81/2" ARITA Sho Chiku Bai platter Hizen kilns Tetsusaburo.
This is a piece of porcelain that tells a story.
Sho Chiku Bai: The Three Friends of Winter. Hizen kilns: The Province where its made and Tetsusaburo: The makers first name.
There are several forms of pottery that fall under the Arita umbrella including: Arita, Imari, Hasami, Hizen
The Three Friends of Winter are common in works of Chinese art and those cultures influenced by it. Up to the present day they are to be found together in painting, literature and garden design and are also much used on textiles and ceramics.
The three are first recorded as appearing together in a ninth-century poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhu Qingyu The Song Dynasty artist Zhao Mengjian ( c.1199-1264), among others of the time, made this grouping popular in painting. The actual term "Three Friends of Winter" can be traced back to the earliest known mention in literature, the Record of the Five-cloud Plum Cottage from The Clear Mountain Collection by the Song Dynasty writer Lin Jingxi ( 1242-1310)
"For his residence, earth was piled to form a hill planted with a hundred plum trees, which along with lofty pines and tall bamboo comprise the friends of winter."
It will depend on the artifact involved exactly how the three plants are represented artistically. In many cases sprigs are superimposed to form a unified design. In others the plants are divided among artifacts displayed close together, as on separate scrolls; on wooden panels within buildings; and on contiguous screens, as in the example by Yamamoto Baiitsu below. In the representations on Imari porcelain from Japan only portions of the plants are unified on the medallion in dishes but can be treated more fully round the side of taller vessels.
Culturally, pine, bamboo, and plum are regarded as linked in the context of winter because they flourish together at that season. For this reason they are commonly known as the Three Friends of Winter or referred to simply by their linked names: Song Zhu Mei in Chinese, transliterated as Sho Chiku Bai in Japanese (literally "pine, bamboo, plum"). The pine and plum-blossom add their fragrance to the cold air and are therefore valued as bringers of distinction to adverse conditions. This is further emphasised by the evergreen qualities of pine and bamboo, added to the early flowering of the plum while snow is still on the ground, and makes of them symbols of perseverance and integrity. In this connection, they also symbolizes longevity: bamboo and pine because of their evergreen quality, plum blossom because it reappears on the age-old branches.
In other weathers the three sometimes have contrary meanings. Since the pine withstands the wind it symbolises endurance, whereas the bamboo bends with the wind and survives in that contrasting way. Plum blossom, however, is scattered by the spring breeze and in that context symbolises the transitoriness of life and beauty. So, in a Korean poem by Kim Yuki (1580-1658), the three friends are brought together in order to underline the paradoxical contrast:
Peach and plum of springtime, don't flaunt your pretty blossoms;
Consider rather the old pine and green bamboo at year's end.
What can change these noble stems and their flourishing evergreen?
In Japan the three plants are known as 'the three auspicious friends' and are particularly associated with the start of the (lunar) New Year, appearing on greeting cards and as a design stamped into seasonal sweets. The three plants are also used in a traditional Japanese grading system, with pine as the top, bamboo as the middle, and plum as the lowest grade.
The history of Hizen ceramics is intimately connected to Japanese-Korean relations in the premodern period. In the late sixteenth century the warlord and unifier of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, invaded Korea with the ultimate intention of conquering China. In the course of two invasions and retreats, Hideyoshi and his generals coerced or persuaded a large number of Korean potters to come practice their trade in Japan.79 This voluminous influx of ceramic practitioners, technology, and ideas resulted in the establishment of numerous successful ceramic production centers in southwestern Japan. In Kyushu, in particular, potters who became known for their production of Korean-style ware traced their lineage back to Hideyoshi's invasion of 1592-1598. The result has often been described as a Korean revolution in Japanese ceramics.

vLsL2VnDmWjoTByaVLxb - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - link"One of the hot topics in computer upgrades for the next couple of years is going to be the move from DDR4. "
Think you mean "to"? Reply
Ryan Smith - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkIndeed. Thanks for pointing that out; it has been corrected. Reply
invinciblegod - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkDoes this even affect real world performance for a normal person (as in not for work related activities)? I've never been able to detect much difference in a gaming scenario. Reply
lagokc - Friday, August 01, 2014 - link"Does this even affect real world performance for a normal person (as in not for work related activities)? I've never been able to detect much difference in a gaming scenario."
If you're using integrated graphics? Absolutely yes for games. Otherwise probably not. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkThat's the wrong question to ask in the context of Haswell-E and X99. Anyone buying these is by definition not a normal person. Ask again once DDR4 hits meinstream platforms. For iGPU it will provide obvious benefits, whereas for regular operation you'll probably see a modest performance increase, equivalent to 1 or 2 CPU frequency bumps (it's been like that for DDR2 and 3 as well). Reply
Scabies - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkUsing Anandtech's "Performance Index" (speed divided by CAS latency), this rates fairly low. Will all DDR4 start out this way or are we looking at a budget part here? Reply
Mr Perfect - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkIt will probably all start out that way. DRR3 had high latencies when it first came out, DDR2 did to, and DDR1.... Actually, I don't remember how DDR1 compared to SD RAM anymore, but it certainly got better as it matured. Reply
B3an - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkIt's stupid how a new DDR standard is always slower than the previous one when it starts out. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkThat should be inevitable. The ram manufacturers have years of experience tweaking parts for the old standard; but have only just figured out how to make the new one in mass quantities. Reply
CaedenV - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkIt will absolutely get better with age. Think of this more like DDR3 800; it was a thing for a little while at launch, but was quickly bumped up to 1333 with lower latency, and then 1600+ as things went forward. We will have the better part of a year to get things a right before mainstream platforms start using this, so I would not worry about it. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkAs others have said, it should quickly get better. But there's more: DDR4 is supposed to be a bit faster at similar specs due to improved efficiency. Let's see how this works out!
Furthermore: this is for businesses who wouldn't run current Intels at anything higher than DDR3-1600, because they're not specified for anything faster. and if they can keep up DDR4-2133 15-15-15 for 16 GB modules it's actually not that bad. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkPricing's the most important part, the cost will be absorbed by system integrators regardless but whether there's price parity or an increase will determine how quickly enthusiasts adopt a platform that uses DDR4.
I imagine everyone will soon slap spreaders on modules regardless of whether it's needed or not, tho if you're making bland green DIMMs you might as well. Reply
Assimilator87 - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkI do love Geil's Black Dragon series for memory without heatspreaders. Reply
Mr Perfect - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - link
Compare this to the rate of DDR3-2133, which is often at 10-12-12 timings or similar, but uses 1.65 volts, and typically comes with heatsinks.
They don't really need the heatsinks though, do they? I was under the impression they're usually there for the aesthetics. Reply
CaedenV - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkperformance memory at 1600+ could probably use at least a basic spreader, especially when you don't know what kind of environment it is going to be installed in. I am a firm believer in AC in by house, but some crazy people somehow enjoy 80*f temps, and computer parts may not deal so well for them. So better safe than sorry I suppose.
Still, with modern processing, lower voltage, and a cycle time, I can't imagine these getting all that warm. Reply
Peeping Tom - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkNot unless they're overclocked beyond spec IMO Reply
semyon95 - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkThese are honestly just garbage sticks. I see no reason anyone would buy DDR4 sticks that:
1. have only 8 GB for a DDR4 set
2. provide only 2133 MHz bandwidth for DDR4
3. add to this worst you can get CL15 timings
4. also these are not even LPDDR4/notebook oriented modules so you can't excuse the specs
What we have here is a product that is targeted at desktops, but every DDR3 2133 set outperforms it. The only advantage of this set -- low voltage -- doesn't matter for a desktop PC. Reply
Kjella - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkMaybe because hammering those DDR3 2133 set sticks into a platform that uses DDR4 won't work? Considering a Haswell-E here but might skimp on the RAM to buy a decent set later. Reply
Peeping Tom - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkPlease don't drag out the latency improvements until we're on the cusp of DDR5/Nextgen. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkIf it was possible to make DRAM itself dramatically faster, we'd never have gone down the whole DDR1/2/3/4 cycle with each generation roughly corresponding to doubling the databus speed and doubling the on-dimm parallelism to feed it. PC-133, DDR1-266, DDR2-533, DDR3-1066, and DDR4-2133 all have the dram running at the same speed; and just use faster/more parallel controllers to read/write to more locations within the ram chips at once.
This is also why we should expect to see DDR4 speeds ramp up fairly quickly; as the engineers get more practice in building faster controllers; the actual dram has plenty of headroom before it catches up with the speeds at which it's been made to operate in DDR3. Reply
abrowne1993 - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkWith equal clockspeeds and lower timings, wouldn't the DDR3 example above outperform these DDR4 modules? What's the point in upgrading for a desktop user? Reply
drothgery - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkDDR4 won't be available for a standard desktop platform for a while. Haswell-E is a server/workstation part. Reply
bmayer0122 - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkAs there is a drop in voltage (1.65 to 1.2v) I would expect the power usage to go down on a per unit of memory basis. Is there any word on that?
Thank you Reply
willis936 - Thursday, July 31, 2014 - linkA rule of thumb in processor power consumption is that the max load power is proportional to the clock frequency times the square of the voltage. I promise you that these sticks use much less power than their ddr3 equivalent. That being said they're pretty low performance and in a HEDT environment the tiny amount of power that ddr3 isn't an issue. It matters more in server blades with hundreds of sticks or in laptops were every mW counts. Reply
celestialgrave - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkIs it just me or does there seem to be a lot of wasted PCB space? Would it really cost that much more for them to just make the PCB shorter? Would be nice for those big tower heatsinks Reply
DanNeely - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkI think the vertical heights for the PCB are set in the DDR4 spec itself; even if they don't need the space internally for routing connections in the PCB the height may have been selected for mechanical reasons. If they kept the length the same and but made them shorter they'd become more prone to bending or breaking. Reply
Notmyusualid - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkCL15....
Ugly. Reply
StrangerGuy - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - linkThe reason why DDR4 still hasn't went mainstream by now is because demand for NAND and LPDDRx is going up while demand for PC DRAM is slowing down.
BTW I predict DDR4 will be the very last consumer DRAM to come in DIMMs. Reply

Eight recruits ordered to show their dance moves.
Three sailors whose submarine "dolphins" pin was tacked on.
One sailor who barely escaped being thrown down a chute on their ship.
These are among the two dozen reports since the Navy stood up their counter-hazing task force in early 2013, which has seen a rise in reports of mistreated sailors.
The uptick is heartening, however, according to the effort's leader, because it means sailors are more comfortable coming forward, the first step to eliminating hazing from the service altogether.
"We've made a very concerted effort to explain to our sailors what all of that destructive behavior actually means," Rear Adm. Sean Buck, who heads the Office of Hazing Prevention, told Navy Times in a March 25 phone interview. "And just as we saw a dramatic increase in reporting of sexual assault this last year in the Navy, we have seen an increase in the reporting of hazing."
Buck's office is charged with tracking trends, as well as creating and implementing policy for the fleet on what exactly hazing is and how to report it — rules that in the past were not so clear.
For now, hazing in the Navy is defined by instruction from Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, but an upcoming OPNAV instruction will better clarify the definition, Buck said, as well as lay out eight ways a sailor can be punished under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for hazing a shipmate.
Also forthcoming is guidance on "signature behaviors," or a what-to-do list to contrast with the Navy's many what not-to-do rules.
"We realize that we spend a lot of time telling sailors what not to do, what's wrong, but we don't spend as much time telling sailors what does right look like," Buck said. "Let's describe good behavior, show examples and commend it."
The goal now is to get sailors comfortable with reporting incidents, whether as victims or witnesses, Buck said.
Greasing, taping and striking
A 2013 SECNAV instruction defined hazing within the Navy for the first time, explicitly banning acts like "greasing," "taping" and "striking."
But that appears not to have stopped the hazing. Since then, the OHP has gotten a handful of reports of sailors taped down. There was also a case of striking in January, where an E-3 lost a bet to an E-6, and the terms subjected the E-3 to three strikes in the leg with a welding rod.
The incident sounds like a straightforward assault, Buck said, but the difference in rank introduced an abuse of power that pushed the case into hazing territory. The logic being, a junior sailor could hardly turn down the 1st class' wager.
Still, he stopped well short of saying that all bets are tantamount to hazing.
In general, maltreatment and assaults rise to the level of hazing when rank disparity, a group mentality or an induction setting are in play, he said.
Whether an incident is consensual doesn't matter, Buck said, if there's an element of danger.
"If you're hazing and you hurt somebody and you take that person out of work, there's one of your teammates who's no longer a productive member of the team until they get well," he said.
In addition to unspecified cases of verbal and psychological hazing and a few incidents of tacking on warfare qualification pins, three cases of physical punishment came from the fleet. These involved more senior sailors making a junior guy drop and do some pushups, for example.
Ten pushups was once a pretty standard punishment for screwing up at your job, but no longer.
That treatment is only OK at boot camp, the Navy's top sailor said.
"This is part of the sailorization process, right?" Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (AW/NAC) Mike Stevens told Navy Times in a March 19 interview. "But a supervisor out in the fleet can't drop a sailor for corrective action. ... There are many other ways that you can handle that."
If there's a behavioral issue at hand, it needs to start with a conversation, he said.
Buck agreed, explaining that a supervisor needs to make sure the corrective action addresses "a particular behavior, and it's focusing on a legitimate demand requirement."
Extra military instruction is an example of this, he said, stressing that the goal of EMI must not be punishing a sailor — as it is often employed.
Still, he added, not every embarrassed sailor has been hazed.
"It would be my opinion that if the punishment meted out by the superior is trying to correct the mistake that was made, or a shortcoming in training, and it was going to improve the sailor's performance in the mission, if it was mission-related," it's likely not hazing, he said. "I probably can't help that a sailor was embarrassed that they made a mistake," he said.
'Break down trust'
What's so wrong with a few push-ups?
Ordering a bluejacket to pump out pushups or taping him to a chair may seem like horseplay, but Buck explained that when someone becomes comfortable with smaller abuses, it can embolden them to cross the line elsewhere.
"I can't be more emphatic about that relationship," he said.
On a "continuum of harm," he explained, there might be sexual assault and rape on the far right side, with lesser offenses like hazing, bullying and harassment on the left, that, if left unchecked, could escalate.
"All of these destructive behaviors are intertwined," he said.
By these definitions, hazing may be common in the Navy, given that push-ups and duct-taping are by no means unfamiliar. Official figures suggest that very few are reporting these incidents or that the Navy has largely stopped these practices in the past year. Buck declined to estimate how many sailors are taped to chairs versus how many report it.
However, he did have strong words for anyone who puts up with hazing, whether as participants, victims or bystanders.
"If someone thinks, 'Well, it's okay,' and they tolerate it happening to themselves, I don't want them, as they rise in rank and rise to positions of responsibility later in their years in the Navy, ... they may be prone to haze others that are subordinate to them," he said. "So shame on them if they tolerate it themselves."
And while an incident might not seem like a big deal, it's important to look at the larger implications of hazing, Buck said.
"The reason why we want to get rid of destructive behavior is it ultimately affects the mission readiness of the team," he said. "We think that all forms of destructive behavior break down trust between you and your shipmates, trust between you and the leadership of your unit, and really kind of big picture, the trust in the Navy."
The gray area
Two incidents made headlines in recent months for their hazing-like overtones, but neither are on the books as such at the OHP.
Four Hawaii-based senior enlisted sailors were formally counseled after an August physical training session sent 12 chiefs-select at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, to the hospital for extreme exhaustion, according to a Navy investigation.
The report found that while the training sessions took place as part of chiefs season, there was no intent to harm the sailors in the process. A chief and senior chief who led the training sessions did not communicate about the intensity of their regimens, which led to a dangerous condition that required hospitalization.
A less dangerous but much more disgusting incident happened in October, when a chief aboard the destroyer Jason Dunham ordered 13 female sailors to march bags of feces down a Norfolk, Va., pier.
The ship's sewage system was undergoing maintenance, so some of the toilets were marked with warnings and plastic wrap, but that didn't deter the women in two berthing areas.
The chief discovered human waste in two heads and ordered the 19 residents to clean them out. Then 13 of them were ordered to form up and take the loaded plastic bags to port-a-potties on the pier.
A spokeswoman for Fleet Forces Command called the incident hazing in a December interview with Navy Times, but it's not on the rolls with the OHP in Washington.
"The real hazing is them being marched down the pier in formation," Lt. Cmdr. Reann Mommsen said at the time.
Chief of naval personnel spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello could not say why the incident wasn't reported to the hazing office, but said lessons can still be learned from the overly zealous punishment.
"There may be behavior and incidents that maybe aren't hazing but are still valuable to the larger hazing discussion," he said.
Whether cases are kicked up to Washington is at a commander's discretion, Servello added, but Buck suggested COs call his office if they're looking for guidance whether a case is bullying, hazing or something more.
"If it turns into more of criminal activity — [for example,] assault consummated by a battery — we can help them clarify how the accountability should be meted out," he said.

One thing I've learned in our plus size fashion community is that just because one of us falls in love with a trend doesn't mean we all do. Mind boggling isn't it? This past week I was reminded of that when I dismissed a horrible pair of printed pants only to find that everyone else loved them. Everyone thought they were Versace inspired…me on the other hand? I thought they were grapes.
I know I'm weird.
It seems like every week there's a new fashion trend to keep up with and this week it's that baroque print and I'm just not sure how I feel about it. It's not horribly ugly, but I'm just not sure if I would wear it.
In case you're wondering, the baroque print is an artistic style of the 1600's that represented drama, luxury, and exuberance. From far away it looks OK, but then I try to imagine it on me and it's just not working. Wonder if it will grow on me?
I'm super curious…

we should start it Random123 04:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- In the end we're going to have a listing of every Naruto episode, Shipuden episode, and Manga chapters Part 1 and Part 2. Same goes for a overview of every episode and manga (Most likely using another website as our source). Dantman (Talk) 04:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I think it should be listed in arcs like other webs do...DarkLordofChaos90 01:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Naruto and Naruto: Shipuden are significantly seperate, as are Part I and Part II of the Manga. But yes, arcs would be used as sections on those pages. Acuatly, another option would be to give each anime arc and manga arc it's own page, then include those into the Naruto, Naruto: Shipuden, Manga Part 1, and Manga Part 2 lists. Then include the Naruto and Naruto: Shupuden lists into a master Anime Episodes list, and do the same for a master Manga Episodes list. Dantman (Talk) 02:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's quite difficult to keep track of every episode in Naruto. I think I belive 'Rescue the Kazekage was the last one in the episode list. --Kakashi Namikaze 18:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- It is, right now ;)... We're not going to create these lists manually. When we have a good episode infobox with things like arc and such, we can use infoboxes on episode pages and that'll create an automatic list ordered by episode number. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion May 22, 2008 @ 07:10 (UTC)

Do you have a hankering for a burger that's good AND good for you? Well then, this may not be the list for you.
Men's Health magazine and Eat This, Not That have come out with a list of the 11 worst burgers in America.
Among those on the list:
11. Worst Classic Fast-Food Burger
Burger King Whopper with Cheese
760 calories
47 g fat (16 g saturated, 1 g trans)
1,410 mg sodium
With 200 more calories than a McDonald's Big Mac, the Whopper is the clear loser in the battle of the burger icons. Blame it on the jumbo patty and globs of mayo (160 calories worth to be exact). And get this: If you add medium fries and a medium coke you're looking at a 1,500-calorie meal.
10. Worst Burger Kids' Meal
McDonald's McDouble Mighty Kids Meal with Fat-Free Chocolate Milk Jug
765 calories
30 g fat (9.5 g saturated, 1 g trans)
1,215 mg sodium
McDonald's created the Mighty Kids Meal for "in-be-tweens" (kids aged 8 to 12). It packs more fat and calories than an adult's meal should.
9. Worst Basic Burger
Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger
920 calories
62 g fat (29.5 g saturated)
1,310 mg sodium
This burger bomb landed on the list for one reason: false advertising. At Five Guys, regular burgers are doubles and "Little" burgers are singles. Plus, the "regular" fries have 620 calories—double that of most standard fry orders.
8. Worst "Healthy" Burger
Ruby Tuesday Avocado Turkey Burger
968 calories
61 g fat
1,601 mg sodium
Ruby Tuesday's Avocado Turkey Burger has more calories than the chain's Classic Cheeseburger. The lesson: Turkey doesn't always mean healthier
7. Worst Burger Melt
Red Robin All-American Patty Melt
1,254 calories
94 g fat
1,951 mg sodium
The "All-American" is the highest-calorie burger on the menu. In fact, the Keep it Simple Burger is the chain's only burger that falls below 800 calories.
6. Worst BBQ Burger
Chili's Shiner Bock BBQ Burger
1,300 calories

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I had a surprisingly large number of responses from my previous posting about learning Chinese. An update for those considering Rosetta Stone (www.rosettastone.com) for Chinese, Spanish or any other language that they offer:
I had to renew my "Studio" subscription today and it's now a much worse deal than it was.
It's now $75 for 6 months for Studio sessions.
The combination of these two changes now makes it much less useful. Two x 20 min sessions per month is an almost meaningless amount of practice.
They also now automatically change you to auto-renew when you subscribe. They tell you where to remove this auto-renewal but the first 4 or 5 times that I went into that screen, no such option appeared. Later, an option did appear and I used it.
Overall, things just aren't what they used to be at Rosetta Stone. It's now pretty hard to recommend the Studio option where it was a no-brainer before.
FURTHER UPDATE: <sigh>
Even after I renewed, I could not even connect to their "new" service. Although the system processed the renewal, it still tells me it's expired. My online chat person "Siva S" tells me that the problem is that I've purchased all 5 levels of the program. I can't wait till they explain to me how making an extra purchase from them stops me from logging on. Siva told me that they had "renewed" the program. I'd have to speak to Customer Care; they aren't available and then disconnected himself. Impressive (not).
Their website is now full of issues too. It insists that my billing address is in the USA, even though it pretends to accept changes to it.
Overall, it's gone from something that could be recommended (with some limitations) to now being an app to avoid. That's a pity as I liked much of it before.

I, too, am very unhappy about the changes of Rosetta Studio. I just had to renew my subscription today, unaware of the change in the amount of times you can do a group session, and I have to say that I would NOT have renewed had I known of the changes...
The change from 50 minute to 25 minute sessions was bittersweet, but this new change from unlimited sessions to just TWO PER MONTH is downright ridiculous! After my current cycle is done, I will no longer be a customer of Rosetta Stone unless they change back to the previous format.
And the auto-renew thing is so incredibly sneaky... What's worse is that even if you sign up for 6-months for $75.00, when that cycle ends, it won't renew at the rate of $12.5/month, but it will go to $25/month!!! Soooo sneaky this Rosetta Stone...
Incredibly unhappy. If anybody is reading this now and considering of Rosetta Stone, my verdict for you is NOT RECOMMENDABLE! Stay away!
I got up at 5am today to attend their "chat" session where they wanted feedback about the Studio changes.
That was a complete waste of time. It was a session that just pushed the line that said the changes were to make it quicker for you to get access to the group sessions and to let you have two instead of one. But they are now much slower and you previously could have unlimited sessions, but could only prebook two.
In the "chat" session, they just avoided all the hard questions.
What's worse, is that they pretended to care. With any of the obvious things that could go wrong with this, they just said "just call us and we'll make it right". However, they don't publish a phone number. I've been to the support "chat" page. They could not answer the questions, said they'd escalated it and that someone would contact me within 24 to 48 hours, but of course no-one ever did do so.
I can only imagine that they've had some sort of change in the company and they've suddenly got very greedy. That's ok for those signing up now but for everyone that was signed up before and understood how it worked, the changes are quite appalling.
While I'd have recommended them in the past (with reservations), there's no way I could recommend their current program or the way that they do business now.
I too got scammed. Really, two 25 minute sessions a month for $25 with 3 other people, technical problems and static! However, I complained and got a refund. There is no way I'll ever buy Rosetta Stone again. It's a massive waste of money. Other programs can teach you just as much or more in less time, for less money and are more entertaining. The only reason I had Rosetta Stone was for the studio sessions.
I dumped the program too. Too bad. I really enjoyed learning Spanish with them. I will miss it.
I just finished all three levels of Korean that they offer. I am also disappointed with the studio session changes however, with my three months of free online access, I appear to be limited to four 25 minute sessions per month, not two as other commenters have said. Did RS change their policy?
I don't know. More helpful than the Studio Sessions, I spend most of my online time with their Picari game playing solo which is their flashcard game; I find the game a great review tool and a great way to determine which words I've already forgotten. I still like RS and would buy it again. But I never enjoyed the studio sessions as much as others did.
I just finished my first Studio Session and I HATED it! The teacher (native Spanish speaking) seemed haughty and impatient, even to the point of embarrassing me in front of the other two students. I do enjoy the lessons but I'm never going to do the Studio Session thing again...just too much stress. Instead, I'll go to a nice authentic Mexican restaurant and chat it up with the waiters. Will probably learn more that way, anyway. :)
Yep, I decided to stop using Studio. It was no longer a good product.
In terms of the teachers though, I'd suggest trying again. With the Chinese ones, one or two were excellent, a few were ok, and some were not good. I recall the worst one looked like she really couldn't bother being there and was bored out of her brain. She was lounging all over the desk and her water bottle and basically just got the students to talk to each other only. I've seen that a few times.
But the worst part of the short sessions is there are frequent audio / video problems and too much of the 20 mins can just disappear.
And yes, Dave, after lots of complaints they changed to four per month but I also found it was very difficult to schedule them. I then tried purchasing a block of ten private ones but that was even harder to schedule. For example, no individual time slots were ever within the next two weeks, only group times.
I decided not to renew Studio for many of the reasons expressed by others. When it came time for my live sessions I could only listen in and not access to join in. I complained and they said it was my headset, they did not offer to send a new headset even though it was the one that came with the program. I even had my Aunt who speaks Polish try the program and it would not recognize her speech. I had to purchase another headsedge on my own. It still did not let me join in on the audio sessions for the instructor. Also had trouble with the day to day lessons as the program would not recognize my voice. I became very frustrated and just received a renewal notice which I am not going to do. The cost is becoming prohibited for the results not be what was projected.
I am trying to learn Polish to communicate with an uncle in Poland. I now think the best thing for me is to make a visit to Poland and learn first hand. Oh, how I regret not learning the language when my mother was alive. She was fluent in writing and speaking the language. And now it has become my greatest struggle.

Sea — April 2002
By Capt. Bill Pike
Wait...And See
|Why it's cool to sometimes do absolutely nothing.
I once worked as a wheelsman on Great Lakes ore carriers. It was a fun job mostly, and one I had a knack for. My teacher was a guy named Johnny, an old-timer who could safely shepherd a ship through every kind of hellacious condition known to man, from voracious river currents to storms of Biblical proportion.
At the start of my training, I stood on an overturned wooden box directly behind Johnny, so I could look straight over his right ear as he worked and closely observe how the bow of the 858-foot Roger Blough moved in response to the big wooden wheel in his hands. Later Johnny stood behind me—without the box because he was an exceptionally tall Ojibwa Indian—encouraging and advising me, all the while calmly puffing on an old briar pipe.
I learned a lot from Johnny and owed him big-time when the two of us finally parted company. Not only had he initiated me into the mysteries of "wheeling" a ship, teaching me all sorts of stuff that would come in handy in the future, but he'd also introduced me to one of the most practical virtues a navigator or boat handler can possess: patience.
The first time I got within squinting distance of the lock system at Sault Ste. Marie as wheelsman of the Blough, I immediately began to feel sick, scared, and more messed up than an overripe five-gallon bucket of chicken chum. Why? Among other things, the vision of the locks I was working with was wholly illusory, primarily because distance was conspiring with low-lying mists to make the opening in the vast, step-like edifice appear way too small to accept a ship of the Blough's size. It sounds silly, I know, but from where I stood behind the big wheel, the lock walls of the first chamber looked barely wide enough for a canoe, let alone a laker with a whopping 85-foot beam.
I broke out in a clammy sweat. Then came a fast case of the hives as Johnny headed off someplace to retrieve a packet of Granger pipe tobacco, leaving me in the wheelhouse with my illusory perceptions and the skipper and the mate, who were over by the chadburn (engine telegraph) palavering about current events as portrayed in the newspapers we'd picked up in Detroit from the J.W. Wescott mail boat. Neither of these worthies, by the way, appeared to be at all concerned about getting the ship stuck in the approaching lock chamber like a plug in a jug, or at the very least gouging the hell out of our steel plating on the chamber's abrasive concrete walls.
Patience was my only recourse. In due time Johnny returned with his Granger, the skipper and the mate fell to exercising the hawk-like focus that characterized their on-the-job selves, and the chamber ahead, along with the rest of the lock complex, began to grow miraculously. In fact, as the Blough's huge bow passed through the gates, the needle's eye I'd been dreading to thread did not threaten the ship in the least, although there was little extra elbowroom within the lock walls.
The wisdom inherent in this experience penetrated my young mind at some level, cranking up a process I'm still working on today: the ability to simply and patiently wait and see. Although I've polished the technique for years, perfection eludes. Even the coolest of cucumbers, it seems, can be convinced of the efficacy of doing nothing at the intellectual level, but gut-level impulses often obtrude, pushing a person to do something, even if it's not right.

"mediocre prizefighter," 1925, of unknown origin, credited to U.S. sportswriter and humorist Jack Conway. Non-boxing sense of "average person" is from Joe Palooka, hero of Ham Fisher's comic strip.
From Michael Quinion's excellent World Wide Words:
[Q] From Ana Alfaro in Panama: "I have come across the term palooka as in 'they are a couple of palookas' and in Palookaville. Could you explain what it means?"
[A] The word has two main senses, both principally American. One refers to an unsuccessful boxer, especially one who is both large and stupid, the other to any large and stupid or clumsy person, an oaf or lout.
Many older people first came across the word as the name of the boxer in Ham Fisher's famous comic strip. When this first appeared is open to dispute, as references variously give 1928 or 1930, the latter being more probable. The strip featured the eponymous Joe Palooka as a slow-witted and inarticulate boxer, even though "his heart was pure and his ideals high". But Ham Fisher didn't invent the word: it had been around for several years by the time his strip first appeared. (The earliest I can find is in the Lincoln Star, Nebraska, in March 1923: "But [Jack] Dempsey against some palooka who had been press agented into greatness and into the form of a Dempsey menace—that would pack any outdoor arena." The casual reference shows that it was even then familiar to the writer and that he expected his readers to know it.) The boxing associations seem to have been particularly strong, to judge from the magazine The Ring, which in November 1926 glossed the word to mean "A tenth rater, a boxer without ability, a nobody" and which implied it had been known for some time.
It's often said—following the statement by H L Mencken in the 1945 supplement to his work The American Language, which in turn echoes the belief of a writer in Esquire in September 1936—that palooka was the invention of Jack Conway, the editor of Variety magazine in the 1920s who was largely responsible for developing the magazine's weird style; he is credited by Mencken with creating a whole group of slang terms that include pushover and baloney. Whether he actually invented palooka, or popularised it, we have no way of knowing, nor do we have any idea what it was based on.
Several of Joe Palooka's adventures were made into films, and Palookaville came to be a slang term for a hick town full of gentle losers.

Never heard this word before, but ran across it today when pondering the submission of mediocre. 'Palooka' sounds a lot more colorful!

AMD Announces FirePro W9100by Ryan Smith on 3/26/2014 1:00 PM EST

Ian Cutress - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkTime for a new card for that 6x 4K HTPC (!). Seriously though, the GDDR5 chips to make a 16GB card are not commonplace and probably made by one company. That means 16 Gbit chips to make a 512-bit bus. Sapphire just put 8 GB on the R9 290X, so here goes AMD with one better. I wonder if clock speeds have to come down because of that. Either way, 1/2 DP with the larger memory buffer are big pluses. I hope Supermicro or someone has a full Ultra Workstation that I can look at during Computex. Reply
ddriver - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkClock speed will likely not be as nigh as gaming series, but who cares, with 16 gigs of ram on board, snap 4 of those on a workstation mobo with 64 gigs of ram and you got yourself a mini supercomputer at home. Build a few, get a good 10 gbit switch and you got yourself a computer farm cluster. Reply
mczak - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkYou are very wrong about the gddr5 chips required not being common. Nowadays just about everyone produces (and graphic card manufacturers are using, ps4 too even) 4 gbit chips (but 2 gbit chips are still used too on some cards, most notably on 2GB 256bit cards). Since the gddr5 chips are 32bit wide, you require 16 gddr5 chips - 16 4 gbit chips give 8GB of memory. But gddr5 can use a so called clamshell mode, where you use 2 chips in a 2x16bit mode to make a 32bit wide channel. So, for a 16GB card, you simply use 32 4gbit chips in clamshell mode. (nvidia though of course due to only having a 384bit bus, is restricted to 12GB.) Reply
mczak - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThat should have been "require 16 gddr5 chips for a 512bit bus". Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkCouldn't they use two 8 GBit chips on the same bus? Some previous workstation cards did so with GDDR5 to increase capacity. Reply
yasamoka - Thursday, April 03, 2014 - linkYou don't have to use 8 chips for a 512-bit = 8x64-bit memory bus. The 7970 uses 12 chips for a 384-bit bus, so this could be using 16 8Gbit chips. Reply
extide - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThis would be interesting, and a bit disappointing if it is true that the W9100 has 1/2 FP64 where as R9 290(x) have 1/8 FP64. Up until now, the consumer Radeon cards were never cut down and always had full performance FP64, compared to the FirePro versions. Unfortunately it seems they are probably following nVidia's lead here, and cutting the FP64 capabilities on their consumer lines, like nVidia does on Geforce vs Quadro/Tesla. Reply
coder543 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkI don't know if AMD is making Radeon cards 'cut down' in this case. It would be nice to hear the technical side of the matter, but it could be that AMD is simply binning the chips and only a small number can sustain the clock frequencies necessary to have 1/2 FP64, or that they're upgrading the chip design for the W9100 so that it can do 1/2 FP64. It's possible they're simply releasing artificially limited chips like nVidia does, but that isn't the feeling I'm getting here.*
*Feelings can be wrong. Reply
SaberKOG91 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThe way I understand it, the floating point units on the consumer versions have a different pipeline width altogether. The pipeline is narrower in favor of higher FP32 throughput, but that makes the double precision take longer to process. This also allows more room for integer units if I'm not mistaken (thus the increased mining capacity of desktop parts).
On the workstation grade parts, the integer side is reduced and the floating point width is increased in favor of the faster FP64 performance needed for HPC and 3D modelling work-flows. This increased floating point performance, coupled with application certifications, has always made these cards more expensive than the consumer parts with the same core count. Reply
twoodrow - Sunday, March 30, 2014 - linkWhere did you come across this information on the architecture? Reply
g101 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkIt's true, there may be a technical/cost reason for the higher ratio in the regular desktop cards... Hard to say for sure. Reply
g101 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThe difference in ratio has been confirmed. The reason is unclear, though I agree it's most likely the same reasoning that is behind nvidia's decisions (though nvidia's ratio is much higher (which is worse for the consumer)). This appears to be a more moderate but still marketing-driven decision. Reply
JDG1980 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkWill there be custom AIB versions of this card? We already know from the existing Hawaii cards that that cooler just isn't going to cut it. I doubt that people doing intricate construction on SolidWorks or whatever want their workstation roaring like a jet engine. Reply
WithoutWeakness - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThey also don't want to pay for a card that is going to continually throttle itself down to minimum clock speeds. I really don't like AMD's new strategy of listing the maximum boost speeds of their cards as the GPU's clock speed when their cards are unable to maintain that speed with the stock cooler. AMD will either need a redesigned stock cooler or a third-party cooling solution if this card is going to do anything different than the R9 290X does - ramp up to 95C and then ramp up the fan speed and throttle clock speed to stay within thermal requirements. Reply
Flunk - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkBased on previous experience they'll all be built by Sapphire and AMD-branded. The stock cooler in the image above will be on all cards. The people who buy these either don't care how loud they are or have taken other measures to quiet down the computer (like sound-proof boxes or locating the box in a server room). Reply
JDG1980 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThese are workstation cards, not server cards. Noise is definitely a factor. A good case with noise dampening can help a little, but not fix the problem completely - and many of these will be in mediocre OEM cases, not a nice Fractal Design R4.
I don't understand why AMD didn't just ask Sapphire to use their Tri-X cooler on the cards - we know it works very well on Hawaii, far better than the outdated stock blower. Reply
NicoleMWilson - Friday, March 28, 2014 - linkWhile I do 3930k and 4930k and ECC memory, they opt for off the shelf consumer cards. Some of these firms have contracts with Ford, Chrysler, Nascar and many other companies. The lure for them of course is price. They are comfortable paying $3500 a machine vs $5500 - $8000. I've tried to push several of my clients toward the AMD FirePro W7000 as I can get these cards for around $500 but they still pass. http://num.to/4871-8450-4883 Reply
birdiemaker227 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkJust want to point out to extide that 1/2 rate double precision is much, much larger than 1/8, 1/4 or 1/3. The Radeon cards have been limited on FP64, and for FirePro at 1/3 until now. With this new card from AMD the full potential can be realized at 1/2 rate. It means you get exactly half of the single preicsion rate now, not 1/3 or less. Reply
eanazag - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThe margins are clearly different, so i would expect a beefed up ~$4000 version of the consumer card to have a good cooler. Question is: does it stack up against the Titan Z well? I expect it to be more from a cost perspective.
I have no use for this today, I can't afford all the 4K displays this card can run. The specs are crazy. I'd hate to be the PCIe bus on the 4 card workstation. Reply
HigherState - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - link......or in the same room!!!! Four cards running full tilt would be ear-splitting. Reply
ddriver - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkI am actually very excited about this product. I like AMDs strategy to offer significantly better DP performance for the buck compared to nvidia. This is my sole purchase decision since all I need the GPUs for is OpenCL and DP data crunching. Reply
g101 - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkHeh, funny how both of our needs are met by this one product.
I need single precision and actual opencl support like you (rather than the nonsense nvidia offers).
Luckily, I can get away with the desktop AMD gpus since I don't need ECC or the display port optimizations/driver validation of the firepro line.
However, the real difference/attraction for me with Firepros are the frame buffers...in this case, 16GB per die would be incredibly useful...Might have to bite the bullet due to that alone! Reply
extide - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkIf you can live with 8GB ther are 290X's out there. (Sapphire) Reply
sascha - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkMe too, AMD has great GPUs! I just wish OpenCL would evolve faster and their FirePro line would be cheaper but on the other hand why should they do me the latter favor... Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkJust use a proper cooler and the chip temperature is nothing more to worry about than for any other 200+ W high end GPU. Reply
blanarahul - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkSo, AMD one upped even NVIDIA with FP64 performance. Boy am I impressed. Reply
tomhefley - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkI actually build machines in my area for engineering firms who use Solidworks. None of them opt for these high end cards. They are just too expensive.

Ban that 'EduardoHRami' idiot.
Anyways, yes it does appear AMD took a marketing note from nvidia with regards to regular desktop Hawaii and the 1/8th double precision.
Still far more generous than nvidia's ratio, though I would like to see AMD go for the throat and release firepro display port optimization and full double precision across all their cards...That would be a serious shakeup.
Still, this is one hell of a single-die GPU. Reply
ac1dra1n - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - linkI would be willing to bet that the W9100 will have a 512 bit bus. Is there anything technical that would argue against that? Reply
sanaris - Saturday, April 12, 2014 - linkI am using right now FireStream 9350 (175W) which claims to be 400 gigaFlops. It gives 24 msec time in Lucas-Lehmer FFT.
For comparison, 2 processors of AMD (300W) are MUCH better because they give 7 msec out of 160 gigaFlops.
Conclusions: (1) the so called "pro" cards lie to you when they say about Flops, (2) buy real processors which does not fool you with false speed numbers. Reply

Hello SitePointers!I today logged into the web site after a very, very long time.It feels good to be back and I hope to stay.
Things have changed a lot of over the years.I am over 18.
Back in the days when I joined I was quite young and freshy!
There were only a couple of people online comfortable with sharing their lives openly back then.Now things have changed so much. The internet has taken over with storm, "second lives" becoming dominant.
Great stuff!
How's everyone doing?
Welcome back. It is certainly amazing how much everyone is willing to share. Maybe humanity is not dooomed Sue
Welcome back and glad that you remember your username and password after such a long time! That certainly has some merit :lol:
Welcome back Yes, things change continuously, but the SP forums remain a great place to hang out I hope to see you around.
Welcome back... I took a hiatus myself for a while... these things just seem to happen without reason sometimes... like friends who have one day faded away without a falling out... anyway, let's keep forums alive... I'm not a fan of social media, I dig forums!!!
Maybe "password reset" tool helped him!
and on the note of being back after a long time, I'm myself here after 3 years I think (yes that is so, quick trip to profile page confirmed it).
Sweet! Welcome back to both of you! I'd be very interested to hear any feedback that you have about the place these days. Flick me a PM if anything springs to mind (and you can be bothered).
Thank You
Ok I'll bother. The layout & design is cleaner than I remember, feels faster too in the browser, though not sure if its better layout or faster computer!
That would be our upgrade to vB4
And thanks!
Yeah thought so, new vB does look zippier than I remember.
Welcome back. It's been ages since the last time I saw you hanging around these lands... Hope that life treated you well
@molonaThank You. Yeah its been like ages. And life is life!
Wow! After one year. It's good that you still remember this forum. I am a member for less than a year. I don't know what this forum was like when you first joined. Should be interesting to hear. There'a a lot of people here now that's for sure. Hope you'd enjoy the forum even more.
I am just a newbie at this forum... but is seems to be very popular. I hope we can interact and help each other!!Welcome back computerages!I am a little lost at this early stage, but the things will get better!
Welcome back buddy... Hope you like to Stay for a long run this time...
Where have you been?
Me Too i have created the account before six months and i realize that now before an 1 month only so that i reopened my account.

FRESNO, Texas - Deputies are searching for a man who has been accused of shooting his brother.
Fort Bend County sheriff's deputies said the shooting happened at a mobile home on Avenue A and Jan Street in Fresno at about 8 p.m. Thursday.
Investigators said two adult brothers were arguing. The shouting match escalated, but was silenced when Daniel Rice, 25, shot his 44-year-old brother, detectives said.
The victim was taken by medical helicopter to Memorial Herman Hospital in critical condition. His name has not been released.
Rice was tracked to a home in the 4400 block of Clover Street in Houston, where he was arrested by Houston police. He's being held in the Fort Bend County Jail without bond, charged with two counts of aggravated assault.

Once again I got a hankerin' for some saucy thighs, so back to basics. There are a zillion ways to enjoy thighs, and they sure are a lot cheaper than wings. Speaking of wings,... well, you'll see.
And here they are, bathed in KC Masterpiece "Hot & Spicy" variety cue sauce. Mmmm...mmmm hits the spot.
I had to break in my new pit boss, a pied mutation of the normal gray cockatiel. He's a riot, and only two months old. Regrettably, I recently lost my previous pit boss who got spooked on my brother and she split for the great horizon. See, tiels have no homing instincts.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Trader Joe's opened two stores in Texas Friday and The Woodlands is excited to get one of them.
The grand opening was held Friday at 8 a.m. The 13,500-square-foot store is located on Woodlands Parkway and Kuykendahl Road.
Some area residents said they couldn't wait for the store to open.
"I was up at 5 o'clock in the morning to make a sign," one shopper said. "We're so excited. I've been waiting five years."
The company said the store are full of stories, meaning every item in the store has its own virtues -- high-quality ingredients, great flavor or an extraordinary price.
The grocery store buys directly from manufacturers and is known for low-cost products. They take a name-brand product, remove the preservatives and artificial colors and put it under their label at a discounted price, store officials said.
Trader Joe's will open two more stores in the Houston area this year. One will be on Voss in the Memorial area and the other in the old Alabama movie theater on Shepherd.
Trader Joe's is accepting job applications for open positions.

Newfoundland & Labrador is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. No visit to the province would be complete without making it to at least one of them – and maybe you can collect the set.

"Tempting Providence" has been running for 12 years and has become one of the favourite plays at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival (GMTF) in Cow Head. It has toured internationally and has been performed over 650 times! This summer it has again played to sold out crowds but you still have a chance to see it this September. We recently saw the play on September 2 for our 4th time and it is still just as powerful as the first time we saw it 9 years ago. "Tempting Providence" is the true story of nurse Bennett who was dedicated to serving the health care needs along Newfoundland's rugged Northern Peninsula for over 50 years beginning in 1921.

When we go to a play in Cow Head at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival we often like to head up early in the day to enjoy a hike or to Shallow Bay beach. But if you like to golf we suggest you also pack your clubs and test your skills against the Gros Morne Golf Course. The course was closed for a year a couple of years ago according to manager Lorne Warren but they have been working hard this year to get the course back in shape. "Business has really been picking up especially during August and we plan to be open until mid October this year "Lorne told us. We had played the course a few years ago and really liked it so we were glad to see the course back in operation.

Despite the forecast of cloud and rain we headed to Woody Point in the afternoon of August 18 to see the last "Charlie and Mena" show of the season. The "Charlie and Mena" concert features Charlie Payne on various accordions and singer Mena Lodge on guitar and is part of Gros Morne Summer Music. They were joined by guitarist Darren Vincent and they put on a fine performance featuring Newfoundland music. It was held at the Heritage Theatre in Woody Point which is a great old building that Charlie Payne carefully restored.

"The Known Soldier" is one of 6 performances that the Gros Morne Theatre Festival (GMTF) is doing this summer in Cow Head. On the 100th anniversary of World War 1 it is fitting to produce a play about one of Newfoundland's heroes of that war- Tommy Ricketts. And "The Known Soldier" was written and directed by the talented Jeff Pitcher, GMTF's artistic director! What is significant about Tommy Ricketts is that he lied about his age when he signed up (he was just 15 at the time) yet in just a couple of years he had earned the Victoria Cross, the Britain's highest award for valour. His sprints over open fields in the heat of battle are legendary.

We recently were fortunate to see "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" which was written by Martin McDonagh and directed by Jeff Pitcher. This is one of 6 performances performed at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival this summer in Cow Head in Gros Morne National Park. What we like about Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's (TNL) philosophy is that they either perform plays about Newfoundland and Labrador or plays that have a close connection to the province. Although "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" takes place in rural Ireland its theme of isolation certainly could resonate with residents of outport Newfoundland.

On Friday afternoon, July 11 just as the skies opened up we started driving from Corner Brook to Gros Morne National Park. The forecast was calling for good weather so we hoped the heavy rain was localized and sure enough as we headed north from Deer Lake it began to clear and by the time we reached Woody Point it was sunny again. We checked into the comfortable Victorian Manor Efficiency Units (http://www.grosmorne.com/victorianmanor/) and shortly thereafter our friends Martin and Molly Ware arrived. Our plan was to show them some short hiking trails that we had discovered the previous fall and have dinner at the Merchant Warehouse which just opened last year on the Woody Point waterfront.

On June 24 we decided to head to Gros Morne National Park on a spur of the moment trip to do some of our favourite activities before the summer throngs descend on the Park. We started out with a boat tour of Bonne Bay aboard the Emm Cat. Bontours (http://www.bontours.ca/) runs this popular 2 hour boat tour starting from the wharf in Norris Point. It was a windy afternoon for our 2:00 pm sailing and this prevented the boat from getting out in the open Gulf of St. Lawrence. However, this didn't really matter since we saw a couple of eagles along the steep sides of Bonne Bay as well as a minke whale feeding near the surface.

We decided to get in another backcountry ski trip to the Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park and combine it with a trip to see a huge Blue Whale that had washed ashore in the community of Trout River. This past winter was particularly cold and with more sea ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence many whales got trapped by changing ice conditions and ended up dying. These whales are now washing ashore along the west coast of Newfoundland and one ended up on the beach in Trout River.

The theatre doors open and the crowd of people waiting in the small lobby are allowed to take their seats. There is a sense of anticipation as audience members whisper to one another. The only things on stage are six wooden chairs stacked to resemble a solitary tree. Perhaps each chair represents a different branch of Al Pittman's work that, when stacked together, create one solid play, With Cruel Times in Between.

The Anchor Room Bar is packed with people, every seat is taken. The waitress' twist and weave around tables like a snake through the jungle grass, serving cocktails to the patrons who wait with excited anticipation. Being told the show is a "must see" while visiting Gros Morne, National Park they are ready to experience it for themselves. The band members of Anchors Aweigh gather together behind the crowd to do their ritual shot before taking to the stage. They smile at each other, this is what they love to do. The smiles grow bigger as they walk on stage and pick up their instruments, the crowd can't help but smile too. You can see their passion for music as they play. The audience can feel it.

Explore the past, experience the beauty. Hiding between the great Tablelands and the vast Atlantic Ocean sits quiet Trout River. While proclaiming itself to be Newfoundland's best kept vacation secret, a more accurate account would be Canada's best kept secret. This destination should be on every travellers list when exploring Newfoundland. Situated 86km from Deer Lake International Airport, in the glorious Gros Morne National Park, it is a rare and beautiful find nestled within another rare and beautiful find.

Watching the sunset on a clear, calm night, its final rays shimmering on the bay waters. The glowing ball of orange disappearing behind the strong, rustic 500 million year old tablelands. It is hard not feel overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the scene. This unique sight can only be seen from the water, which is why you need to get out onto Bonne Bay in a boat.

On Saturday, September 28 we headed for Woody Point to continue our quest to hike the trails that exist in some of the communities in Gros Morne National Park. In previous blogs we have discussed the community trails in Norris Point and Rocky Harbour and for this weekend we set our sites on some communities on the south side of the park. And the weather couldn't have been better- sunny and warm.

I decided to grill up a lot of food tonight in order to pack lunches for this week. I also want to go deer hunting after work this week, so this will make things a ton easier. Even after packing up 7 meals, I still have half of the pork loin leftover. I will probably use that half for sandwich meat for a later date.
The chicken breasts were butterflied and flattened out with a meat hammer. They were then dusted with Sucklebusters Hoochie Momma and stuffed with Sauteed Spinach, Mushrooms and Feta Cheese.
The pork loin was simply dusted down with Weber Steak n' Chop Seasoning.
I took the internal temp of the pork loin to 150 deg f....it was nice and juicy! Gonna be eatin' like a king for lunch this week!

Have you tried this out? This is a handy thing indeed and is one of my favorites. Code hyperlinking works on CFCs, UDF calls in local and included files, and CFC methods. Just doing a Ctrl+Click on the CFC or method name takes you to the CFC or the method code respectively. It also works on the template file in <cfinclude> tag. As for CFCs, it works within createObject(), <cfobject>, <cfinvoke>, new operator, and in 'extends' and 'implements' attributes of cfcomponent. Hyperlinking works with method calls in <cfdump> as well. In addition to these, if you have variables mapping for CFCs in your project, Ctrl+Click-ing on variable_name.CFC_method_name takes you to the method code.

Need help setting up a model
I'm having a hard time figuring out how I would do this: I need to model a static load being applied to a deep foundation (steel pile, concrete pile, etc.) in 3D, but I'm having some problems. For simplicity, I am just using two cylinders with the inside cylinder being the shaft and the surrounding cylinder representing the ground. The problem arises when I run the first step of the model, because the soil and shaft stiffnesses are not the same, so the ground settles (deforms) and it imposes stress on the shaft. What should happen, just like in real life, is that the ground would have settled, and then the hole would be excavated and the shaft installed. What I need to do is have a step where the ground settle from self-weight, and then a second step where the shaft is "installed". If I could switch materials during model steps, that would work because I could assume the shaft is made of soil in step 1, then switch it to concrete/steel during step 2, but I don't think this is possible. Another option would be to change the height of the shaft in the 2nd step by the amount of settlement so that the strain, and therefore the stress, in the shaft is zero in the second step, but I don't know if this is possible either. Does anyone know a straightforward way of accomplishing what I'm trying to do here? I can't seem to get it to work!
thanks in advance

Re: Need help setting up a model
Hi Byron,
Trying adding initial stresses to the model of the form "Stress_z=Acc_Gravity*density*z" where z is the direction of gravity. The deformation resulting from that initial stress will balance the deformation due to gravity. For a uniform column with a linearly increasing stress field due to gravity this initial stress can get your displacement back down to zero. Having an initial condition like that makes sense (and is not just a numerical trick) because you are trying to model the foundation in its deformed state rather than its unknown stress-free state.

Re: Need help setting up a model
Hi Nagi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion, but it just zeros out the vertical stress, assuming I'm doing it correctly. I need the vertical stress to be present because it affects the horizontal stress, which I need to be present in the model.
Here is another thought I had... Can't I just initialize the stress in the soil domain instead of using a body load on the soil domain to come up with the vertical and horizontal stresses throughout the depth? I tried this by initializing the stress as a function of depth as solid.rho*g_const*Z for the vertical stress (solid.sz) and as 0.5*solid.rho*g_const for the horizontal stress (solid.sx and solid.sy) but when I check the stress in the model it says the stresses are ~ zero. Shouldn't it be possible to initialize the in-situ stresses this way? If I can do this it solves my problem! Thanks!

The Pittsburgh Catholic is the official newspaper of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Historically, the Pittsburgh Catholic grew out of the need to provide information for the local Catholic community.
That need persists, and thus the mission of the diocesan newspaper is defined as follows:
- To promote for Catholics and other readers an understanding of the mission and teachings of the church and its role in the community.
- To foster the faith and unity of the local church, and to serve as an instrument of evangelization and education.
- To provide readers with accurate news and information about the church on a local, national and universal level.
- To provide a forum for an expression of views in a manner consistent with the teachings of the church and the principle of respect for others.
