The cheapest I'm not sure I agree. good cluster design in my book is simple airflow - ideally, I'd like cold air ducted straight into the front of racks containing passive 1U-ish blades tightly sealed to prevent leakage. back of racks flow straight into chiller/fancoil intake. ideally, I'd also dump the heat into a big in-ground thermal sink rather than running a big bank of condensers outside. it's all about the fans - get rid of as many as possible, and trade little ones for fewer big ones. compressors on our chillers are not silent, but trivial compared to the 12 fans per node.

text: Q&A: Android design chief details Google's mobile future Technology 24 January 12 by Mike Isaac Tweet Diarmuid Miklos By most measures, the Android platform is an enormous success. It dominates the smartphone space in terms of market share, with over a quarter of a billion currently activated devices. It's on phones and tablets made by four of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. And its reach isn't slowing.But with enormous growth comes problems, many of which Google knows quite well. App stores. Competitors. That dirty word: "fragmentation." All of this bogs down Android during a critical phase of its development, just a few years since its initial launch.Android needs a hero -- someone who can unify the platform and work on the many weaknesses that critics attack, and even supportive users grumble about. And Matias Duarte, Android's head of user experience, wants to take that role.Under Duarte, Android launched Ice Cream Sandwich -- aka Android 4.0 -- late last year. It's the team's strongest effort yet in offering a robust, well-designed operating system that can measure up to the likes of Apple's iOS and Microsoft's platform. And at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month, Duarte launched the other half of the plan, the Android Design web site, which aims to make it easier for designers to create better, more user-friendly apps.Wired sat down with Duarte at CES for an exclusive pre-launch interview, and picked his brain about Android, design in general, and competing operating systems like Windows Phone and webOS -- the platform he architected for Palm years ago.On Android DesignWired: So tell me the philosophy behind launching the Android Design developer site. Is it specifically for what users are going to see in the interface, or is this more engineering focused? Matias Duarte: It's both what the user sees and how the application functions. Thus far, Android has had a lot of terrific developer API-level documentation. But we haven't really had a style guide, we haven't had interaction guidelines.We haven't, for example, given you a lot of guidance on how to migrate your application from a phone perhaps to a tablet. We've done so only by example, by showing you the way all the apps function in Ice Cream Sandwich. So we want to just kind of open up our studio's doors, if you will. We want to show you how we think, and how we designed Ice Cream Sandwich to work. What all its principals and its rules and its conventions are so you don't have to try and discover that yourself.Is this a response to feedback you've been getting from the Android community? This is something that developers and designers are really hungry for. For any platform, it's really important to understand what its conventions and patterns are. And so this is our chance -- now that we've finished running the marathon to get the product out the door -- to show them how they too can make apps that look and work as simply and as beautifully as the apps that we've made for Ice Cream Sandwich.You know what this strikes me as? Like my Bible, the AP Style Guide, only for developers. That's exactly what it is. There's a lot of generally agreed-upon good interaction design practices, as well as universal mobile interaction practices. Still, every operating system does things a little differently, has its own conventions. The frameworks are different.So does this mean -- "rules?" There's direction, and then there's mandate. Well, it's a slightly different situation because we don't have an editor who's going to yell at you if you're out of line. In computer ecosystems, the public decides how successful applications will be after they hit the market. So within our style guide we have certain things that we think are absolutely how one should make an Android app. But there are other variables -- examples in which code is good in some cases and bad in others. There it's left up to you to make a judgment call as to which pattern you should adopt. There, we don't have a hard and fast rule. But in either case, there's nothing that we do to enforce that.On tablets vs. smartphonesWired: I'm thinking of tablets versus smartphones specifically, and where Ice Cream Sandwich fits in. Is this going to help bridge that gap? This is something that -- in terms of tablets -- people have wanted for a long time. Matias Duarte: Yes, absolutely.Sometimes you have to break the rules. But it always helps to know that you're breaking the rules.We have some portions of the guide that are specifically focused on that topic. How to design an app that takes advantage of the extra space on the tablet. How to design an app that will adapt and use a different type of user interface when it recognises on a screen that is appropriately phone-size, and on a screen that's tablet size.So what we've launched -- it's not a document, it's not a book, it's a site. It's a destination where we continuously add more detail to some of the documentation that we have, and some of it is very nitty-gritty.To be honest, some of the most valuable content is in our design patterns. It's our thinking that goes into certain conventions, or paradigms, practices. And in these we've started with a set of some of what we think are the most important or new patterns that we've introduced in Ice Cream Sandwich. Do you expect this to bolster tablet apps in general? I think it should help tablet apps. Honestly, again, it wasn't a particular goal of ours to focus on tablet apps because we don't really think of tablet apps internally. But I think there's no doubt that several sections of the guide do focus on some of the problems unique to larger screens, and so by nature that will help tablet apps. Read page 2 1234 Read on one page Comments The final comment about consolidation in the market is interesting, especially seeing that Google has acquired Motorola. If Google are expecting consolidation in the coming years, then the writing might be on the wall in terms of providing a hardware AND a software solution. Apple has iOS and the iphone, Nokia now has the deal with Windows. Google's acquisition of Motorola (obstensibly for patents) is starting to look more and more like a very sensible move. After all, if you are your own phone manufacturer, then you can insulate yourself from hardware companies trying to play hardball with what THEY want in the software.

Thought for the day, as the last of the seed orders come in: what made me think I had room to plant 7 varieties of peas?
Thought for the season, as the garden catalogs continue to seduce online: What makes me think I'll someday learn restraint when it comes to summer bulbs?
My first pass through the catalogs of Willow Creek Gardens and Corralitos Gardens produced a bank-breaking wish list of pineapple lilies, gladioli, tuberoses and dahlias that would fill about a quarter acre I don't happen to have.
But how to choose? If your dahlia collection included:
Babylon Bronze Dahlia.
...and you were not all that into dahlias, would you really need:
Blown Dry / Courtesy Corralitos Gardens
The person in the mirror said "yes, and I'm going to get a bunch more apricotty ones and somehow connect them with big many Phaison cannas and something loud and pink and spiky that I haven't figured out yet but not gladioli I don't think although you never know."
Phaison Canna; the flower will be pale tangerine.
The other thing I haven't figured out is how to stop buying eucomis:
Eucomis, aka pineapple lily for obvious reasons.
Terrific plants. They just keep on giving. The rosette of broad shiny leaves develops quickly and before long sends up a thick spike dotted with flower buds, topped with a Dr. Seuss tuft of bracts. Ever so slowly the flowers open, bottom to top, then equally slowly the flowers dry up -- without ever looking ratty and detracting from the effect.
We are now 2 months into the show. Next come the el-nifto green seedpods, clinging architecturally to the stem. The terrific hat remains sprightly. About a month later they do start looking tired, at which point you can cut and dry them (if you're interested in that sort of thing).

Dried flower stem and yardstick.
This is a dried stem of E. Pole Evansii, largest of the group. It was in a vase at green seedpod stage, then kept because I thought of planting seeds. The bulbs are quite pricey. On the other hand it's about 5 years from seedling to blooming size so this thing is probably headed for the compost pile.
As you may have noticed, that stem is curvier than one might wish. It's a hazard with the taller types, including Sparkling Burgundy, notable for its deep maroon leaves.
E. Sparkling Burgundy
The partial shade in which my plants reside makes curvature -- and less colorful leaves -- more likely, but it can't be helped. Staking is impossible not just aesthetically but physically; the stems rise right from the center of the big fat bulb.
The erect shorties in both group pictures are E. bicolor. It never flops and would be great in pots. The flowers have beautiful maroon streaks that reward close viewing.
E. Pole Evansii and E. bicolor are sold by Brent and Becky's Bulbs. My Babylon Bronze came from Endless Summer Flower Farm. Their photo doesn't do it justice either, but you get the general idea.

Timber Samples - Australian, John Cuthbert, pre 1866 Reg. No: HT 25402
- Summary:
- Box of Australian timber samples exhibited by John Cuthbert, Ship Builder of Sydney in the New South Wales Court at the 1866 Intercolonial Exhibition in Melbourne. The box contains 30 timber samples from blue gum, northern red gum, southern red gum, water gum, southern spotted gum, northern spotted gum, iron bark, black butt, blood wood, bang ally, iron bark (40 years in use), stringy bark, mangrove, colonial beech, colonial pine, mahogany (27 years in water), swamp mahogany, swamp oak, kauri pine, cedar, forest mahogany, myall, white honeysuckle, red honeysuckle, bean tree, white tea-tree, tulip and native pear tree.
John Cuthbert (1815 - 1874) was born in Ireland and arrived in Australia in 1844. Between 1855 - 1874 he operated his ship building business based at Miller's Point in Sydney. He designed and built Australia's first warship, the 'Spitfire', from ironbark and blackwood timbers with copper fastenings. The ship was commissioned by the New South Wales colonial government and was launched in 1855.
The Intercolonial Exhibition of Australasia was held on the site of the Public Library, in new wings that eventually became the site of the Industrial and Technology Museum in 1870, a forerunner to the National Museum of Victoria. The Exhibition covered 56,240 ft. The majority of the 2,956 exhibitors were Victorian, but the other Australian states also contributed significantly; displays were also mounted by exhibitors from New Zealand, New Caledonia, Netherlands-India and Mauritius. The Exhibition opened on 24 October 1866 and closed on 23 February 1867. A total of 268,634 people attended. - Description:
- The box is rectangular, scratched and made from a dark-stained timber. It has a hinged lid with two swivel metal latches on the front that clasp the two hooks that are fitted to the edge of the lid. The lid does not sit flat and cannot be latched. On one side of the lid there is a metal label with stamped/engraved text. There is a hinged side wall that opens out and down to allow access to the samples. Inside this side wall there is a small ITM sticker attached with a number. There is a ring fitting (broken) latch on this side wall. The 30 samples are arranged 6 wide by 5 deep and are separated by crossed timber slats so that each sample can be individually removed. Each sample is polished and has a number written on one of the square faced ends. There is a loose sheet of paper inside the box printed with the numbers and names of the samples. The bottom left hand corner is torn and missing, leaving samples 25 and 26 unidentified. There is pencil writing on the ends of these two samples but it is illegible. There are two pieces of paper/card (possibly business cards) attached with tacks to the inside of the lid. There is also a scrap of faded ribbon with orange staining.

Biography of John Cuthbert http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A030481b.htm - Retrieved 17 Jun 2010 (M. Vaughan) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Cuthbert built Australia's first warship "The wooden gunboat Spitfire was ordered by the NSW Government to help protect Sydney against Russian warships based at Vladivostok. Designed and built by the Sydney shipbuilder John Cuthbert, she was a sturdy little vessel which was to render valuable service to two Colonial governments and numerous private owners. After the appropriate ceremonies, the Spitfire was finally launched by Mrs. Cuthbert at 10.30 am on the 3rd April 1855. The sight of the Spitfire gracefully gliding into the waters of Port Jackson filled the assembled crowd with a sense of pride and achievement, for this was the first warship built in Australia for a Colonial government. Constructed entirely of ironbark and blackwood with copper fastenings, the Spitfire was a graceful yet solid little ship. Her hull was sheathed with 22 oz copper, which was to prove invaluable in her latter career in Australia's tropical north. Accommodation onboard consisted of a four berth cabin aft as well as some temporary berths in the ship's hold.

Exploring the use of iPads and mobile devices in education.
Thanks to Greg Clinton for this suggestion. The following blog post on the Wandering Academic site outlines a useful workflow for collecting, annotating and returning student work.
Set up an account on a cloud service such as DropBox. Have students submit their work into a common folder or a separate folder that you set up for each student. You can also a;ternatively use the JotForm app to create a special form for students to submit their file. Use the GoodReader app to receive, review and annotate the document. Once complete, the annotated work can then be sent back to the student via email.
Click here for the full blog entry...
Tags: annotate, dropbox, goodreader, jotform
If DropBox or other Cloud storage/hosting services are not allowed at your K-12 institution it is possible to still take advantage of the power of web syncing. Most modern computers should now support a file protocol called WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning, http://www.webdav.org/). It is also possible a higher learning sites, however it would be best to contact your IT staff about getting server space for you class that includes WebDAV.
I'll see about a blog post with a list of options. Microsoft and Mac OSX servers can host them. Also personal computers running at least Windows 7 and OSX 10.6 can be configure to run it (requires turning on additional features already in both OSs). Several models of NAS (network attached storage) also now include WebDAV as an option.
Keep in mind that GoodReader also supports FTP/SFTP in nothing else is available.

SHEFFIELD — Vermont State Police investigating the abduction and killing of a Sheffield grandmother more than two years ago have returned to her home to search the property.
Mary "Pat" O'Hagan, 78, disappeared from her home in September 2010. Her body was found nearly a month later by hunters in a remote area 10 miles away.
No arrests have been made in her killing.
WCAX-TV reported that detectives searched her property Tuesday to see if anything may have been overlooked.
In November a Vermont state police detective testified that Michael Norrie, a Sheffield man held on other charges, "was confessing to part of the murder" when he stopped cooperating with authorities.

Online courses appeal to those seeking a flexible schedule and greater accessibility
MARQUETTE -- Since 2000, online enrollment at Bay College has increased by nearly 300 percent. Educators say online classes are an increasing trend across the country, but many still prefer a traditional lecture-style class.
Online education caters to a more multimedia generation of students. For some students, especially those with families and jobs, online courses offer greater accessibility and convenience.
"It's a really good solution for people that have busy schedules, and they can learn right from the comfort of their own homes or from their mobile devices," said Joseph Mold, Director of Online Learning and Instructional Technology at Bay College.
On Facebook, Tom Henley says, "Saves gas driving to school, less distracting than a classroom environment plus you can take classes with the flexibility to work with your schedule."
But for some degrees, like in science or medicine, students agree that online courses are not the way to go.
"There are certain areas of study that you can't really do online. You need that instructor, hands-on experience," said NMU Sophomore Pre-Med student Courtney Ely.
Other say they avoid online classes because they need face time with an instructor. Senior Archaeology Major Gabby Hoffman has taken three online courses, and says the best ones have an involved professor.
"The professor made themselves accessible. They're like, 'Yes it's an online course, but if you have questions or problems, come see me,'" said Hoffman.
NMU Professor Ferrarini agrees. She has taught online since 2000 and says an interactive class is the way to go.
"In an online course, if it is structured correctly, you're interacting not only with your instructor regularly, but you're interacting with each other regularly," said Ferrarini.
Comments on Facebook vary both for and against online education, but Renee Tranowski says, "Any education, whether online or in a classroom, is a good thing!"

Talk:Semantic Maps/Specifying size for infoWindow
From Mapping on MediaWiki
Thanks for this terrific extension.
I'm querying multiple properties for each marker on the front-page map of my local planning project using the following code.
{{#ask: [[Category:Sites]] |?Position |?BuildingCount = Number of Structures |?CampaignStatus# = Status |?Campaigner = Campaigning organisation |Format=map |Height=800 }}
Private wiki, SMW 1.5.6, SM 0.7.6.1
This is fine when there are only two properties to display. However, when I add a third the text spills out of the infoWindow bubble without creating the usual scrollbar for overflow:auto.
Is there a way to specify a minimum height for the infoWindow? I would like to include images eventually, so this would be invaluable.

Political Tourism
The Concept of Political Tourism
Europe's Founding Fathers' Houses Network started the idea of a new way to travel called "
political tourism
", a sort of
European political pilgrimage
. Interested visitors will be invited to the places where the history of Europe began. In proposing a set up of an information program and consistent route between the four sites, the project aims to give the public a knowledge that allows them to better understand the influence that the Founding Fathers had on the construction of Europe and the spiritual heritage that they passed down to us, to know the respect of others, and the desire for peace, liberty, and law. Our experience in the matter proves to us that this is all possible through visiting different memorial sites that played major roles in the process of the construction of Europe.
The initial path links the four houses together in France, Germany, and Italy. In passing the places where Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi, Robert Schuman, and Jean Monnet lived, visitors will discover the history of the great men who laid the first stones of the European construction. This journey will progressively be enlarged to other sites from the first map (such as the first community institutions) or those that strongly influenced the creation of the European area.
Being aware of the importance of tourism in the regional economic development, the Network predicts to set up a collaboration with actors of the world of tourism. Thanks to partnerships with cultural tourism agencies, proposing quality offers and corresponding to the needs of the diverse public, it will be possible to encourage potential visitors to make this voyage. The Network will recommend the cooperation with local businesses: important actors in the development of the local economy.
It is necessary to understand the word "politic" in the concept of "political tourism" as a reference to the Greek noun "polis"- the town, a community composed of free and independent men. It refers to the notion of
democracy, one of the founding principles of the European Union
. In ancient Greece, the city only existed because it was created by the citizens. We can without a doubt find this concept in the European Union - it can only build itself and function soundly with the active participation of citizens in political life. The Network therefore is the objective,
to sensitize the European citizens to their common past so as to give them every possible chance to influence the future
. This objective is becoming essential today, during a time when we see a big disinterest among citizens towards European political life. This disinterest, following the example of the increase in Euroscepticism, found itself largely in the incomprehension of workings of European institutions and the ignorance of the cultural diversity that makes up the European area.
Therefore, it is essential to show more of an interest in the European plan, going through a more profound knowledge of the European Union and its history.
Political tourism in no way means political agitation or a militant path. The network, inspired by the Founding Fathers' universal plan, didn't intend to show any one political color, except for maybe blue and yellow, the colors of the European flag. It has a willingness to unite citizens around a common plan regardless of their diverse political tendencies.
The official announcement of the concept launch took place at a
press conference
in Brussels on 5 May 2009, just in time for the 60th anniversary of the Schuman-Monnet Plan.

I know I definitely would have gone to the Denver show. Unfortunately Strange Music dropped the ball in regards to promoting the tour and I had no idea it was even going on. This is probably the real reason kutt's shows are getting cancelled left and right. Don't blame the fans for this one.
Correct..... we need a tour listing or something to even have a chance at going to one of melvins shows.
i have already been to 2 kutt shows in denver they were dope and i havent heard of them getting cancelled i just havent heard a lot of noise from the street teams thats why its best to find shit out yourself and promote it yourself like blh has a show at the roxy theater in denver on june 30 and kutt had one last night at the same place as blh and he has one tonight in colorado springs

Root Liquor, A Taste of the Past Re-Imagined
The trend for cocktails in the past few years have moved in two directions, super futuristic featuring molecular mixology and decidedly retro with bitters and elderflower liqueur. Root is a liqueur from Philadephia-based collective Art in the Age that traces its heritage all the way back to the 1700s when colonists were first introduced to root tea brewed with sassafras, sarsaparilla, wintergreen birch bark, and other roots and herbs. This later formed the origins of root beer. Root is not a strictly root-beer-flavored vodka. Instead it is a multifaceted mix of a variety of herbs and essences to create a unique spirit that harkens back to the past. Tomorrow night, 11/24, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the Pittsburgh Cocktail Competition will be held from 8-11pm at Bossa Nova with $5 Root Cocktails.
You can pick up your own bottle for $39. Visit the Art in the Age website for links to online locations. Some quick recipes for enjoying Root are here.

In the last few decades, Don Chadwick has pioneered the use of modern materials, moulding processes and mechanisms leading to cutting-edge products that have raised the standard for their market. A native of Southern California, Don Chadwick received his principal training in design at the University of California, Los Angeles. He then worked for architect Victor Gruen before establishing his own practice in 1964. In 1974, Chadwick designed Chadwick Modular Seating. In collaboration with William Stumpf he designed the Equa 1 flexing-plastic chair (1984). Then in 1994, the landmark Aeron chair catapulted Chadwick to national attention, the Industrial Designers Society of America and Business Week Magazine awarded Design of the Decade to the Aeron chair in 1999. Chadwick has received numerous awards over the past three and a half decades. Chadwick's relationship with Knoll marks a milestone in the career of an inventive designer. "I am gratified to be part of the Knoll legacy, I consider Knoll to be at the highest level of contemporary design, and our collaboration is a notable one for me." with the Chadwick chair, he has proven himself as effective at bringing a product to market as he has been at creating the market itself.
Bill StumpfThe design that fulfilled these criteria met all expectations and shattered some of them. It wasn't upholstered. It wasn't padded. It was dimensioned in three models that looked exactly alike and that had nothing to do with their users' job titles. It didn't look like any other office chair. And its revolutionary concept incorporated more patentable ideas than any previous Herman Miller research program."It was a matter of deliberate design to create a 'new signature shape',"says designer Bill Stumpf. "Competitive ergonomic chairs became look-alikes. Differentiation was a huge part of the Aeron design strategy, and it remains one of, if not the most, critical aspects of Aeron's success."With its highly adjustable features, its breathable and supportive Pellicle fabric suspension technology, and its unique back support options, the Aeron accommodates the sitter like no other office chair on the market.
Combining distinctive looks with pioneering ergonomics, Aeron performs like no other chair. Adaptable to all sizes and shapes and all the motions you go through every day while seated, Aeron provides healthy comfort and balanced body support with its innovative suspension and easy-to-use adjustment controls.

Basic Aeron Chair Joe from Texas This chair is WONDERFUL. It's doing exactly what I wanted it to do and this company is wonderful! I'm very very happy overall! |
Saving my back JOHN from INDIANAPOLIS, IN– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer For years I purchased rolling office chairs hoping to feel good after sitting in front of a desk all day. Finally I decided to get an Aeron Chair. In fact it is so comfortable, I bought two. My sister on trying the chair in my home bought three for her and her husband. Extremely happy with this purchase. |
Very good chair Andrew from Russian Federation– Verified Buyer This chair was too expensive in my city, so I had to order it directly from USA. AllModern's managers were very pleasant while answering all my questions about choosing the correct configuration, making an order and shipping. I have read a lot about HM's products on retail sites and forums, and I think my choice is right. The chair is really comfortable. |
Aeron Chair David from Kingwood, TX– Verified Buyer Love this chair. Not is it the most confortable, but it also is built extremely well. O have used them at my work place with the same chair for 10 years and it is still like new. |
Very Nice Dawn from Aurora, CO– Verified Buyer Great quality chair. Easy to put together. Very comfy. Lives up to other reviews. I would buy these chairs again and recommend to friends. |
Good investment Carla from Meriden, NH– Verified Buyer My Aeron chair did not disappoint. I made the investment for my home office, knowing that I was investing in injury prevention. Compared to downtime from injury and the cost of physcial therapy, it's inexpensive! I got an open-box special and went with the Basic Aeron. Only adjustment is height. So far, that seems to be the only adjustment feature I really need. It has become the most popular chair in the household! Now to bring the rest of my office up to the same ergonomic standard. |
Very good L from Ny– Top 5 Reviewer Great chair, really loves upto the hype. I at a desk 10-12 hours a day, this chair is such a blessing. |
Aeron Chair Sandy Patel from Sacramento Great service and price. Easy to assemble. |
good chair sara s from nyc the chair is expensive but we've had it for a few months now and it still looks and feels new. very comfortable. |
Very Comfortable Peter from Hermosa Beach, CA– Verified Buyer Very comfortable chair. Make sure you get the right size (err on smaller size if youre on the edge). The reclining tension knob doesnt seem to do much. |
Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world. Their history of employee participation and ownership and technological innovation has long roots and continues to grow. They have always worked hard to be serious about both people and business. They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.
George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:
While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes.

Montgomery Twp Promotes Bendig To Police Chief
The Montgomery Township Supervisors have formally promoted Acting Police Chief Scott Bendig to Chief.
His promotion takes effect Monday, October 1, a day after long-time Chief Richard Brady's retirement becomes official. Brady headed the department for more than 30 years.
Bendig joined it as a patrolman in 1989 and rose through the ranks as a canine officer, DARE instructor, field training officer and sergeant, and for the past two years he has been Deputy Chief. That position disappears on Monday, but the township is hiring a new patrol officer to keep the department at full strength.

Andreas-Udd said:Her nickname is Sonja "Hitler" Abrahamsson on her own about page. Or was. See cached version.
Andreas-Udd said:Those who might wonder if she is trolling or naive, I present to you her career thus far. Hej Sonja has a blog at News24 with the title "for those of you who are tired of blogs about fashion, decorating, or having cancer" You can also listen in to her radio chronicle from September last year, see Sonja has a weekly show on Swedish tax financed state controlled radio Swedens Radio P3, where she comments on the news once a week. A bit like Andy Rooney but more annoying. When describing her small town where she grew up before she moved to Gothenburg on Sweden radio she said this: "Last I heard, faggots and jews rule the world. And last I looked, there are none of them where I come from." She's not naive. This is her style. These are her jokes. This is her brand. This is her suggestion to avoid the de-population of Northern Sweden. This isn't the only time she tells this joke, see her answers to these questions. I think you should decorate and build a haven for gays, a haven for Jews, and a heaven for Masons little scattered in Västerbotten. I imagine Saxnäs, Klimpfjäll and a village outside of Wilhelmina. Many people believe that money is power, but it's gays, Jews and Freemasons which is power. Dabitch pointed to Nazi-Bimbo Blogger Kissie, and they have a lot in common. Being obnoxious to gain fame is but one trait, and a common career path in this day and age.
Andreas-Udd said:I'm not the legal geeks you two are, but this seems to be a pretty clear cut case of what we call Renommésnyltning. 'Marketing communication should not make unjustifiable use of the name, initials, logo and / or trademarks of another firm, company or institution. Marketing communication should not be designed so that the good reputation (goodwill) is associated with other companies, organizations, individuals or institutions name, or tradenames of exclusivity in general, be used in an improper manner. The same is true in terms of use, without prior consent of the reputation earned by other campaigns.' That was a Google translate of article 15 in the ICC rules. Seems like it fits perfectly in the "It gets better" case.

Featuring a native resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, the LED-backlit LCD display offers 178°/178° (V/H) viewing angles, 5 ms response time, 350 cd/m² brightness, and dynamic mega-contrast ratio. It takes input from dual-link DVI, DisplayPort, and HDMI. The ProLite XB2776QS features a typical power draw of 43W, which can be reduced by up to 26.3 percent using the EcoMode feature. Its stand allows for pivot (to portrait) and tilt. 1.5W stereo speakers come built in. Measuring 644 x 249.5 × 455.0 ~ 565.0 mm (WxDxH), it weighs about 8.8 kg. Slated for early April, it is expected to be priced at 65,800¥ (US $686). Source: Hermitage Akihabara
Lol at trying to read magazines and comics in portrait mode on a '27 screen. You'd get neck ache from having to move your head up and down so much. It's the reason I keep my old 5:4 '17 screen with portrait mode, it's the perfect size for reading such stuff.
So you want a 24-inch monitor with 3840 x 2160 pixels resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 2 ms response time, and IPS, under $200. Not gonna happen any time soon.
Agreed, I'd like a 4k 120Hz monitor around 40" but would obviously not expect it for $200. Maybe $1,500, i.e. a similar price point as we have been suffering since the 2560 x 1600 30"s came out first. I'm really hoping the 4k TVs will appear soon and maybe some bright company will put DP connectors on them and then they sell in volume so the price drops from the stratosphere in a reasonable time frame. I can dream!
so you want a square screen? I can't imagine how much problems you will have when no one will support that resolution. Besides scaling, prepare for a lot of black space. The $400 premium over a cheap 27" screen gives you 1. 1440p instead of 1080p 2. IPS 3. 350 brightness instead of typical 250-300 4. 178 degrees viewing instead of typical 170 5. Pivot and tilt. While i don't think all that is worth $686. I would not mind paying $500-550 for something like this as long as the quality is there. I also hope it is calibrated right instead of me spending more time or money calibrating it myself.

Improving the Speed of PHP Web Scripts
PHP web scripts lose performance for a lot of reasons. The bottleneck can be in database queries, web page access or even slow algorithms. When performance drops, the user gets frustrated waiting for results. Less users mean less business, and your web site becomes unpopular.
The main reason for performance loss is bad software analysis and engineering. Web sites often are created and launched without thorough performance testing. Databases often are designed to accommodate less data than they actually do. Algorithms often are designed poorly and usually are not optimized for speed.
When you cannot redesign the entire web design so that it runs more quickly, you must improve its performance by serving static pages instead of interpreting PHP whenever there's a hit. Let's look at the ways to achieve this goal.
The first thing that you can do is preprocess those PHP scripts, or script parts, that take more time to execute. You can do it with the help of a PHP shell. Suppose you have a web script called index.php, and you want to preprocess it. Assuming that the PHP shell is called phpsh, the command line is:
phpsh -q /some_dir/index.php > /some_dir/index.html
The file index.html is now plain HTML and doesn't need any PHP processing. You can serve it right away to the web client. But what if the PHP script results change over time? You'd have to preprocess the script every time the results are different. The solution is to preprocess the PHP script periodically.
In Linux, the easiest way to execute a given process periodically is called crontab. The following crontab entry illustrates a preprocessing that would execute every 15 minutes:
*/15 * * * * root phpsh -q /some_dir/index.php > /some_dir/index.html
However, the chosen timing might not be enough to keep the information updated. Furthermore, some scripts are not accessed over long periods of time, while others are constantly accessed, making the use of this technique pointless. In this case, a script-based mechanism is needed.
This technique preprocesses scripts periodically, but only if they are accessed. It works much like a web proxy caching system. I will show two ways of implementing this functionality: output buffering and after-time processing.
Output buffering checks the cache file date and time and only processes the script if needed. The processing is done by buffering the output and saving it in the cache file before it is sent to the client.
In PHP you do this with the help of the ob_start() function. This function will turn output buffering on and send it to a callback function. There is another function to send the buffer back to the browser: ob_end_flush(). Let's take a look at an example:
<?php // include header file include("header.php"); ?> <?php // sleep for 10 seconds sleep(10); ?>
<?php // include footer file include("footer.php"); ?>Inside header.php, you'll find all the cache processing. It begins by checking whether the script needs caching by calling the needscache() function. This function can check the need for cache based on a time out or based on anything you like. For the purpose of this article, the checking is based on cache time out.
If the script needs caching, the ob cycle is started, and the script output is written into the cache file. If it doesn't need caching, the script output is read from the cache file and sent to the client's browser (see Listing 1).
Listing 1. The script output is read from the cache file and sent to the client's browser.
The footer.php script simply closes the ob processing:
<?php ob_end_flush(); ?>
You can test this technique by calling the script many times before the cache times out. You'll notice that in the first call you'll have to wait ten seconds (this is because the script sleeps for ten seconds, for testing purposes), and in the following calls the output is immediate.
However, when the cache times out, you'll have to wait for the script to finish processing. Let's see how you can prevent this and give the user the illusion that the script is always fast.
After-view processing also checks the cache file date and time, but the processing is done after the file is served, solving the cache time out processing burden. This is done by caching the file after the script ends execution.
In PHP, you can do this by associating an arbitrary function with the script termination event through the register_shutdown_function(). The only file you'll have to change is header.php (see Listing 2).
Listing 2. Associating an Arbitrary Function with the Script Termination Event
I simply added the doaftercache() function that is called only after the script finishes. It then calls the script like a normal browser does and caches it. The only time you'll have to wait is when the script has never been cached before. Test it and you'll get the feeling that the script is very fast.
wrong script
missing header.php you mention all the functinality of your header.php yet you havent shown the code :(
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

On Washington's side: Shea-Porter takes her stand
Last week Shea-Porter participated in a conference on the future of the Great Bay. High levels of nitrogen have been a problem in the bay. The Environmental Protection Agency has set new nitrogen emission standards that are extremely low and that will cost the communities on the bay hundreds of millions of dollars to meet. Several of the municipalities have sued, saying that the standards are far too low and won't produce the desired results.
Shea-Porter, of course, is siding with the EPA, questionable science and all. Instead of siding with the local municipalities, she said she would try to get federal money to help pay for the costs of meeting the EPA's standards. She called water bodies like the Great Bay "national treasures" that need to be protected. True, but how? That's the question, and Shea-Porter's answer is: However the EPA says.
Also last week, Shea-Porter finally took some kind of position on the Internet sales tax legislation pending in Washington, which could lead to the destruction of the New Hampshire Advantage. Her position was to support Jeanne Shaheen's proposed amendment carving out an exception for states that do not have a sales tax. Of course, once the law is in place, that exception can be revoked easily.
From Obamacare to Medicaid expansion to the Internet sales tax, it would be helpful if New Hampshire's 1st District were represented in Congress by someone who actually sided with New Hampshire instead of Washington power-grabbers.

PITTSBURG, Kan. —
Anthony Abenoja — then a freshman — opened eyes during last year's Pittsburg State spring game, enough so that some Gorilla fans wondered aloud if they'd be seeing the young gunslinger in the fall if then-senior Zac Dickey struggled.
Those struggles, of course, never came and Dickey led the Gorillas to the program's first national title in 20 years while Abenoja watched and learned from the sideline.
A year later, Abenoja is the unquestioned starter, earning the job before spring camp and earning the designation of a team captain from his teammates.
The learning process has shifted into second gear.
"This spring was great," Abenoja said. "I've learned a lot. I've gotten a lot smarter, football-wise. Being with the team and getting the starting snaps has gone real well. We've been able to get the chemistry down."
Abenoja is in his third year with the program, redshirting his first season out of Blue Valley High School where he played for Steve Rampy, now known as Pittsburg State's offensive coordinator.
He is charged with the daunting task of filling the shoes of Dickey, who became a hometown hero during the Gorillas' title run.
The only problem is that Abenoja's are completely different shoes — different sizes, different styles.
He's listed at 6-foot-3, 218 pounds — two inches taller and 14 pounds heavier than Dickey, although Rampy says it's closer to 20 pounds.
And while Dickey's biggest threat was a quick first step that led to big gains on the ground, Abenoja will look to throw first.
"Zac's physical attributes were different than Tony's," Rampy said after Saturday's spring game. "Tony is not slow, it's just that Zac Dickey was explosive fast and that's different.
"Tony can run a little bit and he's 20 pounds heavier than Zac was too so he's hard to take down. But at the same time, that's not his forte. His forte is taking care of the ball through the air and making good decisions with the run game and we feel good about that."
Abenoja showed glimpses of his strong arm on Saturday, hitting nine passes for 167 yards. But he also threw nine incompletions — a couple drops and some balls that were well off the mark when defensive pressure was in his face.
"Our timing is just a little bit off," Abenoja said. "Some guys had to miss some practices and I just don't quite have the timing down just yet with all of the receivers."
But Pitt State coaches expect that timing to come quickly when fall camp arrives. They say Abenoja has a bit of Brett Favre in him — he has a short memory when it comes to missed passes or turnovers and he's not scared to try and thread the needle.
Plus, they're already seeing his leadership abilities as a sophomore.
"The guy who led us last year (Dickey) was pretty dang good," Rampy said. "He was a winner and a warrior. I told Tony all winter that even though he does things different than Zac, he still has to be that same warrior and winner. And he's done that."
And Abenoja expects to one day do what his predecessor did — bring a trophy back to Pittsburg.
"We won't miss a beat," he said. "We're still going to strive for a national championship and we expect nothing short of that now."

Featuring FATboy (Remix EP)
This EP/Demo/Mixtape/Whatever is some remixes that are old and (sorta) new. I made the tracks originally (except for 1 that has a sample, guess which one :-P) and all of them are different genres of music that I listen to. I did these remixes for a lot of reasons; to see how it would sound with my music, to see learn how to adapt to not just one genre.....majority of it is because there were contests to remix some of these songs and they didn't win. Oh Well....ENJOY!!!! :-D
