WEYMOUTH will look to triumph over adversity tomorrow when they host Cambridge City at the Bob Lucas Stadium (3pm).
The Terras look likely to go into the clash with no recognised centre-backs but Brendon King is hopeful his men can still rise to the challenge against a Lilywhites side that have won four out of their last five league games.
The Weymouth boss said: "With Sam Poole, Kyle Critchell and Ed Palmer all suspended, we have desperately been trying to get in some cover and there is still time. However, if nothing materialises then we will just have to go as we are.
"It is still going to be 11 versus 11 and we will still have more than enough quality in the side to hurt them.
"If we can get the ball in the right areas and stay nice and solid we will stand every chance but there is no doubt it is going to be tough."
Commenting on City, King went on to add: "They were one of the favourites for promotion at the start of the season.
"They strengthened their squad in the summer and already they have had a great run in this season's FA Cup where they eventually went out to MK Dons in the first round after initially holding them to a draw.
"They are a big, strong side with a lot of quality players but as a squad we feel we can beat anyone on any given day.
"If we show the same work-rate and rise to the occasion then we will stand every chance.
"Sometimes in adversity people really step up to the plate and I am hoping that will be the case tomorrow."
Barry McConnell and Dan Smith will return to the Terras' ranks this weekend but there are a few players still carrying knocks.
King went on to say: "We have really had to wrap the lads up in cotton wool this week as the last thing we could afford was losing anyone else.
"Barry and Dan are back tomorrow, which is a big boost, and although some of the lads may have to play out of position I still believe we are more than capable of getting something from the game."
The Terras currently sit 13th, one point adrift of ninth-placed Cambridge, who have played two games less.
Terras (from): Evans, Povall, McConnell, Wells, Clarke, Holland, Sharpe, Walker, Reed, Clay, Duff, D Smith, Groves, Ford, Joyce, L Smith.

TV Support
Select the DVD, VCR, Game Console, HDTV, Camera, or Camcorder
Last Updated: Mon, 16 May 2016 > Related Articles
This article describes how to change the currently selected video input on a HDTV.
The back panel of an HDTV has many inputs. There are video inputs and audio inputs for plugging in the cables from other electronic devices. Depending on the model, an HDTV may have inputs for connecting a few or many electronics.
The HDTV must be "told" which electronic device you want to watch. If you want to watch Cable TV, you must "tell" the TV to go to the input where the cable box is connected. If you want to watch the DVD movie, you must tell the TV to go to the input where the DVD player is connected.
In the example below:
- A camcorder is connected to Video Input 1
- A game console is connected to Video Input 3
- A VCR is connected to Video Input 4
- A Cox HD cable box is connected to Video Input 5
- A DVD player is connected to Video Input 6
- An HDMI device is connected to Video Input 7
As with many TVs, Video Input 2 is located on the front panel of the TV.
Selecting the HDTV Input
To select the HDTV video input, use the following steps:
- Turn on the cable box and HDTV.
- Press the TV button once on the Cox remote control.
- Press the VIDEO SOURCE or INPUT button on the Cox remote control to switch from one video input source to another.
If you are unable to change the video input source with the Cox remote control, use the remote control that came with your HDTV. If the remote does not have a VIDEO SOURCE or INPUT button, refer to the HDTV user's guide for instructions on changing the input source.
- Continue to press the VIDEO SOURCE or INPUT button until the phrase HDTV Video Input displays on the TV screen.
Or, if the phrasing or options are unclear, turn on the device you want to watch – in this case the HDTV -- press the INPUT button on the remote that came with the HDTV, and begin selecting each option on the menu until regular TV programming returns to the HDTV screen.
Some TVs use the phrasing such as Video Input 1, Cable STB, HDMI, and so on to describe the currently selected video input. Refer to the HDTV user's guide for the wording specific to your HDTV.
- Exit the Input screen to watch video from the selected device.
All steps complete.

GENEROUS students and staff have teamed up boost the city's foodbank.
The student council of Worcester Sixth Form College organised the collection to provide Worcester Foodbank, which is run by the Trussell Trust in Carden Street, with enough produce to supply about eight families using the service.
Wendy Cartledge, of the Worcester Foodbank, said: "This makes such a difference to people living in food poverty. The college's collection will feed at least eight local families. It is great to see such collaboration between staff and students."
The college plans to continue its support for the Worcester Foodbank, with a further collection planned during the autumn term.

Extra Keying Helps
Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers
Questions and Answers
If you have a keying question that is not answered on the project page or in any of the information above, click "EDIT" and ask it here. (If you click on Rich Editor you won't have to worry about formatting your entry.) Then click "WATCH" at the top right on this page and you will be notified via email when an update has been made.
Q: When there are two names on one image (one on the left side/one on the right side), do we key each name in a separate section or continue in list form?
- A: In cases where you have more than one name on the image you continue to key in the same section on the next record.
Q: I have a set where there is tissue paper inserted between the pages as used to be found in old photo albums. The information is reasonably easily visble through the tissue paper but the tissue paper is moved from side to side in alternate images. Should I transcribe the information under the tissue paper in the first image then mark the second image as a duplicate?
- A: We would prefer to have the first image, covered with tissue paper, to be marked as the duplicate and key the uncovered, and presumably more clear, image. Obviously if it is the last image in the image set then yes, key the tissue covered image. Annafechter 21:48, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
If you have a suggestion or would like to make an addition to the project page, click "EDIT" and post your suggestion here. (If you click on Rich Editor you won't have to worry about formatting your entry.) Then click "WATCH" at the top right on this page and you will be notified via email when an update has been made.
1914 form
If the event date is actually 1914 do we use the post 1914 form or the standard form for keying?
- A: Any record with a 1914 date should be classified as a Post 1914 form type.
I have keyed quite a few sets of these and I am now reveiwing some. On the reveiw sets I am finding that most keyers are confused with the form types i.e. Admission instead of Commitment and using the Admission date as the Event Date.
Also, many have inferred gender when it is not shown. Is this correct?
I have found on some records when reading through it does refer to the child as his/him when it does say this I will put male but if nothing on record I don't, as far as the admission/commitment I have indexed them as admitted, I have asked many questions regarding this project via email and had no rely....now I have stopped indexing in fear of doing it wrong
- Just curious where you are emailing and not getting a reply - is it the support email, firstname.lastname@example.com? Annafechter 21:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Form Types
For the avoidance of doubt, could somebody please confirm that the sample image shown for "ADMISSIONS" on the help page is the only image where the Admissions form is used.
- I have looked through many more images and although I haven't found any other examples of an Admission I can tell you I have seen far more Commitments than Admissions. Annafechter 21:52, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/5/2013 (1568 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
New parents Mike Olson and Lisa Seel say they're trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare, trying to get the Province of Manitoba to recognize they are the parents of their own infant twins, Kai and Keenan.
"It's so silly and so frustrating," says Olson. "We've been through so much already."
The Charleswood couple tried for seven years to conceive a child. Repeated in-vitro and fertility treatments failed. Seel was worn out physically and emotionally.
Then her sister, Averill Stephenson, made them an offer. Stephenson and her husband Brennan, already the parents of two boys, said she would carry the couple's embryos. After a round of physical and psychological counselling, the procedure was approved. Thirty eggs were fertilized. By the time the date of the implantation arrived, only two were viable.
Stephenson underwent a round of hormone therapy to prepare for pregnancy. She says she volunteered because she knew her sister and brother-in-law would be terrific parents.
Both embryos were implanted. A blood test confirmed the pregnancy. Stephenson drove to her sister's house.
"I came to the door and said, 'We're having a baby!' "
Olson says they were overwhelmed.
"We'd been trying for so long."
The boys were born Dec. 24, 2012 in an emergency C-section. Kai, the smaller twin, wasn't moving much during a Christmas Eve ultrasound. Doctors opted for the surgery. The boys were almost 11 weeks premature.
The parenthood problems began at St. Boniface Hospital. Seel and Stephenson say the staff were terrific but had never faced a case like theirs.
"I went in and said, 'I'm the surrogate mom and this is the mother and father,' " Stephenson says. "We knew it was an unusual situation."
Olson and Seel were in the delivery room. Brennan Stephenson sat this one out. "I wasn't involved to that extent," he laughs.
The hospital put Stephenson's last name on the boy's wrist bracelets. She persuaded the nursing staff to give Olson and Seel bracelets so they could visit their sons in the intensive-care unit.
But the hospital entered the twins under Stephenson's medical number. When they visit their pediatrician, the records show their aunt's last name. As far as the government is concerned, Averill and Brennan Stephenson are the parents.
The two couples signed a legal surrogacy agreement, but their lawyer made some mistakes. They've been unable to correct them. Stephenson receives her sister's child tax credit. Olson isn't eligible for maternity leave. Legally, she isn't the mother of her fraternal twins.
Stephenson says someone from the Department of Vital Statistics called her in January saying there was a problem registering the twins. "I tried to explain they weren't my twins," she says. "They said if they came out of me, they were mine and Brennan was the father because he's my husband. He had nothing to do with this!"
The new parents have hired another lawyer to petition the courts to change Kai and Kennan's birth certificate to recognize them as the parents.
"It's very frustrating," says Seel, tears forming in her tired eyes. "We were at the NICU every day. It's frustrating not being recognized as the real parents."
Olson nods.
"It's a huge pain, and we don't need any more things to take up our time and our money."
The other, completely ridiculous option, would be for the Stephensons to arrange to have the birth parents adopt their own children privately.
Part of the legal wrangling now involves the Stephensons proving they are legally married. Their wedding was registered in their church but not through Vital Statistics.
"We have to get that straightened out so we can prove Brennan's my husband to prove he's the father even though he's not," says Averill Stephenson.
Despite their frustrations, the young parents are so grateful they have the children they wanted so desperately. They cradle the boys tenderly while their aunt looks on.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - It's fire awareness week in Florida.
State officials say Florida is the nation's leader in prescribed fires, burning more than two million acres of agricultural and natural lands each year.
According to a statement from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Florida Park Service, prescribed fires mimic naturally occurring fires and can help prevent devastating wildfires.
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Adam Putnam says: "Prescribed fire is a safe way to reduce hazardous fuels on Florida's forest lands and prevent devastating wildfires."
Prescribed Fire Awareness Week runs started on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Many state parks and trails will be conducting prescribed burns in the coming months.

In this second episode looking at VEGAS Pro, we're going to look at Editing Basics. Vegas is very similar to a lot of other track-based non-linear editors as it includes displays for viewing your source footage as well as the edit in the timeline. It's also a tool-based editor as you're able to achieve different tasks in the timeline based on the tool you have chosen. The toolbar is the place for all of those tools. In addition to what Vegas calls the Normal Edit Tool, editors familiar with other NLEs will recognize the Slip and Slide tools as well as the Time Stretch/Compress Tool among others that might be new to Vegas editors.

As a number of AIR developers have discovered, it's hard—but not impossible—to write files in the application's install directory. That's the same location given by File.applicationDirectory.
Granted, it's often a tempting thing to do. For example, many applications include a database or configuration file with some pre-filled data. Once installed, they often want to update that file, say with user-specific data or preferences.
The first problem with this is that it's not reliable. On some operating systems—Vista, for example—the installation directory is protected by the operating system. Even if AIR lets you write to this location Vista won't. So if you want to write portable applications, don't do this.
The second problem with this is that it's not safe. Any code written into this directory runs with application privilege, which can compromise your application, which can compromise the user's machine. That's why Vista protects these directories.
The third problem is that it invalidates your application's signature. Among other things, that means you won't have access to the encrypted local store any more.
It's also unnecessary. A safe and allowable alternative is to write somewhere into the user's directory. If you still want a starter file, it's easy to copy one from your install directory to the per-user location. Note that this also avoid problems if there are multiple users on the same machine.
In order to help developers avoid this pattern, AIR will prevent write access to this directory in most cases, and even when the underlying operating system allows it. There are currently ways around this, as it's advisory—not mandatory. However, the ability to go around this restriction is often misinterpreted as a defect, and we may close this off in a future release. You've been warned.

About Overlanding
What is Overlanding? Quite simply, Overlanding is a word synonymous with adventure. Long regarded as the most authentic way to discover the highlights of Africa, Overlanding is all about exploring the continent by road and immersing yourself in the culture and environment of the country you are travelling through.
An affordable and exciting form of travel, Overlanding allows like-minded people to come together in a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere, make friends and to share their travelling experiences. Make no mistake however: these tours are not specialist game viewing safaris (although much focus is indeed on Africa's wildlife) and Overland tours in Africa can be rough and rugged at times.
How tough is it?
Africa is an adventure destination and travelling here is not always predictable. You'll need a positive attitude, a good deal of flexibility and must be prepared to expect the unexpected and deal with any difficulties or delays which Africa might throw your way!
An Overland Africa itinerary may vary from time to time due to various factors – washed-away bridges, local politics, vehicle repairs - and in many areas Africa is unsophisticated and altogether lacking in infrastructure so by entering the journey without too many expectations of luxury and by travelling with an open mind, travellers will find that they will enjoy the trip so much more.
How do I travel and what do I have to do?
Overland travel is in a variety of vehicles including specially adapted expedition trucks, 4x4 vehicles or minibuses. Vehicles carry their own cooking equipment, food and water supplies, tents, camping gear and spare parts.
Overland tours are usually camping and participation trips: all group members pitch in and assist with camp chores including setting up camp, cooking and washing up. Accommodation is in tents but if you prefer not to camp, we also offer more upmarket trips where travel is still done overland by vehicle but you'll be staying in budget hotels and lodges.
Time and daily routines
Overland tours are based on daylight hours and clock time doesn't really matter, so expect to get up at dawn! Sunrise is often the best (and coolest) part of the day and if you're in a game park, it's of course the best time to see the most exciting animals.
Some driving days are very long, but others are only a few hours. You can expect to have a non-driving day every 3-4 days when you are in the same place for more than a couple of nights.
All for one, one for all
The easiest way to travel as a group is for each person to be responsible for a particular job such as cooking, cleaning, finding water or lighting the fire. No matter how unimportant it may seem, each job adds to the smooth running of the trip. If you can't do your bit on the odd occasion, see that someone else does it for you and help others when you can. This is part of your contribution to the success of the trip and the best way to get to know your fellow passengers.
You'll be travelling with strangers for a while: learn from each other's cultures and form a strong, supportive and fun team. Get involved, participate, throw yourself into the frenzy of overland life, and you will become not just a passenger, but an African Overlander.
Time Travel: two weeks or two months?
Overlanding has changed over the years in that it has become much quicker and it's now entirely feasible for people to explore large portions of Africa in just a few weeks rather than months.
Indeed, a few years ago you would have had to hand in your notice, say farewell to the family, pack up your home, and commit to several months of hard slog through Africa. Today, thanks to a comprehensive range of trips, improved infrastructure and excellent flight links between Africa and the rest of the world, you can discover the wonders of Africa on an overland tour that can last from just a week to two months.
There is now a far greater choice out there to suit your budget and time frame and still keep that job back home; speak to our consultants about what overland tour suits your requirements.

Silverstone Decathlon DA700 Super Silent Power Supplyby Christoph Katzer on 4/22/2008 12:00 AM EST

Back to Article
Spacecomber - Sunday, April 27, 2008 - linkDoes Silverstone offer any lower wattage Decathlons of the same type as this reviewed model, i.e., with the same very quiet characteristics? 700 watts is just way more power than I can imagine needing for a music server/home theatre PC.
And, I didn't understand why Silverstone and Impervio were considered to be unlikely partners. Can anyone shed a bit of light on that remark?
Finally (and least), I think this sentence on the first page is missing a word, "However, with this new Decathlon Silverstone is trying a different approach from what we have previously [seen?]."
Thanks. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Sunday, April 27, 2008 - linkSilverstone does have the ELEMENT series with 400 watts which is very nice as well.
The remark on Silverstone and Impervio was made because I said once that Impervio was formed by Silverstone. I then had major complaints from Impervio coming in since there were companies wanting to stop working with them if they belonged to Silverstone. Reply
Clue69Less - Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - linkBased on the review title, I'd expected to see some comparison data. Maybe the PCP&C Silencer 750 and the Zalman HP-700 units would be good to compare if having ample power in a quiet package. Sure, this review has quantitative SPL results but it would be nice to see an actual, real-time comparison. You know, like science typically does. Reply
Kanchenjunga - Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - linkYour methodology claims a 4 decimal place accuracy but the graphs aren't even visually accurate to 1 decimal place. The graphs should also reflect identical voltage ranges for equidistant lines but they don't, the first lines above and below nominal are only half or less the voltage range as the equidistant lines in the rest of the graph. As a result the voltage drops beyond a plus or minus 1% range aren't reflected accurately in the shape of the curve.
Also the 11.94V line in the 12V graph should be 11.64V and the 3.14V line should be labeled 3.13V if the graphs are supposed to be consistent above and below nominal. Reply
Stefan555 - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkThe label on the psu is not more complicated than on any other psu, its very easy to understand, I cant see what makes this label more complicated than any other label.
No offence Chris, but are you really sure you know how to read the labels? Reply
whatthehey - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkThe Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory in full effect (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/">http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/ for the uninformed).
The label lists combined 3.3V and 5V, but nothing about the 12V. 58A and 12V works out to 696W, which means you can't count on getting anywhere near 58A from the 12V lines. And there are four 12V rails, but no mention of the breakdown of power distribution. Hell, the label doesn't even let you know there are four rails! Yes, that's so much better than, say, the way Xigmatek did their labels: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.a...">http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.a...
It's not a huge complaint, but given the parity between power supplies it seems to me that a lame-ass label deserves a mention. Just like your comment deserved a rebuttal. No offense, but are you sure you know how to read technical reviews? Reply
jonnyGURU - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - link
The label lists combined 3.3V and 5V, but nothing about the 12V. 58A and 12V works out to 696W, which means you can't count on getting anywhere near 58A from the 12V lines.
Since there is bound to be a minimum load requirement on the other rails, it is true that it would be difficult to load the +12V up to 696W without going over 700W, but I fail to see how this makes for an argument that the label is any less comprehensive. When other PSU companies list the +12V capability in watts, I hear people complain that they have to bust out a calculator and divide by 12. Is it really so hard to go from wattage to amperage and vise versa when the voltage is known?
Unless you're using this sentence as a platform for your argument:
Obviously, that load is not possible with the combined power of all three main rails; doing the necessary math, if you put a load of 180W on the 3.3V and 5V rails, that leaves 520W for the 12V rail, or 43A.
I believe if you look at virtually ANY quality power supply on the market you're going to find that if you full load whatever the +3.3V and +5V combined is, that there is significantly less power available to the +12V. I say "quality" because any PSU that gives you a total wattage number that IS the sum of it's +3.3V and +5V and it's +12V is likely lying about it's actual total output capability. This has everything to do with a power supply's capability to convert AC to DC and then the unit's ability to regulate X amount of DC on the secondary side. Never does 3.3V + 5V + 12V = PSU's total capability.
And there are four 12V rails, but no mention of the breakdown of power distribution. Hell, the label doesn't even let you know there are four rails!
I must have missed this because nowhere could I find that this is a PSU with a split +12V rail. In fact, in this review it says: "The DA700 comes with a single 12V rail rated for up to 58A" and on SilverStone's website it says "Class-leading single +12V rail with 58A at 50?" so where are we getting four +12V rails from? Reply
strikeback03 - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkBottom of page 4: " The more important 12V rail, which is actually four separate rails, has similar good readings and always stays just above the specified 12.00V"
Stefan555 - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkYes, thats a statement in the review. Silverstone sell the psu as a single rail unit. You must prove Silverstone is hiding the truth, not just make a statement out of no-where.
Without proof the statement is worth nothing
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkIf someone would only look through all of the date before making comments. Please have a look in the gallery added to the Internals page. One might find a picture with the different 12V rails clearly marked on the PCB... additionally one might find the four different color markings on the yellow 12V cables on various kinds of pics from the article. Reply
Stefan555 - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkYes Chris, the physical layout of the PCB show there are four rails. It doesnt mean each rail has a limiter. Whitout limiters = SINGLE rail unit. Reply
Kanchenjunga - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkYou'd think that somebody who just reviewed the single 12V rail Impervio made EliteXStreams with 5 rails printed on the PCB and color coded wires would have this figured out by now. How come you guys don't do the OCP test that your testing method article talks about? Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkI guess that sentence where I mention the four rails has been just misleading as I didnt mean to say it's a four 12V rail PSU. I will change that for the sake of a good sleep tonight :) Reply
MrOblivious - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkWhat was the OCP set at for each of the 4 12v rails? Reply
Stefan555 - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - link"The rail specification is rather obfuscated, requiring several perusals and the use of a calculator before you actually understand what you're reading."
It's simple, what we are reading is the label, the label tells you it has an capability to put out 58A on one single rail on +12V (no matter the reality one or four rails). It also tells you the psu has the capability to put out 180W or combined on +3.3 and +5V. I can't see what is so obfuscated?
"The DA700 comes with a single 12V rail rated for up to 58A which is almost 700W already. Obviously, that load is not possible with the combined power of all three main rails; doing the necessary math, if you put a load of 180W on the 3.3V and 5V rails, that leaves 520W for the 12V rail, or 43A."
On which psu can you take the maximum combined output on +3.3V and +5V and add it with the maximum capability on +12V and get anywhere near the total specified wattage on the psu? None.
There is no psu where you can draw the maximum output on +3.3V and +5V combined and +12V at the same time.
This unit is not the only psu where the combined output on +12V is so high its more a theoretical maximum output. Other units has even less left for +3.3V and +5V. But that is pure theory.
If now the unit has four rails on +12V, well that is a bit of lame of Silvertone not to tell it. I agree. But still, it has nothing to do with the readability of the label. Besides it is mentioned later in the review.
Calin - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - link"The problem is that there are quite a lot of patents on larger fans"
How the hell could a larger fan be patented? What kind of backward country is that? Reply
Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkThe patent is a power supply cooled by a 140mm fan. That's why other manufacturers (other than CWT the patent owner) need to make use of 135mm or 120mm fans. In the U.S you get patents for all kinds of stuff... Reply
masher2 - Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - linkSounds like an urban myth to me.. Reply

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Criticism is a comment or judgment made to find fault in an idea. This can be bad for creativity, especially when it comes from a boss or a spouse. When someone produces a new idea, it is likely that they are already a little insecure about it. Criticism often feels like a personal attack. As a result, most people become defensive when criticized and will stubbornly defend their idea even if the criticism has merit.
Criticism has no place in a brainstorm, but once you have selected an idea to pursue, it is a valuable tool. Accepting criticism and using it to improve your ideas are critical to producing quality solutions. Remember that the criticism is not about you; it is about the idea. Try to divorce yourself from your idea and pretend that it just fell out of the sky. This will help you look at it objectively and recognize if the criticism is valid.
Avoid being defensive. Instead, ask lots of clarifying questions and find out what changes the critic would make. Be sure to refer back to the goals so that you aren't solving problems that you do not need to solve. Once you fully understand what the critic is trying to say, you can decide if they have any validity.
A supportive environment that gives good criticism and encourages wild ideas will help people become more comfortable with creativity.

Facility- and Real Estate Management are on the way to become grown up management disciplines. Managers understand that without a secondary process a primary process cannot exist. Facility- and Real Estate Management are considered nowadays as important parts of the overall business. As a result of this development managers of these departments are more involved in the company's strategy than ever before and this involvement is not only from a secondary process viewpoint. Assets and facilities services together are responsible for the appropriate support of the primary processes and its stakeholders. Together with the core business they are partners in a kind of joint venture for the benefit of all the stakeholders. Departmental borders get blurred and all business processes interfere. Therefore the Facility- and Real Estate managers have to think and to manage in terms of strategy, choices, visions and goals of the overall business.
Planning should be done in the context of the company business plan. It is important to understand the relationship between the company's business plan, the facility/real estate management plan, and the single strategy of the business units. Incorporated in the task of the manager are two focal points: The first is the use of organisational objectives, both long- and short term. The second is the effective management of the facility/real estate departmental unit(s) within the organisation. Important in his field is the focus on the total environment of the organisation: local, regional, national and global; because a Facility- and Real Estate manager is acting in relationship with- and being responsible for the global world.
Study Plan 2015/2016
The Master Facility- & Real Estate Management (MSc degree) is a 12 month full time study with a study load of 60 credits (ECTS). Integration on a strategic level of Facility- and Real Estate Management is the key issue in this program. This is based upon the insight that assets and facility services together are responsible for the appropriate support of the primary processes and its stakeholders. The program consists of three terms of 4 month each. In Term I the focus is on Strategic Business Management and Strategic Building Management. In Term II the focus is on Strategic Asset Management and Strategic Facility Management. Next to this there is an Module Academic Skills that will be attended during term I and II. Term III is completely focused on the dissertation or thesis, a most valuable instrument for students to customize the program by doing elaborated research on a subject of their own choice. This Research can start as soon as the proposal students need to develop in the module Academic Skills is approved.

Interior Architecture Master

What can this Master Interior Architecture offer you?. Perception and expression in the architecture of the interior.

What can this Master Interior Architecture offer you?
Perception and expression in the architecture of the interior
What makes a certain place so characteristic? Is it the light, falling in a specific angle through the glass windows? The material and colors of the chairs, tables, curtains, walls, floor? The specific sounds of the room? The touch, the smell of things? The people …? Phenomenological aspects determine the atmosphere of an interior.
The core
Interior at our Master Interior Architecture is no niche, nuance or aspect of architecture, but a fundamental attitude towards the surrounding world. The core of this Master is the understanding of a place in all its manifestations, before you start to transform it because of changing needs and requirements.
What will you learn?
You will learn to develop a concept for a space based on your own ideas and artistic vision and realize that concept. Important part is how to present your conclusions as an essential component of your architectural design. At each assignment you will be asked to draw connections between your own work and that of others and between your work and the audience. Also you will make an active contribution in collaborative projects. In the two years you study in Maastricht you will get the chance to deepen your design skills, personal interpretation of the professional situation and artistic talent. You will obtain subject matter knowledge, insights and skills based on your own applied research.
English/Dutch. The lecturers also speak German.
Study Programme
The first year
Your own atelier
In the first year you will work in your own atelier, where you fulfill hypothetical assignments and where you evaluate your design process step-by-step with your lecturers. In these assignments you will explore materiality, light, time, scale and composition.
We start an assignment with excursions to different places, where you test these with your senses and explore it with our time's state of mind, from within. You research the place's anatomy, induce empathy and construct understanding. You formulate an intention of how to rebalance the choreography meaningfully and you exemplify the intended meaning as a built structure of explicit materiality. In these assignments the theoretical research and analysis play a key role.
Your graduation project
Final master assessment
In the second year you will focus on your thesis and final work piece. Your graduation project is the final master assessment. With this assessment you will proof that you are able to practice the profession. You will position yourself as an interior architect and present you to the outside world so that you can build the foundation for a future career. It also offers the possibility of a critical contribution to the debate on topical issues, and is valuable for the further development of the field.
Free to choose
The subject of your final project is free to choose but still fairly close in the broad sense of the interior. It is a hypothesis in a built-up area context. The selection and motivation of your graduation project is part of the graduation plan that is submitted. You will have to conclude the place and the primary idea of the intention.
Thesis and anatomical model
Your graduation project consists of two connected layers: the thesis and the anatomical model. The thesis should form the foundation of your project, based of language and theoretical research in historical, philosophical, cultural and socio-political sense. The anatomical model is the concrete implementation of your intention and includes all spatial elements.

The programme is delivered jointly by the five institutions and students registered at any one of the institutions are able to undertake modules both at their home institution and at any one of the partner institutions.
The programme aims to offer midwives the possibility of studying midwifery at an advanced level. It aims to stimulate a European exchange of theory and practice and to consider the contents of the study course from a European perspective. The coordination of the European MSc Midwifery is being carried out by Glasgow Caledonian University which has extensive experience running MSc Midwifery programmes.
The programme offers midwives the chance to gain internationally accepted and accredited additional skills. These will qualify them for leadership positions in midwifery research, education and practice. This programme offers midwives opportunities to strengthen personal professional competencies and to undertake further study in such areas as clinical research, modern management methods and recent teaching and learning strategies.
Students can select modules which are offered by any of the partner institutions.
The programme lasts for two years when undertaken on a full time basis and can be prolonged up to five years when on part time. Recognition of prior learning is possible but does not accrue an actual mark only credits. Please have a closer look at the regulation of those universities which admit students (Hannover, Glasgow).

One image tells more than a thousand words
It is not surprising that in biomedical sciences traditionally illustrations are created to enable communication between scientist and author, teacher and student, or physician and patient. Art and science come together in scientific illustration.
Your future expertise
When you graduate, you are a specialist who makes accurate visualisations of topics from the clinical, medical and biological domain. You have the skills to use a wide range of traditional and digital visualisation techniques.
Best of two top universities
The Master Scientific Illustration is an international study programme in which you will meet students from European countries and beyond. Unique in Europe. It is cooperation between the Faculty of Arts at Zuyd University of Applied Science in Maastricht and the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences at Maastricht University.
English/Dutch. The lecturers also speak German.
The teaching programme
Training in technical skills
Your training has a strong emphasis on the application of conventional imaging techniques in conjunction with photography, video and computer techniques for accurate two-dimensional display of three-dimensional structures. Additional training in digital three-dimensional reconstruction and modelling is given in workshops. You acquire a broad theoretical basis as well as practical experience in working with medical techniques such as dissection, processing of microscopic and macroscopic serial sections and working with medical imaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Becoming a scientific storyteller
To be able to create a scientifically correct image, you must not only be a good craftsman, but also an outstanding 'storyteller' and communicator. You must be capable of communicating with specialists from different scientific fields, understanding the scientific problem and then be able to convert it into visualisation for a specific target audience. Creating images for patient education requires a different approach than creating images for a group of medical specialists. For this reason you will not only be trained in anatomy and medical nomenclature but you'll also be guided in the field of communication. Furthermore, by means of practical assignments (including illustrating a surgical procedure) you will build up experience in making abstractions and schematisations of the reality to create an image that tells the scientific story in the best possible way.
The themes
The teaching programme is build up in three themes:
- Man
- Animal
- Human and Animal Surgery
Each of the themes consists of three to five components and each component involves one or more assignments, which deal with various aspects of scientific illustration and in which various traditional visualisation techniques are practised and applied. The assignments are graded in terms of complexity, leading up to the level required for professional practice.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Sophomore Sam Mattis set a school recordduring the third day of the NCAA East Preliminary Round and advanced to the NCAA final along with senior Maalik Reynoldson Saturday at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.
In each field event, the top 12 finishers advance to compete in the finals of the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore.Mattis broke his own school record in the discus on his first toss and advanced to the final weekend of the NCAA meet. The only Penn athlete in history to surpass 60 meters in the event, Mattis did so for the sixth time this year with a throw of 62.13 meters (203 feet, 10 inches) to surpass his previous school record by nearly a foot. It remained his best toss throughout the competition and placed him fourth overall to clinch his spot in the NCAA final.
A five-time All-American, Reynoldsfinished third in the high jump to join Mattis in Oregon. The senior was one of four to clear 2.17 meters (7-01.50 ft.). He only missed once en route to that height and cleared it on his first attempt to solidify his spot in the NCAA final. Meanwhile, sophomore Tom Pitt finished 23rd overall in the event as he cleared 2.10 meters (6-10.75 ft.).
Sophomore Thomas Awad, who was an All-American in the 5,000 meters during his freshman year, was unable to compete in the event due to illness on Saturday. He competed in the quarterfinals of the 1,500 meters after advancing past the first round on Thursday and finished 24th overall with a time of 3:58.65. Prior to this meet, Awad had won six straight events which included breaking a 36-year-old record in the 5,000 meters and the second sub-four minute mile in school history.
On the first day of competition, sophomore Kelsey Hay advanced to the finals of the NCAA Championships in the women's javelin.
Next up for Mattis, Reynolds and Hay are the finals of the NCAA Championships at Oregon's Hayward Field, June 11-14.

So this is 50 years ago, and the goobers standing behind the lunch counter sit-ins are probably in their early 70's at this point. Most of them are likely still alive. I've seen this photograph before, and I am guessing some of the aforementioned "goobers" have as well. One wonders how they look back at this moment in time. With shame? With sadness? Regret? Pride? Anger? How would you like that image to be your own little personal mark on history, for all eternity?

ckryan - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI really like the upscale HTPC build. I've been wanting an InfiniTV quad for quite some time now, but I've been told it won't work well with my cable provider (by one of their technicians).
I like that all the systems have SSDs (M4s and Samsung 830s). The new Marvel controlled drives with Toshiba toggle NAND have a healthy increase in speed over the Marvel-equipped M4 and it's 25nm Micron *AAB sync NAND. The Corsair undercuts the M4 in price at the 128GB level, but the M4 seems to have gone up in price recently. The Samsung 830 is similarly fast, and I got a free copy of Arkham City with mine. Reply

87_heavyboy - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkThe ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT looks nice at first glance, so I bought it, too. Together with the i7 2600K. I also thought "great, m-ITX + overclocking - something for the future". In practice, it has its problems. The mosfets don't have coolers on them, they get hot quite fast, resulting in throttling. The board can't hold 3.4 GHz for some minutes during compilation :( I did not even think about overclocking!
The other problem: It supports Overclocking but no undervolting. SNB comes with quite defensive default-voltage, resulting in good undervolting-potential.
It pulls just ~30W at idle.
I think, it would have been a better choice to go mATX, if it should be a smaller PC. Reply
duploxxx - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkthis HTPC design is a huge waste of money Reply
MrTeal - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI was curious about that too.
My HTPC is a low power, quiet affair with an X3, a modded and silent 5570 and an SSD, no mechanical HDD. Any encoding I do on my main rig so that my HTPC stays low power and silent, and just stream the data over the network.
Do many people really build powerful and expensive HTPCs? I find usingmine as a PC @ 1080p/47" is kind of a poor experience when you're sitting at normal TV viewing distances, so all I really use mine for is a media streamer and checking scores / watching Youtube. Any real computing I just do at my desktop. I'd be interested in how other people use these HTPCs. Reply
Z Throckmorton - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkGenerally speaking, an AMD E-350 setup is sufficient for the majority of HTPC usage scenarios. However, I have built a few more powerful HTPCs for people who want to transcode video but don't want their primary home computer tasked as a video editor, and don't want to bother with a LAN. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkThat is bollocks. They clearly state they are not going with a traditional HTPC setup (i.e. just be able to play back everything). They want performance for coding, HDTV streaming capabilities and storage as well. If people are in the market for that and have the cash, there is nothing I would really see being done to bring down the price while maintaining the performance.
I personally have a small media client and a large file server in the back and I'm not interested in HDTV stuff. I came away spending about 400€. Reply
piroroadkill - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI wouldn't recommend them, anymore. I've seen my 2GB Radeon 6950 use more than 1GB with GPU-Z open on another screen. For the slight extra cost, and the chance of unlocking (mine did, and it's not so old), 2GB 6950 all the way, all the time. Reply
prdola0 - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkZach, wouldn't it be better to use 2x non-reference GTX560Ti in SLI instead of 2x HD6950? There is quite a lot of GTX560Ti models clocked ~15% higher than the reference card, which matches even the HD6970 performance. They are both more price-efficient than HD6950 and also SLI tends to be more stable (you usually don't see negative scaling and similar problems). Of course there is also the added value of Nvidia actually supporting gamers, unlike AMD. The Skyrim graphics setup guide they just recently released is simply great and most other GeForce.com articles are helpful just as much.
Take care,
Prdola Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkHm....
According to the bench, SLI 560TI and CF HD6950 trade blows the whole time except for Civ5 where nVidia clearly wins or anything above 1920x1200 where AMD clearly wins.
If you go with SLI/CF, gaming at 1920x1200 is moronic anyway, so I think it is very valid to recommend HD6950 over the 560TI. Also, most recent reviews of CF/SLI I have seen have them nearly on par, with nVidia leading in a few games and AMD in others. It is not a situation like two years ago where nVidia had a clear lead. And speaking for my market, there really is no difference between HD6950 and 560TI cards. You can find both at pretty much the same price points.
So, to summarize: to each his own, every company has great cards for good prices. Look at your usage pattern and a special deal, then decide. :-) Reply
prdola0 - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkThat's hardly so. I am talking about overclocked editions of GTX560Ti. In this regard the GTX560Ti is almost as easily over-clockable as GTX460 was. And there are almost as many 560Ti non-reference OC models. And those editions trade blows with HD6970, yet are priced at HD6950 mark or some between HD6950 and HD6970. Reply
crackedwiseman - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkWhy would you use a GTX560? My complaint has little to do with performance - I don't have time to game in earnest, so that's not my objection. My problem lies in the lack of mult-display capabilities. For productivity purposes - particularly programming - a pair of 1080p screens is no longer cutting it for. With your config, the user is forced to invest either in expensive 2560*1600 screens or an entire new video card to get around this limitation - and with a base price of $2100 system, lack of expandability in this area is unforgivable. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI don't know many people that use more than two displays, but obviously if that's your goal you can go with a different GPU. We mention no fewer than six potential video cards to consider on the "for work" system: GTX 560, HD 6850, GT 440, HD 6670, and a couple Quadro and FirePro options as well. It depends on whether you feel CUDA support or multi-monitor support is higher priority really; I'd personally go with CUDA (it really does help with Premiere), but the alternatives are there for a reason. Reply
A5 - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkYeah. I'd love to work somewhere where 3x 1080p monitors is commonplace...the standard issue at my workplace is 2x 1680x1050 monitors. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkSame here, and it took about half a year of begging the helpdesk to get my 2nd upgraded from 1280x1024 to 1680x1050. I half suspect it was because I kept the ticket open long enough that one of the IT bosses OKed it because I was screwing up his metrics. Reply
crackedwiseman - Saturday, December 10, 2011 - linkI spend a lot of time programming in C/C++ with inline assembly (not exactly easy work, but it pays off here and there, especially when dealing with encryption and error correction algorithms). This is documentation-heavy work, and I often find myself dedicating as much screen-space to various documentations of the processors I'm optimizing for, compiler options, etc as I do to my IDE - screen space gets cramped fast. I got my multi-monitor setup for myself - doesn't cost to much these days, when 3+ monitors on a single card is not rare and 1080p monitors (admittedly crappy, but pixels are pixels) available for under $250 apiece. Certainly isn't cheap, but it's not prohibitive, and I'd swear by it as means of enhancing productivity for many compute-intensive tasks - I have some friends that do a lot of 3D design work, and they've gone to a tri-monitor setup without looking back.
The way I figure it is, if I'm going to spend 6+ hours a day working with my computer, it had better be a nice experience - and being forced to tab through my information is not a nice experience. Reply
apriest - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkI have 3x 1920x1200 monitors on my workstation (photo/video editing), running on a first gen Core i7, P55 chipset, striped X25-M SSDs for boot drive, and a Radeon 5860, a pretty well-rounded machine. I occasionally play games on all three screens, but mostly older games like Far Cry 2 or Burnout Paradise which run pretty smooth at 5760x1200. I'm thinking of upgrading this spring to X79 and 6 or 8 core (if I could put a Xeon in there) to get some more horsepower and especially more RAM (32GB wouldn't be that expensive with 8 slots, and I'm maxed out at 16GB). I'd like CUDA support for some of my video rendering apps, but I'm discovering no cheap way of keeping my triple screens without going SLI or something. Doesn't appear that any nVidia card can run three screens unless it's a dual chip design or something, and then I wonder if two cards wouldn't be a better option anyway for more CUDA performance and better cooling? Just seems odd that my 2+yr old sub-$400 ATI card does something that can't be touched for that price today by nVidia, or am I missing something? I don't mind paying for something if the performance pays off and lets me bill out more, like the SSDs and 16GB I put in my current machine, but since my goal is not high end gaming I don't really want to go overkill on a $1000 video card setup either! Also, will PCI Express 3.0 video cards be out later this spring and should I just stick with my current ATI card until then? What do you guys think? Suggestions? Reply

Araemo - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkOn the Z68 boards, how much will using Intel RST w/ a 64GB SSD suck compared to actually putting your OS and most common apps directly on the SSD?
I have been waiting for 128GB SSDs to reach $100-ish before I buy one, because I don't think I can fit enough on a 64GB to be happy.. but if the caching works well enough, I generally only go between a couple games at a time, and a few other apps, all of that should fit in a 64GB cache, along with the OS and such.. that should be plenty to keep me snapping 90% of the time.. if the technology really works - so have any of the Anandtech guys used iRST on their main systems for an extended period yet to give a good review of it? Reply
Z Throckmorton - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkHi Araemo - Anand performed a great analysis of RST a few months ago (http://www.anandtech.com/show/4329/intel-z68-chips... You can see that RST definitely does not suck compared to just going with a dedicated OS/app SSD. That said, it's also clear that RST's utility really depends on usage patterns. From the sound of it, it sounds like you'd really benefit from a 64GB caching SSD. I personally have not used RST for an extended period of time; I've just moved from a 40GB to 80GB to 120GB SSD as funds have permitted. I tinkered with it and found the time and effort was simply not worth it compared to the cost of a dedicated OS/app SSD. ...Watch for sales (Intel's 320 120GB came close to $100AR on Black Friday a few weeks ago), or grab a used one off of our FS/T forums! :) Reply
Araemo - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI did read that, but I forgot about the after-usage tests.. though unless I'm misreading it, he doesn't go into how long before you get back to the good speeds, is it after one more launch, or does it take a few to re-evict the other apps? Reply
DanNeely - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI bought a 120 about 2 years ago, and am waiting for a 240gb model to drop below $300. I haven't seen anything except sandforce get that low, and after all the firmware problems they've had I'm hesitant to buy one even though the BSOD bug has supposedly been fixed. Reply
FormulaRedline - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkUnless you plan to attach your ~$2,000 gaming machine to a $90 monitor, I think the gaming system with a single 580GTX is going to be severly limited by the graphics card. If I was doing a $2k build today, specifically for gaming, I'd find a way to squeeze 580 SLI in there. By no means do I think it unreasonable to spend half the money of a gaming build on the GPUs. Certainly you should be allocating more than a quarter.
Drop that SSD down to 64GB (basically the OS and some common programs), cut back the HDD storage (add more when prices drop), get a smaller PSU (I run 480GTX SLI, more power hungry cards, with my Kill-A-Watt showing draw during gaming of <550W...so I question the bench results), swap the water cooler for a good $30-$40 air cooler (you'll still be GPU bound for gaming), and use the freed up cash on more GPU. SLI drivers are so good these days that even a 570 SLI setup would be a huge step up from a single 580. That is computer that will run the newest games on the highest setting at big resolutions (2560x1600@60Hz) or even 3D (1920x1080@120Hz). Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI'm running a 30" LCD off a single GTX 580, and even the latest games are generally playable at max details and 2560x1600. Batman: Arkham City runs fine with DX11 + AA + PhysX (post-patch), Skyrim gets 8xAA and DX11, Rage could do max details and then some, Battlefield 3 is at least 40+ FPS... I hope you get the point. My biggest gripe with a single GTX 580 is actually something SLI GTX 580 won't really fix: 1.5GB VRAM. At maximum detail, we're now starting to see games push beyond that mark, even at 1920x1200/1080p, so some time in the next year or so I expect 1.5GB to prove insufficient. Reply
FormulaRedline - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkMaybe so (unfortunately we're still in the area of console ports for systems that came out in 2005). However, consider a modded Skyrim running high resolution textures with AF x16 and AO enabled in the Nvidia control panel. Or, as you point out, some stock games like BF3. These will bring the article's machine below VSYNC, while the added GPU power would add framrate back.
In other words, there is something to gain, even if only in some games (though I would also argue those games are the most relevant), while the cuts to get there do not sacrifice anything. Yes, watercooling to get a few more MHz out of the CPU or a bigger SSD to load the whole CS5 suite onto would be great for a productivity machine, but that's not the purpose of this build.
As to the 1.5GB...I'm with you there. Personally, I wouldn't be building a machine right now; I'd be waiting for the next generation of cards at this point. Of course always waiting for the next best thing is a losing game, but I think we're out of the sweet spot for top end GPUs now. Reply

coffeejunkee - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkThese systems look fairly decent but I think you'll need a 3-pin y-splitter for the workstation to connect both the PC-9F front fans.
The R3 can fit up to 7 fans, in that case you'll probably want a separate fancontroller since the GA-Z68XP-UD3 has only 1 controllable casefanheader.
Not convinced about H80 though, doesn't seem worth the money to me when you can get Thermalright Macho for less than half the price. 'Introduction to real watercooling' sounds like a non-argument to me. Reply
ven - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkIn the gaming ring everything else is fine, but as for the case i think CM HAF 912 will be more suitable than R3. Fully vented front panel than compared to small sideways front intake in R3, so more air flow and also if you remove the HDD cage(CM) Graphics card will get direct cooling from one of the front panel fan it is also much cheaper than R3($59)
As for the motherboard, Asus Maximus-iv Gene-Z is also nice option both the Gigabyte and Asus are almost same in the spec, Asus has some more whistles like ROG connect,Better UEFI, and also it looks cool. Reply
methudman6 - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkI really like the Work PC build. I was wondering though, any reason to choose the Crucial ssd over an Intel 320 series? I know that Crucial m4 is sata III, but do you believe Crucial to be as reliable as Intel? Reply
Z Throckmorton - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkIn the absence of hard data from controlled studies, it's difficult to asses which products of any type, including SSDs, are the most reliable. We have to rely on anecdotal evidence from forums, reviews on retail sites, and coverage from recognized authorities like Anand. And sadly the plural of anecdote isn't data! That said, my personal opinion is that I would be comfortable running both M4s and 320s, as well as Samsung 830s. I have an M4 in my netbook and a 320 in my daily driver desktop, and none of my clients have experienced issues with either of these drives. FWIW. Reply
Vikendios - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkIf you are going to spend hours immersing in Skyrim, the glory of what you see comes first. A 30 inch monitor running at 2650 x 1900 with full effects is such a quantum leap from anything else that I cannot imagine calling "high end" anything without,
It is precisely like building an audiophile music systems. What makes the sound ? The speakers. That's where the money should go, and all the rest is just support electronics.
Running 2650 x 1900, a single 580 is quite unsufficient. My rig has a two-chip 590 because I'm lazy at setting up SLI's or triple card systems. Where you can save is memory : 6 G is ample for most games, and SSD's. A good old harddrive will work fine, you won't see the difference.
The second most important luxury is silence, so you can enjoy perfect audio. I toyed with liquid cooling, but ended up solving radically the problem by leaving the innards in a closet on the other side of the wall from my den. Only a small hole in the wall behind my desk to thread cables for the monitor, the keyboard and the mouse. The sound is hooked to the hifi system in my room. Added benefit : no case neede, all components just sit on a shelf.
Enjoy. Reply
Zap - Friday, December 09, 2011 - linkThe Lian Li PC-Q08 is to me a curious choice for an HTPC case. There are many great looking HTPC cases out there that fits in better with the typical home theater equipment. My home theater has a receiver, DVD player, CD player and cable company provided digital tuner that are all around the same width. A micro tower would look decidedly out of place in that mix. My own HTPC uses a Lian Li PC-C50B which is "officially" an HTPC case and is the same size as all the rest of the equipment. Other nice cases which I considered are the Silverstone Grandia series and even the Silverstone Milo. Those would all fit in with the other equipment. So, why the micro tower? Reply

yorkman - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkI'm stuck with this dilemma...I'd like to build a system that Rybka Aquarium (chess engine) will really take advantage of. It eats up whatever cores you have so the more the better.
The rig in this guide is something I'm considering...but I'm not sure how much I'd benefit over the 2600K setup, or especially 2500K when used with Rybka for 24x7 analysis. Going with the 3930K would be considerably more expensive. The cpu alone is about $350 more, plus the mobo is about $100 more than the mobo for the 2500/2600.
I've been using Rybka for years and I noticed the higher you clock your cpu the stronger it is, for obvious reasons. So overclocking will be a must. I haven't seen any benchmarks for an overclocked 3930X so it's hard to guess. I'd also be using 6 man tablebases would be where I'd need at least 16 GB of ram.
I'm told Rybka doesn't take advantage of hypter-threading so the 2500K seems to be more logical...but less cache and slightly slower clock than the 2600K. Plus I do the occasional video editting in Pinnacle Studio so 2600K might be better regardless.
How much would you recommend the 3930K in my situation? Or would I be better off still with the 2500 or 2600? Perhaps there's yet another cpu I've not mentioned? I know I could go Xeons but that's way over my budget I think. Reply

yorkman - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkI assume this was directed at me?
Problem with that is, yes, I'd get 24 cores for an extra $1100 or so...but this is the deal breaker in my opinion...it's 2.4GHz*2=4.8GHz...something I could achieve with one 2600K cpu alone when overclocked.
The server cpu's usually can't be overclocked...so that means I'm getting 20 extra cores which is awesome, and roughly the same speed as a 2600K would get me. But it'd use up more power per month and $1100 more...plus I can't even find these parts locally which means I'd have to order them from who knows where...then add shipping on top of that and hope that no parts come in as dead on arrival.
Not sure that's a better pc. Where did you look up the prices for this? I'm in Canada so I'd prefer to order from here and not go through the border (duty fees are extra and would cost an arm and a leg extra on top of the $1100). Definitely not worth it then. Reply
yorkman - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkOk, I see those quotes are from newegg.com...but since I'm in Toronto, they are not available to me (cpu). The mobo is at newegg.ca, but it's deactivated anyway.
Checked on eBay....only available to customers in the U.S. so I don't think this is even an option for me.
It's got me curious on how much stronger Rybka 4 would run though given the extra 18-20 cores...but same clock speed.
Without the ssd drive, and if this can be purchased from Canadian customers somewhere....it's $1500+tax which would work out to about $1700 all in minus shipping. I'm not considering duty fees because I wouldn't pay them so I wouldn't order them from outside Canada.
And wouldn't this mobo be a better deal Supermicro H8DGU Server Motherboard - AMD - Socket G34 LGA-1944. It's about $100 cheaper when compared to the Asus in CDN dollars. Reply
yorkman - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkOne more thing. This one would probably benefit me more:
AMD Opteron 6234 2.60 GHz Processor - Socket G34 LGA-1944
as apparently Rybka 4 doesn't take advantage of HT, and can even slow it down...so with this dual cpu combo I'd gain 400 MHz (not much I know) and save about $100.
Either way, nobody in Canada seems to have this in stock for sale...nor can it be ordered. I wonder why. Reply
Donkey2008 - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkWhere did you find this price? I have only found it at $200+. And why did you not look at the Antec HCP-850 PSU? It is equal to the Seasonic and costs $40 to $50 less.
Just curious. I know Seasonic is the JIMP for computer geeks, but there are other companies marketing Seasonic products with their label slapped on them, including many of the top-tier Antec PSUs. I guess I do not understand why people seem willing to pay that $40 to $50 extra to get a little horse logo on their polo shir...I mean Seasonic label on their PSU. Just sayin. Reply
Jungwirsch - Thursday, December 15, 2011 - linkWhen building a system with aspirations towards becoming a gamer's trusted companion for years to come, 1 TB of HDD space will most likely not cut it. Recent games (Skyrim a noted exception) routinely need 15-30 GB (Rage, SW Force Unleashed come in at the higher end), and this development will certainly continue. The size of the average game installation has increased approximately 1000-fold over the last 20 years. Personally, my Steam folder is pushing 700 GB.
Rage really is a gaming engine with a game tucked on as an afterthought. The developers explicitly stated that they really had 150 GB of textures, but that just wasn't marketable for now. Guess what, eventually we will see games coming out with such oceans of eye candy data.
Hence, even with the recent jackup of prices in HDDs, I'd get the biggest I can. Even more so if using Steam client, because it more or less necessitates all the games from that one vendor to reside on the same drive. Reply

Whaley Bridge 3 Eagle Sports 1
EAGLE Sports surrendered their grip on the JB Parker Cup after crashing out to an organised Whaley Bridge side in Derbyshire.
Coming into the game on the back of a winless December, a change in form was needed but did not quite materialise.
They fell behind to a short corner early on, but the visitors responded well and were unlucky not to restore parity before half time after a brace of chances hit the woodwork, with Owen Ellis and Stephen Cross' headers both being denied by the post.
Unfortunately the writing was on the wall from early in the second half, Whaley doubling their lead once McDermott had brought down the home striker and conceded a penalty that ended up in the bottom corner.
A change in pace suited Eagle as they desperately tried to make amends, with Ged McAllister, Chris Quirk and Lee Boardman all introduced from the bench to provide a spark which had been lacking.
McAllister got Eagle back into the game when he tapped home, but that was to be as good as it got for the two-time defending title holders.
Pushing bodies forward in search of an equaliser, Eagle were finally defeated when Whaley's number 10 twisted the knife with a counter attacking goal in the final moments.
Eagle need to bounce back when they travel to Middlewich Town on Saturday, kick off 2pm.
Eagle: McDermott, Hickman, Cross, Hall, Chinn, Roberts, Hope, Walker, Waldron, Ellis, N Williams. Subs: Burthem, Boardman, McAllister, Quirk.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Saint Leo's men's cross country freshman star Carl Dunne notched yet another accolade as he was selected to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-South Region team, announced Monday evening from New Orleans.
Recognizing nearly 400 athletes from across the Division II ranks, Dunne earned the award by finishing the NCAA South Region championship meet in the top-5.
During his freshman season alone, Dunne has broken numerous program records, notching his name four times on the all-time 8K program records list although he participated in only six 8K races. In addition, his fifth-place finish at the NCAA South Region Championships shattered the all-time fastest program 10K record that was previously achieved by Jon Norris in 2011.
For the men, Edinboro and Alaska Anchorage lead the nation with all seven of their athletes earning All-Region honors. Chico State, Adams State, Augustana (S.D.), and Western State followed with six each. Mount Olive had three freshmen take All-Region distinctions, which tallied the most in the nation for Division II programs.
On the women's side, Adams State, Chico State, and Stonehill were all perfect in the All-Region category, having all seven of their runners earn top honors, while Grand Valley State, Tampa, and Alaska Anchorage tallied six All-Region awards.
