The proposal improves this situation. Right now we would cancel all queries, not just the ones looking at the busy table. > Or have I missed something that protects > against that? At your suggestion, I previously added a feature, described in docs: "It is also possible to set vacuum_defer_cleanup_age on the primary to defer the cleanup of records by autovacuum, vacuum and HOT. This may allow more time for queries to execute before they are cancelled on the standby, without the need for setting a high max_standby_delay." vacuum_defer_cleanup_age delays globalxmin by a fixed number of xids. That is fairly crude and so the proposal here is to add a finer-grained conflict resolution, please read on. > The bigger problem with this is that I don't see any way to tune this > to have a safe replica.

In this setup you're going ahead > with cleanup records which may or may not be safe and then have no > recourse if they turn out to conflict. Attempting a full analysis... An example of current and proposed behaviours, using tables A, B and C T0: An AccessExclusiveLock is applied to B T1: Q1 takes snapshot, takes lock on A and begins query T2: Q2 takes snapshot, queues for lock on B behind AccessExclusiveLock T3: Cleanup on table C is handled that will conflict with both snapshots T4: Q3 takes snapshot, takes lock on C and begins query (if possible) T5: Cleanup on table C is handled that will conflict with Q3 Current: At T3, current conflict resolution will wait for max_standby_delay and then cancel Q1 and Q2. Q3 can begin processing immediately because the snapshot it takes will always be same or later than the xmin that generated the cleanup at T3 (*). At T5, Q3 will be quickly cancelled because all the standby delay was used up at T3 and there is none left to spend on delaying for Q3. (*) is obviously a key assumption. Proposal1: Conflict resolution will not wait at T3 at all and Q1 and Q2 will continue towards completion. At T5, Q3 will be cancelled without much delay, as explained for current. Proposal1 seems better than current situation. Taking up your point about timing delays, if the sequence of actions is T6: Q4 takes snapshot T7: commit of transaction that advances xmin T8: Cleanup on table C handled without delay T9: Q4 takes lock on C and cancels then yes, Q4 is cancelled without a delay. There is a possible race condition that would allow this, but in the vast majority of read committed queries this would be a small window, since T7, T8 are seldom adjacent in WAL, whereas T6, T9 are typically very fast. If the race does occur then the effect is not incorrect query results, just a query cancelled earlier than we would ideally like it to have been. A slight modification to the proposal would be to check for conflicts based upon the snapshot first, wait, then check for lock conflicts before cancelling, rather than the other way around. That closes the timing window you've pointed out, at least as far as max_standby_delay. Call that Proposal2. The first example would then result like this: Proposal2: Conflict resolution will wait at T3; Q1 and Q2 will continue towards completion because there is no lock conflict. At T5, Q3 will be cancelled without much delay, as explained for current. So almost identical outcome in the typical case, but Proposal 2 doesn't cancel queries early in some cases. In summary: * Current: Q1, Q2 and Q3 are cancelled. * Proposal1: Q1, Q2 continue until completion. Q3 is cancelled, with roughly same delay as in current proposal. * Proposal2: Q1, Q2 continue until completion. Q3 is cancelled, with roughly same delay as in current proposal, though consistent handling in all, not just typical cases. So Proposal2 wins, though problems still possible. AFAICS the faster a table generates cleanup records, the shorter the window of opportunity for queries to run against it without conflict on Hot Standby. The worst case is a single row table being updated constantly by short transactions, which will generate a rapid stream of cleanup from WAL. The only simple solution in that case is to pause the standby entirely while queries complete. That option has been removed during review to allow the remainder of the patch to proceed, though clearly needs to be replaced. I don't think I've solved every usability issue and I think this needs to go to Alpha to get better feedback on that. More ideas welcome. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com

… early europeans ate their dead. the chinese and mexicans didn't. begs the question: what is american food?
Best Answer
Have you ever seen the kitchens in Mexico? I only say that in that you say real Mexican food.
Best Answer
Tell me what you saw.
Best Answer
The Chinese food you eat is not the same thing as Chinese food in China and Taiwan...so they are already Americanized...
Best Answer
There are many Mexican and Chinese Americans, so yes.
Best Answer
Like it already is, like go into any, like ethnic village... like.
Best Answer
I think they already are...we eat them both as often as anything else...a lot of what passes for ethnic food here isn't very authentic...we make Mexican, Chinese and Italian at home a lot...

Enough is enough! I came down with a cold when in Branson a month ago -- my first in 4 - 5 years. It morphed into a cough, which is standard for me. I seemed to have gotten over it, and then got sick again. Doc says it's allergies, but I don't "do" allergies, at least not usually. Now he's decided I might have a secondary infection so I'm on antibiotics. In the meantime my sides hurt from coughing, and I feel really wimpy. Also not something I "do". Pits!
Why am I writing this here? I have no earthly idea except I want to complain to someone. I know lots of people are down with bad allergies this year, and I have to say I am gaining a renewed respect for people who battle this for months on end. I don't like it. I don't like it at all!
Brigit-Carol, I hear you. It is the pits to get something that you normally don't get, but then to have it come back and bite you again is just a bit too much. I hope the Doctor gave you something to quiet the cough, at least at night. I went thru a period something like yours, and it didn't let up til after the Doc gave me something to at least quiet the cough at night so I could get some rest.. Hope you are feeling tip-top soon. Ginny
Complain away Brigit, we're here for you. It is the pits to get a cold and have it turn into that dreaded cough that hangs on forever. Feel better, my friend. (((((HUGS)))))
Millbury, MA
I'm sorry Brigit, sending feel better prayers your way
gini in north idaho
Sorry to hear you are feeling miserable. Even if you are not allergic to it, pollen is so bad this year that even those without allergies to organic materials (tree/weed pollens) are having a difficult time which then is turning into infections in throat and sinus'. I do not have organic allergies but everything else bothers me (chemicals) but pollen is still driving my nose and lungs crazy. Hang in there and hopefully it will be over soon.
feel better soon. I know asthma gets me down at times.
Quilting My Rainbow
Brigit, you feeling any better? I figured that beautiful new machine you got would cure you! Have you tried her out yet?
Feel better! I really know what you are going through. I just read a book about "Sick and Tired of feeling sick and tired" I just can't seem to get rid of a sinus and bronchitis infection. Just keep after your Dr. and get some relief.
Brigit-Carol. I sympathize totally. I think I just got over something like that. Started out as a headcold;then went to my chest. There were times I could hardly breathe; chest finally loosened up and back to my head and then my sinuses. I took various allergiy and cold medications, and Mucinex (which is the only thing that really worked as it helped loosen up my chest). I was ready to go to the doctor but didn't feel well enough to take myself. So hang in there. In time, it will go away when it is good and ready. (Encouraging aren't I LOL)
Brigit Carol,
I'm sorry to read that you're not feeling all that good right now. Complaining comes natural when you're feeling awful long enough. I never just to complain until I had surgery in 2012. It would be wonderful IF we could turn the clock back and make a better choice, or avoid going to that one place. But since it's not possible we people complain from time to time. I wish you a speedy and full recovery.
Sorry you're under the weather, Brigit-Carol. Hope the cold/allergies clear up fast.
Try having allergies, asthma AND pollen in the 4000 and higher numbers. Then throw in "controlled burns" by the forest service in a circle around us. Talk about can't breathe! I don't do Spring very well. Not to worry, ladies, this too shall pass.
I'm right there with you between my 14 different medications and Lupus am in a constant fog.
First, let me apologize. I am not saying none of you has a right to feel awful. I have debated for a long time about writing this. It bothers me when anyone says they are "tired of being sick." Twenty years ago, after not being able to work for a year due to serious health problems, my husband said he was so tired of being sick. He died that night from heart failure. Then, after five years of congestive heart failure, coding twice, and going through prostate cancer, my wonderful boyfriend said he was tired of being sick. He died less than a month later. So, please, just don't ever say that you are tired of being sick. Again, my apologies to everyone.
Carol, I can totally understand your wariness of "tired of being sick". My former mother-in-law made that remark to my ex and she died a week or so later. Then my mom said much the same and she too died shortly thereafter. My sons lost both grandmothers within three months, eight years ago and I miss them both every day. Isn't it sad that a simple remark can have such an adverse impact on those of us left behind?

4. End-of-Software Support Statements
A. Table of Integrated Bug Fixes in the Solaris 10 Operating System
This section provides important information for users of iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 who are upgrading to the new Solaris 10 release.
Sun Java System Directory Server 5 2005Q1 replaces iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 that was integrated in the Solaris 9 Operating System. In Solaris 10 OS, this new Directory Server can be installed as part of the Sun Java Enterprise System.
Note - For information about the Sun Java System Directory Server 5 2005Q1, refer to the documentation for the Sun Java System at http://docs.sun.com.
Solaris 10 OS continues to support Directory Server 5.1. You might need to install Directory Server 5.1 under the following circumstances:
You need to recover Directory Server 5.1 data.
You want to migrate your data to Directory Server 5 2005Q1.
In Solaris 10 release, you install the Directory Server 5.1 manually. Follow these steps:
Insert the Solaris 10 Software - 4 CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Become superuser.
In a terminal window, install the Directory Server.
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product/ # pkgadd -d . IPLTnls IPLTnspr IPLTnss IPLTjss IPLTpldap \ IPLTdsr IPLTdsu IPLTadmin IPLTcons IPLTadcon IPLTdscon \ IPLTadman IPLTdsman
To install Simplified Chinese localization packages, issue the following additional command:
# pkgadd -d . IPLTcdsu IPLTcadmin IPLTccons IPLTcadcon \ IPLTcdscon IPLTcadman IPLTcdsman
To install Japanese localization packages, issue the following additional command:
# pkgadd -d . IPLTjdsu IPLTjadmin IPLTjcons IPLTjadcon \ IPLTjdscon IPLTjadman IPLTjdsman
After installation is complete, configure iPlanet Directory Server 5.1. Refer to Chapter 11, Sun ONE Directory Server Configuration, in System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).
Caution - The database formats of the two Directory Server versions are incompatible. Thus, if you are a Directory Server 5.1 user, Sun recommends that you migrate your database to a database that is formatted for the Sun Java System Directory Server 5 2005Q1.
To perform a migration, both versions of the Directory Server must exist in the system that has been upgraded to the Solaris 10 OS. If you are a DS 5.1 user, but are using the compressed archive (.tar.gz) delivery format, you can skip immediately to the migration instructions in Step 2.
On a terminal window, check whether iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 packages are present in your system.
$ pkginfo | grep IPLT
If the following packages appear as output, then you can go to Step 2 to proceed with the migration. The output indicates that the iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 packages are in the system.
system IPLTadcon Administration Server Console system IPLTadman Administration Server Documentation system IPLTadmin Administration Server system IPLTcons Console Client Base system IPLTdscon Directory Server Console system IPLTdsman Directory Server Documentation system IPLTdsr Directory Server (root) system IPLTdsu Directory Server (usr) system IPLTjss Network Security Services for Java system IPLTnls Nationalization Languages and Localization Support system IPLTnspr Portable Runtime Interface system IPLTnss Network Security Services system IPLTpldap PerLDAP $
If the packages do not exist, then install the iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 packages first. Refer to the 4-step procedure in the preceding section Installing Directory Server 5.1. After installation is complete, go to Step 2 to proceed with the migration.
Migrate your iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 database to the current version. For instructions, refer to the documentation collection for the Sun Java System Directory Server at http://docs.sun.com/coll/DirectoryServer_05q1.
After migrating your data, make sure you continue to back up directory data in the same way as you backed up directory data before migration. Future disaster recovery might require the migrated database.

Harry Styles might be dating 33-year-old Kimberly Stewart, but he still makes times for the fans!
When the One Direction boy-bander stepped out of his Netherlands hotel Friday, he was met by scores of excited 1D devotees. And Harry, 19, looked more than happy to sign autographs, snap selfies, give hugs and everything in between to his adoring Directioners.

After this impromptu meet and greet, Mr. Styles was excited to dig in to a delicious-looking club sandwich. (He even Instagrammed it!) But alas, the meal was sub-par. Harry posted another Instagram photo of the now half-eaten sandwich, lamenting, "That wasn't great."
He'd better eat something before nightfall, though! Harry—along with Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson—are performing in Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome. They've asked all their fans to wear orange because as Liam notes, and as we remember from the queen's recent abdication, it's Holland's national color.
And…you're welcome for the play-by-play of Harry Styles' day.

Okay, If you make too much of a racket in the backlotin Molotov party, a whole bunch of people come out and try to kill you. So here is what you do: #1 When you enter the backlot take out your baseball bat and hold right trigger until the bar is red. When it is red hit the guy in the back. When no police are looking take his gun. #2 go back out the gate you came from. Take out a molotov and walk into morello's bar. Throw the molotov at one of the gangster groups. Then throw the other molotov at the other group. Take out any stragglers with your pistol. No go back and destroy all the cars. Then open the shed and a falconer will be inside. Paulie will get in the other car and drive way in it.

Ok, first i just want to say, this is A LOT different from the other one, first (once you arrive at the place of course) you go around the back gate and knock out the guy in the white standing there (just use a fully charged punch behind him), ext, rain own molotives and RUN! All of the cars should go uot in flames, but a couple of gangsters might come out, drive to the bar and mission complete!

On ordinary routine when you reach the motel you go around back take out the guy on the toilet then you will see a few doors. Take the first door to your right. In there you will get a machine gun and if needed a health box. These will prove invaluable on the down stairs.

On the level where u go to morelles bar and destroy the three cars. Well when u get close you see a kind of big path on your left well park your car there and you will sea passage way. Go through there and on your right there is a gate that enters behind the bar. Well get your baseball bat and make the bar fully red and keep it like that. Then walk behind the guy guarding the front gate and wake him one. Now throw one of the bombs u got just between 2 cars one should blow up and another little damage. Now when u destroy all 3 cars go to the garage in the area where u destroy the car take the car in the garage very quick especially if the others are after u now u don't have to worry about paulie coz once u get the car in the garage he automattacliy gets in the car u came in and he drives it back to solleris bar.
Xbox | Submitted by Joey MorelloHint MISSION 4: Ordinary Routine
In this mission when you get to Clark's Motel you will see a yellow convertible right next to where you start. Before you enter the motel shoot at the center bolts of the wheels on the car. This knocks off the wheels of the car so that when the last gangster tries to flee with your money he can't drive anywhere, leaving you with an easy gunfight.

PS2 | Submitted by spankey_619How to Beat the Car Destroying Mission
To beat this mission first park your car in the alley behind the bar. Put the car right by the entrance to the fenced gate. (park it facing the road and with the drivers side facing the alley.) Now go in the gate and behind the man in the white outfit and kill him with either a punch, or hit him with the bat. Then go to the car that's in the top left corner. Hit this car until it says: you've done enough damage, then run to the gate you came through turn and face the remaining cars and through cocktails at them both. Don't wait at all, head straight to your car (the cars will blow up in a matter of time if hit by a cocktail.) Then drive back to Salieri's and your done!!!
PS2 | Submitted by jameel a.12th Mission Help
Okay this mission took me a long time to beat here's the thing there is a sniper on a red tower near the 2 hangers and the storage lockers. Now there's a fence around it so you cannot climb up the ladder but aim up and shoot !!! after that its smooth sailing except for the gangsters in the 1st hanger but you should have already killed those mother loving crackers. anyways go straight ahead you'll see frank but turn left and you will see dude with a tommy gun shoot him then see frank. after he told you what had happened go kill the 2 guys standing in front of the building where you will find franks family. go inside kill the guy in the phone booth and talk to franks family and if you've done what ive said then there should be no gangsters left go get their plane tickets in the building where you started from go back and give them the tickets.

PS2 | Submitted by Tommy AngeloHow to be launched to your death
In the mission "Visiting Rich People" tell Salvatore to stay near the nook in the beginning. You will see an arrow pointing to a box that can shut off the power for the out side lights. If you want it to work leave it on. With your Colt .45 fire a shot to get the guards attention, or be seen just any thing to get the guards attention. Usually the guards don't hurt you if you are in punching reach. If you are good all of the guards will come around you. When they are punch one of them. This isn't guaranteed to work every time, but if you did it right you will be shot by a guards shotgun, and Tommy will be launched into space, and you will get a game over. Make sure there are guards behind, and in front of you, and if you did it right it will work.

|[en] BBB locomotor rating scale ; locomotor recovery ; spinal cord injury ; treadmill training
|[en] Locomotor training on a treadmill is a therapeutic strategy used for several years in human paraplegics in whom it was shown to improve functional recovery mainly after incomplete spinal cord lesions. The precise mechanisms underlying its effects are not known. Experimental studies in adult animals were chiefly performed after complete spinal transections. The objective of this experiment was to assess the effects of early treadmill training on recovery of spontaneous walking capacity after a partial spinal cord lesion in adult rats. Following a compression-injury by a subdurally inflated microballoon, seven rats were trained daily on a treadmill with a body weight support system, whereas six other animals were used as controls and only handled. Spontaneous walking ability in an open field was compared weekly between both groups by two blinded observers, using the Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale. Mean BBB score during 12 weeks was globally significantly greater in the treadmill-trained animals than in the control group, the benefit of training appearing as early as the 2nd week. At week 7, locomotor recovery reached a plateau in both animal groups, but remained superior in trained rats. Daily treadmill training started early after a partial spinal cord lesion in adult rats, which accelerates recovery of locomotion and produces a long-term benefit. These findings in an animal model mimicking the closed spinal cord injury occurring in most human paraplegics are useful for future studies of optimal locomotor training programs, their neurobiologic mechanisms, and their combination with other treatment strategies.

Joe has tried tons of different investing strategies, but his favorite two have always been
Lease Options & Wholesaling. When he got tired of spending over $3,000 a month in marketing for his wholesaling business, and throwing away so many leads from unmotivated sellers, he knew there had to be a better way. That's when he came across the special niche he calls "Wholesaling Lease Options". As soon as he started implementing his simple, unique system, within 3 months his part-time income quickly surpassed his full-time income. Needless to say, he quickly left his job and has never looked back.

I shared this video on the Facebook page a few hours ago and it appears this video makes some readers upset.
There was an angry face reaction almost immediately, and a bit of a war in the comments section. I think most people just saw it for wat it was, simply a dog doing a trick.
Funny, because you don't hear about it when a dog balances a treat or other object, but I suspect it's the fact that it is beer in the glass.
This is River, and the video is being taken at Sycamore Brewing in North Carolina. River's owner says he likes to balance all sorts of things on his head, from pizza to jenga pieces.
Can I just say..please find something serious to get upset over….. This dog is having the time of his life.

Self Leveling Flooring Underlayment
Product Announcement from KOSTER American Corporation
KOSTER VAP-1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH is a rapid curing, trowel-applied underlayment for thin-finish applications. It is a polymer modified material and may be applied onto a variety of substrates such as the KOESTER MOISTURE VAPOR MITIGATION SYSTEMS, concrete, etc. It accepts all major floor coverings and is compatible with most adhesives.
For installations onto smooth, non absorbent substrates such as KOSTER VAP-1® SYSTEMS, as well as absorbent substrates such as concrete that are properly prepared, use the VAP-1® 06 PRIMER.
LEVEL PRO-FINISH is mixed with water only and may be troweled from a feather edge up to 1/2" thick in one layer.
The VAP-1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH Trowelable Underlayment creates the perfect subfloor demanded by the next generation of today's floor covering systems. When mixed only with water to a cream like consistency all cracks, gouges, dings, and ridges become a smooth surface. VAP-1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH Trowelable Underlayment may be installed up to 1/2" thick to compensate for deeper irregularities such as thresholds etc. it results in a true ultra thin finish, repairing nearly all types of interior subflooring such as concrete, wood, terrazzo, and ceramic tile.
> No large aggregate, resulting in ultra-thin smooth finish.
> Exceptional bond-polymer modified.
> Ideal for flash patching and skim coating.
> Low in place cost due to excellent coverage.
> Rapid installation of floor covering.
> Compatible with most adhesives
> Mixed only with water.
> May be installed up to 1/2" thickness without cracking.
> No offensive odor, free from proteins.
Surface Preparation
Surfaces to receive VAP-1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH must be sound, clean and absorptive, free of curing agents, oil, grease, paint, loose particles or any other contaminant that may weaken the bond. Always use VAP-1® 06 PRIMER prior to the application of the VAP-1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH. Use the VAP-1® 06 PRIMER for smooth non-absorbent surfaces such as VAP-1® 2000, VAP-1® 2000 FS, VAP-1® pH or other non-porous substrates as well as absorbent substrates such as concrete. DO NOT ACID ETCH! Joints must be reflected and
honored through the applied underlayment. Any weak concrete surfaces must be prepared by mechanical means to obtain a sound surface. DO NOT CLEAN SUBSTRATE WITH CHEMICALS. DO NOT APPLY OVER ADHESIVE RESIDUE.
Mix only the amounts of VAP-1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH that can be placed within 15-20 minutes at 70º F (21º C). Higher temperatures will shorten working time and coller temperatures will prolong it. Place 2-2 ½ qts. (1.9-2.4 L) of clean potable water into a mixing container and then add 10 lbs. of VAP-1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH, mixing to a lump-free, creamy consistency. A mechanical mixer such as a paddle and 1/2" heavy-duty drill will result in a better consistency and save time. Do not re-temper or over mix, entraining excess air. Smaller quantities should be mixed by hand.
Use a straight edge steel trowel when applying VAP 1® PRO-FINISH to a properly prepared surface forcing the material into all voids. There is no minimum thickness required. VAP 1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH may be applied from paper thin to 1/2" in one lift without cracking. However; If applied onto substrates such as KOSTER VAP 1® SYSTEMS receiving water based adhesives, a minimum thickness of 80 mils (2mm) is absolutely essential to absorb the excess water to avoid entrapment.
Substrate Priming
Do not prime substrates when surfaces are below 50ºF. Provide dry and clean surfaces. Do not install VAP-1® LEVEL PRO products without using the VAP-1® 06 PRIMER first. Apply the VAP-1® 06 Primer in a way as to avoid a heavy thick coat (refer to the VAP-1® 06 Primer data sheet) as this may result in cracks in the underlayment.
For additional information, please contact Koester American Corporation at 757-425-1206.
Flooring Installation
LEVEL PRO-FINISH is ready to receive floor coverings in approx. 20-30 minutes unless moisture sensitive adhesives are used. For moisture sensitive adhesives allow VAP 1® LEVEL PRO-FINISH to cure for a minimum period of 16 hours. Always use VAP 1® 06 PRIMER with VAP 1® PRO-FINISH in conjunction with KOESTER VAP 1® SYSTEMS.

Not content with The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, Simon Cowell is now on the search for the next DJ.
Ultimate DJ, which has been developed by Simon's SyCo and SFX Entertainment, will launch online and asks DJs to submit recordings which the public will vote for via social media.
The competition will then move to live challenges on television.
"We have been developing this concept for a while but our partnership with SFX has been a real game-changer for this format", said Simon.
He added: "It made complete sense for us to collaborate with SFX with their access to the best up-and-coming DJs and their great marketing platform to build new DJ talent."

Hi this is a real brain teaser and I have run out of Ideas
The Inspiron 5150 seems to work perfectly except it will only go into Windows safe mode.
I have run the Dell diagnostics check and it tells me everything is working OK
Also on installing win XP Pro SP 3 it gets as far as the devices section and the time bar freezez on every try.
Taking the drive out into another 5150 the HDD boots up into Windows XP Pro Dual Boot and works fine right away and I have cross checked the following with another Inspiron 5150 and they all work fine
Re flashed Bios to A38 as listed on the site as it was A34 and I think someone may have fiddled with it before as when I tried to load the Bios .exe file in windows safe mode it didnt allow me as it said it wasnt connected to a battery or adapter which it was and it referred me to Sam Wong/Anthony Chi in London SW!!!!
Question:- I havn't substituted a CPU. Are the clock rates pre set so the motherboard is stuck with the listed CPU speed 2.8 or can another speed be inserted eg 3.06, 2.6 etc
It sees the charger fine
It charges the battery fine
USB ok
If anyone has got any ideas I would be pleased to try them its a real brain teaser and any comments on the cpu would help.
Also I have serviced the laptop, cleaned the cooling fan/fins (it was filthy) put on new heat conductive paste between the cpu and copper heat sink pad but nothing prevewnts the fault so far, very frustrating.
If a computer runs in safe mode then you can rest assurred that the hardware is ok and you need to explore windows driver conflicts. Start by checking your error logs to pinpoint any issues or codes. Have you by chance done any driver or windows updates lately? If so you may want to uninstall any recent updates and try rebooting. Good Luck.

Re: New Book by Ken Silverman
In my opinion, the primary thing that makes Houdini!!! such a great book is the fact that Kenneth Silverman is a professional biographer. With all due respect to the magicians who have tackled biographies in the past (a very difficult task indeed--and there are some very good ones out there), they simply can't hold a candle to Silverman. His research is impeccable and his suppositions are always identified as such. Even then he usually offers extenuating circumstances and evidence to support his suppositions. This is rare in many magic biographies where supposition is often presented as fact.
I would also recommend his biography on Poe (Edgar A Poe: Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance).

(A trip to see dragons in Berlin and a smoke-filled room in a hackerspace in Vienna for just one night doesn't speed up the process, either, but at least you can study the red tape thrown at you while travelling through Germany within the borders of 1938 by train.) Access restrictions are the only reason why you would physically have to go to the guy's lab to help him with IC layout and such ... like, Sunday morning at 2 AM, when such things are usually done. That's not a time you want to get out of bed, so you should arrange remote access to the whole mixed signal IC shebang you need to be fully productive while staying in bed - or, important consideration, on a couch at 2169 Mission if you happen to crash there while visiting. > then move on from there if you're still interested after that. How feasible will it be to collaborate with you folks? That's a major factor that determines how interested I am. Christoph <- more a sourcerer than an apprentice.

|Sullivan > Reminiscence by George Grossmith
HAVE been invited to write a few of my own personal reminiscences of the incomparable Arthur Seymour Sullivan. I have read so many brilliant and touching descriptions of his extraordinary career and genius, by our most able critics, that I feel nothing more can be said. Yet in my own heart I conscientiously feel that it is impossible to say too much of him. As our foremost English composer, his works — especially the Light of the World, the Martyr of Antioch (a glorious inspiration), and the Golden Legend — will be sung and praised in years to come, when we are gone and forgotten.
Many of his songs will live — as still lives the "Adelaïde" of Beethoven — who was not even appreciated in his time, any more than was the youthful poet Keats. Sullivan was appreciated in his lifetime, but will be more so in many years to come.
It is not, however, in my province to speak of his works, but only to speak of a kind-hearted gentleman as I knew him personally and who was the means of changing my own career in life. It was quite beyond my power to express my deep gratitude to him, and utterly impossible for me to say how much I feel the loss of one to whom I owe professionally nearly everything.
I have dropped my tear, and propose in this short remembrance of him to deal entirely with the lighter side of his nature; his humour; his wit; his hospitality and home life.
I had met Sir Arthur's brother, Fred Sullivan, when he played in Cox and Box, at the Gaiety Theatre. He was afterwards the first and incomparable Judge in Trial by Jury. I was reporting at Bow Street at the time, and he would often drop in to hear a case, as did Irving, Toole, George Belmore, and other well-known actors; and Fred Sullivan and I became as good friends as is the case now with his son Herbert Sullivan, who is practically the adopted son of our late English Master, to whom I had then no opportunity of being introduced. I had sung "From Rock to Rock" (Contrabandista), and had sung songs and duets front Cox and Box as an amateur, and my great ambition was to be introduced to the composer. The chance came.
About 1875 or 1876 I was asked to play one of the jurymen in Trial by Jury, to be given at a benefit matinée. After one of the rehearsals at the old Haymarket Theatre, knowing the late Arthur Cecil to be a great friend of Sullivan, I begged for an introduction. I was a budding and extremely amateurish entertainer of the John Parry school, but Sullivan was kind enough to say that he had heard of me, and hoped to hear me himself. One cannot realise what that means to a beginner.
At last "Society" for some reason or other, began to open its exclusive gate and let me in by inches. Without being ungrateful to Society, I could not help thinking that in those days I was admitted because it could rely upon me for a gratuitous song. But I had my reward! I frequently met Arthur Sullivan. That was sufficient reward. Arthur Sullivan was amused at my work at the piano, and whenever an opportunity occurred he most generously placed me to the greatest advantage. The great chance came. Arthur Sullivan and I were dining at the late Lady Sebright's, and he insisted on my returning to his flat, at 9, Albert Mansions. His great friends Frederic Clay and Alfred Cellier, the composers, were present. We all played and sang till the dawn had far advanced. In November 1877 came to me the well-known letter from Sullivan asking me to play in the Sorcerer!
By appointment I went to Albert Mansions, and Arthur Sullivan sat at the piano with his inevitable eyeglass and cigarette, and he sang the patter song"My name is John Wellington Wells." He said, "Can you sing that?" I had the impertinence to say, "I think I can "
That was the beginning of a twelve years' engagement with Gilbert and Sullivan, under the management of my ever esteemed friend D'Oyly Carte at the Opera Comique, and subsequently at the newly built Savoy, the first London theatre illuminated by electric light.
At the house of Sir Arthur's sister-in-law, widow of my old friend Fred Sullivan, I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Sullivan, the mother of these two clever young men of whom she was so proud. She was so sweet and so gentle, that it was quite easy to see from whom Arthur S. Sullivan inherited his charm of manner, his extreme modesty, and his kindness.
But it was as a host himself that he excelled par excellence. He did not seem to mind whether he was host, hostess, or servant. At his evening parties at 1, Queen's Mansions — to which he moved — he always tried to be nobody, but succeeded; without effort, in being everybody.
He was in great personal favour with H.R.H. the Prince, and an intimate friend of the late Duke of Edinburgh (Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), and whenever they dined with him — which they often did — he always prepared an after-dinner programme. I do not suppose any one ever refused Arthur Sullivan's invitations, and no artist refused to sing for him. After dinner the programme began rather seriously. Albani would sing, Edward Lloyd, Tosti, Eugene Oudin, and many of the principal Italian opera singers; and Mrs. Ronalds — with all due respect to the profession of vocalists — would occasionally sing "The Lost Chord" in such a manner and with such heart as I have never heard that everlasting song sung before or since.
Then followed the humorous element. Rutland Barrington, my brother Weedon, then an artist, and occasionally an amateur actor; were several times called upon to do a special "turn." We three generally played some nonsensical piece which had been done at the annual Christmas juvenile parties at my house. These pieces were after the fashion of Henry J. Byron's back drawing-room burlesques. It was fun to us, fun to the Royal and other guests, and fun to the accompanists, who were either Arthur Sullivan, Frederic Clay, Alfred Cellier, or his brother François.
On one occasion Sullivan wrote to ask me if I would drop in that evening — "only a small party." I dressed as quickly as I could after playing my part in one of his operas at the Savoy, took a two-wheel cab and "dropped in" just before midnight. The Prince of Wales was there, the piano was wedged into a corner window, and a large standard oil lamp stood close to the bass keys of the instrument. There was scarcely a yard of room. Quite enough for an accompanist, but not enough for me. I felt very nervous, and asked Arthur Sullivan if the piano could be shifted out a bit? He seemed to revel in my temporary misery, and made some remark about the piano's feelings — that it would feel hurt if it were disturbed.
I replied, "Well, I'll do my best. What would you like me to do?"
Sullivan said, "Do what you like — but don't knock over the lamp!"
He was a most excellent raconteur, and brimful of humour. He occupied a box one night at the Savoy during the run of Patience. I was playing Reginald Bunthorne, with a terrible face-ache. My left cheek was so swollen that it resembled a small pumpkin, and I was in great pain. He came round to my dressing-room between the acts, and said "I'm sorry to hear you are in such pain." I replied that I did not mind the pain, but felt that I looked such an awful sight!
Sullivan answered, with his usual genial smile, "Not at all, my dear G. G.: I assure you it is a great improvement. You never looked better."
In these little experiences I am making no effort to be chronological, but just relating facts and incidents as they occur to me at the moment. During my twelve years' association with him on the stage in his comic operas in conjunction with W. S. Gilbert — the finest librettist of our time — I found him most courteous even to the humble members of the company. He had reason frequently to complain, but his complaints were kindly expressed. He was very strict, but always gentle. Naturally the ladies and gentlemen of the chorus were not always infallible. Arthur Sullivan detected a wrong note in a moment, but he seemed rather to delight in the fact that my old friend Rutland Barrington and I were the worst of the lot. Barrington invariably invented his own tune while I sang no time at all. I am speaking of the rehearsals when our music was first handed to us.
This generally ended in a private séance — as Sullivan termed it—at his own home, where we were privately corrected and coached by our composer: a courteous act, which saved correction before the rest of the company.
The first band rehearsal of a new opera was a trying ordeal. How we all -dreaded it! We generally felt pretty well at home with the pianoforte, but when it came to the band, with Sullivan's marvelous orchestration — tunes, words, everything went out of our heads. Flutes suddenly seemed to be having a lark in the treble, clarinets spasmodically caroused in the middle, and the bassoon was enjoying himself now and then most humorously in the bass. We used to roar with laughter at the orchestration of some of these numbers, as much as we were silenced with respect and admiration for others of his beautiful work. He had a knack of cutting up the rhythm of the verses of Gilbert, which now and then almost perplexed the famous author.
If you read Sullivan's musical interpretation, it runs:—
Sullivan used to be sometimes as innocently pleased with a newly composed number, which he brought under his arm to a rehearsal, as a child with a new toy. He came down one day with that beautiful sextette in Patience, and remember his saying to the singers, "I think you will like this. It is Dr. Arne and Purcell at their best." The singers did like it, and moreover were much touched by the sweet effect of the pure harmonics. A chorus gentleman came me quite grieved, and on my asking him what was the matter, replied, "It's positively wicked to put a beautiful thing like that into comic opera." The man, who had sung in choirs and other places, was absolutely upset.
Sir Arthur Sullivan's infinite variety was marvelous, and it takes a strong head to realise that the Master who wrote "Wreaths for our graves the Lord hath given," could cast away for a time his beautiful and religious sentiment, and — when called upon — could produce "The Ruler of the Queen's Navee," or "The threepenny 'bus young man." Sullivan was a humorous musician to his finger
tips, but finger tips had nothing to do with his work. It was there that one
I will not deal with his love and kindness to his family, whom he never forgot. He was devoted to his nephew Herbert, who, I remember, came to one of my organised juvenile parties in his "Bluecoat suit." A dear little chap, with all tile charm of his uncle. But Sir Arthur went as far as Los Angeles — away west — to see the widow and children of his beloved brother Fred. Few relations do this sort of thing nowadays.
Let me return to my old love "The Savoy." Sullivan, as every one knows, was fond of a parody, in his finales, of the old- fashioned Italian Opera. Sir Augustus Harris once said to me — "Arthur Sullivan is killing Italian Opera!" Sir Augustus still managed to pull Italian opera out of the mire, and place it on a German and French pedestal.
At a rehearsal of one of these finales — I think it was the termination of the first act of the Sorcerer — Sullivan made us all come (including the chorus) in a crowd to the footlights, and sing with outstretched arms over the footlights, towards the gallery, à la Italian method. The principal singers were of course in front. We were unsatisfactory. Sullivan tapped his desk, and the orchestra stopped. The composer screwed his eye-glass into his eye and addressing us individually said:—
Don't you understand I want you to think you are at Covent Garden Opera, not at the Opera Comique? I want you, Miss —, to imagine you are Adelina Patti and you, my dear Grossmith, are dreadful — there is not enough Mario about you."
I saw what he meant, and exaggerated the Italian mode, and nearly fell over the footlights into the orchestra.
Sullivan with a smile said, "Ah! that's better. Capital ! Do even more. You needn't consider your safety."
This was long before the days of Calvé, Melba, and Jean and Edouard de Reszke.
At one of the band rehearsals of a new opera, Sullivan made a complaint to the chorus. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must watch me. Please look at me."
The choral part was tried over and over again. At last Sir Arthur detected an absent-minded lady paying no attention to the beat. She evidently was staring up at the roof, thinking of one who might one day be all to her. Sullivan addressed her, and said, very kindly but humorously, "If you have any any personal objection to look at me, I will not press my request, and will only ask you to look at my bâton." Nobody laughed more than the girl herself.
During a short recess in the autumn at the Savoy, about fifteen or sixteen years ago (Princess Ida was running — or rather had stopped running for a short time), Arthur Sullivan took Stagenhoe Park, near Welwyn, and kindly asked Mrs. Grossmith and myself to stay a week or so. What a delightful visit . He had a charming house-party, including some American ladies — Mrs. and the beautiful Miss Adèle Grant (I adore Americans), and I never remember a more
I said to Arthur Sullivan one day "That dear dog is vary attractive; but has he any other qualities besides fetching sticks? Is he, for instance, a good house-dog?"
"A splendid house-dog!" replied Sullivan, with a twinkle. If burglars were to enter this place and throw a stick for him to fetch, he would show them all over the premises."
Although Sullivan was supposed to be resting at Stagenhoe Park, he was working all the time. But no one ever saw him work, and it is an open secret that he worked in the late hours of the night, or rather in the early hours of the morning. He told me himself, at one of the final dress rehearsals of Iolanthe, that he had yet to do the overture to the opera — which any one can still see is an elaborate and masterly composition. He sat up till about five in the morning; never leaving his desk, and writing with an assiduity which it is almost impossible to realise.
Arthur Sullivan rested for a few
hours and sent his score off to be copied for the band. He came to the theatre
looking fatigued and extremely pale He said to me: "I've done it, but I'll
I have not often seen Sullivan write music, but I caught him one day at Queen's Mansions, and I was absolutely astonished at his rapidity.
He said, "Help yourself to a cigarette — I shan't long."
I smoked and watched: I took up a paper and tried to read; but for the life of me I could not keep my eye from his hand and pen. To an unpractised person like myself it seemed marvelous. Having only just left off reporting at Bow Street, I said. when he had finished, "Why, it's like writing shorthand!"
"Yes," replied Sullivan but it's much quicker."
I fear I was always a little worry to Sullivan and Gilbert — especially the latter but they both were most indulgent to me. In the Yeomen of the Guard I had to sing a song which I liked very much on account of the words; but Sir Arthur had introduced some awkward intervals, with a dash of chromatics, which, after a fortnight's study, I could not sing, and could not even speak through the tune — a favourite custom of mine. I always was, and always shall be, a most terribly nervous man, and I began to get frightened at the result of my interpretation of the song.
One day at rehearsal I approached Sullivan, who was both worried and flurried.
I told him that I could not
He replied that he had far more important work to do, and that I must sing the music as it stood. I asked him if it were possible for the song to be omitted? He answered that it was quite out of the question, as the words of the song were not only too good, but had great bearing on the play, which was quite true. I felt very miserable, but was determined to accept the situation.
Sullivan came down a day or two afterwards with new quartettes, trios, songs, etc. He sat at the piano and began to distribute the parts to the different singers to try over. Suddenly he said: "Grossmith! here is your song. You have been a nuisance to me, and have kept me awake all night — but here you are." He handed me the tune. It was practically the same tune, but he had cut out the awkward intervals and chromatics. The change was revelation; but I have often thought of the trouble I must have given to the kind-hearted composer.
Another instance!
At a private musical rehearsal of the Mikado at Sir Arthur's house (the principal singers and actors only) I became depressed at the now famous song "Tit Willow." I thought, as far as Gilbert was concerned, that the first verse was so much more taking than the last, which was reversing the order of things. When Sullivan played the tune on his piano, it sounded like "Easy Pianoforte Pieces for Children."
Seeing my abject look, Sullivan lighted another cigarette, and said: "I see you don't care for it, but it is a question for the general public!"
He was quite right, and I never regret having sung "Tit Willow," which I must have done with encores about two thousand times at the Savoy Theatre. Gilbert never came to see his own pieces, but relied on the report of friends if anything
went wrong. Sullivan, au contraire — came down himself. On one occasion he thought Miss Jessie Bond and others, including myself, had overdone our action
business in a charming
quartette in the second act of the Yeomen of the Guard.
He was most kind over it all, and chaffed us all as well as himself. He loved chaffing and therefore he and I were in one accord.
I love a little chaffing, but I have never been able to "score off " Arthur Sullivan. I met him at the grand stand at Ascot once (I do not often attend race-meetings), and he asked me the following question:—
"G. G., if it is not impertinent, how much do you pay the people who pass by you to say, 'There's Grossmith?'"
The greatest compliment he ever paid me was to arrange a song of mine, entitled "See me Reverse," as a waltz. Unfortunately for me, I had disposed of the copyright of the song (which was somewhat popular at the time) to another publisher who was not his. But it was a compliment, which I shall never forget.
I have spoken of Sir Arthur Sullivan as a splendid host, and his manner of getting up entertainments for his own parties; but he also organised special entertainments for his own friends. He composed the music for the Maddison Burnand farce Cox and Box, for a performance at Moray Lodge, then the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis (the latter was formerly Kate Terry). That, I believe, was Sullivan's first attempt at comic opera. Apropos of Cox and Box, he once asked me if I would play in it at Mrs. Freake's (the late Lady Freake). The cast was : —
I remember, before we began, Alfred Cellier said to Sullivan, "Will you play the piano or the harmonium?"
Sullivan replied, "The harmonium. It's easier."
During the last eight or ten years I saw very little of him, for I was always abroad in the United Kingdom or the United States. Sullivan lived a great deal abroad also in later year,. The last time he was my guest was about two years ago, at a rather large evening party at the Grafton Galleries, when my children (grown up) and I played in a back-drawing-room piece of foolery entitled The Parson and the Players. I wrote the piece, and did half the musical numbers, while Paul Rubens, who had just left Oxford, did the rest. Sullivan was most amused and most gracious in his compliments. He often used to say of my songs, "Wherever do you get your tunes from?"
I think I have written enough — perhaps too much. I personally loved the man who was so good to me, who began as a Royal Chapel boy in the choir. I have wondered since if he ever anticipated that the musical portion of the most impressive service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, would consist of his own music, sung by Chapel Royal boys in their scarlet coats.
Good-bye, Arthur Sullivan! Your unfinished score still lies on your desk, but there is no one who can complete it; your pen is broken, and the music-loving world has yet to realise an irreparable loss.

Sharks know closing 1st series quickly has its benefits
Updated 11:22 pm, Wednesday, April 23, 2014
Los Angeles --
The Sharks know what's at stake Thursday.
San Jose has an opportunity to sweep an opening-round series for a second consecutive season. With it would come extra rest and the elimination of injury risk that comes with playing fewer games.
Most important, of course, is that it means advancement, and the Sharks are keenly aware of the challenge it poses.
They ended the Vancouver Canucks' 2012-13 season with an overtime win on home ice, but the Sharks will look to oust the Kings from the best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal series in Los Angeles.
No one expects it to be easy.
"Up 3-0, we know where we're at, we know it's not over," Sharks forward Logan Couture said. "We've been in this position before, so we know what to expect."
The Sharks have advanced all four times they've won the first three games of a series, but only once have they finished the sweep.
What has happened in the past does not accurately forecast the future, but it can provide a valuable lesson. Head coach Todd McLellan reminded the team during Wednesday's day off of what can go wrong when a team with a 3-0 lead doesn't quickly close out the series.
The Sharks won the first three games against Detroit in the 2011 West semis and then lost the next three before advancing with a 3-2 Game 7 victory. But with a chance to advance to their first Stanley Cup Finals, the Sharks lost the conference finals for the second consecutive season, this time to Vancouver in five games. McLellan admits the extra games against the Red Wings probably hurt the Sharks' chances against the Canucks.
Last season, San Jose swept Vancouver in the first round, then went seven before losing to the Kings in the conference semifinals.
"We've had two different experiences with a large part of this group where we didn't close them out, we went seven games, and perhaps that hurt us later," McLellan said. "Last year, (Game 4) was the Canucks' best game in the series. They pushed us as hard as they could. I expect the same thing" Thursday.
The Sharks have not only played well against the Kings, but they've avoided injury. Defenseman Justin Braun was hit by a shot in overtime Tuesday, but he's ready to go in Game 4.
"We're like every team, there are bumps and bruises floating around," McLellan said. "If you're not bumped and bruised, you're probably out. It comes with the territory."
Defenseman Dan Boyle brings another perspective to a team that has yet to win a Stanley Cup. Boyle recalled his eventual-champion Tampa Bay Lightning team needing only nine games to reach the conference finals in 2003, and he thought that was an advantage.
Tampa Bay went seven exhausting games to win the East. And it went another seven to beat the Calgary Flames, who were coached by current Kings head man Darryl Sutter.
"Having been in these situations before, you've got to put a team away when you can," Boyle said. "You don't want to give them any sign of life, any belief in (anything). You want to take it away as soon as possible."
Promising numbers
The Sharks are in great position heading into Thursday's Game 4 against the Kings. They would have to lose four games in a row - something they didn't do in the regular season - to not advance. But the team's playoff history illustrates decreasing success the longer Los Angeles is able to stave off elimination:

Mitt Romney's global warming misstep
Republicans, Tea Partiers and Libertarians are chatting on social media about former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's global warming statement in New Hampshire. Romney's campaign is still young, so he may have time to correct what I perceive as a major misstep on the trail.
Doug Powers, writing at MichelleMalkin.com, cited a Reuters story for this statement by Romney: "I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that…"
Whole books have been written by and about experts who disagree with the UN IPCC alarmist view. You won't hear legacy media quoting these experts because legacy media is in bed with the global 'warmerites.'
Wine and dine enough so-called reporters in places like Cancun and you could probably convince them the world is flat.
In recent weeks, as tornadoes swept the U.S., some pundits and reporters blamed those tornadoes on global warming. Newsweek devoted a feature to it; the story makes little sense as the website Watts Up With That? was only too happy to point out.
Dr. Roy Spencer, perpetual thorn in the side of the government-subsidized experts who rely on global warming for a living, had this to say about those tornadoes: "This is a continuation of the theme of my last 2 blog posts, dealing with the fact that a greater number of strong to violent tornadoes occur in unusually COOL years, not warm years." Spencer provides charts and graphs to support his statement.
In 2009 I provided information about UN climate guru Dr. R.K. Pachauri whose background is in railway engineering and economics. Here's what I wrote:
"Pachauri heads up an organization named TERI-NA—facilities are conveniently located on Pennsylvania Avenue. TERI-NA is a lobby group. The Telegraph said, 'TERI-NA is funded by a galaxy of official and corporate sponsors, including four branches of the UN bureaucracy; four US government agencies; oil giants such as Amoco; two of the leading US defence contractors; Monsanto, the world's largest GM producer; the WWF (the environmentalist campaigning group which derives much of its own funding from the EU) and two world leaders in the international 'carbon market', between them managing more than $1 trillion (£620 billion) worth of assets.'"
Global warmerites' head cheerleader Al Gore has no background in science either. Gore has a political class entitlement approach to making money on the backs of US taxpayers.
Romney's endorsement of a theory that has not only harmed the US image in countries where weak leaders seek the most convenient target to blame for their own failure when natural or manmade disasters (Katrina) strike suggests there are powerful people in the Republican Party eager to hand the presidency back to President Barack Obama in 2012.
Republicans, Tea Partiers and Libertarians take note: 2012 is ours to lose.
(Commentary by Kay B. Day/June 4, 2011)
*H/T to Tony Castongia in my Facebook network for sharing Romney's remarks.

Equine Coverages
Protecting your investment is the primary purpose for equine insurance. Representing only "A" rated companies and carriers allows us to obtain the best coverage at the most competitive rates and to design an insurance plan that best suits your individual needs.
Full Mortality is the most comprehensive coverage written. This policy provides coverage against death caused directly or indirectly by an accident, illness, or disease. Policies are written on an annual basis and the rate for this coverage is determined by the breed, age, use, sex, and value of the individual horse. A horse must be deemed sound and healthy for its intended use at the time of the policy's inception.
A Deductible option may be preferable for owners of large schedules of horses (usually 20 or more) for a lower premium.
Horses 90 days to 20 years of age are eligible for this coverage. Race horses are excluded from this
Restricted Perils coverage protects against death caused by fire, lightning, or transportation. Depending on the company chosen, additional Specified Perils can be added such as: explosion, windstorm, earthquake, flood, accidental drowning, accidental electrocution, attack by wild dogs, or building collapse. Theft coverage is available for an additional premium.
When purchasing a horse at public auction, or claiming a horse off the racetrack, a phone call to our office is all that is necessary to arrange Fall-of-the-Hammer or automatic claiming coverage. Some policies in force may already include an automatic additions coverage which requires notification to our office within a specified time period after purchase.
Barrenness coverage insures that a mare will be pronounced in foal. To save money, many breeders opt to purchase a "No Guarantee" stallion nomination rather than a "Live Foal Guarantee" season. The mare owner is at risk of losing the total value of the season unless a Barrenness/Prospective Foal policy is obtained. This coverage insures that the mare conceives and carries the foal full term to a pre-determined length of time after birth, (i.e. 24 hours, 7 to 45 days, or 1 year). Stallion Availability coverage insures against the intended stallion becoming unavailable to service the mare due to accident, sickness, disease, or death, per the terms and conditions of the policy.
For less premium expense, a Prospective Foal policy may be obtained separately from a Barrenness policy effective 42 days, or later, after conception, to insure the birth of a single live foal. Prospective Foal coverage is often obtained when buying a mare from public auction.
This coverage insures a newly retired stallion is able to impregnate a certain percentage of approved mares bred the first year at stud. The percentage used is usually 60% of the mares that fit into certain age and reproductive guidelines. This policy can be manuscripted to coincide with the stallion syndicate agreement requirements.

The C7, which enters production in 3Q13, boasts an all-new aluminum chassis/passenger cell structure that is 57% stiffer in torsion and 99 lb (45 kg) lighter than the previous C6 steel-and-aluminum structure, said GM engineers. At the car's world debut, GM had not yet published a production curb weight for the car. It is expected to be slightly lighter overall than the base C6 coupe's 3208 lb (1455 kg).
Besides reducing mass while increasing strength, the development team aimed to retain the Corvette's ideal 50/50 front/rear weight distribution deemed essential for superior handling.
Compared to the C6, which uses continuous hydroformed main frame rails with a constant 2-mm (0.08-in) wall thickness, the C7's main rails each feature five aluminum segments, including extrusions at each end, a center main rail section, and hollow-cast nodes at the suspension interface points. Each segment is tuned by varying wall thickness from 2 to 11 mm (0.08 to 0.433 in). This tailors each section's gauge, shape, and strength properties to optimize the structural requirements for each frame section while keeping mass to a minimum.
The frame is assembled at an all-new welding shop at the Bowling Green, KY, assembly plant using a precision laser welding process that GM claims holds tolerances to about 0.001 in (0.025 mm).
Supporting the frame's greater strength and lower weight are complementing chassis elements, including hollow-cast aluminum front and rear cradles that are approximately 25% lighter and 20% stiffer than the solid cradles used on the C6 car's structure. The steering column support is stiffened by a factor of five compared with the outgoing car using a new thin-wall magnesium casting.
C7's use of materials includes a standard carbon-fiber hood and roof panel, supplied by Plasan Carbon Composites' new Walker, MI, plant. Plasan has innovative manufacturing processes that shatter previous autoclave-type processing times, getting per-part processing down to 17-min machine cycles. For more detail, read this AEI article.
The unique balsa-wood-sandwich floor construction of the C6 Corvette has been superseded on C7 by a new carbon nano-composite floor pan that is lighter while maintaining strength and stiffness, said Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter.
C7's front fenders, doors, rear quarter panels, and the rear hatch panel are made with lighter-density sheet molding compound (SMC) than the previous generation. The door outer panel measures 1.2 mm (0.047 in) thick and the inner panel 0.8 mm (0.031 in). Combined, the body materials and their design/engineering save approximately 37 lb (17 kg) vs. the C6 body structure.
(The Corvette C7's composites program will be discussed in depth as part of a free AEI Webcast in March. Go to http://www.sae.org/mags/aei/webcasts.htm to register.)
C7 seat frames are a new magnesium structure on both the standard GT seat and the Competition Sport seat with more aggressive side bolstering.
Juechter said that the Stingray's 50/50 weight balance combined with its estimated 450 hp (335 kW) output (final SAE ratings are not yet finalized) offers the new Corvette a power-to-weight ratio that is superior to those of the Porsche 911 Carrera and Audi R8.

Guidelines For Public History Project
MA in History, Public History Option
MA Students choosing the Public History option need to complete a Public History project as their capstone requirement.This project must show evidence of research and analysis, similar to the university thesis option, but will be centered around a public history topic or product.
The final project with include:
- The historical context of the topic, including an overview of the topic (25-30 pgs)
- A discussion of pertinent historiography (6-8 pgs)
- Discussion of trends in public history pertaining to the project (4-5 pgs)
- Complete bibliography
- The project itself
The exact nature of the project will be negotiated with thestudent's advisor and the public history coordinator, and approved by the graduate coordinator.Projects may include, but are not limited to: plans for museum exhibitions, or public historical exhibitions; publications about public historical topics, written for a general audience; plans for a public project, including oral history, archival organization, cultural resource management.
Students completing the MA Project for the Public HistoryOption will register for HIST 6901.
