The Irish American fund is increasing its efforts to support more than 300 initiatives across Ireland during the economic crisis, with the aim to raise $1m a month.
The Promising Ireland fund was launched with the initial goal of raising $100m at the beginning of the year. However, according to Kieran McLoughlin, president and chief executive of American Ireland, the response was so great that the fund has increased the target to $140m.
"As of this [Friday] morning we've agreed a new goal for Dec 2013," he said, according to the Irish Examiner.
"The new goal of $140m requires us to raise $1m a month, every month for the next 18 months. Our money is privately sourced so that is philanthropic giving from donors across the world. Not a penny of public money is in there."
The new Promising Ireland fund would account for nearly 30% of the $432m the fund has raised for Irish projects since it was founded in 1976, according to McLoughlin.
"In other words, over a quarter of our entire income has been raised in a 10th of our history. Already the Promising Ireland campaign has provided support to more than 350 charities in Ireland," he said.
According to The Irish American Fund's Catriona Fottrell, the need from charities has increased as the recession hits public funds with the number of applicants increasing from 600 in 2011 to 1,000 this year so far.

The Guardian reported around a day ago that:
Two leading Westminster civil liberties campaigners, David Davis and Tom Watson, are to mount a high court legal challenge to the government's new "emergency" surveillance law, which was rushed through parliament last week.
The application for a judicial review of the new legislation, which was passed with support from the three main parties, is to be mounted by the human rights organisation Liberty on behalf of the two backbench MPs.
However, David Allen Green notes on Twitter that:
I understand the @libertyhq challenge to #DRIP is actually only to section 1 – and *not* the entire Act: https://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/news/press-releases/liberty-represents-mps-david-davis-and-tom-watson-legal-challenge-government%E2%80%99s- …
In other words, despite the news coverage, the Tom Watson/David Davis legal challenge is not to entire #DRIP Act but to one section of it,
It appears not one of the news reports on Davis/Watson legal challenge have noted that the challenge is not actually to entire #DRIP Act.
Meanwhile, yesterday I suggested that:
It's a mistake to start by protesting about the content of #DRIP – far more important, and firstly, the really shocking part was process.
I'd love to have the money to take political leaders to court for undermining democracy, process and procedure. #DRIP
Truth is, whilst Gaza, Ukraine and other awful parts of the news have occupied the front pages over the past two weeks or so, and whilst Labour cheerleaders are happy to leave their human rights credentials to the dustbin of history, passing quickly onto other far more important issues such as internal Party unity, a serious matter is clearly not being fully aired here. As I said in a previous post (the bold is mine today):
#DRIP, as a process, for me, is just one drop too far. Politics, if it is anything meaningful in liberal society, is process. But if the process is no longer liberal, the society is just bald dictatorship. And that is precisely what we are getting here. Government diktat in the absence of proper scrutiny:
And when even committed libertarians (libertarians in their own ways, that is true – but libertarians all the same) such as Watson and Davis limit themselves to challenging only a part of the result of dictatorship – obviating a rigorous analysis of the process they participated in (even if unwillingly, I am sure) – then the bald dictatorship I talk of is not just beginning to kick in: clearly, in an ultimate analysis, it is simply proceeding to re-establish itself.
Make no mistake about it, dear readers: this is a full-throated attack on the integrity of democratic communication, dialogue and consensus. We need to see it as such; we need to deal with it as such; we need to understand that from the so-called #gaggingbill onwards, the final intentions of the political elite – not just the Coalition I insist; not just the Tories or the Lib Dems – is to revert all political activity into the ever-developing injustice that is parliamentary procedure.
From the immorality of Thatcher's times to the hand-holding hand-in-glove behaviours of our latterday political elite, it's time we started shouting from the rooftops of all our democracies: "STOP NAYSAYING OUR
For that, exactly that, is what they are doing. And that, exactly that, is what they now need to step back from.

Several members of the Charlottesville Church of Christ say they are still shocked by Friday's fire that destroyed part of their building.may have destroyed their building, but not their church.
"It's depressing, but it's not discouraging to us," said Bishop Rufus Hayes of Charlottesville Church of Christ.
Bishop Hayes says the building may be partly destroyed, but the church is stronger than ever
"The church is in the people, and the church is the faith that they have in Jesus Christ," said Bishop Hayes. "It's just another experience in life that we have in any life, whether it's religious or personal. The best people think bad things happen
"This is just another experience we have in life whether it's religious or personal," said Bishop Hayes. "The best people think bad things happen, but it doesn't discourage them if.... they have a vision."
It's a vision that Henry Marshall from Maryland came to Charlottesville to be apart of. He says that he's taking pictures to remember what the church has gone through, to later celebrate where the church is going.
"These photographs will prove that the building actually was set afire, and then once we have completed the rebuilding we want to see the glory of it," said Marshall.
A vision that's not unfamiliar to members of Charlottesville Church of Christ.
"Before we were here there were nothing but rocks and God built this edifice and I know he can do it again," said Bishop Hayes.
Bishop Hayes said they are all really working hard to make sure that they can get everything finished so that they can move back into the sanctuary as soon as possible. He said that the main sanctuary wasn't badly damaged, and that is what they are concentrating on fixing at this time, so that they can start having services again as early as next week.
Sunday's services for Charlottesville Church of Christ are schedule to be held at Buford Middle School. Sunday school starts at 10 a.m. Services will begin between 11:30 and noon.

4 injured in Navy helicopter 'hard landing': Crash reported at North Island Naval Air Station
Service members taken to area hospitals
CORONADO, Calif. - Four crew members were injured after the Navy helicopter they were in made a hard landing at North Island Naval Air Station in Coronado, according to military officials.
The crew from HSM-75 declared an in-flight emergency Wednesday night and landed at the base at about 11 p.m., military officials said.
"The four were taken to two local hospitals and are listed in stable condition," said Lt. Aaron Kakiel, a public affairs officer for Naval Air Forces, Pacific.
Officials said in a release that the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter was taking part in routine training at the station in San Diego County prior to the incident.
Officials said two of the crew members were taken to UC San Diego Medical Center and the other two were taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital.
With any military aircraft incident, a mishap board will be created to examine every detail of the accident.
"They will be looking at maintenance logs, training of the crew, the mission brief, every aspect of the flight that day," said Jim Kidrick, director of the Air and Space Museum in Balboa Park and a former Naval aviator.
That investigation is done confidentially, according to Kidrick, so that all parties involved are encouraged to be honest about what happened.
The goal is to ensure the safety of other air crews.

What are the signs of infection for people who have bed sores?
People with advanced bed sores (stage 3 or stage 4) are particularly susceptible to developing infection– both in the wound itself and potentially systematically. In order to minimize risk of infection, care should be taken to keep the wound clean and dry. Dressings should be changed on a regular basis as ordered by a treating physician.
The following may indicate infection within the wound itself:
- Increased pain in the wound
- Edema (swelling)
- Reddening of the wound (erythema)
- Increased fluid accumulation
- Heat in the wound area
- Unusual smell
Occasionally, an infection that originates in the wound itself, can spread throughout the entire body. These situations can pose a significant health risk to the individual. Signs of systematic infection include:
- Elevated white blood cell count
- Elevated body temperature
- Cellulitis (skin infection)
- Osteomyelitis (bone infection)
Because infection is a frequent complication for people with bed sores, physicians and other medical professionals should make the monitoring of existing wounds a priority. Wounds should be documented and photographed to assist in the evaluation of woulds as they heal.
If you have an existing bed sore and have any of the above conditions, contact your medical professional immediately.

Inorganic arsenic, the form most likely to cause cancer, occurs naturally in the earth and is released into ground water that travels through rocks and soil. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) limits the amount of trace arsenic allowable in drinking water to 10 parts per billion (ppb).
However, arsenic has also been found in other drinks and foods, for which no safety limit has been set, raising concerns about overexposure through the diet.
Juices and Foods Tainted with Arsenic
This past summer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a "voluntary suspension" of the arsenic-laced drug Roxarsone, which has been widely used on chickens raised in CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations) to control an intestinal parasite.
More recently, an investigation into arsenic and lead levels in apple- and grape juice prompted Consumer Reports to call for government standards to limit consumer exposure.
Ten percent of the 88 juice samples tested by Consumer Reports had arsenic levels exceeding the U.S. federal drinking-water standard. A quarter of them also had lead levels higher than the 5 ppb limit set for bottled water.

Payback time for Ofcom on incoming call charges
The UK's competition commission has ruled that regulator Ofcom got the termination rates for mobile calls wrong, while the Competition Appeals Tribunal has decided that such mistakes should be acknowledged retrospectively. Ofcom caps the average rate that mobile operators charge for incoming phone calls - the termination rate - …
A welcome surprise
It's a shock to see BT actually arguing to *lower* the costs imposed on us by telcos, for once; sadly, less of a shock to see Ofcom trying to keep them up. Even 4.4p/min is ridiculously expensive (more than an order of magnitude higher than BT and Virgin get for calls to landlines, for example), but a step in the right direction at least - and a far cry from the double-digit ripoff of recent years.
Ultimately, I want to see phone calls handled like Internet traffic with peering: the telcos just agree some points where they'll plug each other's networks together, traffic flows across that point, the end. Vodafone pays for Vodafone's network, BT pays for BT's. No, that will NOT "force" any of them to start charging for incoming calls, any more than BT charges us for incoming calls now (or indeed most outgoing calls): it can just be lumped in with line rental except for PAYG.
They're going to have to drop pretty damned quickly for 3 which currently stand at 20p per minute for me compared to 9.5p per minute for all other operators. Which is why I never phone anyone on 3 because it seems bloody stupid that I can phone places on the other side of the world for less per minute (Australia for just over 8ppm ) than I can phone someone who might be in the next street.
call me cynical
"BT complained that Ofcom based its figures on the amount the operators paid for their 3G licences, rather than what they're actually worth"
but surely they are worth, whatever someone was actually willing to pay for them, there's not much of a second hand trade in 3g licences.
A welcome surprise
@ James. It's quite amazing given how much information is now available on this topic that people still keep comparing the mobile networks to the fixed networks when it comes to termination rates
The mobile networks have had to build out networks comparable to the fixed networks and then some, unless you can show me where BT's nationwide network of radio masts, remote base stations and power supplies are located all eating up significant capital and operational costs on an annual basis.
Or to put it another way BT only has to connect to all the homes and offices in the UK whereas the mobile operators cover that and all the spaces in between.
Then you need to consider that the mobile operators have had to achieve this in a far shorter timescale than the fixed networks and you start to realise why the mobile operators are entitled to a termination rate higher than that achieved by the fixed operators.
And that is what has happened, the CC and CAT have agreed that this is the case and determined the rates which happen to be lower than those determined by OFCOM. Some won't be happy, others will but for certain it will be a long time before parity is reached between the mobile and fixed operators.
Free to USA "cell" phones"
So, how come it still costs us this termination fee? On my UK Sky landline package, I can call a land line OR cell phone in the USA for free, yet off peak calls to a UK mobile are about 5.5p per minute.
Something doesn't seem right there.
@"they are worth, whatever someone was actually willing to pay for them"
So somebody who pays £10,000 for a car and discovers it is full of rust, engine is seized up, the roof leaks and the wheels are square can nevertheless take comfort that the car really IS worth £10,000 -- because the idiot was willing to pay it.
I don't think so. Its worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it TODAY, not what somebody was willing to pay for it yesterday.
@Jon H re.USA Cell phones
But in the USA as in many places mobile users pay by the minute to receive mobile a call so the person you are calling is paying the termination charge.
Do you fancy that? I don't, though it would give me justification for swearing at cold sales calls! Which would increase!
Its all rather academic
This has gone on for so long, its given all opertaors the time to enhance thie rip-off contract rates to re-coup any costs before they are enforced.
The current costs are just bloody ridiculous for a private user.
Contracts have tripled in monthly rental -for the same service and free minutes
I got when I paid £12 a month. Now they want £30 -£35

One reason that babies get a lot of colds is that their immune systems are immature, making them more vulnerable to illness. In addition, more than 200 different viruses cause the common cold and your child is developing immunity to them one at a time. Think of all the colds you've had in your lifetime. Your baby would have to get all of those – and more – to be immune to all cold viruses.
As your baby grows, he's likely to be exploring a lot and touching (and licking!) everything, so it's easy for him to pick up a cold virus on his hands. Then all he has to do is put his fingers in his mouth or nose or rub his eyes, and the virus will get a chance to set up shop.
Your baby may get sick more often during the fall and winter months because cold air and indoor heating dry out his nasal membranes, making it easier for a cold virus to get a foothold there. He also spends more time during cold weather cooped up indoors, where viruses can spread more easily from one person to another.
Most children average between six and ten colds per year. In families with children in daycare or school, the number of colds can reach 12 per year! (The average adult gets two to four colds annually.)
It can be tricky. If your baby has a cold, she might have a runny nose with clear mucus that may thicken and turn gray or yellow or green over the next week or so. She might have a cough or a low-grade fever.
If your baby is running a fever, watch her when her fever comes down. If she plays and eats normally (or almost normally – she might eat a bit less and drag a little), then it's probably a cold. If she acts ill even when her temperature drops, though, she may have something more serious than a cold.
Also, a flu or other illness is more likely to have an abrupt onset, and is more likely to be accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting. On the other hand, if congestion or coughing shows up before any fever, it's more likely that your child has a cold.
Itchy, watery eyes and nose are hallmarks of an allergy, as are repeated sneezing attacks and itchy skin that lasts for weeks or months. Also, the mucus coming out of your baby's nose will continue to run clear, rather than thickening and turning yellow or green as it tends to in children with colds. Allergies won't cause your child to run a fever.
No medicine will make a virus go away faster, but you can help your baby feel better and prevent the infection from getting worse by making sure he gets plenty of rest and liquids. For babies under 4 months, that means breast milk or formula. At 4 months your baby can also have a little water, and at 6 months he can start drinking juices.
Since most children can't master nose blowing until about age 4, here are a few ways to help ease your baby's congestion.
Use saline and suction. Tip your baby's head back and squeeze over-the-counter saline (salt water) drops into his nostrils to loosen up the mucus. Then suction out the liquid and mucus a few minutes later with a rubber bulb syringe or nasal aspirator.
If your baby is having trouble nursing with a stuffy nose, try this tactic about 15 minutes before a feeding. He'll then be able to breathe and suck at the same time.
Moisten the air. Use a humidifier or a cool-mist vaporizer to moisten the air in your baby's room. Or take your baby into the bathroom with you, turn on the hot water, close the door, and sit in the steamy room for about 15 minutes. A warm bath can accomplish the same thing.
Your baby may sleep better in a car seat in a semi-upright position, and this is probably okay for a few hours during the day. But experts generally don't recommend letting your baby sleep in a car seat, bouncy seat, or swing – even strapped in – because these products have not been studied for that purpose. They may have padding or inserts that pose a suffocation risk, and the baby could move enough to flip a car seat over when it's not installed in a car.
Never use a pillow or a sleep positioner to prop up your baby since they could cause your baby to suffocate. And don't put anything under the legs of the crib because that could make it unstable.
Most experts say no. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises doctors to tell their patients that OTC cough and cold medicines aren't effective in children younger than 6 and can sometimes have dangerous side effects. You may want to ask your child's doctor what he suggests.
Keep in mind that cough and cold medications won't shorten the course of your child's cold or prevent further complications such as ear infections or sinus infections.
If your baby is feverish, ask your doctor about giving her infant acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Never give your baby aspirin as it makes her more susceptible to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.
Adding a few drops of menthol, eucalyptus, or pine oil to a vaporizer or bath may help your baby feel less congested, says Kathi Kemper, professor of pediatrics, public health sciences, and family medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and author of The Holistic Pediatrician. (You can get these oils at most natural food stores.) If your baby is at least 6 months old, a weak, lukewarm solution of chamomile tea can also be soothing.
For more safe ways to soothe your baby's symptoms, see our article on home remedies that really help.
A word of warning: Never use the Chinese herb ma huang, also known as ephedra or ephedrine, an herbal decongestant. Its potency can vary widely, and the Food and Drug Administration has linked it to bad reactions in adults, including high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, seizures, heart attack, and stroke. Always talk to your doctor before giving your baby any kind of medicine, conventional or otherwise.
If your child is younger than 3 months, you should call the doctor at the first sign of illness, particularly if your baby has a fever higher than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (taken rectally) or a cough.
If your baby is between 3 and 6 months, the doctor may want you to call if her temperature reaches 101 degrees F, and if she's over 6 months, 103 degrees F. (Ask your baby's doctor for her guidelines.)
No matter what your baby's age, call if you notice any of the following:
You can't prevent every cold, but there are things you can do to minimize your baby's exposure and boost his defenses. For starters, make sure family members and friends wash their hands before picking up your baby (this is particularly important around newborns, who are even more susceptible to illness than 1- or 2-month-old babies).
To the extent you can, keep your baby away from sick children or adults. They'll understand if you ask them to postpone a visit until they're not contagious.
Keep in mind that babies in daycare get more colds than those kept at home simply because they're exposed to more kids and, hence, more germs. Make sure your childcare provider is conscientious about washing her hands. And make sure you wash up, too – especially after changing diapers and before preparing food.
Keep your baby well hydrated. Again, for babies under 4 months this means making sure they continue their normal breast- or formula-feeding routine. After that age, you can give your baby a little water as well, and at 6 months you can introduce your baby to juice. If your baby is hydrated, he should be wetting at least five or six diapers a day.
Secondhand smoke can put your baby at higher risk for upper respiratory problems, so stay clear of cigarette smokers and keep your baby away from areas where someone has been smoking. Children who live with cigarette smokers have more colds and their colds last longer than those of children who aren't exposed to smoke.
Finally, breastfeed for as long as you can. (The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for a year to reap the health benefits of breast milk.) Although it's not a fail-safe guard against infection, studies have shown that breastfed babies get sick less often than their formula-fed peers because the antibodies in breast milk protect against a host of germs.

Date, time and coverage: Wednesday 30 January, 20:00 GMT. The match, a sell-out, will not be broadcast live on UK television. You can follow the action live via ManUtd.com's radio and text commentary.
Form guide: United are on an 11-game unbeaten streak and looked constantly menacing during the weekend's resounding FA Cup win over Fulham. The Reds have also won the last seven games against Southampton, including this season's 3-2 thriller at St Mary's. The Saints arrive at Old Trafford in better shape than you may think: they've lost just once in their last seven games, although five of those fixtures ended in draws.
Betting: Despite Southampton's promising recent form, bwin make the south-coast side 21/2 to win at Old Trafford. Bookies are offering just 1/5 on a Reds win, with the draw priced at 23/4.
Ins and outs: United came through the weekend unscathed and there's good news for Nick Powell fans, as the youngster has resumed training following a recent knock. This match will probably come too soon for both Ashley Young (knee) and Jonny Evans (hamstring), however. Southampton will sweat on the fitness of Adam Lallana, while striker Guilhermo do Prado and defender Jose Fonte are almost certain to miss the clash. All three players have been out with knee injuries.
Last meeting: Southampton were in dreamland back in September when they took a two-goal lead at St Mary's. But along came Robin van Persie to rescue the Reds with a superb hat-trick, including a 90th-minute winner. Bizarrely, though, the Dutchman wasn't even the best player on the pitch that day. That honour went to Paul Scholes, who pulled all the strings

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014Most every aspect of our experience was A #1, especially the service by Meaghan. Unfortunately the veal was a bit tough which caused me to chew a bit more than was desirable. We will go again, maybe even New Year's Eve, but I will avoid the veal. Roger MooreSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local FavoriteVenueFinderDined on 11/8/2014Great food, friendly staff, small venue. Noise was more of a distraction than in past visits (we dine here once a month), but due to several big tables being served at the same time. Reservations are a must and difficult to get! BYOB. See you there!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thursday DinnerwineanddineVIPDined on 11/6/2014It was quite a delicious combination of foods. The Portobello mushroom soup and the chicken con fico were both outstanding! The restaurant was full up, but the overall quality of the food and the service was still up to their usually high standards.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VERYGOODOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/1/2014As usual, very good! I like it as a special place for celebrating birthdays and other momentous occasions. The evening was understandably noisier than usual because there was a group of about 20 people apparently having a good time. Not really objectionable, but it was difficult to have a conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply DeliciouswhycookVIPDined on 10/29/2014We have been to Vidalia many times. It never disappoints.Special Features:
- not badscotchontherocksVIPDined on 10/22/2014The dishes tend to have heavy sauces. Some like this. I like things lighter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/9/2014The Specials offered for the night never, NEVER disappoint. Especially the Duck entrees....the Chef knows how to cook duck to perfection!!! Been diners there for years & have enjoyed every aspect Vidalia offersSpecial Features:
- Thurday DinnerwineanddineVIPDined on 10/9/2014This was a very nice evening for dining outside (as the evenings for doing this are quickly dwindling) and everything was up to the usually high standards. One can feel lucky to have so many nice BYOB restaurants in one's immediate area, and Vidalia should be numbered among the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Choice2theboneDined on 10/9/2014We hosted a farewell/retirement luncheon for a colleague at Vidalia's. It was a beautiful fall afternoon and we were seated in the outdoor patio dining area. The menu and daily specials were well planned, leaving everyone in our party delighted with their selections. The mozzarella app melted in your mouth, as did the stuffed mushrooms. The soups are consistently good. The generously portioned mediterrean (with crab & shrimp) and california salads were excellent. The eggplant and the rigatoni vodka did not disappoint. Ample free parking is a plus!Special Features:
- Vidalia Restaurant, Outstanding!VCVGDined on 10/3/2014Our son & daughter in law gave us a gift certificate at Christmas 2013 and wish we had gone sooner. The dining there and the food just outstanding! The prices were very reasonable for the excellent choices. We will return to try the pasta dishes which sound very nice & seeing other tables ordering some of the dishes, we will be back! The chef certainly knows how to cook just in a perfect way and a nice way to present his dishes when the server brings your meal. The service was quick and very attentive to our table with everything we would need. Our water glasses were kept filled as well. Just an excellent restaurant! It is also a BYOB which is a way to keep the prices lower as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb diningPleasedVIPDined on 10/1/2014The restaurant is consistent in the service and excellent quality of food. The chef prepared an tasty Osso Buco accompanied by Tomato Risotto. The meat was tender and the sauce delish. As a BYOB restaurant the pricing is far and worth the trip to the Village of Lawrenceville.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SpecialJackDined on 9/28/2014The food was first rate. I loved it, would recommend to my friends, and would go back soon and often. The Food was very good and service was attentive without being overbearing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingDukeVIPDined on 9/21/2014Great food, excellent service. A must try resturant. We now be a regular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All Round Excellence!wineanddineVIPDined on 9/18/2014A perfect, late summer evening paired with the usual, well-prepared food and attentive, well-paced service. To say anything more would be pointless.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014As afisherman and cook, I enjoy all types of seafood and will order it often at restaurants. This was the best piece of fish I have ever ordered outSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent place for lunch or dinnerGreenVIPDined on 9/14/2014It was always OK but it has enhanced the food and has lots of energy. It was crowded during midweek, one sign of improvements. And, it's a BYO. Check it out.Special Features:
- Nice little place w personal touchOnceawaiterDined on 9/13/2014Charming little restaurant with a friendly staff. Chef came to our table twice, first to welcome us, ask about any food or spice allergies, and offer to modify dishes, then to check on how we liked our meals. Beautifully presented and tasty beet salad. Hearty lasagna. We were there early on a Saturday night. Small dining room grew a bit crowded and a little noisier than we would have liked for a romantic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous food & outdoor dining!SharonDined on 9/11/2014We had the good fortune to dine al fresco on a beautiful evening at Vidalia. The ambiance was fabulous only to be outdone by our delicious meals. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The servers were attentive and welcoming. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Great Food & Great service !DeekoDined on 9/5/2014We have always enjoyed our meals at Vidalia! Chef / owner Salvatore is an inspired chef! It's always a treat to try his specials! The food being awesome and service being good ... It's worth going there!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodFPSoldgynieDined on 9/5/2014It was delightful. A splendid late Summer night and great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday DinnerwineanddineVIPDined on 9/5/2014Brought a friend to dinner and everything was perfect. Despite having to move inside when a brief storm came up, it was all a memorable occasion from the shared starter to our individual entrees, and, of course, the always outstanding service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinner ruined by noise levelNJGrandmaVIPDined on 9/5/2014We love Vidalia---have been twice and will return. However, this last time was unbearable noise-wise. There was a large party and the room is very small. We were told the party was to be outside but the weather was not pleasant so they were inside. The noise level was miserable---not just "energetic." We could not even talk to each other. It is too bad because we were looking forward to a great dinner and the food was excellent. However, we could not leave soon enough. The owner was very apologetic and offered free dessert and coffee but we were eager to find some quiet. We will definitely check to see if there is a large group before we make the next reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding GemmarkDined on 8/31/2014I found this establishment on the internet and turned out to be one of the best restaurants that we have ever visited. Food and service was extraordinary outstanding!! And we enjoyed BYOB too. If I could, I would give it 6 stars. Too bad it is so far from home; 45 minutes... but we will be back! MarkSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- little hidden gemaquarianzDined on 8/29/2014Our first time there was when 10 of us went to celebrate a birthday. Made reservations after reading reviews and looking at their menu. Had never heard about it so was a little skeptical but was pleasantly surprised with a small, personal feeling place, and beautiful ambiance of outdoor seating with lights, great friendly service and good food. Everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. It's byob which worked perfect for our large group. The entree prices are $30 on avg, which was ok. Will definitely return for a date night or another birthday celebration. To get that 5th star...The only thing missing is live music... Maybe someone singing and playing piano or guitar...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- italian food the right way!Messina1Dined on 8/28/2014Best Italian restaurant in a 50 mile radius. BYOB. Specials are over the top. Only place left that knows how to prepare a crispy duck as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining at VidaliaLizHDined on 8/26/2014The chef took the trouble to redo a duck dish, which turned out to be perfect. It was worth the wait. Service was very attentive and friendly. Lovely ambiance on outdoor terrace.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant, tasty but expensivebudgetgourmetDined on 8/26/2014The garden dining is beautiful. The food selection is excellent. Service is good. Food is excellent in quality and presentation. Portions are smaller than I would expect but adequate. The prices are consistent with the area but the specials that we ordered were definitely over priced. We did not inquire as to the cost before ordering and were shocked at the bill. I would definitely dine at Vidalia's in the future but would surely ask prices before ordering to ensure that the bill was not a total shock again!!!!!Special Features:
- A Favorite Place to DinefoodforjoyDined on 8/26/2014Whenever I bring friends to Vidalia's for lunch, I get lots of credit for my choice of restaurant. Actually, it's Chef Sal and his staff that deserve the kudos. The food, service and ambiance (inside or outside) are very satisfying.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerwineanddineVIPDined on 8/21/2014The dinner was outstanding from the soup to the chicken scarpariello. First class food and service, as usual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious as always!missylrpVIPDined on 8/20/2014This is our favorite place in the area. Always great service and food never disappoints. We sat on the patio on a beautiful, cool summer evening and were immediately greeted by our server. Without missing a beat, the water glasses were filled, wine opened and warm bread arrived. They obviously train their wait staff well and care about fine service. We asked for dishes prepared w/ some substitutions and it was no problem. Only issue is the inside is very small and can fill up quickly so it's difficult to go last minute. We also missed seeing Salvatore the owner/chef who usually visits each table. It was busy so he needed to stay in the kitchen. We wanted to tell him dinner was delicious as always.Special Features:
- Service hurt the experienceMikeDined on 8/16/2014Our order was lost when it went into the kitchen. After the table (next to us) that arrived after us was served their appetizers first by the same server something should have gone off on his head, but it didn't. He didn't pay much attention and we asked another waitress to find our server and food. It was obvious he never put the order in. He (Logan) actually never came back to our table the rest of the evening. The chef did come out and apologize for the lost order. I expected a comped desert or come back invite and we will make it better but it was not to be. Ashame because the food really is good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentMTnestDined on 8/16/2014We had an amazing meal here. Starting with the buttery, garlicky, crunchy warm garlic bread, to the special sausage-stuffed vidalia onion appetizer, then chopped beet salad, Osso Buco and Veal Parm entrees. Raspberry Tiramisu and Creme Brulee pie for dessert. Everything was perfect and delicious. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:
- Vidalia is a hidden gemGigglesDined on 8/10/2014The food and service were worth the trip. The shrimp wrapped in bacon made so flavorful by the sauce needed to be soaked up by the delicious garlic bread. The lamb, duck, and pork shank were so tender that a knife was barely needed. Desserts were homemade and filled the sweet requirement. Bring friends; this place is worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Alfresco Fine @ VidaliaMyOhBMIDined on 8/9/2014Bottle service for this BYOB was excellent. Servers could not be nicer or kinder. Specials were numerous and clearly involved constructions. My onion soup was the best I've had on two continents: tangy cheese and a delightful sweetness. My wife's Vidalia onion special was the hit of her night - gotta get it when it's there! My veal with figs was a happy memory far too soon - wanna 3rd medallion! Orange/fennel salad with a balanced and mild balsamic vinaigrette very interesting. Raspberry tiramisu for one fills two happi-fully.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/9/2014Vidalia never disappoints. Their presentation is always artistic and the flavors rich and fulfilling. We had the day's special - Lover's Scallops. It looked beautiful and tasted great. We were a party of five and the only issue was that the food was not brought out simultaneously so two of us got our food but had to wait almost fifteen minutes for the rest of the table to be served. That's not the norm though, so we chalked it up to an error. Great place though!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely setting, food lackingBryanDined on 8/9/2014I picked this restaurant without any personal recommendations, based on the excellent reviews I read here. We liked the BYOB, the outdoor seating was lovely, the service was excellent. The 2 appetizers we ordered were very good, but the main courses were extremely disappointing. There were 4 of us, and each couple ordered the same 2 dishes, so we actually only tried one pasta and one chicken dish, so our variety was not a good sampling. But we all reached for the salt and asked for parmesan cheese to try and add some seasoning to very bland meals. It surprised me to find such a lack of creativity and taste in a fairly pricey entrée ($18 for the pasta, $19 for the chicken). I think for the money we could have done much better elsewhere.Special Features:
- So Good!wineanddineVIPDined on 8/7/2014It was an outstanding lunch. Everything was perfectly prepared with the usual attention to detail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Vidalia..How Sweet It Is!njjoanDined on 8/3/2014Excellent food! I had the veal with figs and mushrooms which was out of this world. Birthday boy, aka hubby, went for the steak and shrimp which was equally delicious. Our kids had seafood and pasta...all wonderful. Chef/owner came out to say hello; a nice personal touch to dining. Love the fact that it is a byob.Special Features:
- Great Food in unexpected placeBambooLakayeDined on 8/2/2014I will definitely go to Vidalia again..... Friendly staff... the food was great. I will love to try some other things in the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - After a slew of fundraisers around the
country, Gov. Bobby Jindal is holding his next money-raising event
in Louisiana - in the duck blinds of Cameron Parish.
Jindal is inviting supporters to join him in his home state at
the "first Jindal Fun Hunt Fundraiser" on Jan. 3-4, hosted by his
natural resources secretary, Scott Angelle.
The Friends of Bobby Jindal campaign organization is asking
$5,000 per person for the event, which is designed to raise cash
for Jindal's 2011 re-election bid.
The event starts on a Sunday afternoon at the Grosse Savanne
Lodge, followed by an early Monday morning hunt.

Obama Takes a Hands-on Approach to Michelle's Rump
While the actual video tape of the incident paints a different picture (it's quite possible Obama's head was swiveled awkwardly because he was helping a third party down the stairs), we now have more definitive photographic evidence that our Commander-in-Chief is an unabashed fan of the derriere. The below picture was taken as the Obamas departed Hawaii after an apparently quite successful 12-day vacation.

YOu know waht, if people would stop worrying about little things like the president putting his hands on his wife, and I mean his WIFE, instead of worrying about the cost of the net meal taht you may nnopt be able to affors, whether you are going to be able to feed your kids, or the bills are going up and you may loose your home. Gosh, this is this man's wife, none of ours, and he has every right to touch her, and I wonder if some of you have just to muc time on your hand, worrying about this.

If she does not mind, after all, they are married. I am sure, being married myself (for 30 years) that ife other hand, I HAVE A RTEAL PROBLEMth she minded he would know it, and not do it. I think that they (the Obama's are very comfortable with each other. I have no problem with this display. On The other hand I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH DECEPTIVE ARTICLES SUCH AS THAT SMEAR SHEET DRUDGE REPORT GIVING FALSE IMPRESSIONS!!

ok, i'm not an obamma fan at all, but i do that to MY girlfriend all of the time. the other day they were complaining about how he looked drunk in a picture, or something. isn't there some socialist healthcare going through? in canada they have a 45% income tax to support their socialist healthcare, and, of course, people care more weither or not the president is wearing a tie or not.

it's a wonder Flotus didn't elbow Potus backward down the ramp. I find it charming. this couple are that much into each other. at least his hand is on his wifes butt. he might be prez, but michelle runs the household. i think he's just gesturing that he's still in awe, very lucky she chose him...and he knows how fortunate he is. cute. if more of us had a relationship like that, there'd far fewer divorces.

When someone provides me the funding I request for a project without fighting me tooth and nail over every bent copper, I believe that I should return the courtesy by going above and beyond to earn the trust that has been placed in me. One result of this is that the bigger the budget of the project, the pickier I become about …
Last time I was in love with SM it was short lived
Last time I was "in love" with a SM box it was a rather short lived affair.
After about a year (granted, that was in a warmer than average equipment room at 25C or so) the capacitors started popping up like Guy Falkes day fireworks. Granted, this was at the height of the "duff capacitor" affair when all of the industry suffered from it so it may have been a one off. None the less, the experience has taught me to very wary of their kit specs and make sure i have plenty of resource to spare when using them.
Compared to them HP may not be as efficient. It is not as cheap either. However, usually it continues to run for way longer than its scheduled time. In fact, I have yet to see a HP/Compaq server be retired as a result of a usage-induced hardware failure (different from duff disks of course). All the ones I have retired had to go to the skip simply because they have become obsolete, not because they have become flaky. If it was not for the moore's law some of them would be still trucking along today 10 years after they have come down the assembly line.
HPC server stress testing
a.k.a. "we played Crysis all weekend"
You're having more fun than me it sounds like - cheers!
How do you play Crysis
on a Tesla? No outputs! However...that would be one /sexy/ gaming machine if I had a DVI port...
Sorry Trev
Should have used the joke ahead icon, but seriously this sounds like an amazing project to work on and I am green with envy. The crisis comment was just in jest :)
I know it was in jest...but I wasn't. If you can figure out a way to play Crysis without the DVI port, I'll buy you a pint. I would *love* to take these beauties for a spin! :) After all, the question has to be asked: with two Xeons, 48GB of RAM and two Tesla cards...does Crysis still run like crap?
Becuase it wrecks my laptop...
Dude! You're getting...
Realtec NICs. Yech. Granted, it's for management, but still.
Anyway. Two GPUs and two CPUs in 1U. If you're only after GPUs, you could instead take a bigger box and stuff 8x dual GPU cards in it. That's less CPU sockets (and less memory sockets), but given that CPUs and chipsets eat a lot of power too, it could save you some kilowatts. Of course that all depends on just what you're trying to do with the boxes.
It's an interesting compromise, this GPU processing thing.
If I made some ridiculous uber-machine with quad 12-core CPUs and 8 GPUs it would crunch numbers so fast I'd need a little lie-down. That said, what is the kind of time spend crunching numbers versus chatting with the control server looking for new jobs? Personally, I wish control software were a little bit more dynamic. I would love to have a couple real number-crunching beefcakes for the render jobs that can't quite be broken up as much. The rest could be farmed out to the smaller nodes.
Instead, you need to find a balance between speed of processing, power efficiency, cooling, ability to supply X number of watts to a single system and ability to actually get jobs from the control server. Given that the client uses Lightwave, I've found from testing that 2xCPU and 2xGPU seems to be about the right balance. At the end of the day, the control software just doesn't seem to be good enough to deal with more.
many GPU setup
I think it's not only control software - put too many high-spec GPUs in a box and PCIe will hold you back, since the software will have to copy some serious amount of data to and from GPUs.
Well I never built the box like this one, but .... I would be tempted to learn CUDA just to see what it can do :)
Optional though
You don't have to make use of the realtec if you don't want to - the IPMI can share with LAN1 on the mobo. It also supports vlan tagging when sharing in this manner.
PCIe bottleneck
Yes, though that depends on just what you're loading the GPUs with. 4x2GPUs on a 4x4x4x4x board might just suffice for things that are require more crunching "hotspots" than munching through sheetfuls of data for just a few calculations. Things like brute forcing cryptographic hashes are very "hotspot-y", so to speak. Some other things, less so.
Have to admit I haven't paid enough attention to know if Trevor mentioned just what sort of jobs he has in mind. Anyhow, the control software not dealing well with configurations other than 2xCPU+2xGPU pretty much moots speculation there for production work.
I've got an.....
Abacus you can borrow, the next time you need graphical speed!
Cooling No Problem..
"My next challenge - designing cooling systems to handle over 25kW per rack "on the cheap" – is the daunting one"
You live in Alberta you say, and it's winter there right now? A dryer hose and a wall grommet shoud do the trick.
What about when it's +40c? Also, in my experience, servers don't appreciate you directly dumping air at -40c onto them either...
The image from the supermicro site shows one board up, one board down.
As to the price... 6K Canadian is very interesting. Sounds like you're getting a steep discount.
This would make a nice node in any hadoop cluster.
@Ian Michael Gumby
It only seems like a "great deal" if you assume maxed RAM. While the board supports 192GB of RAM, I'm only actually loading the systems out with 48GB. That's 12x 4GB modules, a pair of CPUs, the two GPU cards and the server. You can buy the barebones server with the 2x GPU modules retail for $5700 here in Canada. 48GB of RAM + CPUs aren't less than another grand, retail. Buy a few of them and a discount of $1000 off the retail really isn't that much.
I wasn't expecting it to be filled up with memory.
Even with 48GB its still a pretty good deal. Each m2050 card retails for around $2500-$2900 USD with a higher MSRP.
I don't recall how many drive you have, but for a hadoop cluster data node you'd put in 4 2TB SATA drives. (Maybe 3TB if priced right.)
Definitely something to consider.
Well, we kind of did
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought you'd maxed the RAM.
@Clint Sharp
I'm very sorry I didn't make that clearer. That is totally my bad. Even 48GB of RAM is probably excessive for these nodes...but I like to fill all the slots. I guess I forgot that not everyone would realise that the average video rendering box would not make use of 192GB of RAM. It's mostly about the number crunching. They typically crunch work units in the 4-8GB range, though they could get tasked with up to 36GB, depending on the job.
We're doing tests now to see if 10Gig NICs will really speed up overall farm performance, or if it is (as I suspect) going to be bottlenecked by the control software, not the network. Only tests will tell…
@Ian Michael Gumby
Getting the cards in the server seems way cheaper. What I am ordering really isn't that farr off the retail price. Even the local supplier I use for retail gear has a decently low retail price: http://www.cdw.ca/shop/products/Supermicro-SuperServer-6016GT-TF-FM205-no-CPU/2251250.aspx. Remember that you have to add CPUs and RAM to that.
That said, my client has some decent connections, and got a reasonable discount off of what seems to be the Canadian retial price for this gear. Also to be noted is that I don't have any disks in any of these nodes: they load thier OS over the network. It's just board/chips/RAM/GPUs.
All about the plumbing
Wasn't that Seymour Cray's observation about the toughest bit of designing the Cray 1?
I suspect the cooling might be a little trickier than basic hardware selection. I suspect it depends how good the facilities in your machine room are and how freedom you have to remodel (Historic building versus using a jigsaw on the sheetroc).
@John Smith 19
It's a big converted warehouse sitting on top of a massive concrete slab with a two-story 3500 sq ft basement underneath. Sadly, most of the building is offices and warehousing. The corner of the building I get to work in really isn't that big...but I can punch holes in the wall/roof/floor if I need. I just can't move walls.
I'd never touch SuperMicro again...
...several years ago I used to build computers for radio stations as part of my job. I used to source motherboards without anything on board as at the time most on-board stuff was non-standard and crap, and we always used specialist audio cards and graphics anyway (when dual monitors were unusual).
Anyway, I digress. To cut a long story short, after weeks of issues with a client's playout software wobbling all over the place, timing wise (despite us using a serial radio clock) it turned out that the CMOS clocks were shoddy. Different motherboards fixed the issue.
So, there's a story you didn't need to read.
Wobbly CMOS clock to blame for garbled playback? Not likely...
In a particular generation of SuperMicro dual-Xeon boards (Nocona/Irwindale = socket 604), some devices in the RAM VRM's were dying. Cannot say if it was the old elyt caps or the switching FET's combined with some thermal design omission... multiple different motherboards of that generation showed higher RMA rates. Since those days, I've heard no complaints about SuperMicro - I'm pretty sure they've learned from that historical experience :-)
As for system clock distribution: that's a relatively complex issue. You have multiple levels of clocks in the system (some of them in hardware, some of them in software) and multiple levels of audio data buffers (again HW/SW). Makes me wonder if you were facing buffer underruns, or indeed wobbly playback clock (as in sampling rate). All audio cards that I know of have their own Xtal oscillators for the sampling rate clock - so the system-wide PCI clock should have little effect. BTW, the CMOS RTC clock can hardly be the culprit - the PCI clock and the various hardware timers' clocks (=> also your OS system clock) tick along some other master reference crystal, different from the non-volatile CMOS RTC. And, that multi-output clock synthesizer for the various busses and chipset subsystems can employ a technique called "spread spectrum" on purpose - to duck some EMI radiation limits simply by making the radiated "frequency poles" broader / softer. In some BIOSes, the "spread spectrum feature" can be disabled (in others, it cannot). This "spread spectrum" thing is quite common and perfectly legitimate in modern chipsets/motherboards.
However, I still don't think a little bit of added jitter in the CPU+PCI clocks would hamper your audio playback. Rather, I have a different explanation: IRQ and general bus transfer latencies, resulting in buffer underruns. "A few years back" could quite as well correlate to the transition from the old-fashoned discrete interrupt delivery over dedicated signals, to the new+hip message-signaled delivery, in-band over the "hub link" or whatever the chipset backbone link is called. The change has come in the form of chipsets such as i815 / i845. Previous Intel chipsets and contemporary chipsets from cheaper competition still used the old "out of band" IRQ delivery and were therefore showing better "interrupt latencies" under load. Another factor might be that, at about the same time, motherboard vendors (BIOSes) started to use SMI more extensively for software emulation of some missing features (such as, to emulate legacy keyboard / floppy on top of USB devices) - again resulting in occasional excessive latencies. The RTAI project even had some standard test utilities for this. I recall that some telco voice processing boards for the PCI bus did have a problem with that - and a feasible workaround at the time was to replace the Intel-based mobo's with something SiS-based.
I mean to say that none of this is a problem on part of SuperMicro - it's evolution, and it's common to a particular generation of system chipsets. Blame the chipset makers...
Cooling solution
I wonder how many window unit air conditioners you'd need to dissipate that much heat. Super Wal-Mart always seems to have them on sale for about $100 each. That's Probably not the most energy efficient solution (nor is it likely practical)
On a more serious note, have you looked into geothermal? The ground up here has to be relatively cool year-round. As I understand it, geothermal is quite a bit more efficient than any hvac system.
Cooling 25kW per rack? Easy solution
Don't do it. High density != high efficiency.
You are not running ulta low latency interconnect (Ethernet is slow) so you don't need to hit that power density which is just going to cause problems your client doesn't need.
If those boxes are really only happy up to 25C intake at full load then the cooling design is fundamentally compromised and there will be several problems;
1) Those near the top of the rack are going to run hotter whatever you do (inside the rack if not at the front intake) means you have to supply <<20C to the rack to avoid problems
2) The systems are going to be wasting power on cooling fans which will cost your client money they don't need to spend (1U cases with 36mm fans are crap for cooling a few hundred watts let alone 1kW), they could spend this money on more compute nodes instead of noisy inefficient little fans
3) The internal components are going to be running way too close to the edge of their thermal envelope, in reliability testing terms we would call this "accelerated life testing". By increasing the thermal stress your client is likely to see in 1 year how many failures the components would suffer, properly cooled, in 5 or 10 years
A decent 2U chassis (agree with you that white box is frequently as good and cheaper) would provide not just fans large enough to move air effectively and efficiently but also enough space to get sensible airflow and heatsink sizes in. You won't lose much density per rack with 2U boxes as you'll be able to get more of them in before hitting the wall on cooling.
The decent 2U chassis should also be able to run to the basic spec all the Tier 1 vendor kit is tested to, the ASHRAE TC9.9 data cent(er) environmental specification which states 28C intake is OK for years on end and 32C / 35C intake is acceptable for shorter periods. As your client will be junking the kit in a few years anyway you should be able to run up into the low 30s without problems. Of course those little 1U boxes are probably going to start dying in a big way within 18 months so look carefully at how long your client wants to keep running them for before they have to go in a skip.
If low humidity is the constraint then you don't really want to be running below a 5.5C dew point for extended periods anyway, a little bit of the hot exhaust air remixed with the cold intake after passing through a spray or evaporative humidifier works wonders for controlling minimum humidity for hardly any power cost.
The low specific humidity concern is not about the intake air humidity, it is about the relative humidity once the intake air is heated inside the server, if you are just using super dry (from cold outside) intake air then keeping the intake temp low to manage the intake RH is not going to fix the RH inside the box where the problems occur.
As for cooling 25kW (or 20kW as you could get to with 2U boxes without trouble) per rack you might consider;
1) Contained air flow, don't bother with hot / cold aisle, it doesn't work properly at those densities you will waste your life chasing hot spots and doing CFD to find out that you should have contained the air flow.
a) Doesn't matter whether you contain the hot or the cold air, given the high temperatures the GPUs run at and the hot exhaust air though you might want to contain the hot aisles and use a suspended ceiling to extract the air to outside or for cooling and recirc. Humans won't want to spend long in the exhaust of those boxes running a render job
b) In row cooling is no better than external air or perimiter CRAC units in a new build and can be rather expensive
2) Don't bother with a raised floor, at 20+kW per rack you would need a very deep plenum and a cold aisle 5-6 vented tiles wide to get enough air in without starving the systems at the bottom of the racks. Contain the hot aisles and use nice wide cold aisles, then just push the cooled air into the room and let it flow down the cold aisles. The large volume of the cold aisles will work as a plenum and feed near constant pressure air to all of the racks.
3) Overall density is not about how many kW per rack but about how many kW per square metre of total floor space, the power and cooling plant are going to get larger as the total IT kW grows and at 25kW per rack you are likely to end up wasting a lot of space due to air flow problem areas, 15-20kW per rack is likely to yield the same overall kW / m2
Great article, very interesting, thanks,
You could also consider water-cooled racks, which could supply 25KW of cooling per rack very efficiently (as it is only cooling the racks and not the surrounding air). I've used Rittal ones in the past (for blade servers) and they've been fine.
Some consideration is needed for what happens if the rack heat exchanger fails - equipment will overheat very quickly unless machines shut down automatically, and/or you have an automatic door release system and a cool enough ambient air temp to buy some time. Shouldn't happen very often though :-) !
can you actually stack them together?
If you use any PCIe card that is not passively cooled like the M-series Tesla are, the card fans will need to suck air from somewhere, sideways - thus the air intake on the top right of the case, for the right hand GPU. If you want to place more than 20 servers in a rack, then at some point you have to bolt two of them together, and one of them will not "breathe". Then I suppose you are limited to passively cooled cards.

Prep Boys Basketball: Seniors get Indians back on even keel
With just three players back from last season, the Stafford Indians are just beginning to establish their identity under second-year coach Danny Tryon.
In Friday night's home opener against Colonial Forge, they made some major progress in the right direction.
Paced by the play of their three senior captains, the Indians built an early lead against the Eagles and then made it stand up for a 65–55 Commonwealth District victory.
The win evened Stafford's record at 1–1 and gave Tryon's squad a boost of confidence after dropping its season opener 10 days ago.
"It's good to get a win," said Tryon. "What really impressed me was our ability to put a team away. Last year if we led by four or five points, it was a game. But tonight, we increased our lead to double digits."
Senior guards Da'Shawn Harris and Ryan Jones and senior forward Evan Greening all played key roles in the Indians' success.
Harris scored a game-high 15 points and added five steals and several nifty assists. His biggest contribution came with 1:50 left in the fourth quarter, when Stafford was clinging to a 55–49 lead.
Harris dribbled just inside the foul line and calmly buried a 12-foot jump shot to help thwart a late comeback by the Eagles, who had seen the Indians lead grow to as many as 11 points in the closing minutes.
"[Harris] is one of the best pull-up jump shooters in our conference," Tryon said. "He's so unselfish, but at 6–2 and with his vertical, we really need for him to take that shot. Tonight it was huge."
Jones and Greening were key contributors to the Indians' victory, as well. Jones scored eight of his 13 points in the final minute when he went to the line and converted all of his attempts.
"We had some really good practices this weekend," Jones said. "It was great to get back out here and play after such a long layoff."
Greening made his presence felt under the boards with his hustling play. He scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds to keep the Indians competitive against the Eagles' athletic front line led by Ignacio Alleyne.
Alleyne was a force inside with 12 points, 11 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. He was joined in double figures by hardworking Gary Jennings (15 points) and all-district returnee Marco Haskins (11 points).
The Eagles (1–2. 1–1) never led in the game, but trimmed the Indians' lead to two points on several occasions.
After trailing by four at halftime, they used a 10–4 run at the end of the third quarter to cut the deficit to 38–36, but that was as close as they could get.
"We turned the ball over 16 times in the first half," said Colonial Forge coach Jason John. "You just can't do that and win. We have to work on valuing possession of the ball and keep battling."
The Eagles' high turnover rate was a big factor in helping Stafford establish its early momentum. Another factor was the play of two Indian underclassmen, Colt Steigerwald and Brandon Brown.
Steigerwald netted 12 points in his first varsity start, while Brown added eight points and a strong showing on defense.
"We have an athletic team and we've got some new players," Harris said. "But we're getting to know each other really well."
Colonial Forge 10 12 14 19 — 55
Stafford 16 10 12 27 — 65
Colonial Forge (1–2, 1–1): DeMarious Quick 4, Marco Haskins 11, Ignacio Alleyne 12, Rob Loving 0, Jalen Frazier 2, T.J. Flood 3, Gary Jennings 15, Austin Hall 0, Winston Burgess 8. Totals: 22 11-14 55.
Stafford (1–1, 1–1)): Brandon Brown 8, Evan Greening 14, Da'Shawn Harris 16, Ryan Jones 13, Dylan Lane 0, Devantae Mitchell 0, Jalen Nembhard 2, Trey Spindel 0, Colt Steigerwald 12, R.C. Stephens III 0. Totals: 25 12-18 65.
Three-point goals: Colonial Forge 0. Stafford 3 (B. Brown 2, R. Jones).
Steve Franzello: 540/374-5440

Ansah leaves favorable impressionPosted by on February 25, 2013 – 11:46 pm
By Vic Carucci, Senior Editor
You've got questions and comments that you submit to the Browns' official Facebook and Twitter pages. Here's what I have to say about what you have to say:
Jeff – Which outside linebacker is best for my Browns at No. 6? I like Ziggy Ansah, defensive end from BYU.
I like Ziggy, too, Jeff.
I'm not necessarily endorsing him as the Browns' top pick, at least not yet. I'd like to gather more information on him in the coming weeks, including his performance at his pro day.
But I definitely have a higher opinion of him after seeing what he did and talking with him at the NFL Scouting Combine. He showed impressive speed, athleticism, and strength. And he strikes me as a bright person who can learn quickly.
And Ansah has undergone quite a football education when you consider that he's from Ghana and originally chose BYU to compete in track and ultimately develop into an NBA player.
When the 2012 season began, he was not being discussed as a highly rated draft prospect. Now, some draftniks see him as a potential top-10 choice, and think he would make a good fit in the Browns' 3-4 scheme.
Ansah's combination of size (6-foot-5 and 271 pounds), explosiveness, power, and body control allowed him to quickly establish himself as a top-level defensive end at the collegiate level. But the fact he's such a good athlete and a quick study should allow him to play standing up as an outside linebacker in the 3-4 or with his hand down, and demonstrated he could do exactly that at the Senior Bowl. He told me he would be comfortable with either scheme.
I also came away with the strong sense that Ansah is highly competitive and has the work ethic necessary to improve every aspect of his game and learn all of the nuances to help him succeed in the NFL.
But let's see how the rest of the pre-draft process plays out for him and other players the Browns might consider for that sixth overall pick.

The King Range contains the longest stretch of undeveloped coastline in the United States outside Alaska. Unlike almost all other coastal areas in California, it hosts dunes with native grasses. The King Range contains rare, coastal ancient forests of Douglas fir, madrone and tan oak with creeks running to the ocean that host many endangered species, including leafy reedgrass, California brown pelicans, steelhead trout, Chinook and Coho salmon, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, northern spotted owl and Roosevelt elk. It is not at all an uncommon site to see bears foraging on the beach as you traverse the California Coastal trail. The property protects trail access and clean water in the now 42,625 acres of wilderness.
"We deeply appreciate the assistance of the Wilderness Land Trust in this important acquisition for the public," said Lynda Roush, manager of the BLM Arcata Field Office.
According to Roush, the family owned this parcel for generations and used the property as a family retreat in the past. They wanted to share it with others who enjoy the wilderness.
Designated in 2006, the King Range Wilderness now contains 46,737 acres with the addition of this latest acquisition. It contains one of the last and the longest stretches of undeveloped coastline in the United States outside of Alaska. Its ancient coastal forests provide homes to many species of plants and animals. Steelhead trout and Chinook and Coho salmon spawn in its streams. California brown pelicans, bald eagles and peregrine falcons soar above the Pacific Ocean and nest in its forests. Bears and foxes roam the woods and the beaches. People enjoy the California Coastal Trail, also known as the "Lost Coast Trail", which traverses the wilderness, mostly along the beach, for over 24 miles from Shelter Cove to the Mattole River.

The airplane was substantially damaged during a forced landing in a wooded area following a loss of engine power during descent for landing. The pilot reported having an electrical system failure during the flight. He reported that he switched the master switch off to conserve battery power about 12 to 15 nautical miles (nm) from the destination airport. He stated that the engine lost power about 5 to 6 nm from the destination. The pilot reported switching fuel tanks and turning the master switch and electric fuel pump on. The pilot reported that engine power was restored for about 10 to 15 seconds at which time the battery was completely drained and the engine stopped. Postaccident examination revealed that the mechanical fuel pump would not pump fuel when the engine was cranked using the starter. In addition, the fuel pump would not pump fuel unless the fuel pump's plunger was moved beyond the normal travel range. No determination was made as to the nature of the electrical system failure.

About the Food of Botswana
July 6, 2010 by 11 Comments
Today is a great day. While learning about the food of Botswana, I raised my eyebrows at least five times. I love days like that. Plus, I almost convinced my husband we were going to be eating worms. That's right. Worms. You should have seen his face. The people of Botswana prize Mopane worms as a national specialty.
