West Coast coach Adam Simpson was left banging his desk in frustration after his team's goalkicking woes haunted them yet again in Sunday's 19-point AFL derby loss to Fremantle.
The Dockers lost defender Zac Dawson to an ankle injury during the second quarter and trailed by six points early in the third term at Patersons Stadium.
But last year's grand finalists dug deep when it mattered most, booting the next six goals to secure the 11.7 (73) to 7.12 (54) win.
West Coast only had themselves to blame for the loss after spraying a number of gettable shots on goal when the game was on the line.
The Eagles had kicked a combined 23.39 in recent losses to Geelong, Port Adelaide and Carlton.
And they booted 1.8 during the second quarter against the Dockers at a time when they could have set up a handy lead and crushed Fremantle's spirit.
The result stretched West Coast's losing run to four, while Fremantle improved their record to 4-3 ahead of tough matches against Port Adelaide (away) and Geelong.
Simpson said his team's inaccuracy and slow starts to games were costing them.
"It's the third week in a row we've had more scoring shots," Simpson said ahead of next week's home clash with GWS.
"It's frustrating. I reckon I punched the desk a couple of times today and the players would be frustrated.
"Supporters and members would be frustrated as well when three weeks in a row we've given up starts to games.
"We're finding a way to get back into the game and we're not really capitalising."
Dockers midfielder Lachie Neale (32 possessions, one goal) won the Ross Glendinning medal for best afield, while ruckman Aaron Sandilands, Nat Fyfe, Michael Johnson, Paul Duffield, Danyle Pearce and Hayden Ballantyne were also crucial in the win.
Fremantle coach Ross Lyon said Neale was among a batch of young Fremantle players making their mark on the team.
But he said the 20-year-old's toughest challenge was still yet to come.
"Lachie's next step is he'll get tagged," Lyon said.
"We'll start throwing out the bouquets when he's learnt to work through a tag."
Dawson is in doubt for Saturday's away clash with the Power after rolling his ankle, while fellow defender Luke McPharlin will also be assessed during the week after playing out most of the game with a leg injury.
West Coast midfielder Luke Shuey twisted his right ankle while being tackled by Ryan Crowley in the final quarter, but is expected to be fit to tackle GWS.

Dark Wings of the Fae for Teens and Adults by leighswiccanboutique

mandileighs's recommendation
An Angel keeper of the night, she dances in the moonlight. Flying high alongside the Stars, she watches the woodland, protecting all. Wearing a dress of Black, with Jet Black Wings, beware of the Queen of Darkness. She walks hand in hand with the Goddess of the Moon. Protecting Mother Earth's Forest, and all within the Veil. Do not enter unless your heart is full of light, or you shall find yourself consumed by the Fae of the night. ⥠These Dark Fairy Wings are handcrafted with love and light. Great for special Mythical & Magical occasions, and weddings. They make a wonderful addition for your Renaissance, or Halloween costume. These wings are also great to use as a magical photography prop. ⥠Featuring black, blue, red and orange feathers. Adorn with Purple Glitter, fading into blue towards the bottom. The wings have also been sealed to not only keep the glitter in place, but to also add durability. Wings are made with Black thick Elastic bands to hold the wings firmly in place on your back. Just slip your arms through the hole of the bands and your ready to go. ⥠Wing Span is approx. 18" Wide, and 15 1/2" long. These wings will fit Teens, and Adults up to 175lbs. Reason I put a weight limit on these wings is because they fit me just right without being to tight and I am within that weight limit. Anyone whom is larger could actually cause the bands to separate from the wings, therefor they would not fit. It took me a little over a week to design these wings. I actually made these last September for my local shop around the time of the Renaissance festival. Unfortunately I was a little behind regarding the time of the festival since most people already had their costumes in order. These wings are currently the only pair I have available. I am not currently accepting custom request for wings due to the lack of materials available I need to make them, and the cost to design them. ⥠Shipping is based off the wing span, and size of these wings as they do not fold, but they do lay flat. Therefor a larger box is required in order to ship these wings. ⥠Over payment in shipping of 1.00 or more is always refunded to the buyer!

I was very encouraged to find this site. I wanted to thank you for this special read. I definitely savored every little bit of it. http://www.travelbirdcars.co.uk/heathrow-minicab
Thank you so much Blishsmith. I am glad you like my wings :)

Tristram Stuart
Author & Campaigner; 2014 Emerging Explorer
Photograph by Silvio Palladino, Unveil Arts
Author and campaigner Tristram Stuart is a renowned activist waging a worldwide war against food waste. One-third of the world's food is wasted from plow to plate. The planet's one billion hungry people could be fed on less than a quarter of the food wasted in the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe. Irrigation used to grow food that is thrown away could meet the domestic water needs of nine billion people. The scale of food waste was largely unexposed and unaddressed until Stuart's book Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal was published, and his grassroots initiatives lifted the topic to priority status worldwide. In 2009, he launched Feeding the 5000 in London. This free public feast of food that would otherwise be wasted has been replicated around the world. His "Pig Idea" campaign seeks to change laws that restrict using food waste to feed pigs. He also has successfully campaigned for U.K. retailers to relax strict cosmetic standards for fruit and vegetables, and his Gleaning Network initiative sends thousands of volunteers into fields to harvest surplus produce that would otherwise rot. The food is then given to U.K. charities that distribute it to the hungry.
Where were you born?
London, England
Where do you currently live?
London, England
What inspires you to dedicate your life to your work?
I bought some pigs when I was 15 and fed them on the leftovers of the school canteen and from other local businesses; it opened my eyes to the scale of the global food waste scandal. As an environmentalist then, I knew we were cutting down rain forests to grow more food and that there were millions of hungry people in the world. It seemed obvious that food waste was an injustice and one we could relatively easily solve.
What has been your most rewarding or memorable experience in your field?
Winning the international environmental award, the Sophie Prize, in 2011.
What's a normal work day like for you?
One day I'll be with a team of volunteers saving apples from being left to rot in an orchard; the next I'll be in a meeting with government ministers of supermarket directors helping them see why and how they can tackle the problem at its root.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Don't compromise.
If you could have people do one thing to help save the Earth, what would it be?
Eat what you buy, buy what you need, and use your power as customer and citizen to demand that the businesses you buy from also stop wasting food.
In Their Words
We want to catalyze a food waste revolution one person, one town, one country at a time—helping stop needless hunger and environmental destruction across our planet.

Ancestry have released the digitised images of the Canadian 1921 census. They aren't indexed yet so searching has to be conducted the "old" way – page by page. Like many English researchers I have ancestors who got on a boat for a whole variety of reasons and traded England for Canada. Again like others some of mine stayed and their descendants are still there whilst others decided that the wide open spaces of Canada wasn't for them and returned.
These records will be indexed in the fullness of time, but if you know approximately where your Canadian ancestors might have been living in 1921 then you will enjoy browsing these records.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Last Saturday the Saint Leo softball team spent the majority of their morning and part of their afternoon assisting Zephyrhills Little Leaguers in learning the basics, as well as some of the finer details, about the game of softball.
Taking place at the Zephyrhills fields, the free clinic saw nearly 30 kids show up for the event.
"It was a great experience for the girls to give back to the community," said head softball coach John Conway. "They did a great job taking charge of the day, and showed immense enthusiasm throughout the morning with the little leaguers. It was a fun time for all."
The group went over hitting and throwing techniques, as well as base running instruction. Most importantly, however, the team spread the value of Community and showed what it takes to play a team sport.
Lions' senior pitcher Megan Still was quoted as saying, "Working with the young ladies was a great experience. We really got to be hands on with each of them and teach them the fundamentals of the game. It is an awesome feeling when you can pass your skills and knowledge on to a small child that is just starting out!"
The Lions have a series of community events throughout the fall semester.
Click below for a series of pictures from the event.

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - Lake County deputies said they arrested a 27-year-old mother after her baby was discovered with blood clots and injuries.
Deputies said 27-year-old Lynsey Overton, Leesburg, was arrested Friday evening after her infant was discovered to have blood clots in the brain and fractures while at the hospital.
Deputies said the infant was discovered to be shaking and acting abnormally by a cousin of Overton, who urged her to take the baby to the hospital.
Doctors discovered old and new injuries including fluid on the brain, blood clots, injuries to the mouth and twisting injuries that are indicative of shaken baby syndrome, deputies said.
Deputies said Overton first blamed her boyfriend, but admitted to treating the infant roughly.
Deputies said Overton shook the baby who was crying, the forced a bottle into the infant's mouth, forcing her to vomit.
Overton said doctors advised her in the past to feed the baby every three hours because the child was not thriving, but she explained she liked to sleep in and didn't feed her, deputies said.

ORGAN donors in Swindon are being urged to discuss their wishes with their families before it is too late and another life is lost.
Health chiefs at the Great Western Hospital are calling on residents, even those already signed up to the organ donor register, to talk about their decision with their relatives during National Transplant Week.
The UK has one of the lowest rates of family consent for organ donation in the world, due to less than a quarter of the population talking about their choice with a loved one.
When the time comes to request organ donation, family members are often unaware of their relative's decision and, together with the shock and grief of the moment, refuse permission for their loved one to be a donor.
More than 20 people in the GWH catchment area across Swindon and Wiltshire have died since 2009 while waiting for a kidney, lung or liver transplant.
Dr Malcolm Watters, clinical lead for organ donation at Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "It is vitally important for people to make their families aware of their wishes around organ donation. Signing the Organ Donor register is not enough.
"Around 2,000 people die at the Great Western Hospital each year, but on average only 10 of those will actually die in a manner whereby organ donation is a possibility. If we lose just one donation, then we have lost 10 per cent of our donations for the entire year."
As of the beginning of April, there are 60 people in the Swindon area on the transplant waiting list.
Terry Sell, 60, from Lyneham, was given a new liver in 2009 at GWH after his was on the brink of failure.
He said: "Having a new liver was the difference between life and death for me.
"It's so important for people on the donor register to talk about their decision with their family. If the person who donated their liver to me hadn't, I know that I would not be here today."
Dr Watters added: "We want people's decisions to save the lives of others to be carried out whenever possible. This is much more likely to happen if they've told those closest to them about their decision to donate."
- For further information, visit www.organdonation.nhs.uk
New liver saved a life
LITTLE Josh Nesbit would not be here today if it had not been for the liver transplant that saved his life.
The four-year-old from Royal Wootton Bassett was diagnosed with rare disease biliary atresia when he was born, a disease that affects the liver in newborn infants.
Josh eventually received a liver transplant donated by a woman who never even knew him last July.
Mum Karen, 34, said: "I would really urge people to tell their families if they want to donate their organs because I think at the moment even if you are on the donor register your family still needs to give consent.
"At the end of the day you're not going to need them any more and there are people out there who do and you could save someone's life.
"If Josh hadn't had the transplant he would have died. When they removed his liver they said that it was in a bad way, and it would have taken only one more thing.
"Now he is a completely different boy, he's more active, he's happy and he's running around."

Man assaults another in road rage incident
A Rio Dell man has been arrested for alleged assault and road rage. The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office say the man, forty six year old Dennis Miranda, allegedly jumped up onto a vehicle and assaulted the driver with his fists and slammed the victim's head into the door. It happened around five pm yesterday.
Authorities say the victim, also a forty six year old male, was driving a semi truck and trailer north bound on Coffee Creek Road in Ferndale and passed another truck going the opposite way at a high rate of speed driven by Miranda.That truck went partially off the road and Miranda then allegedly turned around and chased down the victim.

It also ensures that students with disabilities have access to the professionals and resources that will best serve them.
The measure was sponsored by Republican Sen. Andy Gardiner or Orlando.

We would like to thank all attendees for their participation.
This solar training was advertize on the Copernicus and on the Côte d'Azur Ecobiz websites.
Session 4 - Jan. 2016
34 attendees
The fourth edition of the solar training took place in January 2016 (Program). It gathered thirty-four attendees from Oman, South Korea, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and European Union.
Attendees appreciated the training format and the interactions with the researchers and the SoDa team. A video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-NCtwkGlZg&feature=youtu.be) was made in which several attendees from various countries and firms are interviewed and explain their motivations. The SoDa platform (http://www.soda-pro.com) is the centerpiece of the training; other sources of data from IRENA (irena.masdar.ac.ae), WMO (wrdc.mgo.rssi.ru), Copernicus CAMS (https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu) as well as from the ConnectinGEO project (www.connectingeo.net), measuring instruments and applications are presented.
Session 3 - Jan. 2015
The third edition of this training which occurred in Jan. 2015 was a success! 35 attendees from the European Union, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria and even from Brazil participated to this new version of the training. They appreciated the new format of presentation via the eyes of the fictional character Paul. Participants also enjoyed to have the opportunity to discuss with a banker in charge of the structured financing of large PV projects. Program >>
Session 2 - Jan 2014
|31 attendees
Session 1 - Jan 2013
18 attendees
The first session of the training as been organized within the framework of the European project ENDORSE (2011-2013).
One of the lessons learnt in the first phase of this project is that the complexity of the developed services was a significant barrier for adoption. ARMINES decided to propose a free training in solar radiation during which a workshop has been organized to present the "Typical Meteorological Year generation" and the "Atlas generation" services.
This event was the opportunity to pilote the questionnaires for the testing phase of the services by the extended panel of users (Apr. 2013) and the exploration of the market (Aug. 2013).

moiettoi - Friday, June 27, 2008 - linkHi all
This sounds like a great board and for some-one like me that uses 4x22"monitors and does heaps of multi tasking it sounds perfect and would gladly pay the price asked.
BUT why is such a great board slowed right down by not having DDR3 memory sticks,,,because from what I've read at the momment there is not that much difference with running this and what I have now which is a quad core with DDR3 which runs great but I do overwork it.So bigger would be better.
You would think and I'm sure they already know that it would be common sence to make this board with DDR3 as it is it's only fault as far as I can see.
We will probably see that board come out soon or next in line once they have sold enough of these to satify there egos.
Great board but,,,,just not yet I will be waiting for the next one out which will have to carry DDR3,,,if they want to go forward in thier technolagy.

VooDooAddict - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkFor testers of large distributed systems this is an awesome thing to have sitting on your desk.
You can have a small server room running on one of these.
The biggest shortfall I see is cramming enough RAM on it. Reply
iSOBigD - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkI'm actually very disappointed with 3D rendering speed. Going from 1 core to 4 cores takes my rendering performance up by close to 400% (16 seconds to 4.something seconds, etc.) in Max with any renderer. (I've tried Scanline, MentalRay and VRay) ...so I'm surprised that going from 4 to 8 gives you 40-60% more speed. That's pretty pathetic, so I suspect the board is to blame, not the software. Reply
martin4wn - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkActually 40-60% is not disappointing at all, it's quite impressive. You are encountering the realities of Amdahl's law, which is that only the parallel part of the app scales. Here's a simple workthrough:
Say the application is 94% parallel code and 6% serial. As you add cores, say the parallel part scales perfectly, so doubles in speed with every doubling in core count. Now say the runtime on one core is 16 seconds (your example). Of that, 1 second is serial code and the other 15 seconds is parallel code running serially.
Now running on a 4 core machine, you still have the 1s serial, but the parallel part drops to 15/4 = 3.75 seconds. Total runtime 4.75s. Overall scaling is 3.4x. Now go to 8 cores. Total runtime = 1 + 15/8 = 2.87s. Scaling of 60% going from 4 cores to 8 cores, and overall scaling of 5.5x
So the numbers are actually consistent with what you are seeing. It's a great illustration of the power of Amdahls law - even an app that is 94% parallel still only gains 60% going from 4 to 8 cores even with perfect scaling, and it's really hard to get good scaling at even moderate core counts. Once you get to 16 or more cores, expect scaling to fall off even more dramatically. Reply
ChronoReverse - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkThis is why I'm quite happy with my quad core. What would probably be the useful limit on the desktop would be a quad core with SMT. After that faster individual cores will be needed regardless of how parallel our code gets (face it, you're not getting 90% parallelizeable software most of the time and even then 8 cores over 4 isn't getting more than about 50% boost in the best case for 90% parallel code). Reply
FullHiSpeed - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkWhy the heck does this D5400XS MB support only the QX9775 CPU ??? If you need to use 8 cores you can get a lot more bang for the buck with quad core Xeon 5400 series, with only 80 watts TDP each, up to 3 ghz. For a TOTAL of $508 ($254 each quad ) you can have 8 cores @ 2 Ghz.
Last month I built a system with a Supermicro X7DWA-N MB ($500) and 4 gig of DDR2 667 ($220) and a single 2.83 Ghz Xeon E5440 ($773) , which I use to test Gen 2 PCIE, dual channel 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel boards, two boards at once. Reply
Starglider - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkDamnit. AMD could've destroyed this if they'd gotten their act togther. Tyan makes a 4 socket Opteron board that fits into an E-ATX form factor;
I was strongly tempted to get one before the whole Barcelona launch farce. If AMD hadn't made such horrible execution blunders and could have devoted the kind of resources Intel had to a project like this, we could have four Barcelonas running at 3 to 3.6 GHz with eight DDR2 slots all on a dedicated channel. Ah well. Guess I'll be waiting for Nehalem. Reply

Visual - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkI must say, I am very disappointed.
Not from performance - everything is as expected on this front... I didn't even need to see benchmarks about it.
But prices and availability are hell. AMD giving up on QuadFX is hell. Intel not letting us use DDR2 is hell.
I was really hoping I could get a dual-socket board with a couple (or quad) PCI-express x16 slots and standard ram, coupled with a pair of relatively inexpensive quadcore CPUs. Why is that too much to ask?
The ASUS L1N64-SLI WS board has been available for an eon now, costs less than $300 and has quite a good feature set. Quadcore Opterons for the same socket are also available for more than a quarter, some models as cheap as $200-$250.
Unfortunately, for some god-damned reason neither ASUS not AMD are willing to make this board work with these CPUs. The board works just fine with dual-core Opterons, all the while using standard unbuffered unregistered DDR2 modules, but not with quad cores? WTF.
And that board is old like the world now. I am quite certain AMD could, if they wanted, have a refresh already - using the newest and coolest chipsets with PCIe 2.0, HT 3.0, independent power planes for each cpu, etc.
Intel could also certainly have a dual socket board that works with cheap DDR2, have plenty PCI-express slots, and the cheap $300 quad-core Xeons that are out already instead of the $1500 "extremes".
I feel like the industry is purposely slowing, throttling technological progress. It's like AMD and Intel just don't want to give us the maximum of their real capabilities, because that would devalue their existing products too quickly. They are just standing around idly most of the time, trying to sell out their old tech.
Same as nVidia not letting us have SLI on all boards, or ATI not allowing crossfire on nforce for that matter.
Same as a whole lot of other manufacturers too...
I feel like there is some huge anti-progress conspiracy going on. Reply
SiliconDoc - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkYou're onto something there, just make it ten times worse, and you'll have the real picture. I've seen hardware years ago that puts current harddrives to shame. So for whatever reasons, things are limited, like the 56k modem was.
A friend just bought an HD2900 Pro (got it yesterday), 256bit 512mb. There were rumors about that there was a 512 bit version, he swore he saw it advertised. Well, to make a long story short, the $163 512bit version was getting bios flashed and overclocked up to the $400 XT 2900 whatever...(it was the same core apparently ) and it got sold real quickly and then pulled.... it's a ghost now...
I looked for one since I just found out, and saw one at some place online for nearly $400, at one at a music store online posted but not in stock - special order only, likely a mere pic-e-presence.
In other words they can pump those things out like mad, and depending on how much turkey they want in their bank...they start doing calculations, and when the consumer "catches" them, it's like anything else.
Let's face it, prices have gone a bit wild lately, and the big boys must have ringing cash registers in their eyes.
If they can pump 300 or 500 or 2 grand out of people instead of Disney World or Vegas, they'ell do it, and they see the drooling...,

Anonymous Freak - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkHave you checked the prices of Xeons vs. equivalent Core 2 Extreme recently?
According to Pricewatch, the Xeon 5472 (3.0 GHz, 1600 MHz bus,) is about $1029/1050. The Core 2 Extreme QX9650 (3.0 GHz, 1600 MHz bus,) is $1038/$1166. I can't find the QX9770 on Pricewatch, but other searches find it is about $1600, while the equivalent Xeon is $1400.
The Core 2 "Extreme" line has, since its inception, been more expensive than equivalent Xeons. Heck, it might be cheaper to pick up the Xeon equivalent of the 9775 than to pick up the 9775 itself. Reply
Anonymous Freak - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkYou state: "We tested Skulltrail with only two FB-DIMMs installed, but even in this configuration memory latency was hardly optimal:"
This is a major flaw in your benchmarking. As [url=http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2816&a...">http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2816&a...]your own[/url] Mac Pro review shows, quad-channel FB-DIMMs have lower latency, and higher bandwidth, than dual-channel. You should have filled all four FB-DIMM sockets. The latency penalty on multiple AMBs only applies to multiple AMBs on the same channel. For example, in a 5400-based server with four sockets per channel, having four total FB-DIMMs (one per channel, say 4 GB each,) produces better results than eight total FB-DIMMs (two per channel, 2 GB each.) And a sixteen FB-DIMM total (four per channel, 1 GB each,) system fares worst of all. Of course, that is assuming the TOTAL amount of RAM remains the same for each configuration. If you have an application that can benefit from massive amounts of RAM, having the extra RAM will far outweigh the performance penalty of the extra AMBs per channel. (In my example, moving from 16 GB of RAM using four 4 GB FB-DIMMs to 64 GB by having sixteen 4 GB FB-DIMMs, would produce performance benefits to certain applications just from the amount of RAM.)
In addition, the new chipset, and newer FB-DIMM modules with newer AMBs, produces better results than the first-generation counterparts. For example, your Mac Pro benchmark showed CPU-Z latencies of 87 ns (quad-channel) and 92 ns (dual-channel, worse,) for the Mac Pro, vs. 52 ns for a Core 2 Duo with DDR-2 800; the new benchmark shows 79 ns for the 5400 chipset in dual-channel (assuming the same %, quad-channel should show 74 ns,) vs. 55 ns for a Core 2 Quad with DDR-2 800. Yeah, 74 is still slower than 55, but it's better than the 87 ns the (original) Mac Pro scored. (The new Mac Pro should see an improvement on par with this Skulltrail board over the old Mac Pro.) Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkYou are correct on the FBD/latency issue. We didn't have small enough FB-DIMMs on hand to run a 4x1GB configuration, but the difference in latency is still not enough to change the situations where Skulltrail is outperformed by its desktop counterparts. The situation will be improved a bit but the point that I was trying to make is that in applications that can't take advantage of all 8 cores, Skulltrail will be slower thanks to its higher latency memory subsystem.
Take care,
Anand Reply
Googer - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkFor being a premium enthusiast product with a $500 price tag and server DNA, this thing better come with an intergrated SAS controller too. There are plenty of other server/workstation motherboards in this price range that offer SAS, if performance is the purpose for Skulltrails existance, there's no reason for it to be left out. 15,000 RPM drives for the win. Reply
dansus - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkI would imagine you would see more difference if you used the multi threaded .dll (mt.dll) with x264 when encoding.
Especially if your doing a 2+ pass encode where the first pass typically uses 50% cpu.
I can see myself buying one later in the year as prices come down. At the very least, i can do two quad core encodes at once. Reply
JKing76 - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkIt's no secret that at a certain point, the computer "enthusiast" market is more about bragging than performance. But this is the most absurd and pointless release of pure e-penis waggling I've ever seen, and as a computer engineer I am literally embarrassed that a legitimate company like Intel is responsible. The EPA should fine Intel for this debacle, penalize them for each machine sold, and confiscate the computers of anyone selfish and stupid enough to buy one. Reply
SiliconDoc - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkWow. I get a kick out the bloggers that so often find so many problems with the really high end machines. Strangely enough they never seem to post their "rig" stats when they are having a big fit of complaints.
I suspect the real problem is massive e-penis envy, and expecting the government to shutdown a private firms product, confiscate purchasers products unless they pass your "needs" test, and maybe give them a greenpeace fine and carbon tax (I know it crossed someones mind) seems to me to be the biggest green streak of jealousy I've yet to witness.
The bottom line is, more than 99% of the freaks reading this review would wet their pants and float off into heavenly bliss if they found the "Skulltrail" ( that's what I find offensive - the sick name ) on their desk in the morning.
I find the whole thing much like let's say a bunch of guys at an auto show putting down the swing-up door 10/80 stainless brand new XXX sports car, when deep down inside not a one of them would turn down the set of keys, no matter how often they'ed claim otherwise.
Suddenly all that extra cpu-horsepower here would be the prudent reserve for the upcoming releases that no doubt very soon will make use of it all, since dou and quads are now getting to be commonplace.
It's just all so amusing, when Jones' hate the new McMansion, basically because they aren't living it. Reply
Nihility - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkWhy didn't AMD make this available with phenom? would have won them the performance crown (sorta since this apparantly doesn't scale very well). Reply
legoman666 - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkthe scalability has nothing to do with the platform, it has to do with the apps themselves. 2x phenoms will scale no better than 2x Intel quad. There are simply few programs out there designed to take advantage of >1 core, much less 8. Reply
chizow - Monday, February 04, 2008 - link
we don't have a problem recommending it, assuming you are running applications that can take advantage of it. Even heavy multitasking won't stress all 8 cores, you really need the right applications to tame this beast.
Not sure how you could come to that conclusion unless you posted some caveats like 1) you're getting it for free from Intel or 2)you're not paying for it yourself or have no concern about costs.
Besides the staggering price tag associated with it ($500 + 2 x Xeon 9770 @$1300-1500 + FB-DIMM premium) there's some real concerns with how much benefit this set-up would yield over the best performing single socket solutions. In games, there's no support for Tri-SLI and beyond for NV parts although 3-4 cards may be an option with ATI. 3 seems more realistic as that last slot will be unusable with dual-cards.
Then there's the actual benefit gained on a practical basis. In games, looks like its not even worth bothering with as you'd most likely see a bigger boost from buying another card for SLI or CrossFire. For everything else, they're highly input intensive apps, so you spend most of your work day preparing data to shave a few seconds off compute time so you can go to lunch 5 minutes sooner or catch an earlier train home.
I guess in the end there's a place for products like this, to show off what's possible but recommending it without a few hundred caveats makes little sense to me. Reply
chinaman1472 - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkThe systems are made for an entirely different market, not the average consumer or the hardcore gamer.
Shaving off a few minutes really adds up. You think people only compile or render one time per project? Big projects take time to finish, and if you can shave off 5 minutes every single time and have it happen across several computers, the thousands of dollars invested comes back. Time is money. Reply
chizow - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkI didn't focus on real-world applications because the benefits are even less apparent. Save 4s on calculating time in Excel? Spend an hour formatting records/spreadsheets to save 4s...ya that's money well spent. The same is true for many real world applications. Sad reality is that for the same money you could buy 2-3x as many single-CPU rigs and in that case, gain more performance and productivity as a result. Reply
Cygni - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkAs we both noted, 'real world' isnt just Excel. Its also AutoCAD and 3dsmax. These are arenas where we arent talking about shaving 4 seconds, we are talking shaving whole minutes and in extreme cases even hours on renders.
This isnt an office computer, this isnt a casual gamers machine. This is a serious workstation or extreme enthusiast rig, and you are going to pay the price premium to get it. Like I said, this is a CAD and 3D artists dream machine... not for your secretary to make phonetrees on. ;)
In this arena? I cant think of any machines that are even close to it in performance. Reply
chizow - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkAgain, in both AutoCAD and 3DSMax, you'd be better served putting that extra money into another GPU or even workstation for a fraction of the cost. 2-3x the cost for uncertain increases over a single-CPU solution or a second/third workstation for the same price. But for a real world example, ILM said it took @24 hours or something ridiculous to render each Transformer frame. Say it took 24 hours with a single Quad Core with 2 x Quadro FX. Say Skulltrail cut that down to 18 or even 20 hours. Sure, nice improvement, but you'd still be better off with 2 or even 3 single CPU workstations for the same price. If it offered more GPU support and non-buffered DIMM support along with dual CPU support it might be worth it but it doesn't and actually offers less scalability than cheaper enthusiast chipsets for NV parts. Reply
martin4wn - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkYou're missing the point. Some people need all the performance they can get on one machine. Sure batch rendering a movie you just do each frame on a separate core and buy roomfulls of blade servers to run them on. But think of an individual artist on their own workstation. They are trying to get a perfect rendering of a scene. They are constantly tweaking attributes and re-rendering. They want all the power they can get in their own box - it's more efficient than trying to distribute it across a network. Other examples include stuff like particles or fluid simulations. They are done best on a single shared memory system where you can load the particles or fluid elements into a block of memory and let all the cores in your system loose on evaluating separate chunks of it.
I write this sort of code for a living, and we have many customers buying up 8 core machines for individual artists doing exactly this kind of thing. Reply
Chaotic42 - Tuesday, February 05, 2008 - linkAnyone can come up with arbitrary workflows that don't use all of the power of this system. There are, however, some workflows which would use this system.
I'm a cartographer, and I deal with huge amounts of data being processed at the same time. I have mapping program cutting imagery on one monitor, Photoshop performing image manipulation on a second, Illustrator doing TIFF separates on a third, and in the background I have four Excel tabs and enough IE tabs to choke a horse.
Multiple systems makes no sense because you need so much extra hardware to run them (In the case of this system, two motherboards, two cases, etc) and you'll also need space to put the workstations (assuming you aren't using a KVM). You would also need to clog the network with your multi-gigabyte files to transfer them from one system to another for different processing.
That seems a bit more of a hassle than a system like the one featured in the article.
Cygni - Monday, February 04, 2008 - linkI dont see any problem with what he said there.
All you talked about was gaming, but lets be honest here, this is not a system thats going to appeal to gamers, and this isnt a system setup for anyone with price concerns.
In reality, this is a CAD/CAM dream machine, which is a market where $4-5,000 rigs are the low end. In the long run for even small design or production firms, 5 grand is absolute peanuts and WELL worth spending twice a year to have happy engineers banging away. The inclusion of SLI/Crossfire is going to move these things like hotcakes in this sector. There is nothing that will be able to touch it. And thats not even mentioning its uses for rendering...
I guess what im saying is try to realize the world is a little bit bigger than gaming. Reply
Knowname - Sunday, February 10, 2008 - linkOn that note, is there any studies on the gains you get in CAD applications by upgrading your videocard?? How much does the gpu really play in the process?? The only significant gain I can think of for CAD is quad desktop monitors per card with Matrox vid cards. I don't see how the GPU (beyond the RAMDAC or whatever it's called) really makes a difference. Pls tell me this, I keep wasting my money on ATI cards (not mention my G550 wich I like, but it wasn't worth the money I spent on it when I could have gotten a 6600gt...) just on the hunch they'd be better than nvidea due to the 2d filtering and such (not really a big deal now, but...)

"We greatly appreciate the interest and support shown by leading healthcare companies and investors," said Michael Gertner, MD, founder and CEO of Kona Medical. "The resources provided by this financing will advance our mission to offer a treatment alternative for the millions of people who suffer from resistant hypertension."
The Kona Surround SoundTM system utilizes ultrasound, delivered from outside the body, to treat the nerves leading to and from the kidney. Renal denervation has been shown in clinical studies to lead to significant and lasting reductions in high blood pressure. At the TCT conference in October, Kona announced initial results from its WAVE I clinical study. Unlike other methods which rely on a catheter emitting therapeutic energy through the wall of the renal artery to affect the renal nerves, Kona's external Surround SoundTM technology uses a novel method of treating the nerves from outside the patient.
The fully non-invasive system the company is developing may greatly expand access to renal denervation therapy and offer a more patient-friendly alternative for the tens of millions of people who suffer from drug-resistant hypertension.

Use Pesticides for Bed Bugs Properly
CDC Health Advisory: Health Concerns about Misuse of Pesticides for Bed Bug Control
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are alerting the public to an emerging national concern regarding misuse of pesticides to treat infestations of bed bugs and other insects indoors. Some pesticides are being applied indoors even though they are approved only for outdoor use. Even pesticides that are approved for indoor use can cause harm if over-applied or not used as instructed on the product label.
ATSDR warns that outdoor pesticides should not be used indoors under any circumstances. You should always carefully read the product label to make sure that:
- it has an EPA registration number;
- it is intended for indoor use;
- it is effective against bed bugs (the label should say it is meant to be used to treat your home for bed bugs); and
- you know how to properly mix the product (if a concentrate) and where and how to apply it safely within the home.
Read more details in the CDC's Health Advisory.
To report a possible pesticide misuse in Virginia, contact a Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Pesticide Investigator.
Learn How to Properly Use Pesticides
Bed bugs live indoors but there are relatively few pesticides that are labeled for indoor use. There are even fewer pesticides that are labeled for bed bug control. It is important to use pesticides appropriately and to follow the label instructions, especially when using approved pesticides indoors because people (particularly children) and pets have a greater risk of exposure.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
"I have people who will run through walls to get something done for Jerry."
-- Pete DeRaps, area merchandizing manager, Sure Winner Foods
If you wish your team would work harder, produce better results and show initiative, start by looking in the mirror and ask yourself:
Recently, at a Leading by Example seminar, I noticed a team of managers who stood out because of their clear passion for their work, being their best, and making a difference. They even talked about leadership books they had read. That fact alone made me take notice, since most participants I poll haven't heard of (let alone read) 90 percent of the books I mention.
As the day unfolded and they revealed more of who they were and what they were about, I remembered how this same group stood out in a previous seminar, for the same reasons. They had an energy and enthusiasm about them that I rarely saw in others.
Clearly, they worked in an environment that fostered passion, commitment and pride. I wondered what their manager had done to foster such an environment and grow such a great group of leaders. Always interested in what great leaders do to create an atmosphere that brings out the best in people, I decided to find out.
So, I contacted Jerry Merrill, the director of merchandising at Sure Winner Foods, an ice cream, novelties and frozen food distributor, to find out what he does to create such an inspired, "can do" culture. I also interviewed several of his managers.
I can honestly say I have never met a leader more beloved and respected by his people. I have never met a leader whose team repeatedly talked about how much they admired their manager and how much they consciously worked at treating their team the way Jerry treats them.
To fully disclose my findings would take a 10- to 15-page whitepaper. Instead, I will share these findings with you in "installments" to make the takeaway points easier to digest.
In this installment, we'll look at the impact it makes when a leader truly does lead by example, as well as a few specifics on what this leader does to foster such a committed, enthusiastic team.
I want to share with you the "why" first, because for you to do the work to become an even better leader will take commitment, self-discipline and work on your part. For you to do the hard work, you need to believe it's worth it. So we will start with the "Is it really worth it?" question with these stories Jerry Merrill's management team shared with me.
How would you like this kind of employee engagement and initiative?
Sure Winner Foods Area Manager Pete DeRaps shared a story about his team and what they did at their annual awards and recognition meeting for the Merchandizing division:
"Here we are at this big meeting and it's happy hour. We've been at it since 6:30 a.m. and there's still the evening awards session ahead of us. My team chases me down and says, 'We want to have a meeting and come up with some good questions for the Q&A session that's coming up later.'"
This is the same team that decided it would meet on a monthly basis on its own time to grow as a team, stay in the loop and become even better leaders. This team also won four awards at the event.
What difference would it make to your team results if your managers and all of your employees showed this level of initiative?
As you think about what Pete Desraps might be doing to foster this kind of enthusiasm and engagement, also think of the truism "Leadership starts at the top." While I have met supervisors and managers who demonstrate far better leadership skills than their own manager, it's obviously far more likely that your people will be great leaders if you model great leadership behaviors.
When employees know they matter, they act like they matter
Jason Carr, another area manager at Sure Winner Foods, recounted his first few days on the job and how he realized that he was now working for a leader who cared about what his people thought, wanted them to speak up, and actually listened.
"For someone starting out, it takes time to realize you have a voice. With Jerry, I realized from day one that I had a voice; that there were no repercussions for speaking up."
How did he get the message that his voice was valued and speaking up was encouraged? He noticed that Jerry not only listened to his team members' opinions, he encouraged them to speak up if they disagreed with his perspective. How often have you seen this happen in your career?
If you have been lucky enough to have a manager who encouraged you to speak up and offer a different perspective, you know how much more engaged you are when your voice is heard and respected. You want to offer your ideas, you want to make things better. You want to make a difference.
When employees feel they matter, they act like they matter. They share their ideas, they offer ideas on how processes and products can be improved, they look for ways to make a contribution. In short, they act like "players" rather than hired hands.
Who you are speaks so loudly
Often when I asked Jerry's team for specific examples of what he did that fostered respect and commitment, and what made him inspiring. They struggled to find the words. After several follow-up questions for specific examples of what he did, I would get comments like "It's just the way Jerry is" or "It's just the way he carries himself." It seemed like much of what made Jerry a great leader was not capable of being described with words.
At first blush, this might not seem terribly instructive, i.e. "Great…well I'm not him…so what can I learn from that?" But it's actually very instructive for three reasons:
I remember the head of one organization I worked with telling me that the weakest member of his leadership team kept telling him that he had been to many leadership seminars over the years and he knew everything that we were covering in mine. He might have known intellectually what the right things were, but he didn't do them. Also, his essence and presence did not inspire confidence, loyalty, or engagement in his team. Thus, his intellectual knowledge did not translate into results.
So, if you want to be a strong, inspiring leader who gets results, make sure you work on yourself, so who you are, so your presence, inspires others.
Where to Start
Start by asking your peers and your own manager for feedback on what they see as your greatest strengths and areas that you most need to work on. Their willingness to share honestly and openly with you will obviously depend on your track record of openness, and willingness to listen. Also the stronger your personality, the less likely people are to give you difficult news. So, the value of this will depend on all of these variables.
Conduct both a self-assessment and get 360-degree feedback to find out what you do really well and in what areas you need to improve.
Engage an outsider to augment the feedback provided by your 360-feedback survey by conducting in-depth interviews.
Share with your team the results and what you will be working on.
Engage your team in conversations about how you can be an even more effective leader.
Develop, whether on your own or with the help of a coach, a development plan to help you grow. By doing so, you will "grow" better results, you will grow your team to be leaders who also lead by example, and you will grow your business or division.

The LSU football program has a nation's-best 13 invitees to the NFL Scouting Combine workouts that will be held Feb. 20-26 in Indianapolis.
The official list was released Thursday with LSU having the most players chosen among the 333 names on the list, topping Florida State by one.
LSU was one of four Southeastern Conference schools to have 10 or more invitees along with Georgia (11) and two-time BCS national champion Alabama and Florida (10 each).
All 11 LSU underclassmen that declared early for the draft in January were invited along with two seniors to attend what is often referred to as the "ultimate job interview."
LSU's list is topped by two projected first-round picks — defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery — as well as safety Eric Reid, another player expected to go high in the April 25-27 draft.
Also on the list are linebacker Kevin Minter, cornerback Tharold Simon, defensive tackle Bennie Logan, defensive end Lavar Edwards, tackle Chris Faulk, running backs Michael Ford and Spencer Ware, center P.J. Lonergan, and punter Brad Wing.
Edwards and Lonergan are the lone seniors among LSU's invitees.
Former LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, who was dismissed from the team in August before the start of his junior season, also received a coveted invitation to the combine.
Also on the list is Southeastern Louisiana cornerback Robert Alford, a former Hammond High School standout who turned some heads at the Senior Bowl last month.
Also invited were five Louisiana Tech stars — quarterback Colby Cameron, wide receiver Quinton Patton, tackle Jordan Mills, offensive lineman Oscar Johnson, and punter Ryan Allen.
Tennessee tackle Dallas Thomas, a Scotlandville Magnet graduate, was also selected to attend the workouts. Alabama running back and former Dutchtown star Eddie Lacy is among the Tide's 10 invitees.
LSU's pro day is scheduled for March 27.

IRVINE, Calif. – The Master's College women's volleyball squad lifted its season record to 8-1 as it cruised past the Scarlet Hawks of Illinois Tech in three sets (25-21, 25-10, 25-13) on the second day of the ASICS/Wyndham Hotel Labor Day Classic at Concordia University in Irvine.
The Mustangs took the first set on the strength of two 4-0 runs and capitalized on a multitude of Scarlet Hawk errors. TMC adjusted defensively to Illinois Tech's responsive attacks and took the first set at 25-21. TMC's Sam Dougherty (Madera, CA) contributed to the first set with seven kills and eventually finished the day with 20 kills and a .586 hitting percentage.
The Lady Mustangs continued the momentum from their game one victory, jumping out to leads of 6-0 and later 20-6 in the second game. Finishing off the set at 25-10, the Mustangs collectively notched 14 kills, an impressive one error, and a hitting percentage of .542.
Set three carried the Mustangs' dominant presence as they secured the match with a 25-13 win. The third set featured three sets of 4-0 runs, and one 3-0 skein. Dougherty notched an impressive six kills which helped secure the Mustangs' third set win and eighth match victory of the season.
TMC had little time to rest after the match as the team faced the UC Merced Bobcats later that day at 5:00 PM.

Did you know?
The Gariep Dam, completed in 1971, is the largest dam in South Africa. 'Gariep' is an ancient San word for 'great water'.
Perhaps the most beautiful dam in South Africa, the Gariep Dam lies between the Free State and Eastern Cape provinces.
This massive piece of water covers more than 370 sq km when full, and can store nearly 6 000-million cubic litres, giving life and flow to the Great Fish River, the Sundays River and, the mother of all South African rivers, the Orange.
It was officially opened in 1971 and overflowed for the first time the next year. In 1975 an 82km tunnel was opened, sending water from the Gariep into both the Fish River Valley and the Sundays River Valley.
Overlooking the great expanse of water is the town of Gariep Dam, established in 1960 for the resident labour force. As the youngest town in South Africa, Gariep Dam has become a popular holiday resort, and is home to about 600 people. On a ridge overlooking the dam is the De Stijl Gariep Hotel, a surprisingly cosmopolitan establishment you would probably expect to see in a large city more often than a tiny Free State village. It is popular with locals, contractors working the area and visitors to the dam.
At the waterside is a Forever Resorts holiday camp, complete with chalets and boating facilities. Nearby is the Gariep Nature Reserve, which runs around part of the dam.
Two more lakeside reserves (the Oviston Nature Reserve and the Tussen-die-Riviere Reserve near Bethulie) will one day combine with the Gariep Nature Reserve to form nearly 100 000ha of 'wilderness at the water'.
The other great attraction of Gariep Dam is in the air: there's an airfield with a double-tarred runway, and the kind of aerial conditions that make the district ideal for flying gliders.
International gliding championships are held there every December, and a number of world gliding records have been set in this area.

HOUSTON - One man is dead after a shooting at a southwest Houston apartment complex Saturday morning.
Houston police say two men returned to the Casa Miranda Apartments on Fondren near West Airport around 6:15 a.m. after spending time at a nightclub.
There was a knock on the door. When one of the men answered, two other men barged in shooting, according to police. The man who answered the door was shot. He died on the scene.
The other man inside the apartment was in a back bedroom at the time of the shooting and was not hurt.
Both suspects fled and are still missing.
Neighbors said investigators were in the area for about seven hours, trying to put all the pieces together.
"I was actually just laying in bed, next thing you know I heard about four gunshots. I jumped up, scared to come outside," said Boogie Garrett who lives nearby.
When the bullets flew, they weren't confined to the apartment. A bullet shot through a unit next door and grazed a crib where a baby usually sleeps. Fortunately the baby was not in the crib at the time of the shooting.
Police think robbery is the motive for the shooting, but do not know what was taken from the apartment. They also believe the suspects followed the victims home.
If you have any information, you're asked to give Crime Stoppers a call at 713-222-TIPS (8477).

Welcome to Liverpool Public Library
1991 Library HistoryOperation Oasis continued through March as the Gulf War began to come to a close. Many library employees volunteered their time to transport books, games and magazine donations to Grifiss Air Force Base in Rome where they were then shipped to Saudi Arabia.
1991 was "The Year of the Lifetime Reader" for the library. A year long calendar of events was mailed to the residents of the Liverpool Central School District. The theme was the creation of the Center for the Book of the Library of Congress. It supported the concept of literacy and reading projects that benefited all age groups. Special events included visits from the following authors: Johanna Hurwitz, Betty Greene, Hope Ryden, and Frederick Busch. There was also a poetry program given by local writer Stephen Dobyns.
Fred Lont joined the staff as a substitute reference librarian. He worked some evenings and many Sundays.
Library statistics were up again this year…reference was 21% above the previous year. The electronic patron counter tallied visits from 45,451 people.
The Optimist Club donated several fishing rods and tackle to the library. These unusual items were then made available for loan for the next ten years.
The Library acquired a color copier and staff from the Computer Department made calendars and greeting cards for patrons at reasonable prices. It proved to be a very popular service.
In May the library registered lpl.org as its domain name. Access was provided by a SLIP connection through PSA and eventually Nysernet. The electronic world provided gateways to the world, but only a limited number of staff participated at the onset. Jean Armour Polly spoke of our computing accomplishments at an American Library Association program in July.
On June 26th the library presented their $2.42 million budget to the public at the same time that the School District presented theirs. According to the Review it was a record year as more voters participated than in any other election since 1980. All of the school propositions failed and the library budget was defeated as well. The count was 2772-1733. Elected to the Board of Trustees were Larry Dunstone and incumbent Dr. James Klaiber .
At their July meeting the Board voted not to return to the voters ( as the Liverpool Central School District did) opting instead to make cuts in the various materials lines . Dr. Thomas J. Wells was elected Board president. Dorothy Morgan was appointed the official Secretary to the Board.
In July Board of Trustee member Patricia Mautino traveled to Washington D.C. to serve as one of nine hundred delegates to the White House Conference on Library and Information Services.
In November the library was named as a beta test site for the Library of Congress American Memory project. The collection of CD ROM and video disks consisted of text and photographs from centuries of American history. There were documents from the Continental Congress, recordings of American heroes like Pershing, Harding and Coolidge as well as photographs of the Pan American Exposition held in Buffalo in 1901 and other events. Part of the grant was a computer which offered key word searching of the collection. Liverpool Public Library was one of a dozen sites in the United States that was able to make this collection of rare items available to the public.
Once again the Board of Trustees recognized staff members for their dedication and superior work through the year. Those honored were Gina Fredericks and Vicky Kwasniewski received Merit Awards, Joe Pietricola received the Performance Award and Sue Burt received the Student Merit Award.
