Customer Sagem ITD58 Digital Freeview TV Receiver Reviews (10)

I wanted a basic set top box for my spare room a few years ago and I found the Sagem ITD58 Digital Freeview TV Receiver priced at a very reasonable (at the time, this was about 5 years ago to my memory) £24 from Argos. I must stress, I wanted a basic, no bells and whistles Freeview receiver so I could watch digital channels on the spare TV. So I didn't think spending so little would really matter, especially as I'd heard of Sagem previously, and I knew that Argos have pretty decent customer care so if there were any problems I could at the very least exchange the set top box. So; what do you get in the box? Quite simply you get - The Sagem ITD58 ... Read the complete review

Before we got Sky this was our Freeview box. It has now been relegated to the bed room but still does the job. We bought this for £29.99 but that was a good few years ago now and they have come down dramatically in price since then. There is a lot of choice for set top boxes but we chose this one as it was small and quite stylish looking. I didnt want one of them horrible big black boxes sat in the living room. Installation for this set top box was easy enough. Just 2 wires and one plug to sort out and within 15 minutes it had tuned in all the freeview channels. You didn't really need the instructions but they appeared to be well thought ... Read the complete review

When I first got a freeview box which was a good few years ago, this was the one I purchased because of what it offered and also because of the price that it was available at. I was looking for something which was better than standard TV and offered a few extra channels and this seemed to tick the box. Price This was purchased for £25 if I remember rightly. I thought that for the extra channels you get it was a good price because there is no monthly payment and instead just a one off. So for this price you really can't complain it is to expensive to purchase like some others which are £80+. Channels The extra channels you got ... Read the complete review

It's time for me to have a declutter so I thought I would review my old freeview box before it goes into the bag for the charity shop. Sagem isn't well known for their electrical products but I previously had a sagem phone which was brilliant so decided to give their freeview box a try. It currently costs £24.99 but was £35 when I bought it. The good part of the box is its small size, meaning it doesnt take up much space but it also makes it really light and prone to slipping around if you tug at the cables. It is easy to set up, just attach it to your TV using a scart lead and press the buttons to tune the channels. Unfortunately the box ... Read the complete review

The Sagem IDT58 digital set top box is a pretty cheap, small and pretty easy to use Freeview TV receiver. It's currently going for about twenty to twenty five pounds at Argos and Currys at the moment. So what do you expect from this machine? Well, as a Freeview TV set top box, it does exactly what you want it to. Comes with two Scart plugs and a aerial one it sets up nice and easy - all you do is plug it in, and wait for the automatic installation to do it all for you. Within a few minutes you'll be watching your free channels with glee. The product is quite small, and incredibly flat. Width-wise, it's just under 30 cm and is about 15 cm length, ...

A year ago, most local families were forced to drive to Columbia, St. Louis and even other states regularly for diagnosis and treatment of an autistic child.
The therapies that parents were able to implement in Southeast Missouri didn't always seem effective or practical.
But over the past 12 months, services for autistic children have increased dramatically.
Read Sunday's Southeast Missourian for the first of a two-day series on reports about the changes in dealing with autism.

The osprey are gone. Today I walked on my favorite path
along the Clackamas River and the nest is empty. I haven't walked this trail
very often this year – it was too hard to do it without Charlie, who loved this
walk (truthfully I think he loved every walk; it's just that this one had so
much water to play in!). But I've been there often enough to know Mr. &
Mrs. Osprey had raised another family on the light pole overlooking the
river. Their empty nest is another
reminder (along with the rain and chillier weather we've been having in
Portland the last week or two) that another summer is over.
I think I have a love-hate relationship with fall. This is a beautiful, cozy time of year but often
melancholy for me. Next week will be the 10th anniversary of John's
death, and the first anniversary of losing Charlie. It's hard to watch the days grow shorter and
the darkness come earlier. There's a sense of things dying. The ospreys'
absence is just one little death. The
Canada geese, usually so abundant along the river, are missing also. The
grasses all bear empty seed pods, the Canadian thistle and Queen Anne's lace,
the teasel and clematis have all gone to seed.
The swallows (or martins or swifts, I'm not sure which) were still
swooping in circles, hunting for insects, but they will soon be gone too. Heading south to warmth and longer days.
The osprey, the geese, the swallows and the green grass will
return in the spring with the warmth of the sun. Most likely I will be here to
greet them and celebrate their return like old friends. But I've lived long
enough to know there is no certainty in where I will be or how I will be; I
know today, right now, is the only certainty I have, and that has to be enough.
I have missed my contemplative walks in nature, where I find
such a strong connection to the Divine. I've been reading St. Bonaventure's The Soul's Journey into God for my Living
School program. It's difficult reading; it might have been slightly less
challenging had I ever taken a philosophy course, but I haven't. However, it is stretching my mind a little.
He talks about the steps to Union, contemplative consciousness,
and one step is seeing God in Creation, realizing the love and abundance and
generosity in all things. But the next step is not only seeing that they are
gifts from God, but seeing God present in all of creation, realizing how Creation mirrors the Divine. Just as we do not draw breath without it being
God's will, God breathing love into us, according to many theologians, so too does
each created thing contain a spark of God's love. And each thing is capable of
love, because God is present within it. All of creation exemplifies and returns
God's love by being what it was created to be.
And doing what it has been created to do, in the fullness of God's time.
So by abandoning their nest for this year and heading to Mexico
for the winter, the osprey are loving God. So too are the geese and all
migratory birds and animals when they begin their journeys, and then next
spring journey back to the Northwest. The grasses and other plants likewise are
showing us how to let go and surrender to Love when they scatter their seeds
and die. The trees show their love of God by reaching green arms to the
heavens, waving them in the wind, but allowing those green leaves to turn
golden, then brown, then drift to earth.
As I sit at my computer and think about this beautiful dance
of the seasons, I can imagine God conducting the orchestra, and the symphony of
love and creation, of living and dying, of the flow of life draws me deeper
into this mystery. And I imagine God smiling with the beauty of it all, so in
love with you and me, with the osprey and the teasel, with the trees and the
river. What God has created delights God endlessly; and when we can see that,
we, too, are delighted and desire nothing more than to be part of this
beautiful melody.

ROUND ROCK, Texas — Manny Ramirez didn't waste any time getting in the swing of things in his latest bid to return to the big leagues.
The 41-year-old slugger hit the first pitch he saw for a single in his debut for Class AAA Round Rock on Sunday, three days after joining the Texas Rangers on a minor league contract. He went 1 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout in a 4-0 Express victory against the Omaha Storm Chasers.
Batting cleanup and facing a top Kansas City pitching prospect in right-hander Yordano Ventura, Ramirez hit a soft line drive to right field leading off the second but was stranded at first. He grounded into a fielder's choice to end the third — again hitting the first pitch.
With the cheers growing louder for each at-bat, Ramirez struck out swinging on a 94 mph fastball from Ventura to end the fifth. He walked against reliever Michael Mariot in the eighth and was taken out for a pinch-runner.
"The future is greater than the past," Ramirez said after the game.
A kinder, gentler Ramirez said he feels no pressure and has no timeline two years after his last appearance in the majors with Tampa Bay.
The 12-time All-Star who once forced his way out of Boston and twice was suspended for testing positive for banned drugs said before the game he was "so happy to get a chance to play the game I love."
"We all do a lot of things when we are young, but if you can make it through the fire, you are changed, made better and ready for anything else," said Ramirez, who was sporting much shorter dreadlocks after getting them cut to conform with Texas' minor league rules.
He shaved the sides of his head because he said it makes him feel cooler in the Texas heat.
Ramirez retired in April 2011 when he was with the Rays rather than face a 100-game ban for his second suspension. He served a 50-game ban for a positive drug test while with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2009, and his second suspension was later reduced to 50 games.
The lifetime .312 hitter was in Los Angeles because he forced his way out of Boston, where he won two World Series. He didn't want the Red Sox to pick up the option on his contract so he could sign a more lucrative deal elsewhere.
While Ramirez is 14th on the career home run list with 555, he has 28 since the start of 2009 because of injuries and the drug suspensions.
He was 1 for 17 without a homer for the Rays when the drug suspension hit. A comeback attempt with Oakland last year failed — he hit .302 at Class AAA Sacramento with no homers and asked for his release.
Ramirez recently finished a three-month stint in Taiwan. He hit .352 with eight homers and 43 RBIs for the EDA Rhinos, but wanted to return to his family in New York and then put out the word that he preferred to play either in the U.S. or Japan.
"I am just happy, my wife is happy," Ramirez said. "I am working very hard and we'll see where it goes. But it is a fun ride."
Jake Brigham (3-1) and Joseph Ortiz combined on a four-hitter as the Express earned a split of the four-game series and dropped Omaha six games behind first-place Iowa in the Pacific Coast League's American Conference North.
Brigham gave up four singles, walked two and struck out four over seven innings. Ortiz set down all six batters he faced to record his first save.
Omaha didn't have a runner advance past second base.
Ventura, who struck out nine and didn't walk a batter while allowing three runs — two earned — on seven hits in five innings, struck out five of the first seven hitters he faced through two scoreless innings.
But Round Rock scored two in the third inning, as Mike Olt led off with a hit, moved to third on a Leury Garcia single and scored on a Greg Miclat single. Yangervis Solarte then grounded into a force out at second but shortstop Chris Getz threw errantly to first while trying for a double play to allow Garcia to score.
In the fifth, Solarte's two-out RBI double made it 3-0.
After Ramirez walked in the eighth, pinch-runner Jared Hoying scored on a Joey Butler double.
Ramirez has 2,574 hits in 19 big league seasons, primarily with Cleveland, Boston and the Dodgers, along with short stints with the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay.
He ranks third all-time with 21 grand slams and is the all-time leader with 29 postseason homers. He has led the American League in hitting (2002), homers (2004) and RBIs (1999).
Ramirez played two games with Albuquerque of the PCL in 2009 while on a rehabilitation assignment from his first drug suspension. He also played 17 games with Oakland's Class AAA affiliate in Sacramento last year while serving out his second suspension, but then asked for and received his release in June.

North Bend, OR (PRWEB) August 11, 2013
Iraq's Ministry of Electricity (MOE) currently uses MaintSmart CMMS software (http://www.maintsmart.com) and was recently trained in Amman, Jordan. This training was sponsored by the United States Department of Energy (DOE), United States Department of State (DOS) and coordinated through Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Students included electrical engineers from throughout Iraq.
This training session lasted three days and also covered other aspects of Iraq's energy sector and is termed the "Electricity Training Program" by DOE. MaintSmart was honored and grateful to be able to participate in this program. MaintSmart's training covered all aspects of the MaintSmart CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) software using MOE gas turbine data for the examples and instruction.
MaintSmart is a critical piece of this training program effort by DOE and DOS in an effort to "continue to improve the reliability, survivability and resiliency of the energy sector in Iraq" as stated by the William N. Bryan, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration of the DOE. Mr. Bryan went on to say: "Without your (MaintSmart's) efforts DOE would not have been able to provide such successful training sessions."
As with any training effort the willingness to learn, general subject knowledge and interaction of the students played a huge part also. Iraq is gifted with many highly skilled technical people and engineers. After careful deliberation the ministry chose MaintSmart back in 2009 for its ability to generate work orders automatically, MaintSmart's ability to be translated and the many analysis and reporting tools included in this CMMS software package.
MaintSmart CMMS Software is translatable into any language. MaintSmart can actually support multiple languages in the same database offering the options of user select, user assigned or location assigned language. MaintSmart is currently in use in 33 countries with recent notable translations that include Russian, Spanish and Arabic. The default language is English.
The Ministry of Electricity received training in several areas of the software that are particularly useful for their gas-powered turbine facilities:
MaintSmart CMMS Software has been providing CMMS (computerized maintenance management software) to industry, government, facilities, military, schools and more since 1997. Our annual software update (MaintSmart 4.1) includes more features important to the ministry as follows:
Call Daniel Cook, CEO, MaintSmart Software, Inc. for a personal discussion of how MaintSmart benefits the energy sector as well as any other equipment maintenance operation at dcook(at)maintsmart(dot)com or call +1-541-751-0450.

Kennedy backs tight controls on GM food
Mr Kennedy urged the Government to respond to "enormous" public concern about the technology and impose a five-year moratorium on the growing of GM crops for commercial release.
Unveiling his party's new policy paper on the controversial science, he warned that current field-scale trials posed a risk to nearby farms through cross-pollination.
To protect organic and other non-GM crops in neighbouring fields, the trials should be subject to much bigger isolation distances and be monitored by independent assessors rather than the biotech companies running the experiments, Mr Kennedy said. Both biotech firms and regulatory bodies should also be made legally liable for any damage to people or the environment caused by the crops.
Firms such as Monsanto and AgrEvo, the two leading GM companies, would have to pay full compensation, possibly millions of pounds, if found guilty of negligence, the Liberal policy indicates. Mr Kennedy, who visited one of the GM trial sites yesterday, said that it was time the Government ordered a major overhaul of the regulations governing trials.
"The Government must realise that public concern on this issue is enormous. By ignoring these concerns they risk alienating a large section of society and causing long-term environmental damage," he said. Asked if he supported the recent Greenpeace action in destroying GM trial crops, he said: "We as Liberal Democrats always support the right to express civil disobedience in a peaceful way. What we don't recognise is the right to go into other people's property and to begin to destroy it."
Dr Jack Cunningham, the Cabinet "enforcer", claimed the issues raised were already being dealt with. "The UK regulations and tests are the most rigorous in the world," he said. "The UK is the only country in the world investigating the environmental impact of growing GM crops at this level of detail and thoroughness."
n Britain faces a food poisoning epidemic of "cataclysmic" proportions unless farmers reduce the number of antibiotics in livestock, the Advisory Committee on Microbial Safety of Food warned yesterday.

Is there an ancestry.com type of thing for pets?
Asked by anniereborn (2405
August 15th, 2013
I don't mean pedigrees. I mean more like you could make
"pet family trees". For instance maybe start with your parents and their pets (that you grew up with etc). Branch off with siblings and their pets. Any pets of yours or family's or friend's that you have loved and been part of your life.

Intel to invest $5B in new Arizona semiconductor plant
- Patrick O'Grady
Intel Corp. executives announced today that the semiconductor manufacturer plans to build a $5 billion factory in Arizona that could bring in at least 1,000 permanent jobs in addition to thousands of construction jobs.
Intel plans to build Fab 42 in Chandler as the highest-volume chip plant in the world. Construction is expected to begin near the middle of this year and be completed in 2013.
While Intel officials would not say how many people it would hire, Josh Walden, vice president of Intel's Technology and Manufacturing Group and general manager of fab manufacturing, said facilities of this size typically employ 1,000 or more.
"This (fab) harnesses our network for future growth," he said.
The announcement for the new fab came Friday as Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) opened its latest facility in Hillsboro, Ore.
Fab 42 is not part of the multibillion-dollar investment Intel announced in October, when the company said it would put $6 billion to $8 billion into upgrades at the existing Fab 32 in Chandler and four other plants so they could produce newer chips. Although the company did not say how much of that amount it was investing in Arizona, an upgrade such as that could cost $3 billion or more at a single facility, according to industry sources.
Intel opted to make this additional investment in Arizona because of the relationships it already has in place with state, county and Chandler officials. There are no new incentives for Intel to locate the fab here, but it will be able to take advantage of several existing programs it has used in the past, said John Pemberton, vice president of the Technology and Manufacturing Group and plant manager for the Chandler campus.

Daily Video
April 25, 2013Who Gets Paid to Grow Food for People in Need?
Watch USAID Rethinks Who Gets Paid to Grow Food for Countries on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.
American food aid assists the world's most vulnerable populations such as Syrian refugees, Haitian earthquake survivors or Pakistani flood victims. The budget for what's known as Food for Peace is $1.5 billion dollars a year, managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, and the Agriculture Department. The idea came from President Eisenhower nearly 60 years ago.
"It is to explore anew with other surplus-producing nations all practical means of utilizing the various agricultural surpluses of each in the interests of reinforcing peace and well-being of free peoples throughout the world, in short, using food for peace," remarked President Eisenhower.
Until now, the commodities have been bought from U.S. farmers and shipped overseas on U.S. vessels, to be donated to local governments and non-governmental organizations, or NGOs.
But President Obama's new AID budget proposal calls for scaling back that system known as monetization. Instead, nearly half the money would be used to buy local bulk food in or near the countries that need it.
USAID administrator, Rajiv Shah, supports the measure and made the case for buying local at a U.S. Senate hearing, "A core part of our thinking is by using and partnering with those who represent real, local solutions, we can bring the cost of our work down and create the kind of institutional strength that can sustain these efforts and activities after American aid and assistance goes away."
As rumors of the proposed change surfaced in February, U.S. farmers, food and shipping companies and some NGOs objected in letters to lawmakers. And a bipartisan group of 21 senators from agricultural states protested in a letter to President Obama. The final decision rests with the relevant committees in Congress.
Warm up questions
1. What happens in a country when people can't afford to buy food?
2. What kind of aid does the United States give to poorer countries?
3. Who receives food aid from the United States?
Discussion questions
1. What did you find most interesting about this video?
2. How should the U.S. government decide who to give food to and how much?
3. What do you think of President Obama's shift away from shipping American-grown food to countries in need? Who stands to gain from this policy and who stands to lose?

After decades of espousing economic solutions that will aid in job creation, it is simply astounding that Janet Yellen is being challenged by the ignorami as a person who will not or cannot create jobs. Yellen has been nominated by Pres. Barack Obama to take over from Ben Bernanke as Chair of the Federal Reserve Board when his term expires on January 31, 2014. She has served as Fed Vice Chair since 2010. Her educational credentials are impeccable right up to Phi Beta Kappa. Her resume is superb.
Conflated with this conversation about Yellen's approval as Fed Chair, is the future of the Ben Bernanke's Quantitative Easing policies to flood our financial system with money. His plan was to also push interest rates to near zero and keep them there for an extended period of time. Yellen has supported those positions.
Obama's rumored first choice to replace Bernanke was that of Larry Summers. However, Senator Sherrod Brown(D-Ohio) circulated a petition some weeks ago to make clear to the White House that the Senate Finance Committee wouldn't carry Larry Summers water or his bad baggage to the Senate floor for confirmation. Many hold Larry Summers responsible for his role in greasing the skids for the U.S. economic collapse in 2009. Glass Steagall served our country very well for decades. It was passed in the 1930's to separate banks from investment banks so that we couldn't have a recurrence of the key factors that caused The Great Crash. Summers was a key advocate of its repeal. We know how that story ended and it didn't even take long once the rules were removed.
There is every indication that Larry Summers was a very poor student of U.S. economic history, especially that of the 20th Century. Ben Bernanke may turn out to have been a great one. We won't know for some years, until Helicopter Ben's grand experiment is completed, if this is a viable long term solution to The Great Recession. Ben's idea was to throw money at the economic wall until enough sticks to facilitate a recovery. I have had every expectation for years that Bernanke would oversee Part 1 of his grand experiment but leave long before someone else had to unravel the strategy in Part 2. His term expires at the end of January and his successor will have to figure out the exit plan. Bernanke hinted at a reversal of course during the summer in elaborate public statements. If you listened carefully, he never said he was going to start the Great Taper until the economy showed signs it could withstand it. The preconditions he had clearly laid out have still not been met. Worry last month about the shutting down of the U.S. Government surely was a concern.
Somehow, the Street had talked itself into The Taper as a done deal. Then they were shocked when it wasn't. Larry Summers talked himself into the idea that he was a done deal as Fed Chair and then he wasn't! Of course, Mr. Summers didn't withdraw gracefully. But that's not his style. He could have just quietly given his letter to the President removing his name from consideration. He needed for the world to know that he, the Great Lawrence Summers, was Obama's first choice and whoever else was picked was the Second Banana.
Thank you to Senator Brown. Thank you to the legions who signed onto his open letter to the President. Thanks, too, to the Senate Finance Committee who made it clear that they had had enough of Lawrence Summers and his damage to the economy and the citizens of America. In the current dysfunction that is Washington these days, somebody took a stand on something really important.
There has been unending chatter about the inflation that is lurking just around the next bend of Quantitative Easing. Yet for years now, there hasn't been the slightest hint of inflation. Why is that? Consider that what the Fed has been fighting is deflation and not inflation. Just about everyone I know is worth a third less now than they were five years ago. Many just barreled out of the stock market at the bottom in fear that they would lose whatever they had left. Others were seeking the safety of the bond market in another bad mistake. The result is that the stock market has recovered but their IRA has not. Maybe their house is still underwater from what they paid for it at the peak of the housing bubble. That buy was caused by the opposite fear. "If I don't buy right now, I will never be able to afford anything." So they overpaid and now they still can't get out and move on. When prices drop in half, as they did in many markets, they have to recover by 100% just to get you even. So, be grateful that the cash Bernanke has pushed into the financial system has helped fortify housing and pushed prices up 20% or more over the last year or more in some markets. We are off the bottom now. Only 80% to go to get even.
Those who have missed the stock market rally or worse yet been hurt this year in bonds, are not happy. Many don't grasp the long accepted concept of deficit spending in a downturn so that the Government gets things going in the right direction again when Corporate America will not. Most don't remember that when Bill Clinton left office during an economic good time, the Federal Deficit was ZERO. The debt clock on Times Square was taken down and put away. The goal was to pay off the deficit run up when the economy had tanked under George H.W. (Daddy) Bush and we did.
When George W. Bush won the highly contested election over Al Gore in the Supreme Court, one of his first actions was to interview Alan Greenspan to decide whether or not he would retain him as Fed Chair. For years Greenspan had been in favor of deficit reduction. But he liked the power he had, even if he didn't make a lot of money. CNBC always played "Mr. Big Stuff" when he would be shown on its network arriving to testify before Congress. He loved the adulation. He wanted to keep his job. He did an abrupt U Turn that very week and announced that deficit spending was terrific. W. proceeded to reappoint Greenspan and then spend like a drunk. W. added more jobs than you can imagine to the Federal payroll and also embarked on costly wars. The deficit rose and rose. Then the global financial system collapsed. There was nothing in the tank left to spend. That takes us to today.
The same folks who wanted to spend when we had a surplus decided we should cut spending when the economy is hurting, exactly backwards. They don't understand eighty years of economic policy mastered during the Great Depression and how not to make things worse. Or maybe their goal was exactly to make things worse and reclaim the White House in 2012. Unfortunately, that strategy just didn't work.
Just about every time Ben Bernanke has testified before Congress in the last couple of years, he has spoken clearly that the actions of our Government were penalizing the economy by between 1.5-2.0%. The Fed has only so many tools in its arsenal and fiscal policy is not one of them. One can argue lucidly that had the Congress not strangled economic growth with Sequestration a year ago, that the latest iteration of Quantitative Easing wouldn't have been necessary. Without it, though, the stock market wouldn't be back near record highs and auto and home sales would still be in the doldrums. Up to now, corporate profits are good but not robust. Companies are still afraid to spend money on job-creating capital projects or hire workers. They are all happy to recast their balance sheets with historically very cheap long term debt. But they aren't doing the financial things that help the economy grow again.
After her nomination, I listened to one radio show guest saying he wasn't sure Yellen could do the job. He repeated that notion over and over but never really enunciated a reason no matter how many times the interviewer asked. "Nice woman. Not the right stuff." Forbes has published a well read piece that advances a similar point of view that Yellen will kill jobs, the antithesis of what she stands for. Yet readers have flocked to that nonsense, too.
As Vice Chair of the Fed, Janet Yellen should be approved simply on her merits. Being the first woman and the first Democrat in 30 years to hold that job will make the hearings a bit more contentious than they should be. Her qualifications are outstanding. Her brain is exceptional. The New York Times described her this way: "Economics allowed her to combine a love for the rigors of mathematics with a desire to work on issues affecting people's lives." Her husband,George Akerlof, is a 2001 Nobel Laureate in Economics. They seem to have thrived for decades challenging each other in rigorous debate over the dinner table or reportedly on the beach in Hawaii on economic matters as they affect the common man.
It is noteworthy that until very recent weeks she never expected this job to come her way. She shares a similarity to the long term goal of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, who is from a younger generation for whom law school admission wasn't a pipe dream. Kagan is another New Yorker who set her sights on her present job when she was still in high school. It's always good to have a dream. Sometimes you get there. The best news is that fifty years later, Janet Yellen is finally being given the chance to move to the very top of her profession. She's from Brooklyn, also enjoying a real renaissance, so she's tough and knows what's going on around her. Even so, watch the men go after her in the hearings. I expect her to shine when they try. They won't come as prepared as she will. And they won't arrive with her brains.

A huge contrast between the stylish ambience of warm earthy tones, fine woods and contemporary art in an 18th century neo-classical building on the one hand and the cosy, rustic atmosphere of an old brewery rooted in the Middle Ages on the other. Both are just a five-minute walk apart in the middle of the historic Old Town. Even the culinary contrast couldn't be greater. Thomas Bühner is the master of three-dimensional aromatic cuisine, focusing on the unique taste of products, their preparation and an extremely carefully compiled menu. In November 2011 he was awarded the coveted third Michelin star for his culinary skills. The restaurant "la vie" is one of the top nine restaurants in Germany. In the Rampdendahl brewery, on the other hand, a freshly pulled light or dark beer provides the perfect accompaniment to the beer dishes, including a starter of Treberbrot mit Schmalz (spent grain bread with bacon and onion lard) – homemade just like the beer. To give you plenty of time to digest it all and dish up even more culture, two nights in Osnabrück are also included.

IDG News Service - Facebook's data centers already need 100-Gigabit Ethernet and ideally could use 1-Terabit Ethernet, according to a senior network engineer at the company.
The popular social-networking service's growing bandwidth needs reflect the explosion in overall network traffic that enterprises and technology companies are trying to address, according to speakers at the Ethernet Alliance's Technology Exploration Forum, held Tuesday in Santa Clara.
Facebook builds its own data centers out of many identical low-cost servers, linked via standard Ethernet, and pools their processing power to run its core applications. The network fabric that links those systems is a critical piece of the infrastructure, Facebook Engineer Donn Lee told the Ethernet gathering.
"Already, there is a need for 100-Gigabit Ethernet, and where we're going for our upgrades, there is already a need for 1 terabit," Lee said. Facebook has so many servers, and those servers can process data so fast, that they could fill 64 Terabit Ethernet pipes in the backbone of one data center, Lee said.
Ethernet is moving toward 100 Gbps (bits per second), with the option of 40G bps, but those long-awaited specifications aren't expected to be complete until later this year.
Though carrier backbone networks get a lot of attention, the escalating speeds of Ethernet may be needed first in data centers. The servers in Facebook's centers use a huge amount of network capacity as they collectively solve problems such as backing up databases, according to Lee.
"Just one of our tasks could eclipse the bandwidth of all of our users combined on any given day," Lee said.
Facebook is different from many enterprises in that it throws many servers at a single application rather than dividing up each server into multiple virtual machines. That means it faces a special challenge of knitting the many servers together. But its bandwidth challenge is rooted in fundamental advances in technology. All server motherboards come with Gigabit Ethernet built in, and today's multicore processors can easily fill those pipes, Lee said. Meanwhile, 10-Gigabit Ethernet is the fattest standard pipe Facebook can use to tie the whole data center together, and the company can't find switches that pack in enough 10-Gigabit ports to run the network at optimal speed, he said.
Ultimately, network bottlenecks slow innovation at Facebook, Lee said. Faster network connections would mean faster development, as new internal or customer-facing applications were quickly run through their paces and refined. Ideally, each server could send a full 1G bps to any other server in the data center, but that would require the 64 Terabit Ethernet pipes Facebook can't buy today -- or 6,400 of today's 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections, which isn't really feasible, he said. A fabric of that size would require 160 of the largest switches available, Lee said.
"Just imagine trying to manage these," Lee said. "There are a lot of things that are missing from this data center fabric. All of these things are essential to running an Ethernet fabric, yet none of them exist at this scale." Lee said his job is to piece together the elements that are available.
