, the current IO enclosure implementations do not permit the option to use different cable technologies for the external interface interconnections to support future interconnect upgrades and performance options.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an enclosure for an input-output (IO) subsystem comprises: a backplane; a plurality of first slots for accepting corresponding IO option modules; a second slot for accepting an IO controller module; a plurality of first connectors corresponding to the plurality of first slots for connecting the corresponding IO option modules to the backplane; a second connector corresponding to the second slot for connecting the IO controller module to the backplane; and wherein the backplane includes communication links for interconnecting the second connector to each of the plurality of first connectors.
In order to describe one or more embodiments of the invention, the emerging industry standard PCI Express (PCI-E) technology and PCI Express Server/Workstation Module (a.k.a. Server IO option module (SIOM)) form factors will be used by way of example. However, it is understood that other industry standard IO module form factors, like InfiniBand™ and PICMIG™ Advanced TCA, for example, may also benefit from the invention.
As shown in the illustration of
The IO subassembly enclosure 10 provides such features as IO controller flexibility, EMI shielding, cooling and power distribution, for example, as will be more fully understood from the more detailed description supra. The depth and cooling of the subassembly may be made to conform to many datacenter and Telco communication rack standards. The subassembly enclosure 10 of the present embodiment is designed to be a modular building block to provide IO configuration versatility to satisfy the various multi-processor system performance product specifications. In addition, the subassembly enclosure 10 may be configured to physically fit into various computer server and Telco markets as well as be applied to future IO technologies other than PCI Express. An advantage of this modular building block approach is the "one size fits all" utilization.
The enclosure 10 further includes horizontal slots 16 and 18 in a space below the vertical slots 12 for accepting one or more IO controller modules, like those shown at 20 and 22, respectively. In the present embodiment, each IO controller module 20 and 22 comprises a printed circuit (PC) board 24 having disposed thereon a plurality of ICs including an IO hub (IOH) controller IC 26 which may require a heat sink 28 for dissipating heat away from the IC 26 during operation thereof. The IO controller PC board 24 may include: one or more rear connectors 30 for electrically connecting to the PC board of the backplane when fully inserted into the corresponding horizontal slot of the enclosure 10, and one or more front connectors 32 for connecting via wire cables to a host system. Each IO controller module 20 and 22 may be interconnected to all of the vertical IO option module slots 12 through PC runs of the backplane.
By disposing the IO controller ICs 26 on one or more external modules 20 and 22, the backplane becomes passive comprising only interconnecting etched conductive runs. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, an IO controller module 20 or 22 may be replaced by unplugging the old module from the backplane of the enclosure 10 and replacing it with a new or upgraded module just as with the IO option modules 14. Thus, the enclosure 10 is no longer limited to the IO controller ICs of a backplane motherboard, but rather now reconfigurable with replaceable IO option and controller modules to suit a particular or changing application.
An exemplary PCI-E SIOM 14 is shown in front and back isometric view perspectives in
Each SIOM 14 may also include one or more connectors 48 attached to the front panel 47 of the module to connect it via a suitable wire cable to an interfacing external unit, which may be a network, a storage interface, a peripheral and the like. Note that the number of connectors 48 and the interconnecting wire cable or cables are option module specific, i.e. dependent on the function performed by the option module. At the rear of the SIOM may be a standardized connector 50 which, when the SIOM is plugged into the corresponding slot 12, connects the option module to the IO controller module or modules via the etched PC runs of the passive backplane. Accordingly, any SIOM may be plugged into any slot of the enclosure, independent of the function it performs. The IO controller module may determine the function of each SIOM plugged into the enclosure in accordance with "plug and play" type methodology, for example.
Each SIOM module may be left open in the rear as shown in
A functional block diagram schematic of an exemplary IO controller module 20, 22 is shown in
A number of other circuit blocks, which may be disposed on the IO controller module, include clock and miscellaneous logic circuitry 66, complex or "out of band" management circuitry 68, and voltage regulation and monitoring circuit 70. Each of these circuit blocks may be connected to both the IO option and controller modules for utilization thereby. For example, the clock circuit 66 may provide one or more clock signals and associated logic to synchronize the operations of the various modules; the management circuits 68 may provide "out of band" management functions, such as control of powering up states, monitoring of the system for support, service and error logging and the like; and the voltage regulation circuits 70 may convert the input prime voltage levels from power sources to operational voltage levels of the various modules and perform the voltage regulation and monitoring thereof.
A functional illustration of the IO subsystem enclosure 10 is shown by way of example in
In addition to the SIOM slots 12, the enclosure 10 may also include one or more slots 78 for a power supply module which may have the same form factor as the SIOM modules 14, for example. Each power slot 78 may have an associated standardized connector 80 for receiving the connector of the corresponding power supply module. The connector 80 may be also part of the passive backplane assembly and may either be disposed on the PC board backplane 64 or connected thereto. Each power supply module be a power source to the other modules of the enclosure wherein low power signals may be distributed from the power supply module to the other modules through etched runs in the passive backplane of the enclosure 10 via associated connector assemblies.
Note that one power supply module 90 is plugged into the enclosure 10 for the embodiment depicted in
In the PCI-E technology standard, a communication connection between the host system and an IO option card via the IO controller module is referred to as a "link" which may include a "lane" of one upstream differential pair of conductors (IO option module-to-host), and one downstream differential pair of conductors (host-to-IO option module). Each communication link may include more than one communication lane depending on the tasks of the corresponding application specific IO option module. Accordingly, a link designated as X1 is understood to be one lane wide which would include a differential pair of upstream conductors and a differential pair of downstream conductors, a link designated as X2 is understood to be two lanes wide which would include a pair of upstream conductors and a pair of downstream conductors for each lane, and so on. It is known that the PCI-E base technology and SIOM form factor will support configurable bandwidths of X1, X2, X4, X8, and X16 by allowing multiple independent Serializer-Deserializer (SERDES) Lanes to form different multi-lane links as shown in Table 1 below. However, lane width support is currently market and mechanical form dependent.
One market segment that has a wide range of bandwidth requirements is the server market. Many of today's volume IO option modules or adapters, like Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber-Channel, and Ultra SCSI, for example, can reach line rate operation with a single PCI-E lane (X1) link. However, emerging ten (10) gigabit technologies, like 10 gE (Ethernet), 10 gFC (Fiber-Channel), or InfiniBand HCA, for example, require a link of X4 lane width. Other multi-channel IO option modules, such as quad or octal S-ATA/SAS, for example, require a link of X4 or X8. Very high bandwidth IO option modules, such as X12 InfiniBand HCAs, multi-channel 10 g devices, and work station graphics, for example, require a link of X16 lanes.
Over the course of the next ten years, IO link bandwidths are expected to increase by a factor of ten or more, with forty (40) gigabit technologies expected by the years of 2007-8 and one-hundred (100) gigabit technologies by the years of 2010-12. Communication links to support these technologies may require X8 or X16 lane widths plus the additional bandwidth provided by Gen 2 and Gen 3 signaling.
As noted in the Background section of the instant application, current IO subassemblies place the IO controller ICs as part of the IO motherboard configuration. Thus, while the IO option modules are replaceable for reconfiguration, the IO motherboard is integrated and not easily replaceable. Thus, IO slot speeds and lane widths of the communication links of the current IO subsystems are dedicated and can not meet the growing needs of the emerging technologies. In order to provide an IO subsystem that is configurable and adaptable to the foregoing described highly fragmented server market bandwidth desires, bandwidth to the various IO option module slots of the subsystem should be effectively distributed.
Another aspect of the present invention provides a way to adapt the dedication of the IO slot speeds, lane widths and capabilities of the communication links for a specific application or upgrade via the use of the removable IO controller card as described infra. The removable IO controller module of the present embodiment may also provide redundancy options, if desired. Accordingly, with the present embodiment, system users need pay only for the performance and features they desire in their markets.
This aspect of the present invention provides for optimizing and configuring PCI-E root port complex ("host bridge") lane width (bandwidth) availability and distribution to a number of IO slots of the subsystem enclosure for target application spaces. It also provides a mechanism to adjust or adapt bandwidth or lane width over time due to increased IO adapter bandwidth desirability within a specific signaling "generation", or to take advantage of lower cost by distributing narrower links at future signaling generations, i.e. "Gen 2", "Gen 3", . . . within the IO subsystem of the present invention without changing the enclosure infrastructure.
The PCI-E SIOM form factor will support lane widths of X1 to X16 per IO option as well as a broad range of interoperable IO option module to IO host bridge lane widths as exemplified by the table below:
Some number of SIOM slots may be provisioned in the subsystem enclosure to provide IO connectivity in such applications as server, telecom, client, and storage, for example. Other applications may benefit from this aspect of the present invention as well. For the purposes of describing this aspect by way of example, six (6) SIOM slots may be configured in an enclosure 100 as shown in the illustration of
Referring to
In this manner, the IO subsystem enclosure 100 is pre-wired for the maximum bandwidth capability, at the cost of full bandwidth connectivity and PC board routing/layers of the passive backplane 64. Thus, the IO subsystem enclosure 100 may be used for volume server applications, where a mix of moderate bandwidths for the SIOMs is desired. Any extra cost of the IO subsystem associated with this provisioning will be small in comparison to the savings which results from having a IO subsystem enclosure that can be used for multiple cost/performance applications and may be upgraded to meet bandwidth demands for at least ten years in the future.

An exemplary IO controller module configured for a high performance, high end server application for the year 2006 is illustrated by the block diagram schematic of
An exemplary IO controller module configured for a high performance, high end server application for the year 2010 in which a mix of very high bandwidths and multiple generation signaling is desired is illustrated by the block diagram schematic of
In the present embodiment, the IO subsystem enclosure 10 is sized in length and width to fit two enclosures side-by-side in a 24 inch rack of a conventional cabinet, and sized in depth to permit four enclosures back-to-back in the 24 inch rack as shown in a top view illustration of
For example, the fans of the two side by side enclosures 130 and 132 disposed at the front 134 of the rack 136 may be controlled to force air through the enclosures 130 and 132 from front to rear as depicted by the arrowed directional lines 138. Likewise, the fans of the two side by side enclosures 142 and 144 disposed at the rear 146 of the rack 136 may be controlled to force air through the enclosures 142 and 144 from rear to front as depicted by the arrowed directional lines 146. In this manner, cooling air will be forced through all of the enclosures 130, 132, 142 and 144 in the same direction to maintain the electronic components of the modules of the enclosures at a safe operating temperature.
While the present embodiment uses four fans per enclosure mounted at the backplane thereof, it is understood that this arrangement is depicted merely as an example to illustrate the broader principle of air flow through the enclosures in either direction. It is further understood that this concept may be accomplished by any number of different fan arrangements at the enclosure cabinet. For example, one large fan may be disposed at the rear of the enclosure to accomplish the same result. Also, it is preferred to have the fans integrally mounted to each enclosure in order to have an independently and autonomously operated IO subsystems. But, this inventive aspect is not limited to such an arrangement. Rather, the fans may be mounted at the cabinet just as well to achieve the same or similar result.
In the instant server example, the processor PC boards 157 are disposed horizontally in the lower portion 156, preferably from the left of the cabinet 150, and connected to a vertically mounted motherboard 158 at the right of the cabinet. Communication among the processors, memory and IO subsystems may be controlled through a plurality of controller ICs 162 disposed on the motherboard 158. Electrical connections between the motherboard 158 and the IO controller modules of the IO subsystem enclosures of the rack 152 may be made by wire cables from a horizontal row of connectors 160 on the motherboard 158 to the connectors of each of the IO subsystem controller modules. In addition, electrical connections from the motherboard 158 to an IO subsystem external to the cabinet 150 may be made via wire cables from a row of connectors 164 at a vertical edge of the motherboard 158, for example.
The multi-processor section 156 of cabinet 150 may be air cooled by mounting large cooling fans 165 and 166 respectively to the front and rear of the lower portion of the cabinet 150 as illustrated in
In a similar manner as the system arrangements described in connection with the embodiments of
In summary, the IO backplanes of current multi-processor systems are based on industry standard bus interfaces, such as PCI, PCI-X, PCI-E or others. Such backplanes typically require a system motherboard or backplane with a fixed IO host bridge to slot distribution of bandwidth. For PCI standardized systems, this has meant that a change in a pre-designed mix of multi-bit (wide) slots and/or a mix of slot speeds for an application specific IO subsystem required new backplane spins and revisions.
By moving the active logic of the backplane off of the backplane to a centrally disposed IO controller module pluggable into the backplane, and pre-wiring the full bandwidth and sideband complement from each SIOM slot of the IO subsystem enclosure to the IO controller modules via a passive PC board, the following advantages may be realized:
1) all logic failures of the IO subsystem are on field replaceable modules,
2) short etched conductive runs between the IO controller module and slots ensures compatibility with slot speed upgrades for IO subsystem growth,
3) features may be added to the system by upgrading the replaceable IO controller modules,
4) bug fixes are limited to replaceable modules,
5) cost/performance levels may be configured via the IO controller modules and cable capabilities, and
6) a "one IO subsystem fits all" concept is realizable for varying markets.
In addition, including the replaceable power conversion and regulation module in the IO subsystem enclosure addresses at least two aspects of upgradeability:
1) allows varied power supply sources for different markets and price points, e.g. standard single phase 110 VAC, three phase AC, DC (+48V or other), and N+1 or other mechanism for redundancy;
2) provides an ability to change output voltage, current or regulation over time as IO form factor requirements and adapter power requirements evolve; and
3) may be used to provide cost/performance commensurate with adapter types per market segment.
The "one IO subsystem fits all" modular building block aspect provides for reduced manufacturing cost because of volume production, flexible configurations, and common serviceability. This modular building block approach allows configuration of industry standard modules in a form factor that may be utilized in many different system scenarios. As a result of the replaceable IO controller module, the IO subsystem may be configured with faster (X16), slower (X2, X4, X8), or a combination of fast and slow IO links. The IO enclosure design also uniquely permits redundant IO controller module functionality. Also, the totally passive backplane may deliver faster IO functionality at minimum fixed cost that is common across all applications. The configurable IO subsystem satisfies the needs from small volume servers to high-end mainframe class servers.
In addition, the IO subsystem includes power and cooling capabilities integral to the enclosure along with EMI containment. The cooling forced air flow of the enclosure may be controlled between "front-to-rear" and "rear-to-front" so that two enclosures may be mounted back to back within a cabinet rack and be compliant with IEC regulations. Also, this airflow optimization mechanism allows the enclosure to meet thermal requirements, such as Telcordia GR-3028 regulations.
While the present invention has been described herein above in connection with one or more embodiments, it is understood that such embodiments were merely presented by way of example with no intention of limiting the present invention in any way. Accordingly, the present invention should not be limited by the description of the instant specification, but rather construed in breadth and broad scope in accordance with the recitation of the claims appended hereto.

About jewish inhabitants that lost their synagoge
In a street there is a dark monument telling a sad story that happened before it even got more dramatic. Goch used to have - as every medieval town in these surroundings - quite a number of jewish citizens. But in the years preceding the second worldwar, Germany was not anymore a safe home for them. The monument recalls that on the night of the 9th and 10th of November 1939 a group of national socialists burned down the synagoge that used to be in this spot.
From Beguinage to Saint John's convent
In 1358 this used to be a beguinage that was situated against the city walls. It changed into the Johannes convent and was that for centuries long. Only in 1802 Marianne van den Bosch took over the almost empty convent and made it into a hospital, named after her father Wilhelm Anton". This was still not the stop of changes as in 1928 the Tertiarinnen founded in this place their convent. In the sisties the building however crumbled apart and only a part of the West side stayed up. The town however saw the importance of this monument and restored it to become the town's bookmaker's shop. the simple style it is rebuilt in reminds of the original.
Take a walk on the ... quite ... side
Behind the Kastell, the cultural and historical museum of Goch, a walkingbridge brings you over the river Niers into a quite and green area that is the small park of Goch. Here one can follow the stream to the next bridge to have a small tour in a very peaceful and quite environment.
Museum for cultural history of Goch
The Kastell is between a must see and a off the beaten path tip. It is a modern building that is on a historic place. Here used to be the castle of Goch, but only fundaments are left on which this huge building is made in special style. The Kastell is now housing some conference-rooms, but also the interesting cultural historic museum of Goch and surroundings. For those who want to know much more about this part of germany / the world, it is recommended to take a walk to and through the museum.

Just so everyone knows, I'm not putting off going to the Dr., I'm waiting for a ride!
I woke up with a really bad headache today and didnt get to sleep late because I had a pretty bad pain in my lower right side below my ribs and horrible heartburn.
The headaches been all day and now I'm seeing flashing spots everywhere as if there are glow bugs all over my house.
I googled both and they are both signs of pre eclampsia :(
Has anyone else had the flashing lights and everything be fine? Whenever it happens I get very dizzy at the same time & my legs feel like noodles.
I'm 28 weeks 3 days and worried :( I hope my ride gets here soon...

"Kirkus' review of The Mill River Recluse played an important role in encouraging readers to take a chance on a first novel by an unknown author."
— Darcie Chan, independent author of The Mill River Recluse, which sold more than 500,000 copies
Back in 2004, Leila Roy started Bookshelves of Doom as a simple reading log. Over the past 10 years, it has morphed and expanded into a website that covers stories in all forms—fact and fiction, print and film, video games and songs—but, at its heart, it is still best described by the tagline it launched with: "Book news, reviews, my life, and anything else I think is interesting."
Now that I've squeezed every possible full reading day out of 2014, I finally feel comfortable making a list of favorites. Here it is:
Most Favorite Book: Gabi: A Girl in Pieces, by Isabel Quintero
This is usually a difficult call for me: I waffle and dither, and some years, I'm not able to settle on just one. Not this year. This year, Gabi claimed the crown the moment we met, hands down, number one with a bullet. Gabi herself ...
About halfway through Kat Beyer's The Halcyon Bird, it occurred to me that a column about demon hunters might not be the most seasonally appropriate choice. Ah, well.
While The Halcyon Bird suffers from a mild case of Middle Book Syndrome—yes, there are a couple of new storylines, but neither feels quite as important as the overarching plot; the final few paragraphs feel strangely unfinished, not at all like the end of an installment—overall, it shares the same strengths as ...
Those of you who've read Rachel Ward's Numbers trilogy will find the premise of Victoria Laurie's upcoming When familiar: A young girl is capable of seeing what no one else can see—the deathdates of everyone she meets. Rest assured, though—that is pretty much the only thing that the books have in common. Despite the similarity in set-up, they differ in tone, storyline, character type and even genre.
Sixteen-year-old Maddie Fynn's mother is a not-so-functional alcoholic, so over the years, Maddie ...
Things to love about Sarah Zettel's Dangerous Deceptions, sequel to the equally lovable Palace of Spies:
The subtitle. Being the Latest Volume in the Entirely True and Wholly Remarkable Adventures of Margaret Preston Fitzroy, Maid of Honor, Impersonator of Persons of Quality, Confirmed Housebreaker, Apprentice Cardsharper, and Confidential Agent at the Court of His Majesty, King George I—the fabulosity of it begs the question: Why have ridiculously long subtitles gone out of fashion? (Ditto the chapter headings, which read ...
For a moment I want to say: Nadine, hold on to all this. Remember this. Not because it is all beautiful or good—so much of it is ugly and broken—but because it is ours.
—Hold Tight, Don't Let Go, Laura Rose Wagner
As you probably remember, on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a magnitude seven earthquake hit Haiti. Millions of people were affected: hundreds of thousands lost their homes, were injured, died. The ...
Josh Sundquist's upcoming memoir, We Should Hang Out Sometime: Embarrassingly, A True Story, should be an easy pick for most fans of Nick Hornby's High Fidelity and John Green's An Abundance of Katherines. Like High Fidelity, it's about a guy who revisits all of his past relationships in order to understand why his love life is such a disaster; as in An Abundance of Katherines, our hero is a bright guy who wishes that people were as understandable as math ...
It's already that time again! Let's take a look at a few of the new books that'll be hitting the shelves this month:
Diamond Boy, by Michael Williams
On the one hand, Diamond Boy sounds like a traumatizing horror show—it's set in and around the diamond mines of Zimbabwe, and the Kirkus review says that it could cause "sympathetic PTSD in readers"—but on the other, I like to keep my eyes peeled for YA novels set in modern-day Africa. Kirkus ...
I was originally planning to write about an upcoming book today, but my feelings about it were not entirely positive, which seemed like a downer for Thanksgiving week. So, instead, I'm going to talk about books I've read in 2014 for which I'm thankful. This is NOT a best of list—for one thing, I've still got an entire month of reading ahead of me, and as a first-round Cybils panelist, that means that in December, I'll probably read three times ...

UK artist Jennifer Collier uses repurposed books and papers to sculpt an array of art objects inspired by the very materials used to create them—from stilettos made from the pages of Little Women to gloves fashioned from the illustrated text of Alice in Wonderland—each finished project a reflection of the written words from which it's made.

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM
A short story by Seattle cartoonist Jim Woodring about the wonders of childhood and the mysteries of the great wide world is brought to the radio airwaves by director S.W. Conser and the One Take Pony players: David Chelsea, Zoe Loranger, Emily Young, and Mike Russell.
B-movie auteur Lloyd Kaufman is one of the most prolific independent filmmakers working today, his Troma Entertainment production company responsible for cult classics such as The Toxic Avenger and Cannibal! The Musical. Lloyd joins S.W. Conser to discuss media monopolies, guerrilla filmmaking, and his new book Direct Your Own Damn Movie!
Guest Host Michelle Shroeder-Flectcher talks with Molly Test and Kahedja Burley of the Portland Theater Brigade. Also, Frank Reynolds presents a special profile of Imago Theatre's latest show, "Simple People".
Host S.W. Conser speaks with legendary "B" filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman. Kaufman is the writer/producer/director of such cult-classic films asThe Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and Tromeo and Juliet. In 25 years, Kaufman, along with partner Michael Herz, has built Troma Studios up from a company struggling to find its voice in a field crowded with competitors to its current—and legendary—status as a lone survivor, a bastion of true cinematic independence, and the world's greatest collection of camp on film. He discusses his latest book, Make Your Own Damn Movie! Secrets of a Renegade Director.
The guest is philosopher and mechanic Matthew B. Crawford. He is currently a fellow at the University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture. He owns and operates Shockoe Moto, an independent motorcycle repair shop in Richmond, Virginia. He discusses his book "Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work." Crawford believes the manual trades offer the best hope of self-reliance and satisfaction at a time when many feel out of touch in an abstract world. Craftsmanship and the art of making things and fixing things is work that can not become obsolete or outsourced.
Residents of the Lents neighborhood will meet Wednesday evening to challenge the proposal of a Triple A baseball stadium and to offer alternatives.
Lents park is located near southeast 92nd Avenue and Holgate Boulevard.
With nearly $42 millon dollars in urban renewal funds on the line, residents and other local advocates are doing what they can to prevent construction of the stadium at the park.
KBOO reporter EmMarie Badio talks with Brian Krieg who is Chair of the Urban Forestry Commission as to why he believes the mayor should reconsider the location of the stadium.
America means freedom, and nothing says freedom more than the freedom of health care... A major health care lobby gives us reasons to be against single-payer universal health care and for the profit-driven system that we have now.
AN EVIL, EVIL MAN - Starring the voice of Richard Bruce Cheney, this audio peice involves a former vice-president accused of torture and war crimes who appears again on the air waves for even more fear mongering. A collage of scary sounds and creepy pronouncements from an evil, evil man.

The campground was very nice. The adult pool was dirty the whole time there. We stayed 3 nights and had 4 campsites. We had 22 people with us and we had to go to the kiddy pool because the adult pool was sooooo dirty.. The bathrooms are old and rusted, and they could have been a lot cleaner than they were. I will not go back to this campground because of the bathrooms and the dirty pool. The place they have for tents is in a big field with NO trees. All the seasonals have shade, but the people with tents have to roast in the sun. We didn't like that and we didn't like the DIRTY adult pool. - traceyld65
Oct 2010 - $56.00
I would like to give them a better review but can not. Made reservations early in 2010, requested to be with 2 other campers, not one of us were together. Called twice and asked if we could be moved closer they said yes. When we arrived, our site was double booked and we had to move FURTHER away. We were put on a small site with a fifth wheel and 2 slides although a lot of sites around us were much, much bigger. Staff was not very friendly. We were yelled at for having our dog off the lead, yet we were not given any rules. Probably will not camp here again. - Tdkozak
Sep 2010 - $28.00
We stayed one night here. It is a huge resort with many seasonal residents. We we lucky to have checked their site online, because we got a rate of $28 instead of the usual $48. Sites are large and shaded; we were serenaded by the sound of numerous acorns falling on our roof! As a stopover, this place is overkill, but at our rate, it was very nice and a bargain. We could not get a Wi-Fi signal. - Piscesman

A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda Demo v2Jul 19, 2010 Demo 0 comments
This demo is jam-packed with updates! If you didn't know better, you might think this was a new game!
A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda is the first chapter in a full featured episodic hardcore action packed side scrolling platformer, in the tradition of retro classics, where you play as Ares, a combat robot created for the sole purpose of saving humanity. Can you live up to the task or will you be reduced to nuts and bolts?
0 comments by nenin on Oct 3rd, 2014
It has been a while since our last update about the game. We are very happy to announce that our A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda EX is now available on Steam.
For us, EX is like the remake/improved version of the original A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda plus the expansion of new levels and a new playable character.
1. Five original levels are retouched and redesigned at some parts. The weapon/ability system and GUI are totally redesigned.
2. New high resolution textures as well as brand new animated cut scenes and dialogue.
3. Original enemies and bosses are also re-balanced. Some of them are improved with the new AI
4. There are 2 new levels, built from the ground up, with new enemies, obstacles, mini bosses and bosses. The story is also rewrited, so it reflects new level line up.
5. A new playable character, Tarus, is added with its own story and ending (but the sequence of levels line up is the same as Ares) Tarus comes with his own combat style and ability. I personally recommend everyone who played the original version try the new character.
6. The character leveling system and achievements are reworked.
7. New soundtracks for Tarus campaign.
In short, many things that we hope to be in the original version are here in the EX version. I do really enjoy the EX and I hope everyone here would enjoy it too.
Please feel free to leave your comment below :)
This demo is jam-packed with updates! If you didn't know better, you might think this was a new game!
Can't wait for the full release? Play the demo, today, and kick some Zytron-butt!
Bought the game and enjoyed the **** out of it!
I love you because of this comment now. And that is just the way it is.
Looks interesting. A few questions:
1- Do you plan to support other controllers?
2- How many levels are there in the game?
3- How do you say "good job" in Thai? :)
that's cool, nice job. :)
Whoa that's such a cool game from my country !! lolz !!
I've to register and get some post for this game. A good work indeed ;)
I saw it asked below, but do you have plans to release the game on Steam, because it's very good and Steam is the only way I can pay for downloadble games :/
We hope to release the game on Steam next month.
Full steamworks (cloud/stats/achievements), or just simple release?
They are all in the update plan. :)
dat's awesome, man, I'll buy it then. :D
nice, a steam release would be awesome

Why such big bikes on gravel/ dirt routes?

Siza da bike was a real quandry for me when I re-entered this sport some years back. I wanted to have a do-all unit for my part of the world, lots of mountain roads, desert, and 2 lane highway, so ended up buying this thing
Did what I asked of it, feels a bit smallish on long highway runs, just right on fire roads, piggy on single track.
Soon after buying the DR, Mrs Shady decides to get back into riding too, and we get this
Heck I love the little thing. The smaller the road and trail, the more I like being on it. If I were at Lake Wenatchee and heading up Dirty Face mountain to ride trails all day the XT is the bike. It's just a bit small when I have 90 miles of pavement to head home.
My rides take me farther and farther these days to explore new areas, so I bought this:
Ah, smooth on the highway, and still does the dirt roads just fine.
I have all three in the garage right now, and luckily can match the bike to the ride. I take the smallest one that will comfortably perform the task at hand. I do look forward to some superlight camping off the XT which I haven't done yet.
So in summation, I'd be on the little bike for pretty much any gravel/dirt route, the determining factor is what surface and how far I have to ride to get to the dirt route.

WASHINGTON (DTN) -- Corn and soybean stocks as of June 1 came in near pre-report estimates, at 4.45 billion bushels and 625 million bushels, respectively.
USDA also expects record soybean acreage at 85.14 million acres, up from March's Prospective Plantings estimate of 84.6 ma. Corn acreage, at 88.9 ma, declined slightly from USDA's previous estimate of 89.2 ma.
Sorghum stocks came in below the range of pre-report expectations while acreage came in above the range of expectations.
For USDA's full Acreage and quarterly Grain Stocks reports, visit: http://www.nass.usda.gov/…
Corn ending stocks as of June 1 came in at 4.45 billion bushels, up 15% from the year prior. Of the total, 2.28 billion bushels are held on-farm while 2.17 bb are in commercial storage. The March-to-May disappearance is 3.3 bb, an increase from last year's 3.16 bb.
Corn planted acreage declined 2% from 2014 and is estimated at 88.9 ma, the lowest acreage figure since 2010. USDA anticipates that farmers harvest 81.1 ma for grain. Planted acreage was steady or lower across most of the Corn Belt with the exception of Wisconsin, which increased plantings compared to 2014.
Farmers that responded to USDA's surveys said that 98% of the crop had been planted.
Soybean stocks as of June 1 came in at 625 mb, toward the low end of pre-report estimates. Farmers held 246 mb on-farm, while off-farm stocks came in at 379 mb. Disappearance from March to May totaled 701 mb, up 19% from the year prior.
USDA estimates that farmers planted 85.1 ma to soybeans, which is 2% higher than last year and a new record. USDA expects farmers will harvest 84.4 million acres.
Acreage is higher or unchanged in 20 of the 31 major producing states with increased of 200,000 acres or more in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Tennessee.
In USDA's summary of crop conditions, it acknowledged that wet weather had slowed planting progress as of June 1, noting that Kansas was 42 percentage points behind the five-year average planting pace and that Missouri was 34 percentage points behind.
Of 2015 soybean acreage, 94% of it was planted to herbicide resistance seed varieties, USDA said.
Sorghum stocks as of June 1 came in 33 mb, below the range of pre-report expectations. Farmers held 2.9 mb bushels in on-farm storage and 30.3 mb in off-farm locations. Disappearance from March to May was 86 mb.
A majority of the remaining sorghum stocks is located in Kansas, which has 18.4 mb in storage.
As for acreage, farmers planted 8.84 ma, nearly 1 million acres more than USDA forecast in March. That's up 24% from 2014 with Kansas and Texas accounting for 72% of total acreage.
Old-crop wheat stocks in all positions on June 1 came in at 753 mb, up 28% from a year ago and toward the higher end of pre-report estimates. On-farm stocks are estimated at 155 mb while off-farm stocks are at 597 mb. March to May disappearance is 388 mb, down 17% from a year earlier.
USDA said farmers planted wheat on 56.08 ma in 2015. Winter wheat was planted on 40.6 ma, with 29.6 ma of hard red winter and 7.61 ma of soft red winter. Spring wheat was planted on 13.5 ma and durum on 1.95 ma.
In its quarterly Grain Stocks report, USDA said that corn stocks in all positions on June 1 totaled 4.45 billion bushels, less than expected, said DTN Analyst Todd Hultman. Soybean stocks on June 1 totaled 625 million bushels, less than expected. USDA said that wheat stocks on June 1 totaled 753 million bushels, which was more than expected.
"USDA's Grain Stocks estimates were bullish for corn and soybeans, but bearish for wheat," Hultman said.
In its Acreage report, USDA estimated that 88.9 million acres of corn will be planted in 2015, a little less than the pre-report estimate of 89.2 million acres and down 2% from a year ago, Hultman said. Planted soybean acres were estimated at a record-high 85.1 million, slightly below the pre-report estimate of 85.2 million acres and up 2% from a year ago. USDA estimated planted wheat acres at 56.1 million, more than expected while spring wheat acres were pegged at 13.5 million acres, slightly more than expected.
"USDA's acreage estimates are slightly bullish for new-crop corn, neutral for new-crop soybeans and slightly bearish for wheat," Hultman said.

Carrie Underwood is just your average, five dollar foot-long lovin' girl.
In a new interview, the country music stunner speaks up about keeping it hot in her very committed relationship with her NHL husband, Mike Fisher. Apparently one of the things on the couple's steamy checklist is spending quality time at the affordable sandwich shop, Subway.
The singer spills the beans about her hunger-crunching secret to a happy marriage in the newest issue of People magazine. Along with typical married people things like hosting dinner nights at their house with friends and sending texts back-and-forth when their schedules pull them apart, the couple keeps it interesting by spending casual dates at the restaurant chain.
As bizarre as that sounds for someone who is valued somewhere around $45 million, the story actually is kind of romantic.
"We called it 'our place' when we were first dating!" she says of the eatery.
Perhaps it's Subway's make-it-your-way menu and combo options that remind them of their deep affection and obligation to one another...
She adds: "When you make that promise to somebody, and you stand before God and your family and friends, you've got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work."
And, when they're not wolfing down Italian BMTs or Ham and Cheeses, they're keeping things hot and toasty in other ways.
"Even when he's like, 'I'm so out of shape,' he still has a six-pack," she says. "Having Mike there – I want to be a hot wife!"
Carrie's People mag feature arrives on newsstands everywhere this Friday.

What's Up at the Library?
The library will be closed on Saturday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
Look for the library's float and bookmobile in the Arlington Heights Fourth of July parade. Festivities begin at 10 a.m. at the corner of Dunton and Oakton Streets and end at Recreation Park, site of the Village's 40th Annual Frontier Days Celebration.
The judges' Review Stand will be in front of the library. A reserved parade viewing area (for wheelchair users) and additional reserved parking for persons with disabilities will be available at the library. The reserved viewing area is located just north of the Review Stand, outside the east entrance to the library. It is advised to arrive early as space is limited and consider wearing protective clothing or bringing an umbrella for shade.
The library will be open and resume regular hours on Sunday, July 5.
More than 200 Arlington Heights book lovers turned out after-hours on Saturday, June 27 for An Evening with Candace Bushnell. The sold-out event, presented and co-sponsored by the library and the Tuscan Market Book Group, featured the bestselling author of Sex and the City and Lipstick Jungle who is currently on a national book tour for her newest release, Killing Monica. During her three-hour appearance in the Hendrickson Room, Candace signed books, took photographs with attendees and delivered a lively onstage presentation including an audience Q&A.
"I like writing about characters that are larger than life," Bushnell said. She revealed that her latest character in Killing Monica comes from an idea of always having to put our best selves forward in today's social media-crazed world.
"Monica is always happy and smiling and when you see her, you want to be her. Nothing ever goes wrong for Monica so we definitely know she is an imaginary character," Bushnell joked. "The book really is about identity and who we are and how we reinvent ourselves."
The event began with Arlington Heights Mayor Tom Hayes welcoming Candace and proclaiming Saturday, June 27, 2015 as "Candace Bushnell Book Launch Event Day in the Village of Arlington Heights." In response Candace told the crowd:
"Libraries mean so much to me. When I was a kid, the library was where we went for our entertainment. There's a universe out there at your library. I am so touched and so proud to be here."

How do you (I) post a Killboy Pict ..
On the Killboy fail thread?
Can I pull them directly from their FB page?
Do I need permission directly from the Killpeople ?
Not that all yawls conversations are not gripping or anything. but.. well.. erm.. There are lots of great photos to see, and I would love to see more of them here.
I waded thru the "ask Baldy.. but didn't see what I needed. I'm not sure if I am allowed to drag Killboy's stuff to another photo site..
Did you happen to notice that every Killboy proof has his logo on it? (but no copyright) Threads like this with his logo on every pic are free advertising for him.
I just like the term "Killpeople."
Pretty sure the Killpeople won't mind if you give them some free advertising on this site, just don't alter the photos to remove their logo or anything like that. (Unless you've paid for a photo from them, then IMO you can do whatever the hell you want with it)
