Thousands of water meters in Galveston malfunction
Thousands of Galveston water meters malfunction, city working weekends to fix problems
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Thousands of water meters in a Southeast Texas city have been malfunctioning and officials are estimating usage while repairs are made.
The Galveston County Daily News (http://bit.ly/XkphTH ) reports more than a quarter of Galveston's water meters have failed in recent weeks. The provider, Badger Meters, has been replacing and upgrading the defective transmitters at no cost to the city.
City Manager Michael Kovacs updated council members Thursday night. Kovacs says the problem stemmed from a defect in transmitters that send usage information from meters to a computer. Crews have even been working weekends to fix the problems.
City officials know which meters, of the 23,000 upgraded since 2004, are defective and send workers to those addresses to get the correct numbers. About 2,500 meters per month can be read manually.

Cathy Holmes, was on turtle patrol this morning when she discovered a terrible sight. Vandals had shoveled up a turtle nest near walkover number 9. Eggs were thrown out of the nest; some smashed against walkover steps.
Broken eggs surrounded the nest."I called Fish and Wildlife as soon as I found it," said Holmes. "Hopefully they can get some prints from the shovel. Who would do this?"
The blade of the shovel was encrusted in egg yolk. Lt. Doug Berryman took the shovel to FFW to be analyzed.
As of June 7, there were no new leads to report according to Stan Kirkland, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife and Conservation Commission.
"It's still under investigation. Officers are looking at leads but the case is still unsolved," said Kirkland.
He did say, however, there was some good news to report.
"The volunteers were able to move some of the eggs that were not destroyed to another nest," he said.
If anyone has information, please call 888-404-3922.

As "American Idol's" ratings continue to freefall (Wednesday night, it hit a Snapback Caps), and controversial judge New Era Snapbacks continues to bear most of the public blame, Snapbacks Hats sadly isn't doing much to help "Idol's" tarnished tabloid image. On Thursday morning, Her Snapbacks For Sale took to her very unfiltered Twitter page, and she often does, to reignite her feud with co-star Snapback Bulls. It wasn't pretty. Or professional. Ymcmb snapback was responding to a tweet posted by gossip blogger Perez Hilton, which read: "Mariah Carey BURNS Nicki Minaj On Idol For Lack Of #1 Songs!" Perez's tweet linked to an article that mentioned a snarky remark Mariah had made during Wednesday's "Idol" broadcast (when Obey snapbackhad pointed out Raiders Snapback, presumably comparing her Billboard chart track record to Supreme snapback). It was a blatant baiting move on Perez's part--but unfortunately, Nicki took the bait. And that's putting it mildly. Cheap Snapback Hats rapid-fired back at Perez, Snapback Caps him: "What u SHOULD be doing (wit your messy a**) is asking why a woman SO successful at her age, is still so INSECURE, and bitter." Ohnoshedidn't. But oh yes, she did. And there was more. NBA Snapback Hats then Wholesale Snapbacks: "Bwaha! Burn? Shes sad i tied her record for Hot 100 entries in only 3 years of being in the game. Yep, a black female rapper." And then Nicki Cheap Snapbacksher latest epic Twitter rant with: "All dem #1s but JLo phone ringin?--referring to Obey Snapback that "Idol" producers had attempted to bring back former judge Jennifer Lopez as NFL Snapback Hatsemergency mid-season replacement (and in the process, sort of confirming those rumors). "I guess having a personality, being a secure woman, and giving genuine critique still trumps that," MLB Snapback Hats said. Snap

Posted: Oct 25, 2012 10:12 AM by KBZK/KXLF Media Center with John Sherer reporting
Updated: Oct 25, 2012 10:12 AM
Two crashes happened on Interstate 90 near Cardwell on Interstate 90 this morning.
The first crash involved a pickup truck from Oregon which lost control on the westbound portion of a bridge over the interstate and spun out, losing its trailer which flipped in the median.
There were no injuries reported in that crash.
The second crash was reported at around 8:40 a.m. on the same bridge when an eastbound Department of Transportation pickup truck lost control on ice. The truck crossed the median, hit the guardrail on the westbound side, breaking several guardrail posts and came to rest sitting on top of the guardrail.
There were no injuries in that crash as well.
Westbound traffic was down to one lane for about an hour.

Epic Rap Battle: Edison vs. Tesla
By Kent Harrington | Comments (2)2 Responses to "Epic Rap Battle: Edison vs. Tesla"
This reminds me of the Russ Roberts rap video of Hayek vs. Keynes on macroeconomic theory. While DC is more efficient to transmit than AC, it would have been more dangerous for use in households. Though the fundamental argument remains today – science for the sake of invention, or science leading to innovation and profit?
I'll look for the Hayek v Keynes video, sounds like it will be entertaining.
DC is getting it's due with renewables. Around the world, countries are using HVDC to transport energy from remote wind and solar sources to customers living far away in cities.Much of Europe's offshore wind will use HVDC to get it to customers on land.

Release Date: August 29, 2007
MORGANTOWN, WV — The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) and the U.S. Air Force have released a study that examines the feasibility of producing l00,000 barrels per day of jet fuel from coal and biomass. The coal+biomass-to-liquids (CBTL) facilities could also cut life-cycle emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary greenhouse gas, by 20 percent compared to conventional petroleum processes.
The study provides a performance baseline that can be used to show how CBTL with carbon capture and storage would capitalize on domestic energy resources, provide a buffer against rising petroleum and natural gas prices, and mitigate output of CO2.
The joint NETL/Air Force report, Increasing Security and Reducing Carbon Emissions of the U.S. Transportation Sector: A Transformational Role for Coal with Biomass, looks at a plant design that would gasify coal and corn stover (the leaves and stalks left in a cornfield after harvest), and then convert the gas to jet fuel using Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) chemistry. The report is the first of a series of feasibility and conceptual plant design studies undertaken for commercial-scale F-T plants employing co-gasification of coal and biomass.
At full capacity, a single plant, using the base-case configuration outlined in the report, would use more than 4,500 tons of high-sulfur bituminous coal and nearly 630 tons of corn stover per day. From this feedstock it would produce—
An environmentally friendly energy producer, the conceptual plant is based on the use of "best available control technology" guidelines for sulfur, nitrous oxides, particulate matter, and mercury. In addition, CO2 will be captured and compressed for injection into a pipeline that will ship the CO2 to a sequestration site.
Current and projected high oil prices, and rising concerns about dependence on imported oil, are creating new interest in alternative fuels. In the past, liquid fuels derived from coal have been unable to compete with the price of fuels derived from crude oil.
The report finds economic benefits for converting coal and biomass to liquids, based on the price of crude oil. At current crude oil prices of over $60 per barrel, the commercial-scale CBTL plant configurations are shown to produce products that are competitive in the liquid fuel markets.
The full report [PDF-532KB] is available on DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory's website.

I have now been back in the U.S. after spending a month in the Middle East… first in Egypt… and then in Israel/Palestine. I wanted to write almost everyday that I was on the ground, but found myself caught up in activities of work, ministry, and life. Nonetheless, I am committed to writing about some of the things I saw and experienced.
It was a great privilege for me to participate in this year's Christ at the Checkpoint Conference in Bethlehem (March 2012). The first conference was hosted in 2010 by Bethlehem Bible College, an evangelical organization committed to spreading the light of Christ through Biblical education and training. There is a great book available which highlights some of the talks from the first conference called Christ at the Checkpoint: Theology in the Service of Justice and Peace. I wrote one of the chapters.
This year's event was the second conference and it was amazing to notice many of the differences. It seemed twice as many people attended. The tone of the conference was intentionally focused on empowering and encouraging the Palestinian church, creating a platform for open dialogue and engagement for evangelicals, and motivating participants to become advocates of reconciliation… while also calling attention to the reality of daily life for Palestinians, particularly those in the Christian community. While I don't agree with everything that was discussed at the conference, I do believe the platform is a critical one from which the Palestinian evangelical community can use their voice and engage in the public sphere. Biblical scholars and Christian leaders from around the world came to talk about the Scriptures, the people of Israel in a theological context, the land, and God's heart for righteousness and justice. I was one of the "speakers" and led an hour panel discussion of Palestinian women leaders. Here is a video of the panel that I facilitated:
Palestinian Women in Ministry from Christ at the Checkpoint on Vimeo.
The participants on the panel were Diana Simaan, Grace Al-Zoughbi, Dina Katanacho, and Shadia Qubti. A brief biography of each of these women is provided below. They are amazing leaders who are doing great work on behalf of the kingdom!
Diana Simaan: Diana is the program director of the Palestinian Bible Society. She is currently involved in a project dealing with the building of Palestinian families by developing communication skills within the family. Diana has a M.A. in Health Administration from Tel Aviv University. She oversees other projects that involve empowering youth.
Grace Al-Zoughbi: A Christian Palestinian from Bethlehem, Grace serves as a teacher at Bethlehem Bible College. Grace was an undergraduate student at the college and finished her M.A. in the Theology of Transformation: Church, Scripture and World from the London School of Theology in 2010. Her dissertation entitled: "A Study of Six Influential Women: Evaluating their Personal Impact in Old Testament Times and in Palestine Today," sought to explore the idea of the dignity of women and ways in which women can seek to defend and promote values that are associated with this idea, specifically within strong patriarchal contexts. In addition to her teaching position, Grace takes part in leading a varity of programmes through her local church in Bethlehem.
Dina Katanacho: Dina Katanacho is a Palestinian Arab Israeli leader. She has earned her B.Ed. at David Yallin College (an Israeli college) and is finishing up her M.A. in Christian Ministry at Bethlehem Bible College (a Palestinian college). Dina works now as the director of the Arab Israeli Bible Society. She has led many projects empowering women to serve God and advocating family oriented ministries in which both men and women are advocating the Kingdom of God. Dina is responsible to make the Bible available for 1.5 million Palestinian Arab Israeli Citizens. She is married and has three boys.
Shadia Qubti: Shadia Qubti is a Christian Palestinian living in the Galilee, Israel. Qubti works with Musalaha, a faith-based organization that promotes reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. She was born and raised in Nazareth. She finished her undergraduate degree at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in International Relations and English Language, and her postgraduate degree in Conflict Resolution and Nonviolent Action in Trinity College University in Dublin, Ireland. In her free time, she is a member of Alphateam, a worship team that produces and composes local Palestinian Arabic songs (www.alphateam.org.).

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Here comes Santa!
Santa made his way to Kirksville, and his first stop was at the Adair County Courthouse Friday night on a fire truck.
Many kids were waiting in the cold temperatures to meet Santa and talk with him.
Each kid was handed a candy cane before sitting on Santa's lap.
The children told Santa what they wanted for Christmas and had their pictures taken.
Every Saturday from now until December 22, kids can visit Santa from 2-4 p.m. at the courthouse. There will also be a train and kids and parents can take a ride around the courthouse lawn.

"Here you will find our beliefs, our myths, our holidays, their meanings and all of the foundations for our religion. Our ethics and our actions all arise from our basic beliefs about the nature of the world."
Starr RavenHawk-Founder
Welcome to the NYC Wiccan Family Temple
(please see the "who we are" link under "home" section)
Common Questions and Answers about Wicca:
What is Wicca?
Wicca (English pronunciation: Wick - A) is a modern pagan, witchcraft religion. It was developed in Englan during the first half of the 20th century and it was introduced to the public in 1952 by Gerald Gardner a retired British civil servant. Wicca draws upon a diverse set of ancient pagan and 20th century hermetic motifs for it's theological structure and ritual practice.
Basic Beliefs of Wicca
First and foremost, Witches do not do evil - They believe that doing evil and harm is against all ethical and moral laws. Further, Witchcraft tells us: "An ye harm none (not even yourself), do what ye will." (wiccan rede first publicly recorded in 1964 by Doreen Valiente)
Witches do not worship Satan - They do not have a Satan/Devil or any all-evil deity in their religious structure. Witchcraft is a religion that underscores polarity and views God and Goddess as equal entities.
The Goddess and God of the Witches are in no way connected to Satanic practices. Satan, or the Devil, it is a Christian creation and they are more than welcome to keep him in all his thought form glory.
A male witch is not a Warlock - The word "Warlock" is a Scottish word meaning "oath breaker" and became a term designating a male Witch during the "burning times" (i.e.; the Inquisition). Male as well as female practitioners of the Craft are known as Witches.
Studying the Craft
If you are interested in pursuing magickal studies, the best advise we can give you is to read, read and guess what... READ! (reputable sources and books)
Other resources available to you are workshops and study groups hosted by your local Pagan or Wiccan witchschools, bookstores, and new age shops. You can network locally and on the internet through participation in newsgroups and on-line study groups.
The Wiccan Family Temple also created the Wiccan Family Temple Academy of Pagan Studies right here in New York City. Some could call it our own Witch School, Hogsworts or Magical realms as they say...
Please visit the academy at:
How do witches view death?
Most Witches believe in reincarnation and/or Summerland. After passing over, Summerland is where the spirit waits to be returned into a new physical form. We do not believe in a Heaven or Hell where the spirit spends eternity as reward or punishment for ones earthly actions.
Who are witches and what do they look like?
Witches come from every economic and ethnic background - Many witches are professional people holding positions of responsibility such as Doctors, Nurses, Police Officers, Teachers, etc. Witchcraft does not discriminate against color or ethnic origin and does view everything as equal in the eyes of the Goddess and God.
Witches wear clothing of every color and every style - Many Witches do choose to wear black clothing or ritual robes during practice. The color black is the culmination of all vibrational rates of light on the material plane. Black absorbs light information and helps Witches be more receptive to psychic impressions and energies.
Since Wicca is an "Earth Religion": We celebrate the Solstices and Equinoxes (the first day of Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter). We call these "Ostara", "Litha", "Mabon", & "Yule", respectively.
We also celebrate 4 days mid-way between the above dates. These are known as "Imbolc" - 2/2, "Beltane" - 5/1, "Lughnasadh" - 8/1, and "Samhain" - 10/31. On these days, we observe & celebrate the changing of the seasons and seek to attain balance within ourselves and to become attuned to the rhythms of Life.
Please check our Calendar for these events!
Why be called a 'Witch'?
The word "Witch" originally meant "Wise One" -- what's wrong with calling yourself a "Wise One"? ("Witchcraft", therefore, means "Craft of the Wise Ones"). Witches were the doctors, midwives, psychiatrists, and lawyers of a town -- a noble profession. It was only due to Christian distortions that the word became associated with "evil" and "devil-worship".
Witches do use spells - A spell is a thought, a projection, or a prayer. Other religions use prayer, meditation, projection and ritual to produce an intended result. The word "spell" does not imply doing evil or harm.
What does Skyclad mean and why do some Wiccans go Skyclad?
The word Skyclad means going naked in circle, coven, ritual etc. Some traditions do believe in doing so, others do not. The Wiccan Family Temple does not follow this tradition, since whether you are naked or not is quite irrelevant to how powerful your ritual is. At least that is our opinion. So our tradition does not go Skyclad. Others groups and traditions do have strong feelings about this topic and that is perfectly okay. You do what is best for you.
Witches do use magic wands - Often you see the use of magic wands in children's cartoons and movies making the idea seem frivolous. In actuality the magic wand is used in ritual for directing energy.
Witches do use Witchcraft as a science, an art and a Religion - Witches use their knowledge and magic in harmony with the Universe and Nature around them.
Witches do concern themselves with ecology: We believe and will never forget this basic fact: the World is not our enemy. Neither is it inert matter. The Earth and all living things share the same life-force. They are composed of patterns of intelligence, of knowledge, and of divinity. All life is a web. We are woven into it as sisters and brothers of all. Witches need to be grounded in both worlds and awake to their responsibilities for both worlds.
It is only being responsible human beings that we can be responsible Witches, and only responsible Witches will survive.*

What''s it like to be in Annie?
The Harefield Academy's 2010 performance of 'Annie' filled the theatre for three consecutive nights, and now looking back to months of rehearsals, panic, learning lines and show-stopping performances, the teachers and students involved in the show reflect on what it was like to be in 'Annie'.
It was a long and rewarding process for all involved. The first 'Annie' auditions were held on the 17th of September 2009 with over 50 students auditioning. The students had to take part in a dance class, drama sketch and sing a solo and duet.
Assistant Principal for Visual & Performing Arts, Mrs Williams said:
"A great memory for me would be the amount of younger students in the production, particularly Year 7 and 8s who showed real dedication and commitment to the rehearsals and performances and what a bright future they will have performing in The Academy over the next few years."
The Academy Principal, Mrs Gadd, commented on the success of the production:
"There is nothing more inspiring than to be part of a (packed) audience and be entertained by enthusiastic and talented young people. The afternoon and three evening performances lifted the spirits of everyone – young and old. Congratulations to everyone involved!"
Here's what some of the 'Annie' cast thought about being on the stage....
Annie (Elena Keeley) | "I liked playing Annie because it is fun and you get to do the things you like (sing, dance and act). Annie is a fiery character and she will say what she thinks. I think in some ways I'm like Annie, although I don't have curly ginger hair ha ha ha. My favourite scene in the play is when we perform the "Hooverville" song because that is the song where I have "Sandy" the adorable dog that is called Audrey. The song is quite catchy and sounds in a way Ominous." | |
President Roosevelt (Jordan Sprague) | "During rehearsals we have so much fun and we have a laugh but in the end we get the job done. I am there most of the time and enjoy every moment even when I'm not acting. The other actors are brilliant. Elena is fun and Joel and the whole cast are so much fun. Mrs Robinson is a brilliant singing teacher and Mrs Williams is a great choreographer and Mr Armstong is brilliant on the piano. I hope to be in the next show and maybe have a bigger part." | |
July (Niamh Lovejoy-Thurley) | "Being in 'Annie', is very time consuming, but apart from that it is very good. My favourite bits about being in 'Annie', is that you get to sing and act. The one thing that I would be scared about is acting in front of the audience, as I get very nervous." |
All the best pictures from the show are on the Gallery pages of the website...Don't forget to take a look.

Despite its consistent praise and adoration by fans, Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series has often come under flack for its portrayal of women. Recently, the sexualisation of the female sniper Quiet in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5 has been deemed unnecessary titillation, being condemned to the extent that Kojima felt the need to make a statement about his reasons behind her revealing outfit.
Yet, it's quite interesting that many feminist gamers seem to like the character of Meryl Campbell in MGS4. She's cocky, hardy, independent, and completely obsessed with belittling Old Snake's power fantasy. It is argued that she is as an example of a strong female character in games.
I completely disagree.

Phone: | 717-815-1948 |
Email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Stephen LoBianco was named the York College head cross country and track & field coach on August 19, 2013. He replaced Erick Camodeca who took a job at Division I Loyola University. LoBianco served three years on Coach Camodeca's staff before stepping into the head role of the Spartan program.
LoBianco's inaugural season with the Spartan cross country squad proved a tremendous one as he saw Mandy Parshall capture York's first-ever individual conference championship in women's cross country. Additionally, he helped the Green and White to a pair of quality third-place team finishes at the annual Capital Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships.
During year two, LoBianco helped mentor Tim Hartung, Steven Childress, and Aaron Robertson as they went 1-2-3 at the CAC Championships as the Spartans earned their first ever cross country championship. He also helped guide Hartung to an appearance in the NCAA Division III Championships.
As an undergrad at Shippensburg University, he was a four-year varsity athlete in cross country and track & field. He was captain of the Red Raider cross country team as well as the distance squad in track. During his time at Shippensburg, he also competed with his team at nationals.
LoBianco is a 2007 graduate of Shippensburg University with a BS in Business Administration.
After college he continues to run and train for local road races and track meets. He competes for the Bauer Shoes running team and recently completed his first marathon in 2:35.05.
Prior to his coming to York, LoBianco served as an assistant coach with track & field at Northeastern High School, where he concentrated on pole-vault and distance running.

SMF Support > Server Performance and Configuration
question about spell checker
Jerry Jingles:
what do i need to do to get the spell checker to work?
You need to have the "pspell library" installed on your server, and your PHP configuration must be setup to use the pspell library.
If you have bought a host, you can ask your host to setup pspell for you, then all you have to do is enable it in your "Edit Features and Options" in your Admin Area.
Hope that helps!
Jerry Jingles:
where do i get pspell?
Your host needs to install it.
Another site where the Spell Checker isn't working. If I look at php info I see "--with-pspell=/usr/local'" and SMF says the spell checker should work, but I get a pop-up window and a blank white screen.
Any ideas what I might do to get it to work? My SMF is wrapped in Mambo, if that matters.
UInknown, I put up a phpinfo page at http://gamesroundtable.com/phpinfo.php [nofollow] since I've seen you asking to see that....
And a testspell.php here: http://gamesroundtable.com/testspell.php [nofollow]
OK, while testspell.php crashes, if I use
--- Code: ---extension_loaded('pspell')
--- End code ---
(instead of
--- Code: ---dl('pspell')
--- End code ---
) I get a response the suggests pspell is loaded and get a bool(true) response. Please see:
http://gamesroundtable.com/testspell1.php [nofollow]
This is the code in that file:
--- Code: ---<?php
--- End code ---
Dunno what, if anything, that tells you. I'm no php programmer. :)
[Yet more edits]
The more I look at this, the more I think its a problem with my ISP. If I write a script that just says:
--- Code: ---$pspell_link = pspell_new("en");
--- End code ---
(which looks to be the first step in using pspell) it hangs... that should work, right? I've sent my ISP's Support Line an email

We suggest you look at the most insane Christmas decorations – for the main holiday of the year, each prepared differently.
1. The house number 3650 on 21st Street in San Francisco
2. The house owners start to decorate the day before Thanksgiving. The tip of a giant pine, which reaches nearly 15 feet, decorates the Christmas star. The photograph depicted the final preparations, which took place December 13, 2011. Two days later the house was fully decorated.
3. The past 22 years residents of San Francisco, Tom Taylor and Jerry Goldstein in December each turn your house into a giant Christmas holiday village.
4. Eight assistants decorate the house with huge balls the size of the ball is for volleyball and garlands.
5. "We just used it to celebrate every Christmas … and we can no longer find different a way," says Mr. Taylor.
6. "This is something like a habit," says Mr. Taylor, pictured at left. He was echoed by Mr. Goldstein: "People are hoping that we, like magicians, we extract from arcane hats all new white rabbits."
7. Steve House Gairy in Alameda, California. The main theme of scenery is "The Nightmare Before Christmas." The house is decorated each year, it has become a tradition, which was launched in 1938. Local residents excited about unusual holiday illumination.
8. Dave Nosek of Elburna, Illinois, did not even try to compete with its neighbors, always lavishly decorate their home for Christmas. So two years ago, an insurance agent simply decorated facade of the house lined with Christmas lanterns the inscription "All the same," and an arrow pointing to a neighbor's house.
9. An unusual idea all so much that now adorns Dave Nosek his home in this way annually. "I do it because all the neighbors are already used to the fact that my house is decorated in this way," he says. The photo – Dave Nosek family and his neighbors, family Tsibalski.

Not for the first time, I'm confused. My search for a gin distillery has led me to a quiet residential street in West London. Can this really be the place? I check my dog-eared A-Z map again. Yeah, this is right: The garage in front of me — little more than a lean-to, really — is the spot.
This is the home of Sipsmith, the first copper-pot distillery to open in London in almost 200 years. This is where London's recent gin revival began.
And once the careworn blue wooden door swings open, it feels like the most natural spot on earth for a game-changing distillery. This place has serious drinking history — it once served as the great beer and whisky writer Michael Jackson's study — and there's a ramshackle charm about it that reflects its purpose.
Then there's the magnificent still, which dominates proceedings from its position at the far end of the room. Named Prudence in honor of former British prime minister Gordon Brown (who made great play of his own financial prudence before Britain's economy collapsed around him), it resembles a brass band — if that brass band had been designed by someone with a particularly surreal sense of humor. Prudence bulges and swoops and shines like the buttons on a Royal Marine's coat.
Sipsmith was established in 2009. Since then, a trickle of other distilleries, including Sacred in Highgate, a similarly leafy and unlikely spot for a ginmaker, and the recently launched City of London, have followed suit, joining the English capital's only remaining historic distiller, Beefeater. At the same time, the drink has become increasingly fashionable, forcing its way onto menus at some of the city's most popular bars and restaurants. For so long vodka's slightly dowdy cousin, gin is sexy again.
It's a great story, not least because London, home of the world's most popular gin style (London Dry), is so inextricably linked to the juniper-infused spirit. The city's residents have been knocking the drink back in varying quantities ever since the end of the 17th century, when William of Orange arrived from the Netherlands bearing muscular Protestantism and a drink called Jenever.
William's obsequious courtiers soon began drinking Jenever, and his thirsty subjects followed suit. By the middle of the 18th century, everyone was drinking gin, and plenty of people were making it: One house in every four in the City of London reputedly contained distilling equipment.
This was the era of "Gin Madness," and it didn't end well. The drink became so cheap that it represented a serious health hazard, at least if you believe William Hogarth, the British artist who produced a very famous and frequently reproduced etching called Gin Lane in 1751. The image illustrates the multitudinous ill effects of drinking gin: Most notable is the central image of a mother, her face grotesquely aged and her legs scarred due to malnutrition, who in her gin-addled stupor is allowing a child to fall from her lap to its likely death.
Things are rather more wholesome today. There's a worldwide revival in gin-making going on, including in the United States. The founders of Sipsmith, Sam Galsworthy and Fairfax Hall, were inspired by the revival in American ginmaking, Galsworthy tells me. "I used to work in the U.S., and I noticed this really exciting movement," says the 37-year-old. "We're like the American craft distillers in that yield is not our primary focus. It's about quality. It's about getting the best possible spirit out of every batch."

AJ Allmendinger and Reed Sorenson will swap crews for the remainder of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season, starting with this weekend's race at Michigan.
The Richard Petty Motorsports drivers are currently lying 24th (Allmendinger) and 29th (Sorenson) in the Cup standings, and Allmendinger says the switch should help the team to pool information and prepare for the 2010 season.
"I'm pumped about working with Mike [Shiplett] and his crew again, we went testing at Dover last week and worked really well together," he said.
"Sammy Johns and those guys did a heck of a job getting us ready to go racing right before the season and we had some really good runs. They are going to go over with Reed and we'll pool the information and improve our teams.

Today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced revenue shipments of the first processors based on its new x86 "Bulldozer" architecture. Initial production of the world's first 16-core x86 processor, codenamed "Interlagos," began in August and shipping to customers is already underway. Compatible with existing AMD Opteron 6100 Series platforms and infrastructure, "Interlagos" is expected to launch and be available in partner systems in the fourth quarter of this year. Many of the initial shipments have been earmarked for large custom supercomputer installations that are now underway. "This is a monumental moment for the industry as this first 'Bulldozer' core represents the beginning of unprecedented performance scaling for x86 CPUs," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, AMD Products Group. "The flexible new 'Bulldozer' architecture will give Web and datacenter customers the scalability they need to handle emerging cloud and virtualization workloads." For more information, visit the pages of Opteron 6000 series and Opteron 4000 series.
This is a server processor. It won't be put through SuperPi, PCMark, or other tests client processors are put through.
There should be tests which we can do to relate to the server versions of the i7 9xx and extrapolate the data. All in all, wistful thinking, but it should shut up the people guesstimating Bulldozer's performance.
What? I own a Tyan Thunder S2915 with pairs of socket F optys from K8 till K10.5... Yes... you can not overclock them (altough I was able through ntune). Not sure about SR5690 capability. But there are plenty of graphical rendering stations, that could be pulled through a benchmark an see how the architecture behaves at least on stock clock. Mothers like these - http://www.tyan.com/product_SKU_spec.aspx?ProductType=MB&pid=696&SKU=600000215 http://www.tyan.com/product_SKU_spec.aspx?ProductType=MB&pid=687&SKU=600000212
I wish these where like the old 939skt where i could drop one in to an enthusiast mobo and overclock to the moon.
haha they have them for sale at sears... http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...9x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM1972446901
So they advertise up to 16 cores... but on their promo material online it's only up to 12? It looks like the 6000 series caps out at 12, at least with this launch.
these wont be in the market until Q4: "Compatible with existing AMD OpteronTM 6100 Series platforms and infrastructure, "Interlagos" is expected to launch and be available in partner systems in the fourth quarter of this year."
Yep, all early chips are already SOLD SOLD, and are not going to retailers. Sucks for us, but good for AMD to put cash in pocket.
Congrats to AMD and JF-AMD Server guys have done their job - now you desktop guys need to get it together and release those desktop models out NOW!! It's hard to wait - we NEED it for BF3!!
If by "shut up" you mean "make them go Itolyaso" then this is definitely going to happen. AMD itself has stated that performance gain is on par with the core number increase, hence no noteworthy IPC gain over previous generation (K10.5). Extrapolate that
Client CPUs shouldn't even have to suffer the indignity of that crap. Superpi should be banned from internet. A mid 90s app that poorly does its job. PCMark is infamous for lying, and pretty much extend that to most benches ran. What a joke. However, you can't bench these server CPUs on real apps....you wouldn't want it to show them defeating xeons for a lot less cost.
Write something better. In all seriousness, server platform Optys are a far cry from the Optys that share the commercial socket. I don't really think this is going to be a good estimate of the basic consumer version of the processor most of us will be buying.
I'm pretty sure JF-AMD said they do not have plans to release desktop-based Opteron chips, but who knows what the partners will do.

Chris Elliott Movies
Chris Elliott may have been born with a funny spoon in his mouth -- he's the son of Bob Elliott, the more deadpan half of the famous comedy duo Bob and Ray -- but he's developed his own offbeat brand of humor and gained his own substantial cult following.
Elliott began his show business career as a standup comic, but he first gained public attention as a writer and performer on Late Night With David Letterman, helping that show define a new age of ironic comedy, and winning two Emmys as part of Letterman's writing team. Elliott played the sarcastic firebrand to Letterman's perturbable Midwestern reserve. He starred in sketches as the Panicky Guy, the Fugitive Guy, and the Guy Under the Seats, a character who lived in a cramped passageway underneath the audience, and would occasionally interrupt the show to chat with Letterman. As a result of Elliott's growing popularity on Late Night, his acting career took off. Or, to be more precise, he got bit parts in Michael Mann's Manhunter, James Cameron's The Abyss, and the Francis Ford Coppola segment of New York Stories.
Elliott also went on to star in two hilarious, but little-seen half-hour comedy shows for Cinemax. FDR -- A One Man Show featured Elliott playing Chris Elliott, a pompous egomaniacal actor portraying FDR in a one-man show of tremendous historical inaccuracy, while Action Family economically combined satire of TV police dramas with a satire of a typical living room family sitcom.
Around this time, Elliott published a Mommy Dearest-style mock exposé about his childhood, Daddy's Boy: A Son's Shocking Account of Life With a Famous Father, which featured chapter-by-chapter rebuttals from his father, Bob, and a foreword by David Letterman.
In 1990, Elliott, with help from talented collaborators like David Mirkin, Bob Odenkirk, and Adam Resnick, starred in a bizarrely funny sitcom, Get a Life. The character Elliott played, Chris Peterson, a 30-year-old paperboy, was not a far cry from his previous television personae. Peterson was a dimwitted, balding, doughy, sarcastic, celebrity-worshipping dolt, with a hilariously high degree of self-regard. He was an utter failure who somehow convinced himself he was doing great. Bob Elliott played Chris Peterson's father on the show. The mucky mucks at the fledgling Fox network didn't understand the show, and were hoping Peterson would be cuddlier. Elliott would later remember a network exec optimistically comparing the character to "Tom Hanks in Big." The show had disastrous ratings. Despite support from savvier TV critics, Fox gave up on the show quickly, and canceled Get a Life after two seasons. The show had gained a passionate cult following and some episodes were eventually released on DVD and syndicated briefly on the USA Network. Get a Life was later recognized for its influence on other, more successful programs, including The Simpsons and South Park.
Elliott also had key supporting roles in the smash hit Groundhog Day, opposite Bill Murray, and in the unsuccessful rap mockumentary CB4 with Chris Rock. In 1994, he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. Despite the addition of other talented comic actors (Randy Quaid, Michael McKean, and Janeane Garofalo), it was a dismal season, and Elliott was put off by the lack of collaborative spirit among some of the long-term cast members. He moved on after one season.
This was also the period of Elliott's greatest professional disappointment -- the failure of the feature film he co-wrote and starred in, Cabin Boy. His frequent collaborator Adam Resnick co-wrote the film, and, at the urging of producer Tim Burton, also directed it. Letterman makes a brief, but very funny cameo appearance. The film has developed a small cult following, particularly among devotees of Get a Life, but it was a box-office flop. While the filmmakers themselves have acknowledged that Cabin Boy fell short of their expectations, Elliott was stung by the viciousness of the reviews.
Elliott went through a creative dry spell after this, appearing in a recurring role in the Tea Leoni sitcom Flying Blind, and gaining more national visibility as a spokesman for Tostitos snack chips. He also continued making guest appearances on a variety of sitcoms.
Since then, Elliott has appeared in supporting roles in a number of silly comedies (Snow Day, sequels to The Nutty Professor, and Scary Movie) and has developed a fruitful relationship with the Farrelly brothers, appearing in Kingpin, Osmosis Jones, and, most notably, in their smash hit, There's Something About Mary. He was also heard as the voice of Dogbert on the short-lived animated series, Dilbert, and he was a regular on the appropriately named, ill-fated

The Sky Is Falling
Just how bad are things going to get for Emily Hall (Dedee Pfeiffer)? At 28, she's finally finished her first novel only to see it rejected by every publisher to whom it's submitted. However, this is small potatoes compared to her personal life. She's just broken up with her long-term boyfriend (Eric Close) who can't commit to a permanent relationship. Her best friend Amber (Laura Leighton) is moving to Mexico after being offered an acting job south of the border. And her mother (Teri Garr) has given her some very interesting news. Even though Emily has been told for years that her father is dead, it seems mother was lying and Dad is alive, well, and an aging hippie named Yogi (Howard Hessman) who wants to meet his daughter. Soon, Emily has sunk into such a deep depression that she cheers herself up by imagining her own death. Desperate to take her mind off her problems, Emily volunteers at a local hospital and makes friends with an elderly patient, Mr. Finch (Burt Remsen), who helps her to gain a new perspective on life. The Sky Is Falling features cameo appearances from Chris Elliot and Sean Astin, and was shown at the 1999 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

David Alan Basche (Carry Me Home, crazylove) stars in I'll Believe You, as Dale Sweeney, the radio host of an immensely unpopular late-night talk program on the AM dial. The only listeners whom Sweeney ever manages to drum up are nutty, half-zonked small-town denizens who want to discuss UFO sightings on the airwaves. Just prior to the final broadcast, with the program in arm's length of cancellation, Sweeney receives a strange phone call from an individual who speaks anxiously in an unintelligible language. The next morning, two federal agents turn up to question Sweeney, demonstrating heightened interest in one of the latest UFO sightings. Dale thus concludes that the caller was in fact an extraterrestrial, lost in his small town. He decides to report on the happenings during his broadcasts (which quadruples his audience size) and then bandies the locals into a collective search for the alien. Paul Francis Sullivan directs. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, the impish impresarios of gross-out comedy, take their body function-inspired humor to new extremes in this mixture of live action and animation. Bill Murray stars as Frank, a zoo worker suffering from the effects of an unknown malady he contracted after eating an egg contaminated with simian saliva. Unknown to Frank, the inside of his body is actually a city (the City of Frank) teeming with cellular life, where the mysterious illness he's fighting is an invading enemy that must be defeated at all costs. It's up to Osmosis Jones (voice of Chris Rock), a white blood cell cop, and Drix (voice of David Hyde Pierce), a rookie over-the-counter medication, to hunt down and stop a lethal virus (Laurence Fishburne) who's got an inferiority complex. Along the way, the partners visit Frank's runny nostrils (Booger Dam) and a bar called, appropriately enough, the Zit. Osmosis Jones costars Molly Shannon and Chris Elliott, and features the vocal talents of William Shatner, producer Joel Silver, and singer Brandy Norwood. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

It's the day children dream of and parents dread: a sudden snowstorm causes the cancellation of school, giving kids a day off and their folks one more thing to worry about. Snow Day traces what happens in an upstate New York town when a thick layer of white stuff forces local schools to take a day off. Fifteen-year-old Hal Brandston (Mark Webber) is crazy about Claire Bonner (Emmanuelle Chriqui), the prettiest girl in his tenth-grade class, who already has a boyfriend -- the class jock and BMOC. Will the magical powers of Snow Day give Hal a chance to win her away? Meanwhile, Hal's ten-year-old sister, Natalie (Zena Grey), is having so much fun with Snow Day that she doesn't want it to end, so she makes sure the Snow Plow Man (Chris Elliott) can't get the roads cleared before morning. Four-year-old Randy Brandston (Connor Matheus) is all cranked up and ready to enjoy life on a day with no day care -- bad news for his mom, Laura (Jean Smart), a businesswoman who has to close an important deal. And weather is a sore spot with father Tom Brandston (Chevy Chase); as the meteorologist at the lowest-rated TV station in town, he is trying in vain to get folks to pay attention to what he has to say about snow, rain, and the elements. Snow Day was produced by Nickelodeon Movies, the feature-film branch of the children's television network, and its eclectic cast also includes Pam Grier, John Schneider, and Iggy Pop. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bill Murray plays Phil, a TV weatherman working for a local station in Pennsylvania but convinced that national news stardom is in his grasp. Phil displays a charm and wit on camera that evaporates the moment the red light goes off; he is bitter, appallingly self-centered, and treats his co-workers with contempt, especially his producer Rita (Andie MacDowell) and cameraman Larry (Chris Elliot). On February 2, 1992, Phil, Rita, and Larry are sent on an assignment that Phil especially loathes: the annual Groundhog Day festivities in Punxsutawney, PA, where the citizens await the appearance of Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog who will supposedly determine the length of winter by his ability to see his own shadow. Phil is eager to beat a hasty retreat, but when a freak snowstorm strands him in Punxsutawney, he wakes up the next morning with the strangest sense of
déjà vu
: he seems to be living the same day over again. The next morning it happens again, and then again. Soon, no matter what he does, he's stuck in February 2, 1992; not imprisonment nor attempted suicide nor kidnapping the groundhog gets him out of the loop. But the more Phil relives the same day, the more he's forced to look at other people's lives, and something unusual happens: he begins to care about others. He starts to respect people, he tries to save the life of a homeless man, and he discovers that he's falling in love with Rita and therefore wants to be someone that she could love in return. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The omnibus film New York Stories is the product of three powerhouse filmmakers. The film is divided into three stories, each exploring a different aspect of life in the Big Apple. Life Lessons, directed by Martin Scorcese, is a Dostoevsky-like tale of the rarefied Art World, with Nick Nolte as a self-indulgent abstractionist who loves Rosanna Arquette, but can't bring himself to lie to her about her negligible artistic talents. Life Without Zoe, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is more than a little reminiscent of Kay Thompson's Eloise stories, with 12-year-old Zoe (Heather McComb) running amok at the Sherry-Netherland hotel while her parents are embarked upon a world-girdling vacation. The last and is Woody Allen's Oedipus Wrecks, wherein a schnooky lawyer (guess who?) inadvertently "creates" the Jewish Mother From Hell: thanks to a misguided magic trick, Allen's mama (the incomparable Mae Questel) becomes a huge spectral vision on the New York skyline, telling everyone within earshot about her son's inadequacies. The cinematographer lineup on New York Stories includes Nestor Almendros, Vittorio Storaro and Sven Nykvist. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Former NBC intern and Get a Life creator Chris Elliott stars as the title character, a recent graduate of the exclusive Fancy Lad Academy who unwittingly boards the wrong sea vessel and ends up a whipping post for its gruff, foul-mouthed crew after his predecessor (Andy Richter of The Late Show) falls overboard. Over the course of their adventures, Elliot eventually earns the respect of the crew as he also earns his manhood. This supremely silly film features sight gags and tastelessness galore, including a love scene with a woman who's all hands -- literally. Elliot's old boss David Letterman appears in an amusing unbilled cameo as a sarcastic villager in port. In all, Cabin Boy works much in the same vein as Elliot's former TV show; a crass sense of humor is helpful for full appreciation. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

The crew of an experimental, high-tech submersible is called into action to investigate a mysterious nuclear submarine crash. A series of strange encounters leads the crew to suspect the accident was caused by an extraterrestrial craft, and that they may be participating in an encounter with an alien species. However, in order to make contact, they must not only brave the abyss, an exceedingly deep underwater canyon, but also deal with the violent actions of one of their own crew members, an increasingly paranoid Navy SEAL officer. Approved by director James Cameron, The Abyss: Special Edition is an extended director's cut of the 1989 underwater science fiction epic, reinstating nearly a half hour of footage removed from the original release under studio pressure. Much of the restored footage places the film's events in a grander political context, as the crew's mission becomes a factor in the dangerous escalation of nuclear tension between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The largest change involves the film's ending, which provides further information on the aliens' mission on Earth, bringing the film to closer to Cameron's intention: a modern remake of Robert Wise's The Day the Earth Stood Still. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Although many of the first film's main characters were homicide victims, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Anna Faris return anyway to "re-possess" their roles for this follow-up in which four students are invited by their professor (Tim Curry) to his haunted mansion, Hell House, for a weekend sleep-deprivation study. Providing the sleep deprivation, however, is a series of murderous, supernatural goings-on.

The Farrelly Brothers set this romantic comedy in their home state of Rhode Island. In 1985, when teen-nerd Ted Stroehmann (Ben Stiller) challenges a high-schooler who's bullying retarded Warren Jenson (W. Earl Brown), his concern prompts Warren's sister, the dazzling and desirable Mary Jenson (Cameron Diaz) to choose Ted as her senior prom date, a fact Ted's pals find hard to believe. However, on prom night, Ted gets his penis caught in his zipper, so the much-desired date never happens. Living in Providence and waxing nostalgic 13 years later, Ted hires Pat Healy (Matt Dillon) to locate Mary, and the creepy private investigator finds her in Miami, where she lives with her tan-shriveled roommate Magda (Lin Shaye). After Pat develops a stalker-style fixation on the lovely, unattached Mary, he lies to Ted, telling him that she's now an overweight mother confined to a wheelchair. Employing professional eavesdropping equipment, Pat gathers a dossier on Mary's life and future plans, information that forms the basis for more lies when Pat begins dating her. Sure enough, Mary falls for Pat, although her friend Tucker (Lee Evans) is very suspicious of Pat's claim to be a Harvard-educated architect. Meanwhile, Ted learns the truth but continues to encounter offbeat obstacles as he accelerates to Miami in hopes of finding happiness with his true love. Former Modern Lovers singer Jonathan Richman vocalizes a narrative ballad of onscreen commentary in the Cat Ballou (1965) tradition. Most of the cast sings and frolics to Build Me Up, Buttercup by The Foundations during the closing credits. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

In the '70s, Roy Munsen (Woody Harrelson) was a bowling phenomenon. He was none too sharp about picking friends, though, and the champion he had to beat, "Big Ern," takes him under his supposedly friendly wing. Big Ern (Bill Murray) shows him the high-living lifestyle, and induces him to go on the road with him, hustling small-town bowlers. A couple of the men he bilks take exception to the scam, and show their displeasure with Roy by mangling his hand. Twenty years later, Roy (who now has a hook in place of his hand), earns his living as a salesman. On a visit to a bowling alley, he cannot help but notice the incredible talents of an Amish boy, Ishmael (Randy Quaid). Bowling is not part of the Amish lifestyle, but Ishmael occasionally sneaks into the bowling alley and plays a frame or two. Roy takes Ishmael under his wing, and together they begin a quest for bowling success. This comedy is directed by Peter and Robert Farrelly, who also directed Dumb and Dumber. Like those comedies, it contains a lot of gross-out jokes and bathroom humor. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Comedian Chris Rock stars in this scattershot satire of rap music in the vein of This Is Spinal Tap. This film within a film begins with A. White (Chris Elliot) screening a rough cut of a documentary he has made of the notorious CB4 rap group -- consisting of group leader Albert, also know as MC Gusto (Chris Rock); Otis, also known as Stab Master Arson (Deezer D); and Euripides, also know as Dead Mike (Allen Payne). White charts the course of CB4's success, their superstar status a result of the fact that they are the only gangsta rap group who are, in fact, actual gangsters, coming direct from rap sheets to rap music. They are considered so bad that they even give rapper Ice-T pause: "I thought I was hardcore. But these guys are serious! What am I supposed to do now?" Unfortunately, at the height of their fame, their gangster pose is revealed to be a sham. Albert, Otis, and Euripides turn out to be a bunch of middle-class blacks striking a gangsta facade to look cool. But now they are in trouble. The real Gusto (Charlie Murphy), a neighborhood thug who went to prison on a drug bust, has broken out of jail and is coming for CB4. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Red Dragon, the Thomas Harris novel that introduced serial killer Hannibal Lecter to the world, was adapted for the screen by Michael Mann as Manhunter. Ace criminal profiler Will Graham (William Petersen) is very good at his job because he has the ability to make himself think like the killers he tracks. Will has been in retirement since catching Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter (Brian Cox), as being inside that particular deranged mind caused Will to have a breakdown. Will's boss Jack Crawford (Dennis Farina visits Will at his home, showing him pictures from a murder scene and asking for his help in catching a new killer they have dubbed "the Tooth Fairy" (Tom Noonan). In order to test his mental strength, Will visits Hannibal in his prison cell. Adding to the already substantial mental stress Will experiences when he returns to the job are nosy tabloid reporter Freddy Lounds (Stephen Lang), as well as Hannibal's attempts at seeking revenge through the Tooth Fairy. After two additional films that featured Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal) became box-office blockbusters, Manhunter was re-made as Red Dragon starring Hopkins and Edward Norton as Will Graham. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

After helping to kick-start the independent film movement in America with The Return of the Secaucus Seven, John Sayles wrote, directed, and edited his second feature, about a woman who finds herself staring life over after coming out of the closet as a lesbian. Lianna (Linda Griffiths) is a woman in her early thirties who's married to Dick (Jon DeVries), who teaches film at a college in Boston. Lianna first met Dick when she was a student in his class, and while she's grown more assertive and independent with time, Dick has become bitter and difficult, though he tries to be patient with their two children, Spencer (Jesse Solomon) and Theda (Jessica Wight MacDonald). Lianna, who dropped out of college when she married Dick, has begun taking classes again, and strikes up a close friendship with one of her professors, Ruth (Jane Hallaren); Dick, however, would prefer that she spend her time helping him with research on his upcoming thesis. When Lianna discovers Dick has been having an affair with one of his students, she begins to wonder about her future with him as well as her own feelings, and one evening, after dinner and conversation with Ruth, Lianna discovers her new friend has romantic feelings toward her -- and that she feels the same way toward Ruth. When Lianna confronts Dick with the news of her relationship with Ruth, he's livid and makes her leave the house, forcing her to start a new life for herself as she comes to terms with her own sexuality. Comic actor Chris Elliott makes his screen debut in Lianna in a small role as a lighting technician for a dance troupe. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
