Wirral musical set for return to Liverpool stage
1:52pm Monday 7th January 2013
By Craig Manning
1:52pm Monday 7th January 2013
By Craig Manning
A MUSICAL play which charts the turbulent history of the Cammell Laird shipyard will be staged at the Royal Court in Liverpool later this year.
Down Our Street will be staged at the city centre venue from April 12-27.
Presented by Active Drama Productions it follows the world-famous shipyard from its early days, through difficult times and to the present day.
Written by the group's artistic director Brian McCann, the production premiered in Birkenhead in 2003. It was also staged in 2004 and last seen at the Unity Theatre, Liverpool in 2011.
The script features a number of memorable music and songs capturing the town's spirit through good times and the bad.
On taking the show to the Royal Court Brian McCann, who lives and works in Birkenhead, told the Globe: "I'm looking forward to working in one of the most welcoming theatres around.
"This production is going to be bigger than we've done it before, with a new score, great set and an amazing cast to be announced shortly."
Over the years the Active Drama team has worked with groups creating plays about Flaybrick Memorial Gardens, Bidston Hill, Birkenhead Market and an acclaimed musical play looking at the history of Tranmere Rovers.
In 2007, the company received national recognition for their production of Bully by Brian appearing on the Paul O'Grady Show and earned an outstanding review in the national theatre publication
Through drama, comedy and song, Down Our Street celebrates this through the eyes of the people of Merseyside and the workers 'down the yard'.
Brian said: "Merseyside has so much to be proud of, our heritage and our culture.
"In many ways we led the way on the international stage in music, the arts and industry. In every corner, on every street there are great stories reflecting our past and celebrating our present.
"There is one story that stands out above the rest. You only have to look down the banks of the river Mersey to see the iconic buildings of what was one of the greatest shipbuilders in the world, Cammell Laird, the birthplace of some of the most famous ships including The Ark Royal, HMS Trident and the Alabama."

Jeffrey M. Kipnis
- Professor, Architecture Section
221 Knowlton Hall
Jeffrey Kipnis is a professor of architecture at the Knowlton School where he teaches courses on architectural design and theory. For more than two decades, Kipnis' work has shaped the thinking, imagination and creative work of architects and critics. From seminal studies of the work of such key practitioners as Philip Johnson, Peter Eisenman, Rem Koolhaas and Daniel Libeskind, to theoretical reflections on the intellectual, cultural and political role of contemporary architecture in such essays as "Toward a New Architecture," "Twisting the Separatrix" and "Political Space I," to exhibitions on architectural drawing and design, Kipnis has brought a restless, generous and provocative originality to bear on the issues that have defined contemporary architecture.
Kipnis' writings on art and architecture have appeared in such publications as Log, Hunch, Harvard Design Magazine, Quaderns, 2G, El Croquis, Art Forum, Assemblage, and his books include Choral Works: The Eisenman-Derrida collaboration, Perfect Acts of Architecture, and The Glass House. As architecture/design curator for the Wexner Center for the Arts, he organized the design survey, "Mood River" with co-curator Annetta Massie, and "Suite Fantastique," a compilation of four exhibitions: "Perfect Acts of Architecture," "The Furniture of Scott Burton," "The Predator" – a collaboration between Greg Lynn and Fabian Marcaccio, and "Imaginary Forces" – Motion Graphics. His film, "A Constructive Madness," produced in collaboration with Tom Ball and Brian Neff, looks at the architect Frank Gehry's work on the un-built but seminal Peter Lewis house project.

If you've ever wondered where the food on your dish comes from when you dine out at Jacksonville restaurants, here's an event for you.
On Sunday, April 22, more than 20 Northeast Florida farms across six counties will open their gates, barn doors and more for the Tour de Farm, a free event for families, foodies and gardeners alike.
The event is the second for Slow Food First Coast, a non-profit organization that promotes "a food system based on quality and pleasure, environmental sustainability, and social justice." According to the organization, more than 3,000 visitors turned out for last year's inaugural event.
Among the participating farms this year are Black Hog Farm, Twinn Bridges Farm, Cognito Farm, Terk's Acres Goat Farm, Log Cabin Winery, Blue Sky Farm and many more.
Slideshow: A behind-the-scenes look at Black Hog Farm

In addition to touring the farms and sampling produce, participants can meet some of Jacksonville's noted chefs and food artisans at each of the stops. Those include Jean-Stephane Poinard of Bistro de Leon, David Scalise of Sawgrass Marriott, Tom Gray of Bistro Aix, Sam Efron of Taverna, Scotty Schwartz of 29 South, Guy Ferri of Black Sheep Restaurant and several others. Many of those will prepare special meals, some of which require advance reservations.
The event runs from noon to 5 p.m. Note: no pets are allowed.
Because of the large number of participating farms and accompanying events at each, organizers have created four suggested tours, based on geographical location. You won't be able to visit all, so take time to plan – and map – your trip out in advance.

The compacted NBA schedule was expected to take quite a toll on the veteran-laden Boston Celtics.
Yet, before a game has even been played, the team has lost one of its younger contributors, Jeff Green, for the season.
Green will undergo surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm detected in a routine physical and his one-year contract will be voided.
The operation is expected to completely repair Greens condition and he is expected to return next season, the Celtics said in a release.
Green arrived in Boston in a controversial deal for starting centre Kendrick Perkins a move that has been heavily panned from the moment it was made.
The pick used to select Green, No. 5 overall in 2007, was traded by Boston for superstar guard Ray Allen.
Green was lucky his ailment was detected. All-star forward Reggie Lewis died on a practice court from a heart condition back in 1993 and the Celtics lost Len Bias, the No. 2 overall selection of the 1986 draft, to cardiac arrhythmia brought on by a cocaine overdose just two days after that draft.
Green, 25, averaged 9.8 points and 3.3 rebounds last season and was expected to back up both forward spots.
The Georgetown product tweeted on Saturday: Thank u everyone for ur thoughts and prayers much appreciated love u all ... and Ill be back soon stronger and better than ever I promise.
The aneurysm was detected earlier this month.
Detroits backcourt got a little more crowded on Saturday.
Though there had been reports a deal might not get done, the Pistons inked restricted free agent point guard Rodney Stuckey to a three-year, $25 million U.S. contract.
The team drafted Brandon Knight out of Kentucky with the eighth pick of the 2011 draft and also has the effective Will Bynum, but all three can play either backcourt position.
Stuckey led the Pistons in scoring at 15.5 points per game last season but clashed at times with since fired head coach John Kuester.
He has averaged 13.6 points and 4.5 assists over four seasons.
The Pistons also have Ben Gordon, who has been a massive disappointment since signing a huge free agent contract. Gordons minutes should increase with Rip Hamilton off to Gordons former team, the Chicago Bulls.
Los Angeles Lakers struck out on Chris Paul and hasnt found a way to add Dwight Howard yet but the team is bringing Troy Murphy into the fold.
The big man was terrible last season, but used to be a double-double threat who could step outside and hit the three.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Murphy has signed a one-year contract. In essence, he should replace Lamar Odom.
Bramptons Tristan Thompson made his NBA pre-season debut on Friday and had a decent outing, despite foul trouble. Thompson overcame five fouls to score eight points, added five rebounds and blocked two shots in 22 minutes Cleveland did not use the $14.5 million trade exception it received in the LeBron James sign-and-trade. Toronto opted to not use the $9 million remaining on its trade exception from the Chris Bosh sign-and-trade According to the Washington Post, high-scoring free agent guard Nick Young is angling for a $9 million per season contract. Thats an absurd request for a one-dimesional, largely unproven player, so it might be a while before Young finds a team willing to give him a huge multi-year contract. Young averaged 17.4 points per game in 2010-11 Baron Davis cleared waivers and might find a team by Monday, according to reports. New York is considered the front-runner, but the Knicks were also after another amnesty victim, Travis Outlaw, formerly of the New Jersey Nets, but the Sacramento Kings picked Outlaw up. Davis might be out for two months because of a back problem, but the Knicks could use him if the price is right.

Fall Planting Thoughts
This morning finds me planting Iowa Adapted Pecans into pots placed within a cage designed to keep out rabbits, and located such that squirrels are less likely to find it. Doing so requires creating a hole in the mulch, placing five gallon plastic pots, and then filling them with good black dirt. The pecans are then placed in the dirt and buried, and the pots themselves then mulched.
On the flip side of this, last night I made a few dozen pecan turtles from 48 ounces of pecans that I harvested locally and shelled by hand. It took hours to crack them, as they were significantly smaller than the ones I am planting. Why not plant the smaller ones and eat the large?
Although I will not be able to prove it with the pecans for 20 years, I can say for certain that the larger walnut fruits I planted that long ago are now producing larger fruits. This makes me confident that this will also hold true for these larger pecans which local growers provided me for this purpose. I thank them for this, and will repay them with some seedling trees. I also hope that future generations of both people and wildlife will enjoy the fruits of my labor, in the truest sense of the word in this case.
To date, Iowa Adapted Pecan Trees have been planted in all of the suitable areas managed by the Washington County Conservation Board, with only the trees at Marr Park old enough to produce fruit at this point (although this proves they will do well in SE Iowa).
Planting some of these pecans with the future selfish intention of harvesting some of the fruits is exactly the motivation of many, if not at least nearly all, conservationists in Iowa. Most species of wildlife have relatively high rates of annual mortality (70 percent or more in most birds), with hunting seasons, limits, and hours established with the goal of allowing the harvest of a percentage of those that would die of other causes if they were not harvested.
The fact is, hunting will result in a net increase in the total population of the species hunted, the indirect effect of the hunter's selfish motivation to have more of them to hunt. Hunters know that if they create habitat they will eventually get to shoot more of them, just like planting some of the pecans instead of eating them all stands to cause there to be more pecans in 20 years. And, just like always, the blue jays, woodpeckers, insects, and other non-hunted wildlife stand to benefit from these trees (this habitat) all year long just so we might harvest a few pecans (and maybe a few squirrels that come to eat them once they begin producing where that is legal).
As increasing numbers of hunters enter the fields and forests of southeast Iowa during the next few months, the vast majority of us will be working hard to do so in such a manner to be proud of. This will include going only where we are welcome and have permission, leaving the land even better than we found it, and making every reasonable effort to make humane harvests and utilize our game, maybe even sharing some with those less fortunate. What is more, we will try to continue to police our own ranks as best we can by turning in the poachers, cleaning up after those that don't, and giving back to our communities in every way that we can. To my fellow hunters I say, "May you be safe, courteous, and successful this fall!" And, try your very best to be an ethical hunter. I am.

Dec 17, 2012 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
The revival of local indoor track and field continues as high school teams again begin to venture to Onondaga Community College's SRC Arena for weekly meets.
That started with the Jack Morse Relays, where in Friday's girls meet West Genesee nearly went to the top, putting up 38 points to tie Cicero-North Syracuse for third place. Fayetteville-Manlius and Liverpool shared top honors with 41 points.
Brianna Richardson helped the Wildcats win both of its events. First, in the 55-meter hurdles she was fourth in 9.94 seconds, with Emily Iles 14th, but it added up to 20.42 seconds, which was 0.15 seconds better than C-NS, who finished second.
It was nearly the same in the triple jump. Richardson was second among individuals, going 33 feet ½ inch, as she and seventh-place Abby Uczen had combined leaps of 63'2", nearly a foot better than runner-up C-NS. By herself, Uczen, who was second in the pole vault by clearing 9', garnered fourth-place team points.
Local sides went 1-2 in the shot put. Westhill/Bishop Ludden won as Bella Sterly was second among individuals with a throw of 31'9 ½" and Kayla Wild was sixth (29' 2 ½"), which added up to 60' 11 ¾". That was enough to beat WG, who had Maureen McInerney (third) and Erica Fitch (fifth) throw it a combined 59' 7 ½".
Laura Leff teamed with Mary McGlynn, Sara Ferranti and Lindsay Weaver for a third-place time of 10:25.19 in the 4×800 relay.
Jordan-Elbridge's best finish was in the 1,600 sprint medley, where Brianna Byrnes, Julie Hines, Bethanie Ermick and Alexis Malvasso get a time of 4:43.97 and finish in fourth place. Marcellus had Rachel Garn, Shannon Twombley, Molly McGuane and Eliza Bell get to sixth place in the distance medley relay, with Westhill/Ludden taking fifth in the 4×400 relay.
Two nights earlier, the boys Jack Morse Relays took place, with West Genesee tying for seventh place with 19 points and Jordan-Elbridge (16 points) finishing alone in 10th.
Solvay (10 points) and Marcellus (6.33 points) were further back, but that included the Bearcats' victory in the high jump, where Brian McLeod, by himself, cleared 6 feet and that was enough for the full 10 points. The Mustangs' Brian O'Connell (5'6") tied for fourth.
WG got most of its points from the distance medley relay, where the quartet of Jack Erhard, Ethan Osborne, Pete Richardson and Nate Conroy prevailed in 11 minutes, 11.54 seconds. J-E was second in the distance medley as Dylan Whittico, Jacob Patterson, Austin Whittico and Jack Gugel finished in 11:25.36.
Later, in the 1,600 sprint medley, Gugel, the Whitticos and Bill DiRenzo gained second place in 3:52.33, edged out at the wire by Baldwinsville (3:52.31). Marcellus, with Brian O'Connell, Nate Waite, Will Coon and Justin Garn, were fourth in 3:58.64.
In the 4×800 relay, the Wildcats took the runner-up spot, watching Logan MacNulty, Andy Wells, Matt Romano and Mike Richards getting a time of 9:14.15, trailing only Cicero-North Syracuse, who prevailed in 9:04.09.

Is the new data center fabric really a combination of Borg and big Brother? Answer on March 30th
I don't know about you , but I want to be well prepared for the March 30th Cisco announcement
Listening to Cisco SVP Bill Brownell's invitation, we can definitely expect some very interesting product news, but more importantly a new round of conversations about the right fabric-infrastructure, especially in the context of cloud computing.
That's why we will have special guests such as John McCool, Soni Jiandani and Tim Gillis in addition of Forrester Research and IDC (see my previous blog)
So as I was willing to be well prepared, I found this interesting blog from Ivan about data center fabric architecture , which obviously grabbed also the attention of some of our smart engineers
So why don't you read it (including the comments section) and come back to me after March 30th to tell me if you agree with Aneel and Brad and of course with Ivan
And by the way , don't hesitate to point me to other interesting conversation on data center fabric (I am sure you will !)

Oldham beat City, Norwich hold Ajax
Manchester City's Euro 2012 stars were given a testing return to club action as Oldham Athletic beat the Premier League champions 2-1 at Boundary Park.
While the majority of their first-team colleagues concluded a tour of the Far East on Monday, England trio Joe Hart, Joleon Lescott and James Milner enjoyed their first close-season outings alongside France pair Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri.
Nigel de Jong took the armband and made his second appearance in four days having started Saturday's 2-1 reserve win at Stockport, while the rest of City's line-up was comprised of academy products and Eastlands outcast Roque Santa Cruz - scorer of his side's equaliser after Robbie Simpson gave the Latics an early advantage.
Having spent the majority of the contest firmly on the back foot, Paul Dickov's League One outfit snatched victory in stoppage time as summer recruit Jonathan Grounds rifled home from Connor Hughes' left-wing corner.
Norwich claimed a creditable 1-1 draw with Dutch champions Ajax at Carrow Road. The Canaries took the lead in the seventh minute when Anthony Pilkington superbly curled a free-kick into the top corner after Joel Veltman had hauled down James Vaughan just outside the area.
But Ajax levelled on the half-hour when Lasse Schone's 25-yard strike rocketed past goalkeeper John Ruddy, while Ryan Bennett had to be alert to clear Jody Lukoki's goalbound effort in the best chance of the second half.
Robert Snodgrass made his Norwich debut following his move from Leeds for an undisclosed fee last week after coming off the bench to rapturous applause in the 69th minute.
QPR were comfortable 3-0 victors at Wycombe, with Jamie Mackie, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Nedum Onuoha on-target on a night where injury-prone Kieron Dyer made his return from nearly 12 months on the sidelines.
Mackie opened the scoring after collecting the ball from Adel Taarabt before driving into the area and finishing with aplomb and Wright-Phillips doubled their advantage by rounding the keeper and slotting into an empty net.
A corner from Dyer, who came on in the 73rd minute for his first run-out after breaking his foot against Bolton last year, allowed Onuoha to head home and ensure a routine win.
West Brom also eased to victory, with Saido Berahino's brace inspiring a 4-1 win at Stockport. After deservedly taking the lead when Sam Mantom slotted past County keeper Ian Ormson, Berahino doubled the Baggies' lead with a fine strike after a clever one-two with Scott Allan.
County skipper Danny O'Donnell narrowed the deficit after the interval by flicking home at the back post but Berahino restored the two-goal cushion with a tap-in after good work from George Thorne, who then sealed a comprehensive win by firing home from the edge of the box.
Swansea lost a two-goal lead in the closing stages to draw 2-2 with San Jose Earthquakes in the final match of their pre-season tour to the United States.
Goals from Danny Graham and Chico looked set to give the victory to Michael Laudrup's side, who lost to the Colorado Rapids before beating Ventura County Fusion in their two previous two tour matches.
However, San Jose substitute Steven Lenhart netted twice in the final 10 minutes to salvage a draw for the home side.

Need a good cry today? This baby's got you covered.
In a Youtube video sure to catch fire online (it's on the cusp at about half a million views as of Tuesday afternoon), a 10-month-old baby girl named Mary-Lynne Leroux is moved to tears by her mom Amanda's heartfelt rendition of "My Heart Can't Tell You No."
Just try to watch and not tear up yourself … those in our newsroom couldn't do it.
Amanda Leroux tells Right This Minute that she's "in shock" at all the attention the video is getting and explains that this is the only song her daughter, now 1, reacts to in this way. "It's almost as if she understands," she says.
When Leroux (who's not a trainer singer) told her husband, Alain, about their only child's emotional response, he didn't believe it. "One day she decided to record it and I got to see it for the first time and I was completely blown away," he says.
The couple, who are from Ontario, Canada, admit that they uploaded the video just so their family could see it and have been "surprised" by all the attention it's gotten. "I'm really really shy," Amanda says. "I just sing around the house."
Who needs to sing in front of an audience when someone at home is this moved by her talent?

intel got pwn3ed. – by wickedgrin
|nice to see intergraph (3:59pm est tue mar 30 2004)
getting what's due. i'm sick of tech companies thinking stealing as a business practice. – by justice
|intergraph is useless (4:08pm est tue mar 30 2004)
they should do something other than suing people, so unproductive and wasteful they deserve nothing – by ip sux
|buy amd (4:24pm est tue mar 30 2004)
with that $225 mil, intergraph can buy amd and pour that money into them. that might put more hurt to intel. – by rcaman
|it is good in the sense that intel is having to stop being so naughty (4:31pm est tue mar 30 2004)
i just wish that this sort of crap did not happen in the first place. the fact is these companies think they can only get ahead if they rip off someone elses ideas. it is nice to see companies like uk imagine technologies are coming up with their own ways of doing things and getting great results. their powervr mbx architecture is gona make for some wonderful pda's. not to mention their upcoming video cards. – by eric the red.
|buy amd (4:32pm est tue mar 30 2004)
amd's worth about 25 times more than 225 mil.
if i were amd i'd be more worried about being sued by intergraph. – by grapevine
|stop with patents (4:59pm est tue mar 30 2004)
yeah nice, intergraph can sue customers
for using intel products. sue the company not the consumers.
just like sco wanted to sue linux consumers.
the consumers are not the ones who violated the patent law. – by stop suing
|re: grapevine (6:00pm est tue mar 30 2004)
intel ripped-off intergraph ip, amd didn't… that's why amd does have anything to worry about.
the funniest part about intel's loss is that the parallel processing technology (i assume used in epic and itanium) is hardly worth anything anyways.
greed came back to bite intel in the ass… – by joe
|arent they (6:49pm est tue mar 30 2004)
(intel) being sued for stealing the hyperthreading technology also? atleast they can copy amd's 64 for free.
haha – by me biggd01
| (8:24pm est tue mar 30 2004)
how did intel copy amd's 64? – by whats in a name
|i dunno what countries you guys are from (9:37pm est tue mar 30 2004)
but here in the united states (planet earth), lawsuits don't indicate that theft actually occurred. rather, corporate lawsuits indicate the suing party wants easy money, in lieu of actually developing a good product.
basically, the only reason amd and apple aren't getting sued constantly by thewir us competitors is that they aren't making intel, microsoft, or ibm money.
my thinking of all this lawsuit business against large corporations is that it's an indulgence given the us's economic position. perhaps the government will step in and prevent frivolous lawsuits when the us loses its position as the #1 economy. – by neener^3
|wrong neener (10:06pm est tue mar 30 2004)
the reason intel is being sued is because they used another company's patented technology. regardles how large a company is or how small, you will be sued if you make 1 cent off of someone elses idea. i live in the usa also. please think before you post. and if that's all the thinking you can do, then don't post. it must suck to have your thinking abilties. – by me biggd01
|re: neener^3 (10:22pm est tue mar 30 2004)
it's really obvious that intergraph developed parallel instructions. i completely agree that frivolous lawsuits are common these days… but making your statement in reference to this case makes you look really dumb. you should have just rtfa.
as some advice, always throw-in a "macs sucks" or "amd rulez"… that way you are never off-topic. – by joe
|wrong me biggd01, joe (10:57pm est tue mar 30 2004)
the truth is, we don't know exactly how specific integraph's "patented technology" is, unless you are stupid enough to take integraph's word for it (you were talking about thinking skills??). my statement is that patents are granted for not-so-specific concepts, whereas a product as complicated as itanium is anything but not-so-specific.
what we do know is that intel put ~10 years and a couple billion of $$ of r&d into developing their epic implementation, which is most likely very different from integraph's.
it would be like me patenting faster-than-light travel without a solid product and then suing a company that put 20 billion into a specific implementation (i.e. a real faster-than-light engine) 12 years down the road.
btw, here's a spoon me biggd01, joe – by neener^3
|btw (11:01pm est tue mar 30 2004)
macs don't suck, they're just too expensive and not sufficiently better than the competition to warrant a switch of software and hardware.
amd is decent enough, though i think intel actually has a price/performance advantage now, odd as that may be.
amd and apple should be so lucky to be sued left and right for patent infrigements. it would mean they're kings of the hill. – by neener^3
|bad precedent (11:13pm est tue mar 30 2004)
for microunity and patriot. yikes, but what can you do? everything under the sun has been patented. – by speaking patently
|ok neener (1:53am est wed mar 31 2004)
so let me get this right….
you are saying that if you developed something, you think it's ok for another company to take it and make money with it?
you also say that amd is only decent enough and that intel has the price/performance advantage?
are you a freaking moron?
i will just make a statement to the last one just so other fans can read it as well.
price/performance is and always will go amd's way. you can compare any family of chips from intel or amd and a blind person can see that amd is a far more better buy. people who have owned an athlon socket a board can still update their motherboards after owning them for 3-4 years. you can never do that with intel. price amd beats intel and performance amd beats intel. now i really find it useless to argue stupidity to the stupid. if you want to debate it, why not present your price/performance theory here so i can chew it down and prove that you are an idiot (actually you will prove it). please show us all. forinstance- match up your products to amd's products. i will then counter. also when matching up product, make sure you present prices and performance. i will check in on this tommorow when i get home from work but look forward to see what you post. also be extremely accurate to make this less easy for me!!!
this will be fun – by me biggd01
|edit (1:55am est wed mar 31 2004)
when i said update their motherboards in my lasts post, i meant to say cpu. i know some here would not understand it due to the lack of intelligence.
carry on!!! – by me biggd01
|re: me biggd01 (6:08am est wed mar 31 2004)
so if amd's so good, why aren't they rich?
in their whole existence they've barely made a penny.
you don't suppose that *maybe* the market isn't deciding on price/performance. that *maybe* that's just your personal hot button. that *maybe* its other factors that the market really values. and that *maybe* 85% of the market is voting with their dollars against your price/performance mantra.
socket a? lolrof — how many sockets has amd thrashed us with in the last 6 months? the days of a socket lasting for years are gone. especially with the memory controller integrated in the cpu — its guaranteed to change every year from now on for amd. ddr1, new socket, ddr2, new socket, ddr3 new socket, next memory technology, new socket.
as far as lawsuits go, any american knows its lawyers following the money. as shown above, that clearly eliminates amd.
btw, there is no "theft" of ip involved in this case. intergraph just won the race to the patent office. the patent was actually granted, long after intel had already done the work.
finally, you seem to "conveniently" forget that everything amd started with, they took from intel.

"btw, there is no "theft" of ip involved in this case. intergraph just won the race to the patent office. the patent was actually granted, long after intel had already done the work"—–yeah ok, intel was late to make it to the patent office
"finally, you seem to "conveniently" forget that everything amd started with, they took from intel"—again get your facts straight–ever hear of ibm? do you know when amd was started?
what are you like 12 years old or some 40 year old who was laid off from his job and went to some (commercialized tech school during jerry springer show) who thinks he might know something about today's or yesterdays technology?
again a troll is a troll with no back up
– by me biggd01
|slightly correct (10:14am est wed mar 31 2004)
"finally, you seem to "conveniently" forget that everything amd started with, they took from intel"—again get your facts straight–ever hear of ibm? do you know when amd was started?
that part is actually true. intel made a processor, then amd copied it. for a while amd just kept cloning intel processors, until intel changed their processor names from numbers to an actual name, meaning amd couldn't copy intel anymore. after that amd lagged behind for a while, then came back with a processor designed by their company.
also the part about the socket changing for the memory maybe true. the trend shows that up to now, a new socket has to be designed for each new memory technology to work at full potential. – by richard

Today I just blurted out. "I wish it wasn't always 'good'. I'd like you to suffer at least a little."
Sure, some of my sessions have been good but usually they SUCK because there is all this emotional crap that comes out. But for him...it is "good."
I know...I shouldn't want him to suffer, but come on...just a little in his private sessions? Just a little??????
(I know he may have tougher sessions than he lets on...it's just annoying how he minimizes everything!!!! Always has..even before the affair.)
[This message edited by topperoff22 at 3:35 PM, October 14th (Monday)]
Why would you not want him to suffer?? He should suffer some consequences for his actions. A pissed off wife is only one of them.
I know...I shouldn't want him to suffer, but come on...just a little in his private sessions? Just a little??????
It might mean they're digging deep into his issues and he feels he's getting a lot out of the session.
I think the problem is that you DON'T know what he's feeling because he doesn't communicate with you.
Wanting hinm to suffer..this early out from dday..is normal. You're sure suffering because of his choices,aren't you? So..yeah..normal. But if this feeling continues,it's something you should address in IC. Im assuming you don't mean you want him rolling on the floor sobbing..but you do want to know that he is working on the "bad" parts of himself that made him think it was ok to cheat..and working on those kinds of things are typically painful and/or difficult.
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
Why would you not want him to suffer?? He should suffer some consequences for his actions. A pissed off wife is only one of them.
I do know he has been suffering..really...there has been a lot of suffering, guilt and tears, mixed in with a lot of asshole behavior. He can't change from an asshole (half asshole, really...he wasn't "all asshole" if there is such a thing) to a good guy over night. There has been some very, very good things happening the last few days. TRULY. I just want to clarify that because I put a lot of bad stuff and don't want it to sound like it has all been bad. I made that mistake last week. :-)
How do you know he's not suffering in those sessions? How do you know that he's not dealing with the emotional fallout from his IC appt? What if him saying "good" is the final result of him processing everything from his meeting with IC?
Good point!
I do think many WS do suffer. I don't think they really ever comprehend the suffering a BS goes through. The rollercoaster ride they put us on.
I am glad to hear that there is good stuff. You may want to read in the I Can Relate forum about the emotionally unavailable WS. Godd can mean many things and maybe that is the deepest feeling he can come up with. Hopefully with time and practice he can share a little more emotions with you.

When printed at a uniform density (i.e. filled in, not hollow), this polyhedron has the property that it is only stable on one face. That is, it will always topple over an land on one side.
I have not had an opportunity to print them out, so I don't know if they work in practice. My understanding is that they are fairly sensitive to inaccuracies. I have provided a version of the polyhedron that is split in two, in the hope that it will print more accurately and can be glued together.
The existence of these polyhedra was first proven by Conway and Guy.
This particular one was taken from the mathematica notebook found at the article by Pegg, Ed Jr. and Weisstein, Eric W. "Unistable Polyhedron." From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/UnistablePolyhedron.html

More than 80 percent of investment advisors are currently using tactical and alternative investments or said they would likely recommend them to clients in 2013, according to a survey by Capital Management Group, an SEC-registered investment advisor in King of Prussia, Pa.
The survey, which was conducted at the annual Financial Planning Association Experience 2012 Conference in San Antonio, also showed that fewer than one-quarter of advisors still use the traditional 60-40 stock/bond allocation.
"The returns of many traditional investments and strategies have been volatile and disappointing for most investors," said CMG Managing Director and Head of Distribution Michael Sciortino, Sr. "This survey shows that the advisor community is overwhelmingly embracing tactical strategies to provide investors with a smoother, steadier investment experience."
Tactical strategies are designed to create value, particularly in volatile or uncertain markets, by providing exposure to low or non-correlated assets. According to the survey, 87 percent of advisors now believe a portfolio constructed using both tactical and strategic allocations offers more value than a portfolio that doesn't invest in both.
"As more investors become familiar and comfortable with tactical strategies we believe the assets will grow dramatically," Sciortino said. "Advisors are extremely interested in ways of using tactical investments to successfully navigate the challenges of the investment world by utilizing liquid, transparent and cost-effective tools like ETFs and mutual funds."
The one roadblock advisors encounter when discussing tactical investments with their clients is basic familiarity. Seventy percent of advisors believe that lack of understanding of tactical solutions is still a barrier for their clients, the survey found.
Tactical strategies, which were only used by institutions and high net worth investors in the past, are now being used by typical advisor clients. The survey found that an advisor with less than $50 million under management was just as likely to utilize tactical investments as advisors with $250 million or more under management.

Lets take a quick break from all the hardcore hockey talk and speak on something more suited to the Sidney Crosby and Pittsburgh Penguins: their fashion sense. The Penguins clearly have the most hideous third jerseys in hockey history. Powder blue jerseys only work for one team, and they play football in San Diego. The Penguins third jerseys look like a class of colorblind kindergarteners designed them. They make the team look more like figure skaters than hockey players, which suits Sidney Dont Hit Me or Ill Cry Crosby pretty well. Its just a shame to see the superior Evgeni Malkin have to wear such weak gear.
Back on the sports front, the Florida Panthers are playing inconsistent hockey right now, and thats not going to cut it if they hope to make the playoffs. Tonights game against a strong team like the Penguins is as important as any, both confidence wise and in the standings. The Cats cant afford to lose another point in the tight Eastern Conference playoff race, especially in a nationally televised game.

3-Gbps SerDes targets professional and broadcast video applications
National Semiconductor has introduced a 3-Gbps (3G) multi-rate serial digital interface (SDI) serialiser and deserialiser to complement National's expanding portfolio of best-in-class professional and broadcast video products. Leveraging the company's analogue expertise, National's team of engineers achieved a breakthrough in performance to enable the industry's lowest output jitter SDI serialiser (50 ps) and highest input jitter tolerance deserialiser (0.6 units interval). Additionally, the 3G chipset revolutionises the way professional video system designers interface SDI serialisers and deserialisers with host field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). National also today introduced a separate 3G SDI chipset, including equaliser, reclocker and cable driver.
The highly-integrated chipset consists of the LMH0340 3G serialiser with integrated cable driver and LMH0341 deserialiser with reclocked serial loop-through. The products provide 3-Gbps transmit and receive functions for a wide range of broadcast video production and processing applications, including production switchers, digital video recorders, camcorders, video format converters and video editing equipment. The chipset is the first discrete SDI serialiser and deserialiser to support the new Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) 424M specification for uncompressed serial transmission of 1080p high-definition (HD) broadcast video signals up to 60 frames per second.
The chipset's architecture uses a proprietary technique to reduce the parallel bus between the serialiser and FPGA from a 20-bit single-ended interface to a 5-bit low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) interface. This breakthrough simplifies board layout by reducing the number of traces between the serialiser, deserialiser and FPGA. In addition, the chipset's LVDS reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), while the narrow parallel bus enables a single low-cost FPGA to support a greater number of high-speed video channels.
"National's SDI serialisers and deserialisers combined with the first 65nm, low-cost FPGAs, provide a compelling triple-rate SDI solution for broadcast equipment manufacturers," said Todd Scott, senior director of Altera's broadcast business unit. "System designers can now take advantage of the increased video quality of 1080p on the just-announced Cyclone® III FPGA family in addition to the SERDES integrated Stratix® IIGX family."
"We're delighted to collaborate on the LMH0340/341 Spartan-3E-based evaluation platform," said Paolo Masini, senior manager of Broadcast Vertical Marketing at Xilinx. "National's new family of SDI serialisers and deserialisers are the perfect complement to our Spartan-3E family of FPGAs. This combination offers a very high performance and competitively priced solution for high speed broadcast connectivity requirements."
National is the only analogue semiconductor supplier to offer a complete portfolio of products for 3G SDI applications, including serialiser (LMH0340), deserialiser (LMH0341), equaliser (LMH0344), reclocker (LMH0346) and cable driver (LMH0302). All National 3G SDI products have pin-compatible HD versions, allowing designers to complete a single design and populate boards according to the required maximum data rate standard, such as SD, HD or 3G.
Key features LMH0340 3G HD/SD serialiser/driver
Offered in a small 48-pin LLP® package, National's LMH0340 3G multi-rate SDI serialiser supports 270-Mbps, 1.485-Gbps and 2.97-Gbps data rates, enabling transmission of digital video broadcasting-asynchronous serial interface (DVB-ASI), standard-definition (SMPTE 259M), high-definition (SMPTE 292M) and the new 3G SDI standard (SMPTE 424M) for uncompressed serial transmission of 1080p50/60 signals over a single link of coaxial cable. The integrated SMPTE-compliant cable driver reduces system chip count, conserves board area and lowers power consumption. At 3G and HD rates, it delivers the industry's lowest output jitter of 50 ps, without the use of an external voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The serialiser and driver consume 437 mW of power from typical supply voltages, delivering a 40 percent power reduction over existing HD solutions requiring a serialiser and external driver.
Key features LMH0341 3G HD/SD reclocking deserialiser
Offered in a small 48-pin LLP package 60 percent smaller than competitive HD products, National's LMH0341 is the companion deserialiser to the LMH0340 supporting DVB-ASI at 270-Mbps and SDI for SD, HD and 3-Gbps data rates. The LMH0341 features an integrated reclocker that provides a wide input jitter tolerance of 0.6 unit intervals (UI), allowing the product to receive and deserialise signals with more than 60 percent of the signal's "eye" closed. The reclocked loop-through feature includes an integrated cable driver that automatically adjusts the output slew rate compliant to the incoming data rate. Similar to the LMH0340, it requires no external VCO. At 2.97-Gbps, typical power consumption is 445 mW, approximately half that of competitive devices operating at HD rates.
In addition to National's chipset for 3G multi-rate operation, the company also offers two chipsets for HD/SD operation and one for SD-only operation. These chipsets include the LMH0040 serialiser and LMH0041 deserialiser for full-featured HD/SD operation, LMH0050 and LMH0051 for reduced cost HD/SD operation, and the LMH0070 and LMH0071 for SD-only operation.

text: I am waiting on my form 4 and am looking to stock up on a few thousand rounds of subsonic ammo. I will be shooting a 17 with a Lone Wolf threaded barrel and decided to go with the SWR Trident. I have heard that when using cans on pistols there can be some significant baffle erosion due to some factors that include the shorter barrel (as compared to a sub gun or 9mm AR etc..) and that ammo choice is particularly important. The erosion seems to be occuring on the second and third baffles I believe, I know the first baffle (blast baffle) is stainless and the others are aluminum. I have heard that Winchester WinClean ammo is possibly a severe offender in this regard. I was leaning towards the Winchester Super-X Unleaded 147gr with the fully encapsulated bullet, or brass enclosed base as they call it, until I read somewhere that this is basically the same as WinClean. I am trying to stay away from anything that has lead exposed at the base of the bullet (ie Special K, and most all other 147gr offered by the major manufacturers) because I know that cleaning lead deposits out of a sealed can is next to impossible. So what subsonic ammo is the best all around performer, and wont chew up my baffles? As long as it is subsonic, a few decibels either way is less important to me than making sure my can has a long, healthy life. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Santorum: Establishment's in a 'panic'
Via POLITICO's Juana Summers, Rick Santorum pushed back hard on questions about his path forward:
Santorum, who is campaigning across Wisconsin for the next day, brushed off comments by influential Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who say Romney will likely be the party's nominee.
"A lot of people must be really concerned we're going to do really well on Tuesday, so I'm encouraged by all of this. I think it shows that the establishment is getting nervous and we must be doing well and connecting with folks. I think you're seeing that," Santorum said. "I mean, I don't know how the folks can look at this and see us running well in all the swing states, winning well ahead of governor Romney, doing so with a fraction of the money he has, with a fraction of the establishment behind him, and all the endorsements, and all the inevitability and all the phony math, yet here we are, and we've got a lot of folks suddenly getting really really nervous two days before the Wisconsin primary."
Wisconsinites, Santorum continued, "are not go along, get along folks. The Republicans in this state are going to stand up and fight for the principles they believe in and they're going to stand behind people who are tough enough to make those things happen and I am confident we'll have a good day on Tuesday."
Asked what happens if he does not win Wisconsin's Tuesday primary, Santorum said only: "I'm confident we'll have a good day on Tuesday."

Tax deadline extended to April 17, IRS announces
WASHINGTON -- Taxpayers will get two extra days to get their income tax returns filed this year.
The IRS announced this week that the deadline is April 17, because April 15 falls on a Sunday and Monday is Emancipation Day.
Emancipation Day is a holiday observed in the District of Columbia, and according to federal law, District of Columbia holidays impact tax deadlines in the same way that federal holidays do.
As a result, all taxpayers will have two extra days to file this year, according to Carrie Resch, with the IRS office in Minneapolis, which covers Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Taxpayers who need even more time and need to request an extension will have until Oct. 15 to file their 2011 tax returns.
The IRS expects to receive more than 144 million individual tax returns this year, with most of those being filed by the April 17 deadline.
Resch encourages taxpayers to e-file as it is the best way to ensure accurate tax returns and get faster refunds. The IRS will begin accepting e-file and Free File returns on Tuesday.
IRS Free File provides options for free brand-name tax software or online fillable forms plus free electronic filing.
Everyone can use Free File to prepare a federal tax return. Taxpayers who make $57,000 or less can choose from approximately 20 commercial software providers. There's no income limit for Free File Fillable Forms, the electronic version of IRS paper forms, which also includes free e-filing, Resch said.
Resch said many answers to questions about filing tax returns can be found by visiting the improved IRS website at IRS.gov.
The IRS has updated the front page of the IRS website to make it easier for taxpayers to get key forms, information and file tax returns. The front page also has links to taxpayer-friendly videos on the IRS YouTube channel. More improvements are planned for IRS.gov in the months ahead
Last year, the IRS unveiled IRS2Go, its first smartphone application that lets taxpayers check on the status of their tax refund and obtain helpful tax information. The IRS reminds Apple users that they can download the free IRS2Go application by visiting the Apple App Store and Android users can visit the Android Marketplace to download the free IRS2Go app.

Man faces charges in Racine woman's death
The man accused of dumping a woman's body in rural Avon Township stabbed her after paying her large sums of money to cover up their affair, according to the criminal complaint.
Keith M. Abbott, 47, Sturtevant, is accused of killing Kristin S. Miller, 33, Racine, who was found dead in western Rock County on Monday in a ravine near Nelson and North Avon Townline roads, a few miles south of Highway 11, according to the criminal complaint.
Abbott was likely in Iowa in the days after he and Miller went missing from Racine County in early January, according to the criminal complaint. Highway 11 runs through Rock County between Racine County and Iowa near where the body was found.
Abbott faces felony charges in Racine County of first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse. He was ordered held in the Racine County Jail on $1 million cash bond.
According to the criminal complaint:
Abbott is the grandfather of Miller's 2-year-old daughter. Abbot was court appointed to work with his son and Miller when transferring the girl between the two parents.
Abbott and Miller later began having an affair, which led to Miller blackmailing Abbott for money to keep the affair from Abbott's wife.
Abbott and Miller disappeared Jan. 1. Abbott returned home alone two days later, Jan. 3. He was found in the living room covering his face, shaking and crying.
Abbott was taken to the hospital for nervous, uncontrollable spasms. No medical reasons were found for his condition.
At the hospital, Abbott's socks and shoes appeared to have blood on them. An officer also found what appeared to be blood on clothes at Abbott's home and on a blanket in his truck. DNA testing revealed the blood in the truck matched Miller.
Miller's location was unknown at the time, but Abbott's cell phone pinged off a tower in Burlington on Jan. 1. Evidence such as a receipt and a credit card transaction also suggested that Abbott had been in Des Moines, Iowa, and Dubuque, Iowa, on Jan. 2.
On Monday�nearly a month later�Miller's body was found in Rock County, naked and wrapped in two types of plastic. An autopsy revealed the cause of death was stab wounds.
Abbott was arrested Tuesday at his business in Mount Pleasant. Inside the business, investigators found two types of plastic wrap consistent with the plastic found around Miller's body.
Abbott admitted the affair and blackmailing to investigators after his arrest. He said he also wanted what was best for his granddaughter.
Abbott told investigators he didn't remember anything from Jan. 1 until when he was hospitalized two days later.
He is scheduled to appear in Racine County Court for a preliminary hearing Wedesday.

The students, families and staff of Mother Teresa School share important ideals central to our development as a learning community. Mother Teresa, our patron, exemplified these ideals. Her life was a celebration of faith in God and Jesus Christ. As a Catholic school, we look to her example of faith as an important source of inspiration. The servant leadership that she has demonstrated shows us how caring for others gives life to our faith. We serve when we learn, when we play, when we pray, and whenever we are together as a school community. Our school mission statement is based on actions and words of Mother Teresa: "We are all Pencil's in God's Hands". Like Mother Teresa, we are the hearts, hands, and voices of God.
Mother Teresa School serves the Silverspring and Evergreen communities with a population of over 400 students from K – 8. We offer faith filled instruction with a dedicated, caring, and compassionate staff. Staff and students seek spiritual growth in many ways: through prayer, scripture study, liturgical celebrations, retreats and faith instruction. We see and learn about God not only in religion class, but throughout every school day. We have a very strong partnership with our church. Andy and Jane Korvemaker, from the Cathedral of the Holy Family, make regular classroom visits and Father David leads us in school Masses.
At Mother Teresa School we work with parents to teach children how to build relationships based on a spirit of respect and concern for others. We strive to create a safe, positive, and respectful school environment with a sense of belonging for all. Students are taught to pursue academic excellence, based on their God-given talents. At the same time, our staff members are dedicated to the successful development of the whole child. We are committed to working with students and families to see all children reach their full potential. Intensive French and the Literacy Intervention Program are two examples of the innovative programming and academic support that we provide for our students.
We also have a multitude of other activities that make our school community such a great place. Every year our K-4 students participate in our Christmas Concert and our senior students perform an amazing dramatization of the Stations of the Cross. We also offer a full range of extra-curricular programming and many other exciting events such as Tiger Idol, a very popular school wide talent show. Our Catholic School Community Council is extremely supportive and they host several fundraisers and community building events including the Welcome Back Barbecue, the annual Family Bingo, and Movie Nights. Other initiatives such as Our Adopt-a-family Christmas Hamper program, Brazil Mission partnership, and the MS Read-a-thon are examples of how our school community is reaching out to transform the world.

Secured Energy Efficient Hybrid Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
Energy is the scarcest resource of sensor nodes and it determines the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. The main challenge is to minimize the energy required for wireless communication by developing application independent routing algorithm for reliable and efficient data delivery. In addition to the limited resources, security is a main concern of wireless sensor networks. In this paper the proposed scheme is to revolutionize the contemporary technical arena based on the hybrid routing. The hybrid routing is derived from fundamental radio energy model considering various parameters such as number of hops, threshold energy level, distance between number of hops and Packet Reception Rate (PRR) and also it protects the network against worm hole attacks.

Needs some special attention...
By sfHarris
from NC
Ever since I watched Bob Ross on TV when I was a little girl, the idea of having and using a wooden palette was almost romanticized for me; it was that special tool to make beautiful things happen. I snatched this palette and knife set just for the palette, and couldn't wait to feel it in my hand and put it to use. Alas, I'm disappointed. The thumb hole is uncomfortable, even for short periods, and the whole thing is generally cumbersome. I'm gonna have to take it to a woodworking shop and have them sand it down, especially the thumb grip. Oh well, so much for romantic ideas.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

What have I been missing?
By sandimeyerthepainter
from Ypsilanti Michigan
I was just going to buy some palette knives, but this offer included the palette, for less than buying the knives each separately. I have been painting for 48 years and never found it necessary to use a palette. Now I see what they are good for, making paint mixing so much easier, and the price was great.

If you're overwhelmed with the idea of digging through airline ratings, but are still determined to see which carriers provide the best airlines and worst airlines, you've come to the right place.
The good news for consumers: Airline ratings for on-time performance are improving, while complaints are falling. The bad news: Integration challenges and growing pains are creating turbulence for what traditionally has been one of the best airlines.
The top 16 U.S. airlines posted an average on-time rate of just under 84% in September, according to the Transportation Department's (DOT) most recent report. That's a step up from the airlines rating recorded the month and year before.
Airlines also dramatically reduced tarmac delays in September. For the month, there were only two tarmac delays of more than three hours on domestic flights. Plus, overall consumer complaints also fell, despite high complaints at some of the worst airlines. The total of 1,008 complaints about airline service from consumers was a 7% drop year-over-year and 24% drop month-over-month.
Meanwhile, airline ratings didn't budge for mishandled bags, as the rate held steady year-over-year.
Here's a breakdown of those airline ratings, with rankings for the best airlines and worst airlines as measured by on-time flights, mishandled baggage and consumer complaints:
As of this writing, Susan J. Aluise did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

The 30th Annual North Shore Menehune Surfing Championships was to be held October 14 and 15 at Haleiwa's Alii Beach Park. and the Saturday dawn patrol showed 4-6 foot perfection spinning from 'bathhouse rights' to the 'toilet bowl'. But many of the first surfers to hit the water for the pre-contest warm-up found the surf bigger and stronger than expected.
The event was a tentative go. And it got off to a rocky start with six foot plus suck out barrels, impending poor weather and a solid 6.6 earthquake that knocked out the power state wide. It was all event directors Skill Johnson and Co-director Ivy Bloomfield could do just keeping everyone safe and rescheduling for the following weekend.
Read the Full Scoop on last years Menehune Championships
Oct. 21 and 22 was not much tamer, sure the aftershocks died down but not the swell. But at least the power was on. This time it was a go. The solid surf kept many of the younger entrants surfing the inside reforms while others went for the outside setting themselves apart from their peers.
Despite the tricky weather and surf conditions goofy foot Benji Brand made a stand against some heavy names to win the 9-10 short board division. While Kalani David surfed the outside well to secure the 7-8 boys division. One of the best in the juice was Koa Smith, Ben Aipa's pick as the next John John, Koa took the prestigious 11-12 boys division over some heavy rippers. Hottest girl in the big stuff was Alessa Quizon ripping her way to winner of the 10-12 short board division.
