Extreme Overclocking of Skylake (7.02566 GHz)
Subject: Processors | February 6, 2016 - 09:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Skylake, overclocking, asrock, Intel, gskill
I recently came across a post at PC Gamer that looked at the extreme overclocking leaderboard of the Skylake-based Intel Core i7-6700K. Obviously, these competitions will probably never end as long as higher numbers are possible on parts that are interesting for one reason or another. Skylake is the new chip on the liquid nitrogen block. It cannot reach frequencies as high as its predecessors, but teams still compete to get as high as possible on that specific SKU.
The current world record for a single-threaded Intel Core i7-6700K is 7.02566 GHz, which is achieved with a voltage of 4.032V. For comparison, the i7-6700K is typically around 1.3V at load. This record was apparently set about a month ago, on January 11th.
This is obviously a huge increase, about three-fold more voltage for the extra 3 GHz. For comparison, the current world record over all known CPUs is the AMD FX-8370 with a clock of 8.72278 GHz. Many Pentium 4-era processors make up the top 15 places too, as those parts were designed for high clock rates with relatively low IPC.
The rest of the system used G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 DDR4 RAM, an ASRock Z170M OC Formula motherboard, and an Antec 1300W power supply. It used an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 GPU, which offloaded graphics from the integrated chip, but otherwise interfered as little as possible. They also used Windows XP, because why not I guess? I assume that it does the least amount of work to boot, allowing a quicker verification, but that is only a guess.
Swiftech's H320 X2, bigger, better and ready for your personal touches

The Swiftech H320 X2 is obviously designed for those who like to show off the insides of their system, parts of both the reservoir and waterblock are clear as is the piping and there are indeed LEDs on the cooler. It is larger than the previous generation, the radiator is 127 x 375 x 28mm with a 109ml reservoir, three Swiftech Helix 120mm PWM fans are installed to pull heat from the radiator. Modders Inc loved the fact that while this is an AiO cooler, it is designed with modding in mind as you can add in or switch out components which is a rarity in AiO watercoolers. The performance was also impressive, you can read about that and more in their full review.
"All-in-one (AIO) water cooling units have brought the performance and silence of water cooling to the masses with the simplicity of installing an air cooler. AIOs offer simple installation without the need to bleed the loop. Simply attach the hardware and power cables and you are all set."

A friendly reminder about your OneDrive storage amount
Subject: General Tech | February 5, 2016 - 05:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: onedrive, microsoft, cloud storage
Remember the good old days when OneDrive moved from offering you 1TB of storage to an unlimited amount? That did not last too long, they changed their minds and dropped the paid service back to 1TB and the free version from 15GB to 5GB, with a chance to grandfather in the additional storage if you followed up with them.
A viewer recently encountered this for the first time and it seems appropriate to remind everyone about the change. If you have the paid service and are storing over 1TB you may have already heard from Microsoft but if not then consider this the warning that you have better trim down the amount of data you store on OneDrive as the changes are going to happen in the latter half of this year. The same goes for free users who have 15GB, or 30GB if you opted into the camera roll service, get the amount of files you have stored on OneDrive under 5GB or risk losing data you would rather keep. The standalone 100GB and 200GB plans will be reduced to 50GB, the price will remain at $1.99 per month.
The whole situation is reminiscent of a teacher in a classroom full of kids choosing to punish the entire class for the actions of a few individuals; in this case the tiny percentage which exceeded 75TB of usage. Make sure to clean up your OneDrive as soon as possible, this is not something you want to wait until the last minute to do.
"If you are using more than 5 GB of free storage, you will continue to have access to all files for at least 12 months after these changes go into effect in early 2016. In addition, you can redeem a free one-year Office 365 Personal subscription (credit card required), which includes 1 TB of OneDrive storage."

ASRock Releases BIOS to Disable Non-K Skylake Overclocking
Subject: Processors | February 5, 2016 - 11:44 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: Intel, Skylake, overclocking, cpu, Non-K, BCLK, bios, SKY OC, asrock, Z170
ASRock's latest batch of motherboard BIOS updates remove the SKY OS function, which permitted overclocking of non-K Intel processors via BCLK (baseclock).
The news comes amid speculation that Intel had pressured motherboard vendors to remove such functionality. Intel's unlocked K parts (i5-6600K, i7-6700K) will once again be the only options for Skylake overclocking on Z170 on ASRock boards (assuming prior BIOS versions are no longer available), and with no Pentium G3258 this generation Intel is no longer a budget friendly option for enthusiasts looking to push their CPU past factory specs.
(Image credit: Hexus.net)
It sounds like now would be a good time to archive that SKY OS enabled BIOS update file if you've downloaded it - or simply refrain from this BIOS update. What remains to be seen of course is whether other vendors will follow suit and disable BCLK overclocking of non-K processors. This had become a popular feature on a number of Z170 motherboards on the market, but ASRock may have been in too weak a position to battle Intel on this issue.
Unreal Editor for Unreal Engine 4 in VR

Tagged: GDC, gdc 2016, epic games, ue4, VR, vive vr
Epic Games released Unreal Engine 4 at GDC two years ago, and removed its subscription fee at the next year's show. This year, one of the things that they will show is Unreal Editor in VR with the HTC Vive. Using the system's motion controllers, you will be able to move objects and access UI panels in the virtual environment. They open the video declaring that this is not an experimental project.
Without using this technology, it's hard to comment on its usability. It definitely looks interesting, and might be useful for VR experiences. You can see what your experience will look like as you create it, and you probably even save a bit of time in rapid iteration by not continuously wearing and removing the equipment. I wonder how precise it will be though, since the laser pointers and objects seemed to snap and jitter a bit. That said, it might be just as precise and, even still, it only really matters how it looks and behaves, and it shouldn't even prevent minor tweaks after the fact anyway.
Epic Games expects to discuss the release plans at the show.
Mods like memory; the Gainward GTX 960 Phantom 4GB

If you don't have a lot of cash on hand for games or hardware, a 4k adaptive sync monitor with two $600 GPUs and a collection of $80 AAA titles simply isn't on your radar. That doesn't mean you have to toss in your love of gaming for occasional free to play gaming sessions; you just have to adapt. A prime example are those die hard Skyrim fans who have modded the game to oblivion over the past few years, with many other games and communities that may not be new but are still thriving. Chances are that you are playing at 1080p so a high powered GPU is not needed, however mods that upscale textures and many others do love huge tracts of RAM.
So for those outside of North America looking for a card they can afford after a bit of penny pinching, check out Legion Hardware's review of the 4GB version of the Gainward GTX 960 Phantom. It won't break any benchmarking records but it will let you play the games you love and even new games as their prices inevitably decrease over time.
Today we are checking out Gainward's premier GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, the Phantom 4GB. Equipped with twice the memory buffer of standard cards, it is designed for extreme 1080p gaming. Therefore it will be interesting to see how the Phantom 4GB compares to a 2GB GTX 960..."

Microsoft Lets Anyone "Git" Their Deep Learning On With Open Source CNTK
Subject: General Tech | February 4, 2016 - 01:18 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: open source, microsoft, machine learning, deep neural network, deep learning, cntk, azure
Microsoft has been using deep neural networks for awhile now to power its speech recognition technologies bundled into Windows and Skype to identify and follow commands and to translate speech respectively. This technology is part of Microsoft's Computational Network Toolkit. Last April, the company made this toolkit available to academic researchers on Codeplex, and it is now opening it up even more by moving the project to GitHub and placing it under an open source license.
Lead by chief speech and computer scientist Xuedong Huang, a team of Microsoft researchers built the Computational Network Toolkit (CNTK) to power all their speech related projects. The CNTK is a deep neural network for machine learning that is built to be fast and scalable across multiple systems, and more importantly, multiple GPUs which excel at these kinds of parallel processing workloads and algorithms. Microsoft heavily focused on scalability with CNTK and according to the company's own benchmarks (which is to say to be taken with a healthy dose of salt) while the major competing neural network tool kits offer similar performance running on a single GPU, when adding more than one graphics card CNTK is vastly more efficient with almost four times the performance of Google's TensorFlow and a bit more than 1.5-times Torch 7 and Caffe. Where CNTK gets a bit deep learning crazy is its ability to scale beyond a single system and easily tap into Microsoft's Azure GPU Lab to get access to numerous GPUs from their remote datacenters -- though its not free you don't need to purchase, store, and power the hardware locally and can ramp the number up and down based on how much GPU muscle you need. The example Microsoft provided showed two similarly spec'd Linux systems with four GPUs each running on Azure cloud hosting getting close to twice the performance of the 4 GPU system (75% increase). Microsoft claims that "CNTK can easily scale beyond 8 GPUs across multiple machines with superior distributed system performance."
Using GPU-based Azure machines, Microsoft was able to increase the performance of Cortana's speech recognition by 10-times compared to the local systems they were previously using.
It is always cool to see GPU compute in practice and now that CNTK is available to everyone, I expect to see a lot of new uses for the toolkit beyond speech recognition. Moving to an open source license is certainly good PR, but I think it was actually done more for Microsoft's own benefit rather than users which isn't necessarily a bad thing since both get to benefit from it. I am really interested to see what researchers are able to do with a deep neural network that reportedly offers so much performance thanks to GPUs. I'm curious what new kinds of machine learning opportunities the extra speed will enable.

NVIDIA Stops SHIELD Android 6.0 Update After Wi-Fi Issues
Subject: Mobile | February 4, 2016 - 09:39 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: wi-fi, shield tablet, shield, ota update, nvidia, android 6.0
NVIDIA has pulled the Android 6.0 OTA update for the original SHEILD (pre-K1) tablet after users experienced wi-fi connection issues. A post on NVIDIA's official forums explains:
"We have temporarily turned off the OTA update until we understand why a few users are losing WiFi connection after updating their tablet to OTA 4.0."
(Image: Android Police)
The post is authored by Manuel Guzman of NVIDIA Customer Care, and includes a list of potential fixes:
- Reboot your tablet 2-3 times. If this fails, power cycle your tablet 3-4 times (not reboot but complete power off). If this does not work, charge your tablet to 100% and attempt again a couple of times or so.
- Factory reset your tablet. Make sure you backup any important files before you perform this step.
- A couple of users reporting their WiFi coming back after leaving their tablet powered off for a few hours. Try leaving your tablet powered off for a few hours and then turn the device back on.
Users who still have issues connecting are asked to navigate to the Advanced W-Fi page on their tablet, and then to "take a screenshot and email the picture to email@example.com".
Windows 95 in a Web Browser
Subject: General Tech | February 4, 2016 - 02:15 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 95, javascript
This one is quite interesting. We've seen DOSBox cross-compiled into JavaScript using emscripten before. For instance, The Internet Archive has been publishing a huge catalog of DOS-era games on their site, including John Carmack's Catacomb II. In case you're wondering, memory management is handled in emscripten by reserving a large, contiguous chunk of memory as an ArrayBuffer. The C application can do its typical memory management tricks because it sees an unmanaged chunk of memory.
This example is an image of Windows 95, complete with its default applications such as Minesweeper. It was ported by Andrea Faulds, who is a major contributor to PHP. The Windows 95 demo was apparently created in 2015, according to her personal website, but I just found out about it.
OCZ Launches Trion 150, Successor to Trion 100 SATA SSD, Now Using 15nm Flash
Subject: Storage | February 3, 2016 - 03:31 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: Trion 150, toshiba, tlc, ssd, slc, sata, ocz, A15nm
*Note* This piece originally stated 'A15nm', however this was an error in the Trion 150 spec sheet at OCZ. It has been corrected in this article (as well as at the OCZ web site).
2015 was a bit of a rough year for OCZ, as their integration with parent company Toshiba ran into a few performance bumps in the road. First was the Vector 180 launch, which saw some particularly troublesome stalls during writes and TRIM operations. The Trion 100 launch went a bit smoother, but we did note some inconsistencies in caching performance of those TLC/SLC caching SSDs.
OCZ hopes to turn things around by kicking off 2016 with some updates to their product lines. First up is the just announced Trion 150:
Looking at the spec sheets of the Trion 100 and 150, it may be difficult to spot any differences. I'll save you the trouble and say that only *one digit* changes, but it is an important one. The Trion 150 will use Toshiba 15nm TLC flash (the Trion 100 used A19nm). What is interesting about this is that the Trion 150 carries the same endurance rating as its predecessor. A flash memory die shrink typically comes with a corresponding reduction in endurance, so it is good to see Toshiba squeeze this likely last die shrink to their planar flash for all of the endurance they can. Further backing up that endurance claim, the Trion 150 will carry OCZ's ShieldPlus warranty, which offers shipping-paid advance-RMA (without receipt) of this product line for three years!
OCZ has Trion 150 samples on the way to us, and we will get a full performance review of them up as soon as we can! Full press blast follows after the break.

[H]ard|OCP has put together a little guide on improving your Fallout 4 experience with the help of modders and the great people at Nexus Mods. They describe the basics on how to install mods as there are steps you need to follow to ensure your mods successfully apply, whether installed manually or with the Nexus Mod Manager tool. They explore several mods than greatly increase the size of textures, making them much better looking as well as adding weather and storms to the mix. As long as you meet the graphics memory requirements which they mention you should not see much performance degradation when using these mods. Soon Fallout 4 may be meeting or surpassing Skyrim's impressive mod community.
Of course immediately after [H] covered this topic Bethesda released a new patch which enables HBAO+ for all GPUs and extra debris effects specifically for NVIDIA GPUs.
"Fallout 4 has been out for several months and it is possible that you might find the image quality lacking overall. We take some of the most popular and highly downloaded image quality mods and find out how we can improve the environment in Fallout 4. We modify for visual improvements to give you more immersive gameplay."

Next on the list of companies which should know better is Malwarebytes, but it is not as bad as some say
Subject: General Tech | February 3, 2016 - 12:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: security, Malwarebytes
Considering the business that Malwarebytes is in you can expect to see a lot of negative press about a gaping security hole in the near future and while there is a vulnerability it is not as bad as many will make it out to be. The issue lies in that signature updates are done over HTTP and are unsigned, very bad practice but something which would be exploited on a single client connection as opposed to something you could use to create a wide spread infection. The Register links to the Google Project Zero entry which was released today as the vulnerability was first reported to Malwarebytes 90 days ago and has not been addressed on the client side.
The actual concern you should have is that the original bug report also found vulnerabilities on the server side. Malwarebytes did correct the server side issues almost immediately but neglected to follow through on the client side. It is good of them to patch and offer bug bounties but a complete follow through is necessary if you are a security software peddler who wants their reputation to stay intact.
"The antivirus firm says it has addressed server-side vulnerabilities that were reported by Google Project Zero researcher Tavis Ormandy in November. However, security holes remain in the client-side software that runs on people's Windows PCs."

AMD FirePro S-Series Introduces Hardware-Based GPU Virtualization
Subject: Graphics Cards | February 3, 2016 - 02:37 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: virtual machines, virtual graphics, mxgpu, gpu virtualization, firepro, amd
AMD made an interesting enterprise announcement today with the introduction of new FirePro S-Series graphics cards that integrate hardware-based virtualization technology. The new FirePro S1750 and S1750 x2 are aimed at virtualized workstations, render farms, and cloud gaming platforms where each virtual machine has direct access to the graphics hardware.
The new graphics cards use a GCN-based Tonga GPU with 2,048 stream processors paired with 8GB of ECC GDDR5 memory on the single slot FirePro S1750. The dual slot FirePro S1750 x2, as the name suggests, is a dual GPU card that features a total of 4,096 shaders (2,048 per GPU) and 16 GB of ECC GDDR5 (8 GB per GPU). The S1750 has a TDP of 150W while the dual-GPU S1750 x2 variant is rated at 265W and either can be passively cooled.
Where the graphics cards get niche is the inclusion of what AMD calls MxGPU (Multi-User GPU) technology which is derived from the SR-IOV (Single Root Input/Output Virtualization) PCI-Express standard. According to AMD, the new FirePro S-Series allows virtual machines direct access to the full range of GPU hardware (shaders, memory, ect.) and OpenCL 2.0 support on the software side. The S1750 supports up to 16 simultaneous users and the S1750 x2 tops out at 32 users. Each virtual machine is allocated an equal slice of the GPU, and as you add virtual machines the equal slices get smaller. AMD's solution to that predicament is to add more GPUs to spread out the users and allocate each VM more hardware horsepower. It is worth noting that AMD has elected not to charge companies any per-user licensing fees for all these VMs the hardware supports which should make these cards more competitive.
The graphics cards use ECC memory to correct errors when dealing with very large numbers and calculations and every VM is reportedly protected and isolated such that one VM can not access any data of a different VM stored in graphics memory.
I am interested to see how these stack up compared to NVIDIA's GRID and VGX GPU virtualization specialized graphics cards. The difference between the software versus hardware-based virtualization may not make much difference, but AMD's approach may be every so slightly more efficient with the removal of layer between the virtual machine and hardware. We'll have to wait and see, however.
Enterprise users will be able to pick up the new cards installed in systems from server manufacturers sometime in the first half of 2016. Pricing for the cards themselves appears to be $2,399 for the single GPU S1750 and $3,999 for the dual GPU S1750 x2.
Needless to say, this is all a bit more advanced (and expensive!) than the somewhat finicky 3D acceleration option desktop users can turn on in VMWare and VirtualBox! Are you experimenting with remote workstations and virtual machines for thin clients that can utilize GPU muscle? Does AMD's MxGPU approach seem promising?
Blender Foundation Releases Caminandes 3: Lamingos

Tagged: Blender, open-source
The Blender Foundation guides development with a series of first-party short films, each of which are created with open-source software and released under a Creative Commons license. Despite their purpose, to promote open source software and highlight ways to improve Blender, they each have engaging traits that are uncommon in commercial films. Cosmos Laundromat opens with a fairly long shot of a sheep's attempt at hanging itself, while Sintel's ending will make you feel hollow when it reveals its meaning.
This short, Caminandes 3: Lamingos, above, is much lighter than Cosmos Laundromat or Sintel. It has more of the ironic, mischievous cartoon feel of Big Buck Bunny, their second Blender short film. It is about a Llama and a Penguin who are trying to eat some berries; unfortunately, they are both trying to eat the same ones.
The two-and-a-half-minute short film can be downloaded and is free to use under a Creative Commons Attribution license. Its assets are also available, but only under a Blender Cloud subscription.
BitTorrent Talks Encryption, Improved Linux Support For Sync 2.3
Subject: General Tech | February 2, 2016 - 05:11 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: file syncing, encryption, bittorrent sync, bittorrent
BitTorrent continues to support its file sharing and syncing application with the recent release of Sync 2.3.1. The 2.3.x update contains a number of bug fixes for stability, but the important news is the added support for encrypted folders and finally allowing selective file syncing on Linux systems. Additionally, the company put out a short brief on the information they collect and how they are securing your files synced by Sync which is available as a PDF.
Sync 2.3 allows Windows users to run Sync as a service and Android users can move data to and from an SD card from within the app so long as they are running at least Android 5.0 or newer. Linux users also get a bit of love with support for selective file syncing (where you can choose which specific files to download locally and which to keep on the remote peers) though it appears that BitTorrent has limited this feature to its paid Sync Pro tier which is in line with other platforms. According to BitTorrent Inc. among the performance and bug fixes, the biggest UI change is a redesigned process for adding new folders.
On the security and privacy front, BitTorrent claims that it employs several security measures to keep your data safe. First though, the company allegedly only collects benign data including the program version, add folder errors, the amount of data transferred (directly and via relay server), number of peers, and share link and tracker statistics as well as few more things you can see in the brief linked above. All the data that they collect is reportedly sent in the clear so that users can verify what they are collecting on them.
To secure your files, BitTorrent uses SSL and AES-128 encryption to transfer files. In the case of Advanced folders, it generates a X.509 certificate (each folder is given it's own certificate) using a certificate authority and then uses a certificate chain to control user access and file modification permissions as well as a mechanism to revoke access. In the case of encrypted folders, Sync generates storage and session keys with the session keys complying with perfect forwards secrecy standards such that future session keys being cracked does not compromise past sessions. When using the encrypted folders option (which is useful when using a VPS as an off-site backup or to any machine that you do not fully own and control for that matter), data from your local machines is encrypted before being sent to the remote machine using AES 128 bit encryption (I wish they had gone with at least AES-256, but it's something). The data is then sent over SSL. Thus, the data on the remote machine is never in an unencrypted state which is a good thing for having a secure off-site backup. The encrypted folder can still be used as part of the mesh to speed up syncing among your machines, as well, while remaining secure.
I think the encrypted folders are a good addition to Sync, though the encryption bit-ness could be improved (a weak VPS' processor doesn't need to decrypt the data anyway so CPU time needed for the beefier algorithm should not matter...). In past coverage users have mentioned issues when syncing folders that they encrypted themselves before adding to Sync where the data could get corrupted when the peers became confused on changes made and what to sync. Hopefully this will help avoid that though they do still need to work on fixing user chosen pre-sync encryption. I am still using Sync to backup my photos and sync documents between my laptop and desktop and it works well for that sans the storage limits imposed by One Drive (and the uncertainty of my once-promised 25GB of free storage).
What do you think of the changes, and is their security good enough?
The Wraith in action
Subject: Cases and Cooling | February 2, 2016 - 03:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Wraith, fx 8370, amd
By now you should have memorized Josh's look at AMD's new processors and FM2+ motherboards, unfortunately the one thing we were missing was time to test the unit (which totally did arrive, sorry!). TechGage on the other hand did receive an FX 8370 Wraith and had a chance to do some quick tests with this new 95W cooler. There was a slight hitch, the motherboard they used ran the fan at the full 3,000RPM so more audio tests do need to be run however the thermals show great potential as the FX 8370 never surpassed 57C. This indicates with a properly controlled fan header you should be able to reduce the speed and noise generated without seeing troublesome CPU temperatures.
"It's not often that we're treated to a CPU cooler update from AMD, so it was with great interest that we checked out its Wraith in action at last month's CES. We've now been able to poke and prod the cooler over the past week in our lab, and cover everything important about it here. For good measure, we also tackle platform updates."

Never heard of Skyrmions? One day you may have a drive full of them.
Subject: General Tech | February 2, 2016 - 01:36 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: skyrmions
In the search for higher density data storage some rather arcane materials are being studied for their unique magnetic properties. The latest research being conducted is with extremely thin multilayered films, in this specific case iridium-cobalt-platinum films. These materials display the ability to create incredibly small magnetic features called skyrmions, an area where the magnetic field is rotated compared to the surrounding material and can be coerced to appear and disappear. This is the essence of magnetic data storage, on a much smaller scale you see in current storage material. There are certainly a lot of hurdles to overcome, the experiment described at Nanotechweb is the first to form skymirons at room temperature and they used an X-ray source as the write head. It is still quite interesting to read about, even if we are a long way from seeing it considered for use in data storage.
"Researchers in France, Switzerland, the UK and Germany say they have observed nanoscale chiral skyrmions at room temperature for the first time. Skyrmions, which are quasi-particle magnetic spin configurations with a whirling vortex-like structure, could be used to make ultrahigh-density data storage technologies and nanodigital electronic devices with greatly improved data transfer speeds and processing power."

Microfinance & micro-insurance
"The duty of responsible stewardship is very clear, a concept that can be equated to the notions of trust and trusteeship in today's international legal terminology. The obligation to maintain the highest level of integrity in the management of donated resources, and of the institutions benefiting from them, is grounded in our faith."
AKDN works in five Pakistani provinces: Punjab, Baluchistan, Sind, Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral. AKDN's programme in Pakistan is, in experiential terms, the most studied development programme in the Network. Many of the methods employed elsewhere by AKDN agencies, and replicated by other NGOs and governments, were tried first and then refined in Pakistan. AKDN's earliest coordinated area development programme included community mobilisation, infrastructure development, microfinance lending and savings, agricultural programmes that encompass land reclamation, irrigation and forestry, curative health care, preventive community health schemes and world-class medical training, education from pre-primary to postgraduate levels, the introduction of clean-water supplies and sanitation facilities, the construction of mini hydro-electric plants in remote communities, and the restoration of historic buildings, monuments and housing.

Years ago, fairy tales all began with "Once upon

Iowa. That's the answer to a question that growing numbers of scientists, aid workers, reporters, and environmentalists are asking about ethanol and other biofuels. But before we can address the question, it would be helpful to understand what biofuels are and how they are affecting our energy infrastructure.
Like photovoltaics and wind turbines, biofuels are another way to harness power from the sun, but through photosynthesis. Unlike wind turbines and solar photovoltaics, biofuels are easily stored and dispatched as needed, much like oil, coal, and natural gas, making their energy far more valuable.
Before the industrial revolution, biomass materials (i.e., living and recently dead plant material, such as firewood, and biological material, such as dung) were humanity's primary sources of energy.1 The world's first mass-produced flex-fuel

Built In Oven
By Jan
from Amarillo, TX
Comments about KitchenAid 27" Single Electric Wall Oven - Black on Black:
Oven is beautiful & works well.I HATE the noise it makes. It is very loud when its on. (not just the convection oven). I can hear it running at least 2 rooms away from the kitchen. After I turned the oven off, it ran for over an hour to cool down. Just imagine baking something that takes hours - have to listen to it the entire time + the time it takes to cool down. I'm not a happy camper.The only reason I would not recommend this to a friend is because of the noise level!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

27" Oven with room!

Happy with the additional interior space in a 27" wall oven. This is so much of an improvement over the last one!
Great Oven
By Skillet
from Midland, Tx.
My wife and I bought this oven because our old one was going to die in use at any moment. Once it quit we had the new one installed. This oven is great. It has all the bells and whistles you can ask for and works like a charm. Everything we have cooked in it has come out perfect. I wish we would have installed it as soon as we got it.
Love my double oven

I just got it and we installed it before Thanksgiving and I am very happy
Buyer Beware
By Margaret
from Winona, MN
Purchased 12/06/13. First F3F3 error occured 11/2014-dried out and worked until 11/2015 when it happened again. Now it will not work .Company will not do anything since it is past the one year warranty. 2 years old and a lemon.As long you do not cook anything that produces steam you should be fine.
Thankful for KitchenAid
By Music with my feet
from Carrollton, GA
I am a fan of KitchenAid and the fact that they stand behind their products. I am also thankful that they continue to make a quality 27-inch wall oven.
By DR MAC
from HAMBURG NY
It is just what I wanted. Looks great and cooks even better.
Easy to use and beautiful!
By The Force Awakens
from Southern CA
We bought the KitchenAid double wall over about 3 weeks ago. It has easy to use features, looks beautiful and the temperature is right on. Each oven has 3 racks which comes in handy. The fans are on whenever the oven is on although not noisy but are not quiet either. Very happy with this purchase!
Doing great so far
By Susan
from Portland, Oregon
We had to replace our double oven a month ago, and after doing some online research, decided to go with the KitchenAid. Love the sliding shelves and the ease of the control panel.Looking frwd to trying the Thanksgiving turkey with the convection.

So this weekend I've come across intolerance and plain stupidity a lot. First got told that a person with "strange piercings" or visible tats are immature and will never hold a high end business job. Oh and that certain jobs aren't real jobs. So then I go looking through my local bookoo site and find a post about a church. Sounds like things may start to lighten up?? NO!!! They plan on protesting on/near base. This church also holds pickets as they call it for soldier funerals, and claims "God" hates all "fags"( I'm quoting so don't yell at me please, just let me know and I'll change it). Oh topping on this hatred and intolerance pie??? They say that we should be thanking the Colorado shooter and that "God" sent him. I'm done with this weekend. From someone saying that tats are trashy, to this crazy crap. I might just lose it if this pattern continues throughout my week. Oh here's the link, flag it please.
Oh and their website is also in the ad if you would like to torture yourself with stupidity and hatred.

Prosecutors seek psychiatric tests
Updated: August 21, 2009, 6:27 PM ETAssociated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A woman charged with trying to extort $10 million from University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino may be so mentally incompetent that she does not understand the legal proceedings and may not be able to assist in her own defense, federal prosecutors said Friday in asking a judge to order a psychological exam.
In a motion filed in federal court, prosecutors asked U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson to order the exam for Karen Cunagin Sypher, 49, based on "a ...

Open Book: Toronto serves as a hub for all things local and literary year round. They keep you updated on book news, entertain you with videos and photos, and keep you informed about upcoming literary events in and around Toronto.
Every month, Open Book: Toronto features a new Writer-In-Residence who keeps a regular blog and is available to answer your questions.
This review is available in issue 90 of Geist Magazine (Fall 2013).
Brecken Hancock's poetry, essays, interviews, and reviews have appeared in Lemon Hound, The Globe and Mail, Hazlitt, and Studies in Canadian Literature. She is Reviews Editor for Arc Poetry Magazine and Interviews Editor for Canadian Women in the Literary Arts. Her first book of poems, Broom Broom, is out with Coach House Books. She lives in Ottawa.
What is it to press against the norm? To push back against the bullies using language, to be the Steve Urkels of society? In Jon Paul Fiorentino's sixth collection, he sets out to deconstruct the language of pedagogy and what it means to "not fit in."
To get a better understanding of the work, I interviewed JPF via Twitter. For the full interview, including what sandwich he ate that day, check out the hashtag #JPFneedsimprovement (special guest heckling during the interview include Mike Spry, Julie Mannell, Jason Christie and Dina Del Bucchia).
Jon Paul Fiorentino takes his Post-Prairie fascinations, smart-ass inclinations, and pharmaceutically-impaired hipster stand-ins down a decidedly more somber path in his latest collection of poetry, Indexical Elegies.
Throughout April, The Boston Review has been been featuring a poem a day in honour of National Poetry Month.
The penultimate poem for the month is none other than Sina Queyras' "Manual for Remembering," from her groundbreaking new collection, MxT. You can read the poem here.
Jillian Harkness's interview with Stephen Collis and Jordan Scott (on their latest collaboration, Decomp) will appear in The Puritan, Issue 24: Winter 2014.
For the wanderer doesn't bring back from the mountainside
to the valley a handful of earth, unsayable to everyone, but
rather a word gained, a pure word, the yellow and blue
DESIRE TO BE/IN PROXIMITY/TO OKAYNESS: On Sarah Dowling's DOWN by Divya Victor
In which Divya talks about reading DOWN & Sarah Dowling talks about making DOWN, and it is absolutely fantastic. You can get down with DOWN too by reading the article here.
Kristin Hohenadel's Slate article, "Striking Designs From the World's Typewriter Artists," features the first and second panels by the ground-breaking typewriter concrete poetry book by Canadian icon, Steve McCaffery. Not only that, the article describes these panels as "among the most significant pieces of typewriter art ever produced."
Looking for a good start to celebrate Poetry Month? How about a Pair of Poetry Package from two of Canada's most prolific poetry presses?
There are no products in your shopping cart.
Saturday, April 30, 2016, marks the second Canadian Authors for Indies Day, when authors across Canada support independent bookstores by volunteering as guest booksellers and giving readings in store.
Mo' poetry, fewer problems, are we right? That's why for the month of April, we're offering a Poetry Month Bundle, which lets you select any three (print) poetry titles for $45. Need to get inspired about which titles to choose? Browse our offerings.
If you've always wanted to hear André Alexis bring the dog language and poetry in Fifteen Dogs to life, we've got good news: the audiobook version of the Giller-winning novel is now available, read by the author himself!

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Using the Right Investment Tools
(CMG) saw in July when shares tumbled 100 points on the mere suggestion the company may be vulnerable to a weakening U.S. economy.To speculate wisely, Cramer said investors need to use the right rules and maintain their discipline. Speculation can provide investors with enormous gains, he said, but if done incorrectly can yield gut-wrenching losses. When it comes to speculating, most investors look towards stocks under $10 a share. Cramer said there are two kinds of stocks in this category, those with broken companies and those with merely broken stocks that have been left for dead by money mangers that aren't allowed to invest in things under $5 a shares. Investors can take great advantage of the latter, said Cramer. Two great examples of "left for dead" stocks include Ford Motor (F) and Sallie Mae (SLM) back in 2009. During the height of the great recession, both companies were hated by Wall Street, sending shares into the single digits. But beneath all of the skepticism they were solid companies, said Cramer, which is why Sallie Mae was his speculative stock of the year in 2009, when the company's $6 a share stock rose to over $16. In today's market, Cramer said he's a fan of Sprint Nextel (S), a stock that had fallen to just $2 a share on bankruptcy rumors, but since then has more than doubled and isn't done going higher.Cramer told investors to pay close attention to the direction of the earnings estimates anytime they're investing in growth names. When earnings have momentum, companies can see their stock double in just a year, but if the earnings begin to slow, they will fall sharply, as Chipotle Mexican Grill

Im going to be going off to college in about five months and I would like to look good once I get there. Here is some background: When I started lifting (last july) I weighed 140lbs, I was very skinny. I haven't always been skinny, when I was a sophmore I weighed 180, but then I got into sports and exercise, one thing lead to another, and I found myself at a pretty lean 140. Once I learned about bodybuilding (from various boards like this one) I began to bulk, and now I just weighed myself and I was 190lbs. That was after a huge meal, on average I am 185ish.
The thing is I have put on way to much fat during my bulk. At first I was really worried about losing my abs, then when I lost them I was just like "**** it" and I decided to gain some muscle. As it stands now I feel like a fatass, I look lean as far as my face goes, but it is obvious when I take my shirt off that I have somewhat of a gut. It looks even worse because my chest is my worst part by far. Anyway.....
GoalsTo add some muscle and lean up big time before August (when I go to college).
ExecutionI plan on bulking through march and maybe April, maybe even half of may. Then I plan on using a ckd and go from there in terms of cutting (I have never cut whatsover, so I dont know how I will do).

The New Scale Blues
View 1BEARWIFE's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from 1BEARWIFE
Sunday, March 20, 2011
DH brought home a new scale. It is one like they use in the Dr. offices.
I hate it.
Here I thought I was doing so well with the old one.
I knew I was losing, because I can get in to clothes I couldn't a month ago. My inches were down, too. The number on the scale kept dropping too.
Now about this new scale.
It has a balance wheel that you use to make sure it is perfectly balanced before any weight is added to it. Then you get on it.
And CUSS!
Weighing in today on my old scale showed that I lost a pound this week. That is a happy thing.
Then I weighed in on the new scale. Cuss, Cuss, Cuss!
It showed me weighing two pounds more than the old one showed.
Who knows what my weight really was when I first started this thing?!
I sure don't. Not after getting on the new scale today!
I have to believe this new one, because I balanced it myself perfectly before I got on it. I even tried standing differently, leaning from one side to the other, to see if it changed. My old one does that for me.
NOPE! This behemoth stayed steady, no matter what I did to change it.
So now, Sportsfans, I weigh 2 pounds MORE, even though my clothing and the tape measure assure me that I am losing.
But I guess the only thing to do is keep on with Spark, and stay with this hated new, CORRECT scale.
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!!!

You are losing and doing a great job. Those doctor type scales never agree with my opinion of what I weigh either. Just be sure to weight in on the same scales and remember as long as your clothes are fitting and getting looser, you know you are losing...keep up your great work!!! Use that new scale for a coat rack. lol

You ARE losing, my friend--even if that doggone new scale doesn't think it's quite as much as your old one! We have one of those doctor style scales, too, and it annoys the living daylights out of me some days. We have a digital one we use most of the time, but when I really want to be sure I'm getting an accurate weight, I go to the doctor style one--and it usually tells me something I don't want to hear!

Well my scale in the bathroom reads differently than the scales at WW (we swear the leader's scale weighs us heavier than the assistant's scale, but that's a different story). Whatever you do be consistent. If you decide to go with the new scale, then that two pound "gain" will only be for this week, afterwards the losses that you see will be yours. If you go with the old scale then you won't have that one time change. Regardless, your clothes are telling the real story. So is your BP (if you take it), your blood work, or any of the other "non-scale" factors that you choose to track.
I know you've lost weight. You know you've lost weight. It won't be long before your teach "the new guy" that you've lost weight.

Please remember, scales may not weigh you the same, but they will be consistent. I always weigh 10 pounds more at work and 6 pounds more at the doctor's office than I do at home. Weigh on both scales for a few days and see if that isn't true.

One of my other Spark Friends broke up with her Scale today! I will find the blog and send it to you. She wrote the scale a Dear John letter. It was hilarious and is your plight to the T !! Ignore that big ol oaf of a scale and go with your skinny clothes and good looking shape! You have done such a good job! Off to find that blog... be right back...
BACK! Sent it to you via Spark Mail!

Ok, I didn't crash, but almost. And it would have been my fault. Today I rode my first full commute on my fixed gear bike. For over two years I've done the same route on a road bike. On Industrial Blvd near Harbor Blvd. in West Sac. is a really bad diagnol RR crossing. What I always did was hopped the front wheel over the sections and my rear would follow.
Well, today I tried the same strategy on my fixed gear. I'm not sure if my rear wheel got air, or what but something really bad happened. I felt like my bike suddenly turned part bronco and decided to try and throw me off. My left clip came undone, and the pedal smacked me in the ankle. The whole thing pushed me forward and I just barely manage to maintain control.
This particular track is very wide, very deep and very diagonal. There's no shoulder and even if I take the lane and try to cross it at 90 degrees, I can't.
So how do I get around this track. If I slow way down, then I can't really take the lane safely. I don't mind slowing, but if I did and went straight across (straight in relation to the road, not the tracks) would I be Ok crossing? Can I hop my front wheel if I slow down?

Mrs Dalloway

Mrs Dalloway Isolation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Section.Paragraph)
Quote #10
Miracles, revelations, agonies, loneliness, falling through the sea, down, down into the flames, all were burnt out, for he had a sense, as he watched Rezia trimming the straw hat for Mrs Peters, of a coverlet of flowers (5.109)
Septimus has a vision of bursting into flames. Even sitting in the calm of his room watching Rezia work, he feels completely alone and is disturbed by visions of death.
