Hurricane Sandy has begun to move up the Atlantic Coast, sending Washington, New York and Boston into hurried preparations for her arrival. But there isn't much the economy can do to prepare for the story. It just has to wait it out.
If past hurricanes are any guide, Sandy will affect the economy for days or weeks to come. Its arrival is good timing for some, bad for others. Here's a quick look at Sandy's impact.
Bad Timing: the election. This would have been a weekend and week dominated by candidates' final pitches. Instead, the Obama and Romney presidential campaigns canceled events. Newspaper endorsements were overshadowed by storm coverage. In some places, early voting was postponed, as well. Everything that the president and Gov. Romney say in the next few days has to be tailored to accommodate the storm, meaning they can't hammer home their most important messages in the way they'd planned.
One impact yet to be determined is whether Sandy will prompt the campaigns to pull their commercials, at least around newscasts that are filled with storm news. Local broadcasters have come to rely on that advertising revenue, which has been especially lucrative in swing states. So, the storm's timing affects them, as well.
Good Timing: retailing. Grocery store chains and department stores like Target and Wal-Mart are seeing a burst of business from shoppers stocking up on supplies they need for the storm. Stores like Home Depot and Lowe's got their share, too. Some shoppers also might be buying home goods, like candles and comforters and possibly warm coats and sweaters. Probably no one is throwing a turkey platter or Christmas cards into their basket at this moment, but the throngs in the stores are getting a look at Christmas decorations and ideas for the Thanksgiving holiday. Although there will be some impact on last-minute Halloween shopping, this is not normally that busy a shopping period, so some retailers might actually be glad the storm sent them some customers.
Bad Timing: the auto industry. October is the first official month of the new 2013 model year, and automakers have introduced a number of important new vehicles, especially in the mid-sized car market. But sales on the Eastern seaboard probably dried up this weekend, because consumers had other things to worry about, like loading up the cars they own in order to evacuate. Any hurricane also means that dealerships will eventually start seeing storm-damaged cars, as happened after Katrina and Irene, which means buyers will have to beware.
Japanese automakers know all too well what happens when natural disasters strike. They're still recovering from the impact of the tsunami and earthquake in Japan and floods last year in Thailand. Everyone in Detroit will be watching to see if the storm stays on an easterly path, or if it jogs toward the Great Lakes. While the Midwest isn't likely to get as much water damage, high winds can knock out electricity and cause trees to fall, which can disrupt commutes and schedules.
Mixed Timing: the travel industry. On the surface, you'd think this would be bad timing. By Sunday night, airlines had canceled thousands of flights for Monday and Tuesday. That means the system will be a mess for the rest of the week, as travelers are rebooked. But Sandy's timing is sort of a blessing for the airlines, at least. The period between Labor Day and the week before Thanksgiving is one of the slowest of the year. Dealing with Sandy will be much simpler than if the East Coast was hit by a blizzard or ice storm at Christmas time. And for hotels, the bookings generated by storm escapees are always welcome during a slow season (except in New England, where rooms are a premium because of color season).

The challenge: Turn the cramped, boxed-in spaces of a 1950s rambler into updated, cohesive connecting rooms.
The team: Architect Bruce Knutson of Bruce Knutson Architects (www.knutson-architects.com), Golden Valley, and contractor Frank Greczyna, owner of Pineview Builders in St. Paul.
The solution: The homeowners planned to stay in their Edina house for many more years and wanted to make modern improvements, yet keep the ranch-house style. "The couple also wanted visual and vocal connection when one was cooking in the kitchen and the other was in the porch," said Knutson. His main-floor remodeling plan included tearing down some walls and raising the ceilings in the kitchen and porch to visually open up the rooms.
Kitchen connection: Knutson first removed a wall between the U-shaped kitchen and a small den, which was closed off from the rest of the house. That allowed him to integrate that den space into the newly remodeled kitchen and create a casual eating and laptop work area. With the wall gone, it also opened up the kitchen to other rooms and expanded views of Minnehaha Creek out the windows. "We were able to gain visual depth and volume very inexpensively," he said.
From uninviting porch to relaxing sunroom: The three-season porch felt detached from the rest of the house and was rarely used. Knutson removed the entry wall and sliding-glass door between the porch and the house, turning the porch into an extension of the other living spaces.
"We took out a major bearing wall and put in a simple transfer-beam system, which is stronger," he said. He also vaulted the porch ceiling, put in a new cork floor and a cost-effective heating and cooling unit so it can be used all year long.
Staircase barrier: Knutson also tore down a staircase wall adjacent to the kitchen, gaining "25 percent visual space," he said. Then he replaced the wall with a new stair-rail half wall, accented with horizontal iron spindles chosen by the homeowner for a modern twist.
From cut-up to cohesive: After he knocked down the walls, Knutson used walnut flooring, lighting, paint colors and other materials to unify the kitchen, living and dining rooms.
The result: "Tearing down walls accomplishes the current preferred lifestyle, which is for open, flowing multi-use spaces," said Knutson. "Families are more connected today, and parents want to see what kids are watching on TV and doing on the computer."

Australia is an extraordinary place to visit, especially if you enjoy spending time in nature, seeing exotic animals like kangaroos and fairy penguins, and appreciating diverse cultures. Whether you go to Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, or any of the country's other states, you will see sites you will not see anywhere else in the world. And if you take advantage of Australia travel deals, your trip will cost you less than you expect.
Of course, you need not spend your entire holiday in the outback. You can also take tours to wineries and the famous Ayres Rock. Theme parks like Sea World, Movie World, and Wet 'n Wild appeal to children and young-at-heart adults. And there's no shortage of bars, restaurants, day spas, zoos, and wildlife parks. If you are really adventurous, you might even take a scenic flight over amazing landscapes.
Planning a trip requires thought about the not-so-fun parts of vacations. Whatever Australian state you visit, you'll find excellent hotels and inns to fit every budget and style; but you need to make reservations in advance. You will also want to know where to find banks, buses, embassies, dentists, and health clinics. Hopefully you will not have any medical emergencies, but you need to be prepared, just in case.
One way to keep costs down and get the information you need is to buy an Australian discount card. With multiple travel deals in Australia, a discount card makes the best of the country within reach of the frugal traveler. You'll get the cheapest and best travel insurance, car hires, car rentals, bus and plane tickets, hotels, and tours.
Do you want to spend some time on one of Australian's sand beaches? Consider an Orpheus Island Resort, located within the Great Barrier Reef, one of the natural wonders of the world, and accessible only by seaplane, Orpheus is a paradise for the discriminating traveler. With a travel saver discount card, you can even afford this luxurious retreat. While you're by the sea, think about using your discount card to go on a fishing trip, a sail, or a surf trip.
Australia also has unique cultural resources. The Sydney Opera House, for example, is one of the busiest performing arts centers in the world. You can get discount tickets for an opera, the circus, a rock concert, or a cabaret. Be sure to leave enough time to tour the building; it's a work of art in itself.
Whether you plan to spend a few weeks, a few months, or a year in Australia, you will quickly recoup whatever you pay for a discount card, and keep on saving. Depending on the type of card you buy, you can get from 10 to 50 percent off on services, sightseeing, and accommodations.
Australia is the largest island continent--a multicultural society with a rich heritage and outstanding natural resources. The easiest and most economical way to see this remarkable country is to buy a discount card and stay for a long visit. You won't regret it.

Your thinking, this is a very good thing. I really liked this flash due to the fact that it didn't fit the mold of other flashes. My gripe is the cont button. I thought it should have just flowed. So that part pissed me off, but outside of that you have a very good piece of work here. Well done.

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Dear Sir,
I acknowledge receipt of your reply. I have reviewed the parts manuals and can see the parts in question - though I had obtained this information directly from the McCulloch manuals prior to raising my query with you. From what I can establish, and your answer has not provided me with any progress, is that the McCulloch parts, as shown in their manuals, cannot be purchased, and delivered to Ireland - nor can the substitute parts. I am disappointed that I am no further to acquiring a useful solution.
I have spoken to K&T this afternoon, they would be happy to supply you with the parts your require but sadly these head units are no longer available, it would seem that McCulloch went out of business and the trade name was bought by another company with most of the new products being made in Poland. Kevin the owner of K&T stated that unless you can get a copy part from an aftermarket supplier you wont be able to source the part you need. - Ian

The five remaining teams traveled to Tallinn, Estonia where the rivalry between Sam & Dan and Flight Time & Big Easy took center stage culminating in a very physical run to the Pit Stop. Elsewhere, last place Gary & Matt couldn't overcome a Speed Bump and that, along with their many mistakes, resulted in their elimination.
Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 2:23am, Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time & Big Easy ripped open their clue instructing them to travel 236 miles by ferry across the Baltic Sea to Tallinn, Estonia. Once there, they had to figure out how to open a door to the building of Mustpeade, the secret lair of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads, using a ring of keys enclosed in their clue.
Arriving at the empty, desolate dock in Stockholm, the Globetrotters called an attendant who informed them that the ferry to Tallinn wouldn't depart until 5:45pm that evening. After the sun rose over the city, married couple Brian & Ericka and dating couple Meghan & Cheyne joined Flight Time & Big Easy in the ferry terminal parking lot where the Globetrotters slept in their car. Once brothers Sam & Dan arrived, the four teams purchased tickets for the evening ferry to Tallinn. On the brothers' behavior in the last leg during the Switchback, Big Easy commented, "They shouldn't have been acting the way they were acting."
Last place Gary & Matt, facing a Speed Bump at some point in the leg, pulled into the ferry terminal thrilled to join the other teams. After all five teams boarded the massive liner, Gary noted, "This ship may have saved our race life for a little while because we caught up to everybody. It's do or die. It's not a pretty place to be in." Normally decked out in green, Matt donned a black headband, saying, "We mean business and we're not gonna go down without a fight."
After a cruise through the night across the Baltic Sea, the ship carrying the five remaining teams docked in Tallinn, Estonia. Running off the ship, dating couple Meghan & Cheyne and brothers Sam & Dan took the early lead in taxis while father and son Gary & Matt got off to a slow start in fourth place ahead of only the Globetrotters.
Getting out of their taxis and running along a cobblestone street, Meghan & Cheyne and Sam & Dan arrived at the ornate green door in front of Mustpeade. Fumbling with the keys provided in the clue, Cheyne and Dan both tried inserting various keys on their rings into a lock carved into the heavy stone. With married couple Brian & Ericka approaching, Dan turned the correct key setting off a signal and opening the giant green door. Once inside, both teams opened their next clue to find a Roadblock. The Brotherhood of the Blackheads is a secret society of merchants that has existed in Estonia for at least 600 years. In this Roadblock, one team member had to join the ranks of the Brotherhood to uncover a mystery. Teams had to descend into the cellar and find candelabra with a room number attached to it. Then, they had to locate that room where they would be given what appeared to be a blank scroll. They then had to figure out that if they held the scroll over the lighted candle, it would reveal their next clue.
Cheyne and Sam walked down into the dimly lit cellar where members of the Brotherhood ate, drank, reveled and even dueled with swords. Amid the lively atmosphere, Cheyne grabbed a candelabra with the number 73 attached while Sam took one with the number 112. Returning upstairs, the two racers joined forces but they could not find either of the numbered rooms in the massive building.
As Brian & Ericka and Flight Time & Big Easy unlocked the door of Mustpeade, Gary & Matt ran to the Speed Bump, an extra task that only they had to complete after coming in last place in the previous leg. In this Speed Bump, the father and son had to find a saunabuss parked nearby, strip down, and take a five-minute sauna with a group of locals. Once they sweated it out, they could continue on the race in hope of making up for lost time.
Running through the cobblestone streets of Tallinn, Gary & Matt spotted the saunabuss, a large white luxury bus, stepped aboard, stripped down, and walked into the toasty sauna with a group of locals. Gary commented, "My family's from Finland. We all have saunas. This is perfect for us." Matt took notice of a woman sitting next to him clad only a towel describing her as "a very attractive young lady, tall, blonde. It was nice." As the sweat continued dripping, Gary serenaded the locals with a sauna song and Matt made plans for his own Saunabuss "with a keg fridge over in the corner" before a bell signaled that their five-minute sauna had ended. Putting their clothes back on, the pair raced off of the bus and back to Mustpeade.
Flight Time found the room he was looking for, number 78, in first place and received the seemingly blank scroll from a member of the Brotherhood. Immediately, Flight Time thought the way to make a message appear was to draw on the paper and, as he describes it, he "proceeded to start scribbling and coloring like he was in kindergarten." Sam wasn't having much better luck in Room 112, where he tried holding the parchment to the natural lighting but couldn't make out any words, asking, "How do you read this thing?"
Cheyne, in Room 73, and Ericka, in Room 82, had more success when they held their parchments up to the candlelight. Slowly, the words on the paper began to appear to them. In separate rooms, the two racers read the clue, Pikk Hermann Tower Garden, and ran back to their waiting partners. Exiting Mustpeade together, Brian & Ericka and Meghan & Cheyne asked locals who directed them to the nearby garden, which they could reach on foot.
With Flight Time and Sam still trying to decipher their parchments, Matt ran into the cellar of Mustpeade hoping to overtake one of the teams. Immediately, his goal hit a major impediment when he read the word candelabra. A confused Matt asked, "Candelabra? I have no idea what a candelabra is. Am I missing something?"
As Sam & Dan and Flight Time & Big Easy exited Mustpeade with the name Pikk Hermann Tower Garden, Matt continued to scratch his head on how to find a candelabra. Watching the Globetrotters leave, Gary said, "I'm feeling a little frustrated right now because I can't help him." The members of the brotherhood laughed at Matt's expense, but eventually the pink-haired racer deduced that candelabra sounds like candle. He walked to the table where he saw the marked candelabra and took one, saying, "Okay, I got it now."
Arriving at Pikk Hermann Tower Garden, Meghan & Cheyne and Brian & Ericka found a Detour with the choice of Serve or Sling in the muddy bogs of Estonia outside of Tallinn. In Serve, teams had to slog in the bog to play a round of volleyball against a local team. Submerged deep in the mud, they had to score five points to earn their next clue. In Sling, teams planted themselves in the mud and, using a slingshot, fired assorted vegetables at a moose target. When they made a direct hit, the table below it collapsed dumping a pile of cabbages on the ground along with their next clue.
Both teams intended to serve it up, in a game of bog volleyball, and ran to the street to find taxis to take them to the marshy countryside. Both teams spotted a taxi at nearly the same time, but Meghan & Cheyne had the advantage being closer, so Brian conceded, saying to the dating couple, "Tell him to call another one if you can." Furious with her husband, Ericka snapped, "Brian! You're giving our taxi away?" As the dating couple sped off alone in first place, Brian & Ericka wasted valuable minutes searching for another taxi. Once they finally flagged one down, Ericka commented on her generous husband, "I'm going to have to keep him in check because I'm more capable of being a dirty player than he is."
After asking for directions, Sam & Dan ran through the streets of Tallinn to Pikk Hermann Tower Garden with a pair of unwelcome followers, the Globetrotters, tailing them all the way. Big Easy told his partner, "Stay behind them. We'll just run them down." Both teams searched for a taxi after the brothers led the Globetrotters right to the cluebox, prompting Sam to snap, "Go find your own way!" The Globetrotters even tried to use their renown, shouting, "Somebody gotta give the Harlem Globetrotters a taxi!" Sam & Dan asked a taxi driver with a passenger to call for another taxi when an available taxi van pulled up behind them. The Globetrotters spotted it first, but the brothers claimed that was the taxi called for them so the two teams shared the ride. Later, Big Easy said, "Believe me, it was our taxi." Sam countered, "They're not doing anything for themselves. They're literally just following us."
Exiting Mustpeade still hoping to catch up, last place Gary & Matt ran to Pikk Hermann Tower but couldn't find the cluebox. Matt didn't read the last word of the clue, garden, so he and his father actually walked to the tower doors trying to figure out how to get inside instead of noticing the cluebox positioned in clear view across the garden. A frustrated Gary said, "We're getting way behind." The pair eventually noticed the cluebox stationed in the garden and flagged down a taxi, now even further behind.
Arriving at the bogs, Meghan & Cheyne ran along a path of wooden planks until they reached the volleyball courts and players ready for action. The dating couple stripped down to bathing suits and took to the knee-deep mud facing off against two players on the other side of the net. Meghan & Cheyne had early success scoring three quick points, but then they hit a rough patch of mistakes and misfires before finally earning the final two points. After emerging from the muddy mess, the dating couple ripped open their clue instructing them to run to the Pit Stop at Keava Raba Overlook Tower. A quick jog along the wooden planks ended with Megan & Cheyne walking up the Overlook Tower and claiming first place. For their victory, the pair won a red cedar sauna.
Brian & Ericka arrived at the bog at the same time as Sam & Dan and the Globetrotters, but they lost a foot race to the two available volleyball courts. Instead of having to wait for a court to open, the married couple decided to put on bogshoes, similar to snowshoes, and traipse across the mud to shoot the slingshots. Grabbing assorted radishes, potatoes, and onions as ammunition, Brian & Ericka took aim at the target, but both missed over and over, shooting long, short, and every way imaginable.
Taking to the muddy volleyball courts, Sam & Dan and Flight Time & Big Easy both lost points against the Estonian players, making the teams realize that this would be difficult. At one point, Big Easy became mired knee-deep in the mud, unable to move. Eventually, the Globetrotters' athleticism won out as they scored the five required points to edge ahead of brothers Sam & Dan, who scored their fifth point moments later.
With a narrow lead over Sam & Dan, Flight Time & Big Easy ran in the wrong direction in search of Keava Raba Overlook Tower, allowing the brothers to pass them. Realizing their mistake, the Globetrotters turned around and had the brothers in their sites, ready to retake the lead. However, with only narrow wooden planks to run on, passing by the brothers proved treacherous for Flight Time who fell down twice, the second time taking Dan down with him. Dan recovered faster than Flight Time, darting back up, and running with his brother to claim second place while Flight Time & Big Easy settled for third. On the mat, Big Easy implied that Dan had a part in Flight Time's tumble, saying, "We didn't know that the elbow and the physical stuff was in play." An incredulous Dan replied, "What? He came running beside me and that's when he fell and I fell." Big Easy responded ominously, "I'm 6'10", 260, so we're gonna do what we gotta do." Afterwards, Sam asked, "If they have this big vengeance they want to seek out"¦what are they planning on doing, punching us? Pushing us over?"
After Brian & Ericka hit the moose target to finish in fourth place, Gary & Matt finally arrived at the bog, used slingshots to hit their target, and stepped onto the mat last. Phil delivered the bad news to the father and son that they had been eliminated from the race. Gary got emotional speaking about how much this meant to him, saying, "You can't put a price on this experience and being able to spend the time we have together. It's been great." After hugging his son, Gary added, "I love you buddy and I accept you just the way you are." Having a sense of humor about his elimination, Matt added, "I never want to see another candelabra in my lifetime."
Roadblock: A Roadblock is a task that only one person can perform. The Brotherhood of the Blackheads is a secret society of merchants that has existed in Estonia for at least 600 years. In this Roadblock, one team member had to join the ranks of the Brotherhood to uncover a mystery. Teams had to descend into the cellar and find candelabra with a room number attached. Then, they had to locate that room number where they would be given what appeared to be a blank scroll. What they had to figure out was if they held the scroll over the lighted candle it would reveal their next clue.
Performed Roadblock: SAM, CHEYNE, ERICKA, MATT, FLIGHT TIME
Detour: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its pros and cons. In this Detour, teams had to choose between Serve and Sling in the muddy bogs of Estonia outside of Tallinn. In Serve, teams had to slog in the bog to play a round of volleyball against a local team. Submerged deep in the mud, they had to score five points to earn their next clue. In Sling, teams planted themselves in the mud and, using a slingshot, fired assorted vegetables at a moose target. When they made a direct hit, the table below it collapsed dumping a pile of cabbages on the ground along with their next clue.
Serve: SAM/DAN, MEGHAN/CHEYNE, FLIGHT TIME/BIG EASY
Sling: BRIAN/ERICKA, GARY/MATT
Speed Bump: A Speed Bump is a task that only father and son Gary & Matt had to complete because they came in last place on the previous leg. In this Speed Bump, the father and son had to find a saunabuss parked nearby, strip down, and take a five-minute sauna with a group of locals. Once they sweated it out, they could continue on the race in hope of making up for lost time.

Xavier Shay from Square gave a talk about how they use JRuby. You can watch the video :
He described the initial use of only Ruby on Rails and the eventual move to multiple programming languages and frameworks Ruby, Rails, Java, Rack and Sinatra. This lead them to move their Ruby stuff to move to JRuby. In the talk he covers Java integration, deployment, Rails and development and developer environments. The Java integration was not used as much as initially they thought it would be. JRuby allowed them to integrate with Neo4J libraries (graph database). There is a gem call RubyNeo4J which wraps the Java classes into Rubyisms.
They ended up not using the gem but using the Java classes directly. Worked really well. He mentioned that the shared JVM experience is a win. In talking about deployment he mentioned that they deployed Java on Jetty and they started deploying their Ruby code on Jetty as well – and it is paying dividends being able to share the same app engine. He asked the question how to deploy Ruby web apps in a JRuby framework. One way, is to package up the Ruby stuff into a war file and deploy it on a Java app server. Works – but they didn't have a Java app server. Also by packaging into a war-file – this is very unRuby like. A second way, is to use Trinidad which allows you to use Rails or Rackup apps within an embedded Tomcat Container.They didn't use this approach because they were using Jetty.
The third approach they initially used was Kirk which wrapped around Jetty and wraps your Rack app. They had issues with it within an embedded Tomcat Container. They didn't use this approach because they were using Jetty. The third approach they initially used was Kirk which wrapped around Jetty and wraps your Rack app. They had issues with it. A fourth option, Mizuno also did not fit their efforts very well. So, they wrote a tool called Jetpack.
Jetpack provides a way to package your JRuby webapp for Jetty. It creates a little self-contained JRuby/Jetty/vendored-gem world around your project. Jetpack gives you a script to start and stop your service.
The philosophy behind Jetpack is to let "Jetty be Jetty" and "Ruby be Ruby". It worked for them. They deploy to n servers and coordinate with haproxy and use capistrano to orchestrate it. HAProxy is an open source TCP/HTTP load balancer, commonly used to improve the performance of web sites and services by spreading requests across multiple servers.
Capistrano is a utility and framework for executing commands in parallel on multiple remote machines, via SSH. They have one process with real threads and they can start/stop the service on the fly. He also talked about Rails. They use girl_friday for doing asynchronous tasks. Rails thread-safe mode is not widely tested. He also touched on development. He mentioned that between jRuby and the JVM it does have a long start-up time. They develop on 1.9.3 and deploy on jRuby. They are using jRuby for apps that do analytics, transaction viewing (anti-fraud), settlement and reconciliation, interact with graph database and some other apps.

Might as well get this started then.
Info within two weeks.
Anyone want to hazard a guess?
Andy c's collection of you've been framed style home videos....?
Wilkinson Presents: Dyson & Henry Loop-pack.
what i wish: hotbox / now it's time
what it will be probably: bomber / dunno
mind vortex me thinks?
june miller pls
no more jump up for a bit yeah!
hope it's mind vortex....seems like it's time for it to be released
sure is Ram Forum in here.
you classify this as jumpup? in my opinion jumpup is that hazard original sin tantrum desire etc. stuff
This. I'll hazard teeth a guess that he meant dancefloor.
yeah i think so to, just wanted to make sure
dancefloor was a term invented by people who dont want their hooversynths and slightly less aggressive wobble to be associated with jumpup
its jumpup
deal with it
RAMM111 should be released 11/1 to be stylish. I guess it's not gonna happen Anyways fingers crossed for Mind Vortex' release. Or another Dimensions EP, it's about time for Ev's Dead to come out finally.
Bomber/Vatican Roulette or Bomber/Passenger would be my guess
Maybe something from the man Nick Sub Focus? Been long since he has had a solo release. I think it's Bomber though, which would be badass
Sub Focus just "released" his freebie dubstep track, so I'm guessing we won't hear any of his new (hopefully DNB) stuff for another few months.
Surely Bomber is going to be saved for Loadstar's album?
Edit: Just seen their facebook
Oh, I actually missed that. What a mediocre track, hope the album will be better.
But he posted this on his facebook: "This is just the first of many releases leading up to my second album in 2012." Probably not Ram110 then, but hopefully some dnb stuff very soon.
Is anybody actually excited about Sub Focus' new album though?
It's going to be 50% dubstep and gay house

The new Intel Tualatin is certainly going to be an interesting extension to Intel's Pentium III line of processors. With performance matching the Athlon, the Tualatin could very well give users a good alternative to using AMD's power hungry Athlon processor. With very low requirements for power (you can still use your old 250W ATX power supply unit) and low heat dissipation (a simple cooler should do the trick), the Tualatin is made for consumers seeking a quick and simple upgrade solution. The drawback is that users are required to change their current motherboard to accomodate the new Tualatin.
The Pentium III has been around for quite a long time, and with the Tualatin, you can be sure of better and more stable performance using a well accepted processor core. The Tualatin is currently not available and we have not received any information pertaining to its launch in Singapore. However, judging from the price of current 1GHz Pentium III processors, we would expect the Tualatin to cost a lot more than the Athlon. If the price of Tualatin could match the Athlon, the new Tualatin could very well give upgraders the reason to move away from the Athlon. But for now, we can only cross our fingers and hope that Intel would do the right thing.

text: I notice that when looking in the sparc kernel config files, they all have the TIMEZONE and DST options marked as obsolete.. however, you can't compile a kernel without them as they are used to initialise a tz strucure in sys/conf/param.c .. none of the other ports seem to declare them as obsolete (there is a comment in the mvme68k config file, but that is descended from the sparc one) except the mac68k ones -- I have grepped through the entire sources, and they only seem to show up in param.c Are they really obsolete? nobody else seems to have noticed - the sparc port just defines them as 0, but everybody else seems to use them as if they really do something. Following it through the system, only sys_settimeofday and sys_gettimeofday in kern_time.c seem to use the tz variable that holds their values, and I guess it only makes a difference if the time of day is gotten before it gets setten.. I can't quite work that out though (I thought it was all done in /etc/localtime but that might come later) I was wondering whether to send a pr and reduce the fluff, but now I'm not so sure.. ]ain

ISITC Launches New Group To Work On Dodd-Frank Best Practices
ISITC, the industry trade group focused on standards in transaction processing and related communications, announced the launch of a new Regulatory Working Group.
The goal of the new ISITC group is to increase constituents' understanding of new regulations and partner with regulators and other industry standards organizations to define best practices. The Regulatory Working Group, which is comprised of investment managers, vendors, custodians and broker-dealers, is focused on analyzing and establishing best practices in support of new regulatory policies, such as Dodd-Frank. The working group will also partner with and deliver ISITC guidance to regulators to facilitate implementation. The co-executive sponsors of the Regulatory Working Group are Karla McKenna, director of market practice and standards at Citi, and Tom Brown, associate partner at Brook Path Partners, Inc.
"The Regulatory Working Group's primary focus is to keep a pulse on the rules as they are written and apply them to ISITC best practices," said Tom Brown. "Because of widespread regulatory change, we needed a community in which global financial services constituents can participate and contribute to the recommendations regarding the implementation of these mandates. The ISITC Regulatory Working Group is a true forum that will significantly enable market participants to understand and respond to regulation." Regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Treasury Office of Financial Research (OFR), SEC and CFTC have formed subcommittees to align global implementation requirements for legal entity identification tied to the analysis of systemic risk. These new policies may impact ISITC constituents; as a result, ISITC has formed the Working Group to define best practices around new regulatory mandates. "There is no better way to produce solutions to industry challenges than by taking part in lively and collaborative discussions that will influence change. This is the role of our Working Groups, each of which takes on a specific and vital issue," comments Jan Ellis Snitzer, Chair of ISITC and Vice President at Loomis, Sayles & Co. "The launch of our Regulatory Working Group is an important and exciting step towards ensuring we are prepared for regulatory change."

United States: The Case Of The Vanishing § 1292(b) Certification
Last Updated: November 23 2016Article by Eric G. Pearson
Nothing about the Seventh Circuit's recent per curiam decision in Kenosha Unified School District No. 1 Board of Education v. Whitaker, No. 16-8019 (7th Cir. Nov. 14, 2016), could be considered much of a mystery, but file the case away as something you don't see often. It answers the question of what happens to the court of appeals' jurisdiction if the district court makes and then withdraws certification of an interlocutory order under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b).

UnNews:Newsweek depiction of Obama as void upsets some Hindus
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Newsweek depiction of Obama as void upsets some Hindus
Where man always bites dog
Saturday, March 24, 2018, 08:35:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
22 November 2010
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Newsweek's depiction of President Obama on its latest cover has irked some East Indian-Americans who, fresh off Obama's visit to the world's largest chaosocracy, are not happy with the image of the U.S. president as what many Hindus claim to be the highest reality, Brahman or the void.
The Newsweek cover shows Obama as simply nothing. The entire cover is blank. The headline reads: "Why the Modern Presidency May Be Nothing For One Person to Handle."
In Hinduism three names are often confused, even by Hindus. Brahman means the void, brahmana means a priest, and Brahma means the 4-faced creator god. These are actually three different words.
Brahman is the term for divinity as understood in the Hindu sect of "advaitavaad" or nondifferentiated monism. Brahman is the void, without any attributes, and which is the origin of three pre-eminent gods in the Hindu religion named Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Brahman is considered the opposite of the world, which must end, metaphorically speaking, in order to escape the cycle of births and deaths and enter the void.
Brahman or the void is often externally manifested as millions of gods, headed by the afore named three, who have multiple arms, and are viewed as the cosmic hierarchy. They all rule the rhythm and harmony of life.
Rajan Zeddy, president of the Society of Hinduism in Alaska, told the English-language Sify News in India that the void is highly revered and meant to be worshiped, not indecorously thrown around. Zeddy, who is known for his work on interfaith dialogue, said it is not OK to use Hindu concepts for profit or self-serving purposes.
Suhag Shukla, managing director and legal counsel of the Washington-based Hindu-American Foundation, told FoxNews.com that her group doesn't think Newsweek was being malicious or trying to offend Hindus, but "the cover was in line with the media's comfort of utilizing Hindu philosophy to symbolize an issue."
"Hinduism's sacred images are too often appropriated in popular culture without understanding their spiritual relevance to Hindus," she said. "For Hindus, the iconography gives insight into the divine realm, Brahman, the absolute nothingness. And this void is the source of each aspect of the gods, replete with profound symbolism that is lost and even misunderstood by such attempts at humor."
Shukla, who noted that Hindu images are frequently used in media as caricatures because of a fundamental lack of understanding about the very complex religion, said it's impossible to control the deities, who all actually come from nothing, but showing the empty void, which we Hindus call Brahman, is crossing the line."
Shukla admitted it was too late to retract the image since the magazine reached mailboxes on Friday. However, her organization will contact Newsweek on Monday. "How can they make a joke about Brahman, the void?" Shukla said. "If it is void then there is also no 'punch line' - and what is a joke without a punch line?"

With fast-running, turbulent floods of water, the amount of sediment can even increase to the eighth (!) power of the velocity of the water.72 In other words, if a large quantity of fast-flowing water starts to flow three times as fast again, it can transport 6,651 (=38) times as much sediment.
To encounter a boulder—or better yet, a field of boulders deposited by fast-running water last seen hundreds of thousands of years ago—is about as visually exciting as it gets.

Nothing moves on the river beyond, save for the fast-running tide.
It is a symbolic place where modern chess began: around the year 1485, the lazy, slow piece next to the king turned into a beautiful, fast-running, mad queen.
Much of the terrain above 8,000 feet remains blanketed in snow, while some lower-elevation areas are blocked by high- and fast-running creeks and overflowing rivers.

Dung Beetles: Your Other Pasture Manager
By Emily Wilmes, University of Minnesota Extension
ST. CLOUD, Minn (06/17/15) — Livestock producers know the importance of managing their pastures, but what about the other critters managing your pastures? I'm talking, of course, about dung beetles. Dung beetles are beetles that feed partly or exclusively on dung or feces. They possess exceptional dung disposal capacity and one dung beetle can bury dung that is 250 times heavier than itself in one night. Many dung beetles, known as rollers, roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or brooding chambers. Other dung beetles, known as tunnelers, bury the dung wherever they find it. The beetles then lay their eggs in the dung, where the larvae will hatch, grow, and continue the cycle.
Dung beetle activities greatly benefit the land on which they are acting. Buried with the manure are flies and parasites—enemies of cattle, horses and other livestock. Dung beetles help reduce pest populations that affect cattle herds. One manure pat may contain close to 80 adult horn flies. But healthy dung beetle populations have been shown to reduce horn flies by as much as 95 percent. They can reduce nematode infections by up to 90 percent and nematode populations 75-93 percent.
Dung beetles offer additional benefits to pastures. These include:
• Breaking up manure, increasing forage availability. Dung beetles can bury more than 75 percent of manure on a pasture. There are estimates that this could open 1 million acres or more of usable pasture.
• Tunneling through the soil and incorporating manure into the soil, improving soil fertility. Research shows that with a good dung beetle population, soil is better aerated, and nitrogen content is much better. Close to 200 pounds of residual N can be attributed to dung beetles. There is also more phosphate available.
• Tunneling helps improve soil infiltration and water retention. Water penetration is about 130% deeper than in pastures without beetles.
Unfortunately, dung beetle populations have been heavily reduced by the use of some dewormers that control internal parasites. By using avermectin parasite control products, which kill dung beetles, producers may have lost many benefits the beetles bring to pastures. However, cattle can receive excellent parasite control from products that contain moxidectin, which has little or no effect on dung beetles. Talk to your vet or local sales rep about dewormers with moxidectin, and leave the dirty work to the dung beetles.

To be considered for membership in Fiercely Independent Locksmiths of America (FILOA) you have to be at least 5' 10" tall and weigh no more than 250 lbs…; no that won't work, gotta' come up with some realistic membership rules. I read a short article by Steve Farrell over at The Moral Liberal on Fundamental Rights of Societies, Clubs and Nations ; interesting since my topic today had to do with organizing a new locksmith association.
"Every society from a great nation down to a club has a right of declaring the conditions on which new members should be admitted." Source: Madison's Notes on the Federal Convention, August 9, 1787, Gouvernor Morris: delegate from Pennsylvania.
I'm taking a huge leap here; let's say that anyone interested in becoming a member of FILOA should be involved in the business of locksmith work as a hobby, apprentice, journeyman locksmith or in some other way interested in the trade/profession. Notice how trade/profession is carefully fused; no accident or coincidence; if it bothers your sense of self righteousness you're not going to feel comfortable with our organization. We'll accept tinkering amateurs and folks with letters behind their names; just remember to clean up after yourselves as there is no maid service.
We're going to come up with a membership form which can be downloaded from our site, a form which has to be signed and then returned via the U.S. Postal Service with a real stamp on it. It wouldn't do to let just anyone become a member. Just look what happened to Congress; no Sir, we're going to have to be much more selective if you're going to be admitted into this group.
The membership form will include a place for a notary to witness your signature testifying that you are not a convicted felon and that you are worthy to hold a locksmith license in states which require such a license or consider such licenses fundamentally unconstitutional; that should about cover the integrity clause once we get around to establishing such guidelines.
I'll run all this by a lawyer friend of mine so he can have a good laugh and then do some serious organizing. The biggest challenge to individuals forming such a group like FILOA is the bureaucratic disaster we call government. They're always doing their level best to invent powers whereby they might get around constitutional restraints. You can bet these pencil heads will not take kindly to having a group of fiercely independent minded folks getting together.
We need a great looking logo, something to put at the top of our letterhead and website. It could have crossed antique keys like other locksmith organizations; but they might see that as an infringement on their logo so be original if you plan to submit a design. Scan your artwork and send it along with your membership dues before we start doing our in depth criminal background checks.
This article has been cross posted to The Moral Liberal , a publication whose banner reads, "Defending The Judeo-Christian Ethic, Limited Government, & The American Constitution".

Alex Gaft was dismissed on Friday, just a day after ENRC said it was parting company with Dechert, the US law firm.
An ENRC spokesman would only say that Mr Gaft "reported to the head of internal audit" and had been "suspended, pending dismissal".
Only last month a presentation compiled by Dechert was handed to the Serious Fraud Office. It questioned $100m (£65m) of payments over four years at ENRC's Kazakhstan unit Sokolovsko-Sarbai, known as SSGPO.
There are unsubstantiated allegations that Mr Gaft received threats while investigating the allegedly fraudulent payments at SSGPO.
The latest departure follows Thursday's shock resignation of chief commercial officer Jim Cochrane and reports that ENRC chairman Mehmet Dalman, who is spearheading the drive to improve the group's corporate governance, had threatened to quit after a bust-up with the executive management.
The Serious Fraud Office is awaiting the findings of ENRC's internal inquiry before deciding whether to launch its own investigation.
On Thursday, ENRC said it had "retained Fulcrum Chambers LLP as lead counsel overseeing the Group's liaison with the SFO", adding that "Dechert LLP no longer advises the company". Sources suggested Dechert's investigation may have become too pricey.
ENRC said Mr Cochrane had quit his £670,000-a-year post after more than a decade with the company "to pursue other interests", with insiders denying any bust-up with Mr Dalman.
Mr Gaft could not be reached for comment.
The shares fell 7.7 to 249.4p

Two Year Old Crashes His Father's Mercedes C-Class EstateGiancarlo Perlas May 15, 2014
It is already very common to hear about some people crashing their Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Among the usual causes of the Mercedes mishaps that we read or hear about regularly involve an adventurous soul trying to put his or her vehicle to the limit, carjacking gone wrong, or a technical fault on the part of the auto itself.
Among the unexpected news about Mercedes crashes involve mechanics like the incident where they crashed a customer's pearlescent finish Mercedes SL65 AMG. My personal favorite in the Mercedes wrecks I have reported so far was the one where two Mechatronics mechanics totaled a rare Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing.
Recently, while looking for a newsworthy story, I came across an article in WFC about a two-year boy who wanted to take his father's Mercedes C-Class Estate for a spin, but as expected, he crashed the car into a post.
According to the source, the unnamed German toddler sneaked pass his sleeping father and grabbed the keys to their Mercedes C-Class Estate. Upon gaining access to the wagon, he used a stool to reach its controls. He was able to start the car, which immediately sped out from its parking slot into a post because it was already left in the first gear.
Neighbors who witnessed the incident claimed that they saw the car shoot out of its parking space and hit a post.
Fortunately, the event left the child unscathed and the only noticeable damage to the vehicle is its front bumper.
Here are some photos of the incident from WCFL:

Jessica Hamzelou, reporter
This high speed video of a hummingbird's tongue shows how the birds dynamically draw nectar from flowers, flipping on its head the existing theory that they suck nectar like drinking through a straw.
In 1833, it was suggested that hummingbirds use their long tongues to draw in nectar by capillary action - the combination of molecular forces that allows liquids to be drawn up narrow tubes against gravity - and this line of thinking has been followed ever since.
Until now, that is. When Alejandro Rico-Guevara and Margaret Rubega at the University of Connecticut filmed 30 hummingbirds with high-speed cameras, they found that the birds were feeding in an entirely different way.
The tips of hummingbirds' long tongues are known to divide in two, and each half is fringed in extensions known as lamellae. Rico-Guevara and Rubega found that just before the tongue enters the liquid, the tips are together and the lamellae are flat. As the tongue extends into nectar, the tongue's two forks separate, and the lamellae unfurl. When a hummingbird begins to withdraw its tongue, the lamellae roll inwards to trap the nectar in order to deliver it into the mouth.
The findings show for the first time that hummingbirds' tongues dynamically draw nectar from flowers. The pair's investigations into post-mortem samples of tongues showed that they could trap nectar in the same way, suggesting that the hummingbirds do not require any muscular work to gather their food. As such, the hummingbird is the only known animal to trap liquid food without using any energy, the authors say.

CLEVELAND (AP) - Justin Verlander rarely looks like a five-time All-Star, former Cy Young winner and AL MVP when he takes the mound at Progressive Field.
For some reason, in Cleveland he's a different pitcher.
A beatable one.
Verlander was tagged for four runs in the second inning and outpitched by Trevor Bauer, who handled Detroit's punishing lineup as the Indians beat the Tigers 6-2 on Tuesday night for their second win over the AL-Central leaders.
Mike Aviles hit a two-run double in the second off Verlander (5-3) when the Indians opened a 5-1 lead. Verlander settled in, but it was too late. He dropped to 9-11 with a 5.36 ERA in Cleveland and the right-hander is 18-15 in his career against the Indians, who have handed him more losses than any other team.
'Their whole lineup was really locked in,' Verlander said. 'Those guys hit some easy pitches and some tough ones.'
Bauer (1-1) was recalled earlier in the day for his second start this season, and the right-hander held the AL's top hitting team to just two runs and seven hits in six-plus innings.
David Murphy homered in the seventh inning for the last-place Indians, who have pulled two games closer to the Tigers and can sweep the three-game series Wednesday.
Torii Hunter and Alex Avila homered for Detroit, which has lost two straight road games after winning 11 in a row.
In the second, the Indians collected three doubles and two singles off Verlander and Michael Bourn caught Detroit's infield napping and stole third.
The unexpected outburst began with a base-running blunder as Carlos Santana singled off Miguel Cabrera's glove at first but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Nick Swisher doubled and Verlander walked Yan Gomes before Aviles lined his two-run double into the gap in left-center.
Bourn followed with a double off the wall in right to score Aviles and Cleveland's leadoff hitter alertly swiped third without a throw. Asdrubal Cabrera's RBI single made it 4-1 and brought Tigers pitching coach Jeff Jones out to visit Verlander, who allowed a season-high 11 hits in six innings.
'Really, the first four innings, they really hit the ball well,' Verlander said. 'After the second, I just tried to throw up some zeroes, but by that point, the damage had been done.'
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus wasn't surprised to see the 31-year-old Verlander shake off his poor inning and blank the Indians over the next four to keep it close.
'Justin had a little trouble with his command early, which led to that one bad inning,' Ausmus said. 'But he was able contain the damage, which is why he's Justin Verlander. He's been very good for years.'
Even though his team was up by four runs, Indians manager Terry Francona knew Verlander wasn't going to give in.
'We worked him real hard,' Francona said. 'He'll stay out there all day.'
The Indians were anxious to see how the head-strong 23-year-old Bauer, with the unorthodox warm-up routine and blazing fastball, would perform against a lineup featuring the likes of Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Hunter. Bauer has been dominating minor league hitters at Columbus, and had never faced any hitters of this caliber.
He was more than up for the challenge.
'It was tough because we hadn't seen him before,' Ausmus said. 'He throws hard, has a good curve and slider.'
Bauer held Hunter, Cabrera and Martinez to a combined 2 for 8, and he was helped by two double plays - one that ended a Detroit threat in the sixth.
Nick Castellanos was initially ruled safe on a fielder's choice, which would have put runners at first and third and the Tigers down three. But Indians manager Terry Francona challenged the close play at first, and the umpires reviewed the video and overturned their call, resulting in an inning-ending double play.
NOTES: Cabrera is batting .442 (19 of 43) during his 11-game hitting streak. ... Ausmus said the team was never close to adding free-agent SS Stephen Drew, who re-signed with Boston. 'It really wasn't discussed internally,' Ausmus said. 'I am very satisfied with my shortstops.' ... Detroit has not lost three straight games this season. ... RHP Max Scherzer (6-1) faces Zach McAllister (3-4) in Wednesday's matinee finale.

Celebrities seem to do separation and divorce so easily, don't they?
I have been reading about Katie Price's latest marriage breakdown this week and how she is to file for divorce from Alex Reid and possibly move to the US. Then there's Halle Berry, reportedly pulling out of a film to fight her ex-partner for custody of their daughter.
How many of us mere mortals can take months off work to deal with our domestic issues? Or plot a move to another country once free of a dead relationship?
Although any breakdown is sad - particularly when there are children involved - there is one thing that makes these showbiz splits just that bit easier, isn't there? Money.
My solicitor told me this week that a court case to sort out my separation could cost anywhere between £5,000 and £15,000. I was still recovering from the shock of potentially having to cough up half of £15,000 when he added: each.
I had already spend a fortnight weighing up the pros and cons of using the solicitor just to write a few letters at around £300 an hour. The thought of spending thousands was not only galling (not to mention impossible) financially, it was also pretty horrible: how could we have got to the stage where a judge in a courtroom makes the decisions on what is best for our family?
Fortunately, it isn't going to get to that point, because we are trying to sort it all out ourselves, with minimum input from our solicitors, but it has made me think - how many women stay in truly dreadful relationships because they can't afford to get out, and conversely, how many people with more money than sense just marry and procreate at will, knowing they can always buy their way out when they've had enough?
What do you think?
Did you separation or divorce ruin you financially?
Do you think people stay in relationships because they can't afford to leave?
