DevOps tends to focus on the relationship between Dev and Ops, putting an emphasis on the ops and application infrastructure. But that's changing with microservices architectures. In her session at DevOps Summit, Lori MacVittie, Evangelist for F5 Networks, will focus on how microservices are changing the underlying architectures needed to scale, secure and deliver applications based on highly distributed (micro) services and why that means an expansion into "the network" for DevOps.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Providing secure, mobile access to sensitive data sets is a critical element in realizing the full potential of cloud computing. However, large data caches remain inaccessible to edge devices for reasons of security, size, format or limited viewing capabilities. Medical imaging, computer aided design and seismic interpretation are just a few examples of industries facing this challenge. Rather than fighting for incremental gains by pulling these datasets to edge devices, we need to embrace the i...

Web Real-Time Communication APIs have quickly revolutionized what browsers are capable of. In addition to video and audio streams, we can now bi-directionally send arbitrary data over WebRTC's PeerConnection Data Channels. With the advent of Progressive Web Apps and new hardware APIs such as WebBluetooh and WebUSB, we can finally enable users to stitch together the Internet of Things directly from their browsers while communicating privately and securely in a decentralized way.

The 41 dBu UHF signal contours, the 28 dB VHF-LO signal contours, and the 36 dBu VHF-HI (channels 7-13) signal contours are just a general idea of what to expect, reception-wise, from a broadcast digital station as shown on the FCC signal maps; those are the minimum amounts of signal the FCC says you need to properly decode them. In actuality, as you all know, terrain and other factors contribute positively or negatively to the quality of the signal you get from a station.
When a station submits a broadcast coverage area map to the FCC for consideration, it uses a calculation known as the Longley-Rice method. This method bases the signal strength coverage of a station on the following factors:
For the broadcasting station:
1. Height of broadcast antenna
2. Power of the transmitter
3. Any "nulls" required by the transmitter to protect other stations
For the broadcast receiver:
4. Any terrain in the way between you and the transmitter
5. A "proper" receiving antenna up 30' in the air, without amplification
6. 50' of complete copper RG-6 cable from the antenna to the receiver
What is NOT considered in Longley-Rice maps:
1. Weather conditions, which can substantially extend or reduce the broadcast area at any given time
2. Interference from buildings, including multipath and signal blocking
3. Interference from electrical sources or anything else for that matter
4. Attic installations, which reduces signal strength by at least 50% in most cases
5. Antennas larger or smaller than "proper"
6. Signal amplifiers/preamplifiers placed on antenna systems
Having said that, a site came online back in 2007 that helps you determine signal strength via Longley-Rice maps, and they are updated frequently at Andy Lee's great site:
All but two full-power stations here in the Chicago TV market broadcast on UHF. WWTO-DT broadcasts physically on channel 10; their PSIP data also shows 35.X as their channel number. WBBM-DT, once a hard-to-get analog and digital station, became much easier to get when they moved to channel 12 and at nearly double their power. They came from channel 3, which was subject to much interference.
The problem is that a standard UHF antenna likely cannot get these two channels. Thankfully, a relatively easy solution for many people is at hand.
You need to have a VHF-HI/UHF "combination" antenna. This type of antenna picks up channels 7-13, as well as channels 14-51. Close in, less than 30 miles away, depending on your line-of-sight to Sears Tower, a pair of "rabbit ears" with a "loop" UHF antenna MIGHT be all you need. If not, you'll need something stronger. People have reported success with indoor antennas such as this all the way out to Joliet, but beyond I-294, it will be a tougher go. Also, WWTO-DT has their transmitter very near Starved Rock State Park in Ottawa, IL, so it is quite far away from downtown and therefore very hard to get near the inner city.
Here are some *suggested* antennas for picking up all VHF-HI channels (note, this is NOT an endorsement, in any way, of any of these products; I may have used some of them, but I *personally* trust these brands, even if I haven't tried the model), and for picking up WBBM.
Suburbs out to route 59:
Winegard HD7082p
Suburbs beyond route 59 to Kenosha County, or DeKalb, or to past Kankakee, or to Renssalaer, IN, or to Laporte county, IN:
Winegard HD7084p
Winegard HD8200p (better for outdoor use, sturdier than 7084p)
Channelmaster 4228HD
With these on a rooftop at 30 miles, reception out to 70 miles should be decent. Exception: WBBM-DT has a slight null to the east, so range may be a little less.
For indoor antennas, these are good articles:

William Hepburn's Tropo forecast!
Want to get out of market stations? If this forecast based on weather computer models is reasonably correct, areas shaded in the appropriate colors
will be active. If the general area of tropo is oriented more west-east, watch for Quad Cities, Rockford, and South Bend stations. If towards the northeast, watch for Milwaukee and Grand Rapids. In either case, it isn't foolproof, but if you're in a color beyond just weak tropo, keep an eye out!

Back on December 19, 2007, I had the unexpected opportunity to install an HDTV for a fellow church member on the far northeast side of DeKalb. A few months earlier, to improve his reception and prepare him "someday" for an over-the-air digital converter box, I added a ChannelMaster 7777 preamplifier. He has a VHF/UHF Winegard combo antenna on a 30' tower using RG-6 cable except for a 2' RG-59 jumper; it's about 15 years old, and only the VHF portion of the antenna is used. It's diplexed with a ChannelMaster 4228 UHF antenna, installed at the same time, pointed at Rockford. I warned him: with all but two Chicago stations currently on UHF, and with the UHF antenna pointed at Rockford, most Chicago stations won't come in. And, WBBM-DT will be a no-show until 2009, and WWTO-DT from Utica, IL on channel 10 (just southeast of Starved Rock State Park) won't come in, because he is due north of the station by 45 miles, with the antenna pointed east towards Chicago. He can also lock PSIP on Milwaukee's FOX station on channel 33, even with a low power 33 in Rockford (and the antenna pointed at Rockford, of course)!
What I didn't know was that he decided to buy an HDTV that I recommended to him with an apparent 6th generation tuner. And after a Bible study, I found myself up late into the evening putting in the TV, and then checking out the reception, which blew me away!
From ~55 miles out, he has a rock-solid lock on WBBM-DT. When I mean rock-solid, the signal strength is 4 bars out of 4 on his new Initial brand HDTV! He has NO impulse noise breakups, except during a thunderstorm on December 22nd, when they occurred "one every great once in a while". And 3.5 bars out of 4 on WWTO-DT! All Rockford and most Chicago stations come in, but he cannot lock WYCC-DT and WCIU-DT. This is from major analog interference from two high-powered analogs in Madison, WI causing the inability to lock. He can lock all the other Chicago stations just fine.
Then, I got a report this morning from another gentleman who did an HD install near Elburn. With lots of electrical interference and snow on WBBM-TV analog, he, too, was still able to lock in WBBM-DT solid! It reportedly left him amazed, to say the least!
Up until now, I haven't had experience with 6th gen tuners, but had heard of their extreme sensitivity. Most DTV tuners need a signal to noise ratio of 20:1 to have a solid lock; go down to 19:1, and the picture breaks up. 15.7:1 is the theoretical limit, and these tuners reportedly go right up to it! This is not trivial: the improvement from signal reception alone is 66%+! Plus, the tuner chip features slightly to somewhat improved performance from interference and multipath, causing an even greater improvement! Those of you who are thinking about getting a second or third HDTV or your first one...and plan to use OTA reception...5th or 6th generation tuners are a must, in my mind (every tuner I know out there sold these days is at least 5th gen). But for WBBM reception, I now strongly recommend a TV with a 6th gen tuner. Those absolutely known to have it are:
1. All LG HDTVs that are 2007 models and later (note: Insignia brand HDTV's, made by LG, and sold exclusively at Best Buy, still only have 5th gen tuners!)
2. All LG/Zenith DTV digital converter boxes that are "coupon approved" by the FCC DTV converter box coupon program
3. All Mitsubishi 2008 HDTV models
Since most HDTV's use LG made tuners (they hold the patent), look for 6th gen tuners to sprout in off-brand and other name-brand models. I cannot confirm 100% the Initial branded TV having it, but the reception is way beyond anything I have ever seen. And if you want WBBM-DT reception, there are still no guarantees...but it substantially increases your chances of getting it with these latest generation tuners.
With a 30' high large antenna and amplifier, when WBBM goes high power on 12 and WLS goes high power on 7 in 2009, you'll be able to get both these stations, I'm thinking, in Rockford, and maybe beyond with a 6th gen tuner!
First, a general signal strength map from the FCC:
And a breakdown of distance and direction by channel:
WBBM-TV/DT 2.1: WBBM-TV analog stayed on until noon on 6/12/09. At noon, they changed to channel 12 from their channel 3 slot. They are using the old WTTW-TV analog antenna, and installed a new transmitter.
WMAQ-TV/DT 5.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at noon. The digital channel was completely built out and at full power on channel 29, so there were no changes there.
WLS-TV/DT 7.1: Flash-cut from channel 52 to channel 7 on 6/12/09 at noon, using 4.75 kw of power.
But, they had severe reception problems. In November, they went to channel 44, at roughly 300 kw of power, but will boost to 373 kw of power, and maybe more, in 2010 and beyond.
WGN-TV/DT 9.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at 11:59:59 pm. The digital channel was completely built out and at full power on channel 19, but dropped power to 600 kw (a roughly 50 kw drop) so that it can go 150' higher on Sears Tower in 2010.
WTTW-TV/DT 11.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at 5:59 AM. The digital channel was completely built and at full power on channel 47, so no changes there.
WYCC-TV/DT 20.1: They shut off on 4/16/09. The digital channel is completely built out and at full power on channel 21, so no changes there.
WCIU-TV/DT 26.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at 11:59:40 pm. The digital channel stays on channel 27, but boosts power to 500 kw in 2010.
WFLD-DT 32.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 in terms of programming but continued until June 26 as a "night light". The digital channel is completely built out and at full power on channel 31.
WWTO-DT 35.1: They shut down on 4/16/09. They will move their digital broadcast antenna to the top of their tower, once the analog broadcast antenna is removed in summer. They
will go to 80 kw at roughly 1400' sometime in 2010.
WCPX-DT 38.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at noon. The digital channel is completely built and they did a slight power increase on channel 43.
WSNS-DT 44.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at 11:59:59 PM. The digital channel is built out on channel 45, but they will be going to 660 kw in 2010.
WPWR-DT 50.1: The analog signal shut down on 6/12/09 at 11 PM; the digital channel is completely built and at full power on channel 51, so no changes there.
WYIN-DT 56.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at 11:59:59 PM. The digital channel is completely built and at full power on channel 17, so no changes there.
WXFT-DT 60.1: They shut down on 6/12/09 at midnight. They went from channel 59 to channel 50, and increased power to 230 kw.
WJYS-DT 62.1: They shut the analog station down on 6/12/09 at 11:59:59 PM. The digital channel is built out on channel 36. However, they will go to a much less directional antenna, and increase power to 145 kw later in 2010.
WGBO-DT 66.1: They moved to channel 38 at 11 PM, and will go to 600 kw later in 2009.
Enjoy, and welcome back to our discussion of all things Chicago-OTA!
Nice job so far - at least it'll help centralize this info.
One suggestion: can you post the broadcast resolution (e.g. 720p) next to each channel listed? That question usually comes up from newbies.
- Frank
While I may link to and mention products as examples, I don't recommend specific products.
I'm in downtown Chicago between the hancock and the sears and have had a real annoying time with the signals and lately it's gotten even worse.
I'm at the corner of Illionis and McClurg using two small antennas like the "AUDIOVOX - audiovox directional indoor uhf/vhf hdtv "
I placed them both in my cieling and ran some fairly cheap cables back to my HD TV. joining them together before running down my wall.
Here is my review
CBS- Patchy - WAS GOOD BEFORE, but has gotten worse now.
FOX-NOTHING, had service, but I lost it a couple weeks ago
I'm getting frustrated, but still not enough to call RCN
I'm sure their is more information needed to help, but let me know and I'll provide more information.
Thanks for any help

Thanks everybody! And thanks to Cpanther for letting me do this. That was way cool! By request above, I did add the resolution (1080i, 720p, 480i) to each channel and subchannel. And I cleaned up some typos, spelling errors, poor grammar, and other goodies since I had to do this in a hurry. If you see anything wrong, please let me know, and I'll fix it ASAP.
Now let's get started! Mudba says:
Hello All.

Sounds like those cheap cables are doing you in. Because you are so close to the towers, interference and bad weather, and signal from the stations themselves may be sneaking into that cheap cable. Especially where you are, you need to use the best RG-6 quad-shielded cable possible. Signal strength will not be an issue for you.
Second, where you are, you are probably getting severe "multipath". On analog TV, that shows up as "ghosts". Tuners don't like that at all. Try to put the antenna as close to an outside wall to minimize them.
While I may link to and mention products as examples, I don't recommend specific products.
Keep up with the good work!
CPanther95, Yes, indeed Gilbert did a nice well done job and updating the info and thanks to you for suggesting and letting Gilbert to renew the Chicago-OTA thread
I would like to make a motion to nominate Gilbert to be a Special Contribution Member to the new Chicago-OTA thread.
All other member on the Chicago-OTA has been helpful too and I thank them also, but Gilbert has put a lot of time and work on this new thread and been helpful on the old thread on his own time.
Gilbert, Nice work on the new Chicago-OTA thread. May I suggest adding analog & digital channel number in the post #3. So if new person moves in the Chicago area will know. Maybe also adding that all station will stay at the now assign digital channel and highlight with different color of they going to different channel after 2-17-09 analog shutdown just like you have now for the WBBM going to ch 11 VHF-high and WLS back to 7 VHF-high.
Keep up with the good work!
Hi Willie,
Thanks! Actually, I do have the analog numbers in there in parenthesis, with a "-1" after it. I could separate it, but it is redundant and could be confusing. As for highlighting it...good idea, but that will take time. Very busy this week. Keep the suggestions and comments coming!
You are, of course, correct I just went by what the psip reported and didn't pay attention to the content. There is a signal on .5 and .6 but they appear to be mirroring qubo and ION Life, respectively.
Now let's get started! Mudba says:

Hello All. Wow you guys are good. I purchased a 50 Foot quad shield cable tonight and played with my antenna placement again. Here is an update with the number of bars my TV says it's receiving
CBS- 4 BARS -PICTURE IS STABLE - Much Better
NBC- 4 BARS -PICTURE IS STABLE - Same
ABC- 3 BARS - 90% STABLE -Slight downgrade than before
WGN-0 Bars. Nothing Coming in - SAME
FOX - 2 Bars - 90-95% Improvmeant - Much Better
I'm still have two antennas in my cieling and have some RCN issued coax cable going from the combiner to each antenna. These cables are less than 3 feet long each. Do you think changing these cables out will make a difference?
I'm almost scared to mess with it anymore

Yep. Severe multipath is likely causing the problems for you on WGN. WLS is coming in less strongly because it was likely getting a little signal through your leaky coax! Replace the short cables if they are "cheap". Then, your job is to remember where the antenna is now, and play with it to see what offers you the best signal, now that you are using good cable.
Are they going bye-bye, or are they just not listed because there's no official word yet?

This beautiful little chandelier added that special touch to our newly redecorated bathroom.
My "princess" light
I would order again. We have two. Love love love!
I bought this for my teen's room. She loves it!
Purchased three of these for my shop and they're perfect! I would buy these for any place you need a little bling and for their pretty illumination on anything surrounding them.
Put this chandelier in my daughter's shabby chic bedroom for additional light. It was so easy to hang and is absolutely beautiful! I'm so pleased!
I put this in our baby girls nursery and it adds so much beauty to the room.
Its hanging in our bedroom. I redone the bedroom in bling and sparkles. I added the swag chandelier and it topped off my sparkle comforter. Its just beautiful.
I bought this Chandelier for my boyfriends sister. She is having her FIRST baby girl and was talking about getting a chandelier for her baby girls nursery. When she opened the Chandelier she LOVED it! She had her husband install it that night! She took pictures and sent it to me and it really pulled the nursery all together!!! I highly recommend this product! BEAUTIFUL and budget friendly!
I hung this over my tub, it's beautiful but I wish I bought one a bit bigger. This item has a plug so you don't have to hard wire it. It is not compatible with the can light conversation because the size of the screws are not the same. I put old fashion lights in it and it's so pretty!
We bought this for my daughter's bedroom (11x16). The chandelier is so beautiful, much prettier than the picture! We were also happy with the amount of light the chandelier gave off. Very happy with this purchase!
I used it in a large bathroom for
decore and it worked really well!!!
Used this a secondary lighting in a 15x17 foot bedroom. It gives me the lighting I needed to brighten the room as well as looking much more expensive than it was. I had to use the sway (terrific that there is an option for both uses) as there is no ceiling fixture in the room. I only had one complaint - the switch is at the bottom of the wire where it plugs into the wall so I have to bend over to turn it on - not a horrible complaint. I also don't know what to do with the ground wire that is to be used when it's hardwired into the ceiling. It's sort of stuffed behind and not really noticable as it's hanging in a corner. Overall - if you're not sure, go for it. It's really lovely.
This is a beautiful swag lamp! Quality construction! This lamp will add a splash of style to any area of your home!
We spent hours looking for the right Chandelier for my teenage daughter's room. This couldn't be more perfect. We have this at the top of the staircase to her 3rd floor teen-suite. Gives off great light and looks fantastic! Well made, bright and cheery. Would definitely recommend.
I decided to put this in my master walk-in closet and WOW! What a nice addition.
Beautiful. Makes my daughter's room look so elegant. Great for low ceilings.
I love this chandelier so much! I bought two of them to put in a house from the 30's. They look so beautiful! [...]
Used as wedding decor.
We purchased this chandelier for the small dressing area in our master bedroom. It's sophisticated and fits perfectly in the small space. This was our first time installing a light fixture. We used the conversion kit and found the instructions relatively easy to follow.
Before we installed light bulbs.

We were looking for a mini crystal chandelier to hang in our new wedding planning office (basement room), more for ambiance and decor. Out of the box, we were at first skeptical about the quality of the finishing (clear mini beads looked like plastic), however once we hardwired it into the ceiling and turned on the lights, it MAGICALLY transformed into a high end looking chandelier where the crystals really sparkled! It perfectly suits our office and budget, as it was difficult to find a quality chandelier of this style under $200. It would look gorgeous in any small bedroom or living space if you are looking for secondary lighting or have alot of natural light. We ended up removing the chain link swag, as the look of it detracted from the appearance we were going for. Still very easy to install, the two of us ladies were able to do it with minimal fuss.
I installed this in my wife's walking closet to add decor and provide much better illumination. She loves it!
Hung this in my 5 year old granddaughter's bedroom over a little table she uses for tea parties & home work. Absolutely beautiful & very elegant looking. Gives off a nice amount of light. Very nice & so easy to hang.
Beautiful addition to my teenage daughter's room, delicate craftsmanship. She is over the top as are her friends. Great price!
It looks very beautiful in my house.
I've looked for over a year for the perfect size and price for a bathroom chandelier - this is perfect - would also be great for any small area. I had it installed in the ceiling rather than plug in - looks amazing.
Beautiful - got it for my daughters shabby chic bedroom.
I bought this chandelier to hang over a bedside table in a room that I just redone for my granddaughters. I loved the ease of having a plug-in chandelier. I actually hung it from a plant hanger that I attached to the wall and it worked great. Beautiful addition to the room. Perfect for an accent piece.
This is a beautiful smaller chandelier. We actually are using this in our Jewelry Store. For the price, you cannot beat it!

I hung this chandelier in my daughters room. It was the perfect finishing touch. I looked everywhere and this was definitely the best price for the product! I liked it so much I bought in black for my other daughters room.
I was looking for accent lighting to put in my retail flower shop. I ordered two of these lights. When they arrived I was delighted to see how well they were constructed, very solid and beautifully detailed (photo does not do it justice). The illumiation is wonderful for the size and they truly look expensive.
I ordered a third after receiving these I was so happy with them.

Antoninetti v. Chipotle
Walter Olson calls our attention to this week's Ninth Circuit decision Antoninetti v. Chipotle, where a panel including Judge Reinhardt ruled that Chipotle's business model of allowing customers watch their burritos being made at 45-inch-high counters violated the ADA because the counters were too high for those in wheelchairs to watch. (Chipotle instead would take ingredients to a customer's table, and even let the wheelchair-bound taste them from serving cups.)
Objectionable enough (it's far from clear how Chipotle can accommodate the wheelchair-bound to the Ninth's satisfaction while both observing health and OSHA codes and permitting customers to view their food being made), but the appellate court was especially activist in overruling the finding of fact of the district court that there was no need for an injunction because there was no irreparable injury to the plaintiff, who specialized in bringing ADA suits:
The [district] court found that Antoninetti had failed to show irreparable injury because he had not revisited either restaurant after Chipotle adopted its written policy and because his "purported desire to return to the [r]estaurants is neither concrete nor sincere or supported by the facts." It also stated that Antoninetti's "history as a plaintiff in accessibility litigation supports this Court's finding that his purported desire to return to the [r]estaurants is not sincere. Since immigrating to the United States in 1991, Plaintiff has sued over twenty business entities for alleged accessibility violations, and, in all (but one) of those cases, he never returned to the establishment he sued after settling the case and obtaining a cash payment."

Looking to expand on my photo services and client base. I got this idea while on jury duty as one of the other jurors had their business broken into while on jury duty.
How often have you heard that you should photograph and catalog your possessions at home that are of significant value either money wise or due to being sentimenal? But who wants to spend their day taking pictures, burning CD's (or DVD's) of the images?
That's where I want to help. I'd be willing to travel to your place, take all the pictures that are needed, burn them to DVD or CD right there and give you two copies of the disks, one to keep at home and the other in an alternate safe location. After we verify that the disks work on your PC, I would right there in front of you delete the images from my memory card so that you know I did that in order to give you some piece of mind.
The cost is what I'm working on right now, but thinking of a mileage + modest fee type of structure.

ARM Holdings, the leading developer of low-power microprocessor technologies, on Thursday introduced its new Cortex-A15 MPCore processor, code-named Eagle, that offers five times performance improvement over today's advanced smartphone processors, within a comparable energy footprint. The company also added a number of server-specific technologies to compete in low-power server space. Still, the processors feature 32-bit architecture with all its limitations.
Cortex A15 processor running at up to 2.5GHz will enable highly scalable solutions within constantly shrinking energy, thermal and cost budgets. The Cortex-A15 processor is available for licensing today and is targeted at manufacture in 32nm, 28nm, and future geometries. The Cortex-A15 extends the capabilities of the Cortex-A-series by adding efficient hardware support for OS virtualization, soft-error recovery, larger memory addressability and system coherency. The Cortex A15 MPCore processor brings a new level of performance scalability as well as a feature set that enables ARM partners to address a range of innovative and traditional markets with a single processor architecture.
ARM positions the code-named Eagle processor for next-generation smartphones, tablets, large-screen mobile computing and high-end digital home entertainment devices through to wireless base-stations and enterprise infrastructure products. Still, considering the fact that ARM's Cortex A15 MPCore is still 32-bit, it cannot support over 4GB of memory, a crucial feature of modern servers.
ARM showed off illustrations of the core deployed in clusters of four CPUs sharing a unified L2 cache, and two of these clusters linked by the previously-announced AMBA-4 bus architecture, reports EETimes web-site.
"The operational and economic benefits of cloud computing will transform the high-tech industry over the next decade. Everything from the handheld devices to the network infrastructure will require more performance and efficiency to handle the increasing amounts of information that will emerge from the use of remote resources," said Jim McGregor, Chief Technology Strategist at In-Stat.
Collaborative differentiation through partnership continues to be the main driver of the ARM business model and the launch of the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor is the result of ARM's work with lead licensee partners Samsung, ST Ericsson and Texas Instruments, who were key drivers of the definition of the processor, ensuring it meets the key challenges faced by the industry.
The Cortex-A15 MPCore processor will be supported by specifically optimized ARM Physical IP that was developed jointly with the processor. These optimizations enable rapid development of physical implementations, initially targeting 32nm and 28nm technologies with a roadmap extending to 20nm. The company has indicated potential partners to produce the Cortex-A15: Globalfoundries, IBM and Samsung Electronics; apparently, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will, at least initially, not make the A15-based chips.

The rumours that Advanced Micro Devices cannot ship enough six-core AMD Phenom II X6 "Thuban" microprocessors already showed up last month. But this week they resurrected as mainboard makers are now complaining that their latest products are not selling well due to shortages of AMD's latest chip.
Thanks to relatively affordable price, high performance, excellent prospects and TurboCore dynamic overclocking technology, AMD Phenom II X6 central processing units (CPUs) are very popular on the channel market these days. Considering that enthusiasts who buy the "latest and greatest" microprocessors also acquire latest mainboards based on the AMD 800-series chipsets, the demand towards the latter also increased.
Unfortunately, the shortage of six-core processor has affected the sales of AMD 800-series chipsets motherboards and has also impacted its own plans, reports DigiTimes web-site.
Due to recovery of the global economy, both AMD and Intel Corp., the two main suppliers of microprocessors in the world, are in tight supply of certain CPU models. Still, provided that the yields of the six-core code-named Thuban chips are high enough, it is a good news for AMD that the demand towards its premium microprocessors is increasing.
AMD did not comment on the news-story.

The Big Dog
This picture caught my eye while I was perusing the Makezine: The builder, Tom Wilson, explains it beautifully, as "A wonderfully impractical assemblage of bicycle, go-cart, and golf-cart pieces and parts, drainage pipe, steel tubing, and patio chairs. This four-wheel vehicle allows four passengers to travel in minor discomfort at speeds approaching a brisk walk, for relatively short distances, on completely flat terrain."
The "Big Dog" is Tom's entry in Make's Maker Faire in Detroit. What I love about the job Tom's done here is not only the end result, which looks amazing, well-done, and awesome (that's L-I-V-I-N'), he's also thoroughly documented his design and the build process on his website. He's got a great sense of humor about his contraption and his hobby. Check it: http://www.thirstybeachlandscaping.com/quadbike/page25.html

Table Coverings And Tables
When I grew up at home we had a table with sort of a Formica top. Most of the time Grandma did not bother to cover it. When company came she put on one of her table cloths. The table cloths were made of a thick cotton material. When they got dirty they had to be washed and ironed.
After the company left we used a table cloth until it was dirty. After each meal we had to take everything off the table and shake out the crumbs.
I loved Grandma's table cloths. They were so colorful that they made the kitchen cheery. When the house was sold after both of my grandparents were gone I got several of the table cloths. Most of them were square so I could only use them if my kitchen table was closed to its smallest size. The same was true for the dining room table. Mostly I used them for decoration.
I need to say here that I am now on my third kitchen table and my second dining room set. I realized as I read through this that it was rather confusing.
My mother-in-law crocheted an oblong table cloth for us as a wedding gift. I used that all the time on my feudal oak dining room set. When we traded the old set for a new oak set, I put that table cloth away because it did not fit very well on the new table. That made me sort of sad because I knew my mother-in-law put a lot of work into her gift.
The table we used in the trailer first was small. It was really made for two. We received it as a gift from my grandparents for our wedding. It was a perfect size for a trailer kitchen. It was sturdy and served many purposes. It was my painting surface, my sewing surface, and my baking surface. There are some home movies of the children climbing up on the chairs to "help" me make cookies. Mostly they liked to lick the bowl when I had all the ingredients added in.
Once the children were able to sit at the table I had to find a bigger one. I found an old set at a second-hand shop. It was all wood with four chairs. That was perfect for our family at that time. The top was not water proof, so I bought some oil cloth to cover it. Do you remember when the stores had rolls of oil cloth? Now, it is very hard to find. Once in a while I see it in Amish country.
When I put "oil cloth fabric" into the search engine I found a number of sources. I also found out it is still sold by the yard and you can actually order tablecloths. As usual, it does not have to be available locally to still be available. The Internet is a convenient market place.
I found fruit patterns, checkered patterns, camouflage, chalk friendly, stripes, polka dots and even animal prints. One source told me their fabric was imported from Mexico. The Vermont Country Store had quite an assortment of fabrics and table cloths.
The other thing I remember making with oil cloth was a "sit-upon." We made those in Girl Scouts and filled them with crinkled up paper. As long as you sewed the seams well they did not leak so they worked well at camp.
That wooden table I mentioned earlier moved to Hickory Heights with us. We used it until my grandfather had my present table refinished. When I put an ad for the table into the newspaper I got an offer from a restaurant that was revamping its dining room. They wanted only the table. That was alright with me since the chairs went well with my new table. The table that I use now used to be my great-grandparents' table from my grandfather's side of the family. It has a history, but that is another story.
Now, I seldom use a table cloth – except for the holidays. I have made several of them to fit my new dining room set. The kitchen table now has a polyurethane finish so I no longer have to cover it. I do use place mats to set a festive table. I have received several sets as gifts.
Today everything is convenience. It is easier than ever to wash clothes in our automatic washers and dryers, yet we use as little extra as we possibly can. We would never think of hauling out the old table linens that used to be the norm. Even at church we have gone to the plastic lace table cloths. I must say I was happy yesterday after brunch to just be able to wash the thing off and not have to carry it home to wash and iron.
When my son and his wife married we used lacy plastic cloths on the tables so we had quite a collection of them. The store where I used to find them is long gone, so I am not sure where you can get them at this point. That is the way life goes. You get used to using something, then, it is no longer available.
Maybe it is time to re-think things. If I can get my hands on some oil cloth I just might order a couple of cloths. It would give my kitchen the country flavor and brighten up my table.

Bataan veterans remembered
June 7, 2006
Cannon Air Force Base held a dedication ceremony Tuesday for a memorial to the U.S. soldiers involved in the Bataan Death March during World War II.
In April 1942, 75,000 U.S. and Filipino POWs were forced by Japanese troops to march 65 miles to Camp O'Donnell after the Battle of the Philippines. The POWs were randomly beaten and killed by the Japanese, were denied food and water for several days, and underwent torture such as "sun treatment," where they were forced to sit silently in the humid April sun without water or shade, according to Wikipedia.org.
Many soldiers from New Mexico were victims of the march, and four of the survivors were honored at the ceremony at Cannon: Lee Roach, Buren Johnston, Irven Butler and Louis Herring.
"I really appreciate what Cannon has done to get this memorial for us," said Roach, who grew up 40 miles west of Clovis and worked at Cannon for 26 years after returning from World War II. Roach was a member of the 200th Coast Artillery.
Butler, a member of the 200th Coast Artillery, weighed under 100 pounds when he was rescued — about 75 pounds under his weight when he began with the artillery.
He was honorably discharged in 1946, and returned to Portales where he worked on a farm. Butler later worked as a groundskeeper with the Portales school system, and retired in 1982.
Johnston, a member of the 200th Coast Artillery, was honorably discharged in 1946 and returned to Clovis.
Capt. Kenneth Artz of Cannon and chairman of the memorial committee told the story of the Bataan Death March and explained the hardships that the POWs went through and the harsh conditions of the march, such as starvation and the "sun treatment" torture.
The memorial is a stone map of the march with brown markers following the route of the march and stars representing the beginning and end. The memorial lists the service members who participated in the Bataan Death March and gives the history behind the event.
The memorial ceremony was concluded by base commander Col. Scott West and the four march survivors cutting the ribbon in front of the memorial.
"This is an extremely well-deserved memorial for the extreme sacrifices made by all the service members who took part in the Bataan Death March," said Staff Sgt. Craig Seals, a public affairs officer for CAFB's 27th Fighter Wing.

Two phones were launched recently: Amazon's Fire phone and Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi's Mi3 (in India). While I learned about Amazon's Fire phone from the article "Teardown.com: Amazon Brings Fire to Phone Market" by Joel Martin published on this site, I came know about Xiaomi's Mi3 phone from a news. The news was about the online shopping portal Flipkart.com through which Xiaomi was selling Mi3 had crashed a couple of days back due to a rush in order booking for Mi3. When I heard about the features and the price, I became tempted too. The Mi3 phone was priced at Rs 14999/- (~USD 249) in India!
When I learned that Amazon had priced its Fire at USD 649, I was curious about making a comparison of features of Xiaomi's Mi3 vs Amazon's Fire phone. When the specs were kept side by side, I was convinced that there are no major differences except that the Fire phone offers double the FLASH size as compared to Mi3, where as Mi3 has some other advantages over Fire:
From the Amazon Fire teardown article I learned that the Bill of Material (BoM) cost of Amazon's Fire phone is ~USD 209. From the specification comparison, it could be inferred that Xiaomi's Mi3 would also have similar BoM cost. If this assumption were valid, I was wondering how Xiaomi could manage to sell Mi3 at USD 249 with such as small margin. Any idea?

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993)
Coinage Context
Die work: At the Philadelphia Mint in the latter part of 1886 or early 1887, when 1887-dated dies were being prepared, a number of 1886 dies were partially resurfaced and then punched with 1887 dates, creating overdates now known among 1887 and 1887-O dollars.
Numismatic Information
Background: The 1887/6-O overdate was discovered by professional numismatist Bob Riethe in 1972, a year after Ted F. Clark's discovery of the Philadelphia version. Little attention was paid to the 1887/6-0 in the early years, but beginning with the dissemination of information from the Van Allen-Mallis book, and, more recently, the Fivaz-Stanton guide, interest has increased sharply.
The overdate is not as sharp as the 1887/6 Philadelphia coins, and in later states is very faint and quite difficult to immediately discern. The best advice for the collector is to cherrypick for quality and seek an early die impression.
Probably many regular 1887-O coins await identification as overdates, as the variety has not been widely publicized. However, like its Philadelphia Mint counterpart, it has been listed in the Guide Book for several editions.
Circulated grades: Most known examples of the 1887/6-O are in worn grades, and these are somewhat scarce. As noted, many 1887-O dollars have not been checked for the overdate feature. In addition, this feature may not be discernible on lower grade coins. Probably 7,500 to 15,000 or more worn pieces exist.
Mint State grades: Most Mint State coins are in lower grades such as MS-60, MS-61, and MS-62, and are average or below average strikes. Probably at least 1,000 survive at this plateau. A group of 400 Mint State coins, nearly all of which were in lower levels of preservation, surfaced at the 1977 American Numismatic Association convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Probably most of these are widely dispersed today. At the MS-63 position I estimate that 300 to 600 remain, a population which drops precipitously to just 60 to 120 in MS-64 and to possibly none (but in any event surely not more than 10) in MS-65 or better condition. As more and more Mint State 1887-O dollars are examined for the overdate feature, the true rarity will become more evident.
The PCGS tour of silver dollars, which took place in 1990 and 1991 and which featured some of the finest certified coins, borrowed from various collections, had an 1887/6-O in just MS-64 grade, one of the very few coins in the exhibit in less than MS-65 preservation.
Circulation strikes:
1. 1887/6-O overdate: Breen-5597, VAM-3. Usually AU or worse; Uncirculateds are mostly mediocre or worse. I have heard of no prooflikes. The 1886 date was from the Even 6 logotype.
Dies prepared: Obverse: At least 1; Reverse: At least 1.
Circulation strike mintage: Unknown part of 1887-O.
Estimated quantity melted: Unknown
Availability of prooflike coins: None reported. Characteristics of striking: Usually average or below average in sharpness
Known hoards of Mint State coins: The group of 400 was sold sold at the 1977 ANA convention and, possibly, was part of the 1962-1964 Treasury distribution of 1887-O dollars.
This variety was not known to collectors until 1972. Last 0 mint overdate dollar.

A way to eat. The way to live.
We're here to fill your life with honest-to-goodness good food. The kind of food that you remember, deep down. Fresh. Wholesome. Brimming with flavor and life. It can only be found in organically grown foods.
You'll never miss the salt with All-Purpose Seasoning on hand. Use it to transform any savory dish from ordinary to delectable – while cooking or at the table.
Not sure what spice goes with tonight's dinner vegetable? Too busy to measure bits of this and that spice for your stir fry or casserole? All-Purpose Seasoning is the solution. No one spice overwhelms this salt-free blend of balanced flavors, developed to complement any savory dish.
Suggested Use
For the freshest aroma and taste, grind whole peppercorns as needed – or offer a peppermill at the table. Freshly ground pepper's especially good in salsa, salads, on pasta, and in soup. Whole peppercorns are also used in pickling, marinades, meats, and soups. (Tie in a cheesecloth bag or small strainer for easy removal.)
- Add to soups, stews, and gravies.
- Use to enliven everyday casseroles.
- Sprinkle on deviled eggs, salads (green and side alike), and baked potatoes with shredded cheese, veggies, and sour cream.
- Mix into beef or veggie burger recipes, meatloaf and bean or nut loaf.
- Add to coatings for breading meats, fish, veggies, and soy products.
- Use to top focaccia bread before baking
- Add to oil and vinegar for an instant dressing
- Combine with soy sauce, olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a rich marinade.
- Stir into a cream base (like mayo and sour cream) for an instant dip.
- Keep a shaker full at the table for those who want added spice or who are trying to eliminate or cut back their salt intake.
- Blend one tablespoon All-Purpose Seasoning with softened butter or margarine for a delicious flavored butter. Serve with bread or on steamed vegetables or fish.
Other Ingredients
Organic onion, organic black pepper, organic garlic, organic parsley, organic celery seed, organic tomato powder (organic tomato, guar gum), organic basil, organic thyme, organic oregano, organic sage, organic coriander.
