None of these had to deal with hundreds or thousands of cores in a single socket yet (arguably GPGPU is pushing the envelope here, and I wonder how long they'll manage to avoid going embedded memory).

The condensation will tend to be on the cold coils. However, refrigerators don't move very much heat though. A 100W lightbulb would probably overpower the refrigeration capacity.

I hadn't thought of doing this - thanks! I think I burnt a couple DIMMs this summer due to heat and would like to avoid that next year. Our dryer broke and we've been just hanging up the laundry - perhaps I could re-task the dryer outlet for a hosed AC unit. Said outlet is conveniently located near the hole in the concrete pad where the washing machine drains (I know this probably has a name, but am not all that familiar with construction vocabulary).

Pay Per Click Training & Education
One of your first considerations when deciding to launch a PPC campaign is internet marketing training and education. Each search engine has their own pay per click advertising program and way of doing things. One of the advantages of web site promotion through PPC advertising is that it is generally easy to establish an account. Simply do your keyword research, outline the benefits of doing business with you, create some ads, have your credit card handy and follow the steps. The search engines have made setting up an account very simple, although some require that ads pass editorial review before going live. However, when compared to waiting for "organic" search engine optimization (SEO) to affect your site's rankings, waiting a few days for editorial review is not really a drawback, only mildly frustrating. There are some engines though, that will post ads immediately and satisfy your need for instant gratification.
Search Engine Advertising Program Changes
Keeping up-to-date on changes as they occur can also be challenging and another reason for logging into your PPC advertising campaigns daily. The search engines are continually improving their pay per click marketing programs, adding enhancements and making changes. Be sure you subscribe to some of the many newsletters made available by experts in the search engine marketing industry. For those using Google AdWords, they have an official blog that will give you tips and insight into tools available and changes that will help you advertise your site. Another great resource is Google Alerts. Google Alerts is a free service offered by Google that sends you email notifications for topics that you are interested in and is a great way to keep on top of industry changes.
PPC Search Engine Programs
Although some PPC campaigns require editorial review before they go live, others will review ads only when an issue is brought to their attention. Even with editorial review, a pay per click marketing campaign can be active within 3-5 business days or even sooner.
Google AdWords offers some automated bid structuring which helps initially, but soon you will want to manually manage your bids. Learning how to do this will take time --looking through the forums and asking the right questions of the right people will help. Conferences like Search Engine Strategies, AdTech, Webmaster World's PubCon and eComExpo offer sessions and seminars on best practices and how to manage search engine marketing campaigns.
PPC bid management can be "tricky" in programs such as Google AdWords. Although, setting up a campaign is fairly easy managing it can be frustrating if you don't know what you are doing. Figuring out where the "sweet spot" position is for your industry and what keywords to target can be difficult. In some engines, knowing what dollar amount to set as the maximum or minimum and how it will affect your position is not always straight forward. Some things are learned by trial and error and only over time will you become a pay per click expert.
Google AdWords is considered by many to be The King of all PPC search engines. It provides sponsored listings on the Web's top portals and search engines, including AOL, Netscape Netcenter, Earthlink, CompuServe, Shopping.com, AT&T, Ask.com and others. Perhaps its best feature is the Keyword Tool which allows subscribers to see exactly how often people search for a particular word or phrase and an estimated cost per click. There is also a tool called Content Match that allows subscribers to broaden their consumer reach within G-Mail and sites that signed with Google to share PPC advertising space on their sites. Geotargeting allows you to target customers searching for local services, which is especially beneficial for small businesses that lack a large web presence but want to establish branding. Google AdWords is best suited for those willing to pay top dollar for quick results.
Yahoo! Search Marketing still maintains a large portion of the search community and should not be ignored. Yahoo offers many tools to help you manage your site including a forecast tool that will estimate the number of clicks you receive based on your maximum cost per click.
Rounding out the big three is MSN adCenter. Where adCenter differs from the competition is they encourage users to select target audience demographics that they want to particularly seek out.

Asteroid mining, even near earth asteroids would sustain civilizations, bring resources in decline on earth into abundance once again. There are practically an infinite number of asteroids in the universe, this solar system is small compared to the others, meaning that the amount of resources and energy that could be utilized far exeeds the resources and energy humans could ever try to consume!
A hemp industry is efficient and would solve so many problems, hemp products are stronger, last a lifetime and are non-toxic. Hemp plastic is biodegradable and stronger than steel! Hemp Fuel would make coal, nuclear, natural gas and other poisonous energy sources obsolete because Hemp is Superior and non-toxic.
Hemp uses less water no herbicides or pesticides. The first diesel fuel was made from oil pressed from hemp seeds. It's non-toxic, a nitrogen fixer, grows well nearly everywhere, a renewable resource, makes food, fuel, paper, rope, medicine, cosmetics, plastic, housing and much more.
Growing hemp in space will also ensure less resources are used from asteroids so all the resources won't eventually be all exhausted. Instead of wasting the water in the asteroid belt on fuel the water could be saved and used to sustain civilizations for an extended period of time.
High THC Cannabis oil cures cancers, research Rick Simpson, and watch the free documentary by Christian Laurette RUN FROM THE CURE. Cannabis/Hemp/Marijuana has always been known for thousands of years to be a cure-all.
Hemp repairs toxic soil even radioactive soil, Mushrooms repair toxic soil within months, this earth can be repaired and civilization can become civilized for once.
If cannabis was abundant, planted everywhere, the few could not control the many.

Silver Jubilee for the Endurance Rally Association
Twenty five years ago, in June 1988, Philip Young's Classic Rally Association, later to become the Endurance Rally Association, began the whole era of international historic rallying.
On Sunday June 19th 1988, The Pirelli Classic Marathon, the first ever international rally for historic-cars was flagged off from a starting-grid lined up on Tower Bridge. London's iconic landmark was specially closed for the occasion and that first event drove a seven-day route through the Alps and the Dolomites to Cortina in Italy and back to London to finish in Pall Mall at the RAC Club.
The 1st Classic Marathon was featured in an hour-long documentary on BBC2. Subsequent Classic Marathons, with Stirling Moss adding to his Alpine Cups, Paddy Hopkirk winning again in a Mini Cooper, and Timo Makinen back in a Big Healey with Roger Clark driving a Cortina to Cortina were also televised, and seen in over 80 countries worldwide.
Rallying for classic cars is now a world-wide scene that was started 25 years ago by Philip Young and his fledgling CRA team. Some of the original organising team are still here, and still working at fresh initiatives and improvements with an un-equalled track record of over 60 major international historic car rallies behind them.

Researchers have spotted a new banking Trojan subbed 'Tinba' that appears to have hit on a simple tactic for evading security – be as small as possible.
An astonishing 20KB in size, Tinba ('Tiny Banker') retains enough sophistication to match almost anything that can be done by much larger malware types.
Its main purpose is to burrow into browsers in order to steal logins, but it can also use 'obfuscated' (i.e disguised) web injection and man-in-the-browser to attempt to finesse two-factor web authentication systems.
A particularly interesting feature is the way it tries to evade resident security, injecting itself into the Windows svchost.exe and explorer.exe processes, as well as Internet Explorer and Firefox to give itself access to traffic passing through those.
The malware connects to one or more of four command & control domains on an RC4-encrypted channel.
None of this is particularly unusual as malware goes but the getting this sort of feature set out of 20kb (including all injection routines) is the work of a developer that believes size matters and the smaller the better.
Reminiscent of the old-school viruses written in x86 assembler two decades ago, low detection rates among antivirus programs suggest that the technique could herald a new wave of diminutive malware attacks.
Infection levels are unknown but banking malware is often almost invisible until it suddenly isn't as victims come to light.
"Yes, Tinba proves that malware with data stealing capabilities does not have to be 20MB of size," said Peter Kruse of the Danish security firm CSIS that first noticed Tinba.
Kruse is referring, of course, to another piece of malware being celebrated for its enormous size, Flame. Publicised in the same few days, the contrast between little and large is apt - and sobering.

Samsung hasn't wasted anytime taking advantage of Apple's problems with its Maps app in Australia. In a strange marketing campaign in Sydney, Samsung set up a muddied 4 x 4 vehicle in the city center with a tent and other camping supplies strewn around it, making it appear that the owners were lost. The news comes from [cnet] http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57558757-37/samsung-knocks-apple-maps-in-sydney-marketing-stunt/) who managed to get some pictures of the mocked up incident.
CNET Australia has snapped pics of a little guerrilla marketing by Samsung featuring a muddied-up vehicle with a tent and other camping supplies. Next to it is a sign that says, "Oops, should have gotten a Samsung Galaxy S III. Get navigation you can trust.
If you recall earlier this week, Police in Mildura, Victoria, Australia, issued a warning to motorists, cautioning them against relying on Apple's new iOS 6 Maps. This came about after receiving distress calls from motorists who had become stranded in a national park after following iOS 6 maps directions.
The ad is really just a bit of fun but it does show that Samsung will take any opportunity going to take a shot at Apple. Of course it's all a bit of a moot point now, with the release of the official Google Maps app for the iPhone; you can get the best of all worlds now!

Minnesota has received a lot of attention lately for nationally acclaimed buildings like the new Guthrie Theater, the new Minneapolis Public Library, and the Walker Art Center. One building in Minneapolis has even made the Guinness Book of World Records -- twice.
The building was first put on the map as Sound 80 Studio, where Bob Dylan recorded "Blood on the Tracks." This year, Guinness labeled it as having the "world's first digital recording studio." In 2005, Guinness called one of its rooms the "quietest place on earth."
MPR's Cathy Wurzer took a tour of this building with Steve Orfield, founder and president of Orfield Labs. He talked about his psychoacoustic research, which examines how people perceive sounds. The research involves such noise-generating products as motorcycles, dishwashers and artificial heart valves.


text: Centurion - Controversial England batsman Kevin Pietersen struck 14 runs off 18 balls when he ended his cricket exile Saturday by playing for Delhi Daredevils in a Champions League Twenty20 game.Batting at No 3 for the Indian Premier League franchise in a first round pool match at SuperSport Park, Pietersen tried an on-side pull off Brett Lee and was caught by Sunil Narine at deep mid-wicket.Pietersen managed just one four in his first appearance since being sidelined by England during a summer Test series against South Africa following a text message storm.The South Africa-born batsman allegedly criticised England teammates -- including highly respected skipper Andrew Strauss -- in texts sent to rival players.England and Wales Cricket Board chief executive David Collier later alleged in a radio interview that Pietersen was provoked into texting the South Africans, but the claim was swiftly denied."Absolute rubbish," said Cricket South Africa acting chief executive Jacques Faul while the national cricket players' association demanded that Collier apologise.Pietersen is keen to resume his international career and there has been media speculation that he may be added to the England squad for a tour of India from November."Playing cricket for England is the pinnacle of any career and I want an opportunity to do that again as soon as possible," Pietersen said after mending relations with his adopted country."Some of the proudest and best moments of my life have been in an England shirt and I want them to continue for as long as possible. I am entirely committed to completing the reintegration process."That will take place over the coming weeks and I then want to resume by England career in all formats, hopefully until the 2015 World Cup, as long as my body allows."Fast bowlers Stuart Broad and James Anderson are looking forward to the return of Pietersen, who made his Test debut for England in mid-2005 against Australia."The team have no issue with 'KP' coming back if the management decide he is ready to. It is in their hands at the moment. From a team perspective his integration will be easy," said Twenty20 skipper Broad.Anderson believes the time has come to draw a line under the Pietersen saga and focus on the challenge of tackling World Cup title holders India on the sub-continent."Hopefully we can draw a line under the whole episode and crack on with the tour of India. We want to get back to number one and need our best players to do that. Kevin is one of our best."Another England bowler, Graeme Swann, said it was disappointing that the Pietersen affair had overshadowed the final Test of retiring England skipper Strauss."He was such an unbelievable servant to our game and such a brilliant captain and for him to have his last match tarnished by the while sorry affair is a great shame for me."

O'Reilly Declares Victory In "War On Christmas," Joins Fox's "War On Easter"
Research ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
Fox News' Bill O'Reilly declared victory in the so-called "War on Christmas," joining Fox's fight to defend Easter from supposed attacks by "secular progressives." Previously, O'Reilly claimed there was no "War on Easter," crediting himself for preventing such a war.
O'Reilly Declares Victory In The "War On Christmas," Shifts His Focus To Easter
Bill O'Reilly: "We Won The War On Christmas Battle." During his Fox News show, Bill O'Reilly declared victory in the supposed "War on Christmas," before claiming that other Judeo-Christian values were under attack. O'Reilly lambasted President Obama and the White House for empowering "secular progressives" to pressure school districts around the country to decide not to use terms like "Easter bunny" and "Easter egg":
O'REILLY: More evidence that Judeo-Christian tradition is under attack in America. That is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. If you watch the Factor, you know that we won the "War on Christmas" battle. A few years ago some American companies ordered their employees not to say "Merry Christmas." Remember that? We presented the facts to you, you told the stores you wouldn't buy there. The crazy edict was quickly rescinded. Power to the people. But the war on Judeo-Christian tradition continues on in some public school districts. In 10 days it will be Easter Sunday. But in some schools you are not allowed to say the word "Easter." On Long Island, the East Meadow school district, holding a Spring egg hunt -- not Easter eggs, Spring eggs. Same thing in Prospect Heights, Illinois. Manhattan Beach, California. Flat Rock Elementary School in South Carolina, and a school district in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. No Easter. They are having Spring egg events. Moderated by a Spring bunny, at least in San Diego. I know it's stupid. You know it's stupid. But it's happening, and there is a reason why it's happening. Secular progressives are running wild with President Obama in the White House. They feel unchained, liberated and they are trying to diminish any form of religion. The goal is to marginalize religious opposition to secular programs. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 3/21/13]
O'Reilly Previously Covered The So-Called "War On Christmas" More Than Actual Wars
Bill O'Reilly Covered The "War On Christmas" More Than Actual Wars. In December 2011 and December 2012, Media Matters found that Bill O'Reilly dedicated more time on his show to the so-called "War on Christmas" than to actual wars, such as the military engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan, and recent conflicts in Syria, Libya, and Gaza.
[Media Matters, 12/19/12]
O'Reilly Joins His Network In Supposedly Defending Easter
Sean Hannity In 2011: "Shouldn't Surprise Anyone That Some On The Left Are Waging A War On [Easter]" During the April 21, 2011, edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity teased a segment on progressives supposedly waging a war on Easter. During the segment itself, Hannity claimed groups like the Catholic League were "unhappy about how much disrespect is being shown towards the Christian faith":
HANNITY: Now, Easter is one of the most important holidays for Christians. And as we are in the midst of Holy Week, some groups like the Catholic League are unhappy about how much disrespect is being shown towards the Christian faith.
The following graphic aired during the show:
[Fox News, Hannity, 4/21/11, via Nexis; Media Matters, 4/21/11]
In 2011 Fox & Friends Found Easter To Be Under Attack By A School In Australia. During the April 7, 2011, edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy reported that a school district in Australia dropped Easter from the name of a parade, calling it simply the "Hat Parade." Co-host Brian Kilmeade replied, "this is incredible, this is the War on Easter? Do we need a new graphic? Do we need a new mission?" [Media Matters, 4/7/11]
In 2011 Fox Attacked Obama For Not Writing An Easter Proclamation. Fox News host Sean Hannity and Fox Nation both attacked Obama for failing to issue a proclamation for Easter in 2011. During the April 25, 2011, edition of his show, Hannity expressed umbrage over Obama issuing proclamations for other religious holidays but not for Easter. Following Hannity's lead, On April 26, 2012 the co-hosts of Fox & Friends also took exception to the lack of a proclamation, with Doocy noting that "this White House has never had a proclamation on Easter, the most holy of Christian holidays."

O'Reilly Previously Credited Himself With Preventing A "War On Easter"
In 2006, O'Reilly Failed To Find Evidence Of "Secular Progressives" Waging A "War On Easter." During the April 13, 2006, edition of his show, O'Reilly claimed that that there was no "attack on Easter," claiming that the two examples he highlighted in previous editions of his show were "two dumb incidents." During the April 13, 2006, edition of his radio show, O'Reilly added that he prevented a "War on Easter" from occurring:
"[A]fter the thumping that the department stores and all-over crazies took over Christmas, these people say, 'You know, I don't think we want to come up against O'Reilly and these other people on Easter. Let's just let it go.' " [Media Matters, 4/17/06]

Dress for the weather and wear comfortable hiking shoes. Be sure to bring a light daypack with water, a windbreaker and lunch. Optional items for your daypack: camera and rock-climbing shoes.
Via Ferrata (Italian for "iron road") is a mountain-climbing method that lets less experienced climbers enjoy the adrenaline rush and spectacular scenery usually reserved for elite climbers. Conceived during World War I, via ferrata allowed Italian soldiers from the flatlands to move quickly through the mountains as they fought the Austrians for higher ground. Today there are over 500 via ferrata climbing routes in Europe, enjoyed by locals and tourists alike, ages 8 to 80. The "iron road" is now available in Utah with the Waterfall Canyon Via Ferrata.
The Waterfall Canyon Via Ferrata training wall and climbing routes are located on private property in Waterfall Canyon. Outfitters from Summit county, Salt Lake county, Davis county, Weber county, Utah county and Cache county have acquired, for their respective areas exclusive Via Ferrata and guiding rights in Waterfall Canyon and the surrounding 1500 acres of private land. Participating in a guided hike or climb without an authorized guide and proper equipment is dangerous and against the law. Violators will be prosecuted for theft of services, endangerment and trespass. All authorized guides are registered with an arranged by Sherpa Logistics LLC.

North America accounted for the largest market share, 43.0% of the global biocide demand in 2011. Growing industries such as food processing, paper and pulp, plastics and personal care in the region, are expected to drive the growth of biocides in the coming years. However, government regulations regarding use of biocides owing to its toxic and hazardous nature are expected to have an impact on the biocide market in the region. Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing market at an estimated CAGR of 5.8% from 2012 to 2018. Growing end-use industries such as paints and coatings and water treatment among others has been driving growth in biocide demand in the region. Asia Pacific was followed by Europe which is expected to witness slow growth compared to the other three regions.
Major market players include Albemarle, AkzoNobel, Arch Chemicals, Ashland Inc., BASF SE, Champion Technologies, Clariant AG, Lanxess, Lubrizol, The Dow Chemical Company, Thor Group Ltd and Troy Corporation among others.

Clemmons, N. C.- The Belmont Abbey men and the Pfeiffer women lead after the opening round of the 2009 Conference Carolinas Championships, hosted by Belmont Abbey at the Tanglewood Park Championship Course in Clemmons, North Carolina.
Belmont Abbey fired an opening round team score of 289 as it leads Barton by five shots. Pfeiffer (295) and Coker (296) hold down the third and fourth spots, respectively, while Anderson (301), Limestone (305), Queens (306), St. Andrews Presbyterian (307), Erskine (308), Mount Olive (311) and Lees-McRae (377) round out the standings.
Pfeiffer's Andrew Shiflet was the only player on the men's and women's side to break par, as he carded a two-under 68, leading Belmont Abbey's Peter Tarver Jones and Karan Singh by one and two strokes, respectively.
Barton holds down the second spot after its top three players all posted rounds of three over or better, as Thomas Munto Jr fired an opening round 72 to lead the Bulldog efforts.
Lees-McRae's Mike Corboy posted the only hole-in-one of the day, acing the par three, 190 yard 16th hole with a seven iron. It was the first ace in his lifetime.
In the women's tournament, Pfeiffer holds a 12 shot lead over Belmont Abbey, posting a team score of 319. It has the individual leader, as Charlene Reid fired a four over par 76, leading her teammate Lina Elmstater by one shot.
Michelle Low led the Abbey efforts with a nine over par 81 as the Lady Crusaders opened with a 331. Queens (335) holds down third, while Anderson (339), Mount Olive (353), Erskine (392) and Limestone (419) round out the field. St. Andrews Presbyterian has just three available players and they are competing as individuals, as NCAA rules mandate that a team must have at least four players to count towards the team standings.

Farm to Institution New York State (FINYS) provides new market opportunities for local farmers, while bringing healthy, high-quality food to people eating in schools, colleges, hospitals, senior centers, residential institutions and group homes.
Click here to visit the new FINYS website!
Founded in 2013 by American Farmland Trust, FINYS is a partnership of agriculture, health and economic development organizations working to increase the purchase of New York-grown foods by institutions.
FINYS helps overcome the challenges faced by institutions – such as securing an adequate supply of local food suitable for an institutional setting. It also addresses challenges faced by farmers and food businesses in overcoming the barriers and requirements of institutional food markets.
One way to save farmland is to create more economic opportunities for our farmers. When farmers make a profit they are not under pressure to sell their land to real estate developers. Our state institutions annually feed millions of New Yorkers. That's a lot of food.

For Larry King, the death of Osama bin Laden provided an awakening.
The veteran talk show host had been nudged toward the door by CNN in 2010 after 25 years of interviewing such titans as Frank Sinatra, Tom Cruise and Barack Obama. After that, King had been giving inspirational speeches in far-flung countries, doing an occasional stand-up comedy routine and taping a few TV specials for CNN. One was supposed to run on a Sunday in May 2011. King had dinner guests over that night for a viewing party.
Instead, CNN cut to live coverage following the Navy Seals' deadly raid on Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan.
"My first instinct was to run to CNN, to get on top of the story," King said last week during an interview at his Beverly Hills home. "And I missed that. Nothing beats being in the middle of the hunt, in the middle of the scene."
The event spurred the 78-year-old broadcaster back into action. A year ago, King entered a partnership with the world's richest man, Mexican telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim, who is bankrolling a new digital programming service called Ora TV. The venture currently produces just one program, "Larry King Now," which runs on Hulu, the popular online video service.
"This is a whole new world to me," King said. "I don't do the Internet, and now suddenly I'm in the middle of this."

Increasing Access to Health Care in Southeast Missouri
Community Counseling Center in Fredericktown is home to a Telehealth site, which gives patients in underserved areas access to University of Missouri Health Care specialists.
Transporting patients from the Bootheel of Missouri to Columbia for a doctor's appointment involves more than just minor discomfort for the patient and the patient's family. In addition to the emotional costs of uprooting a family from their daily lives to travel across the state, they frequently face steep financial costs – they must take off work, pay for gas, and often pay for lodging. However, with the technology made available through the Missouri Telehealth Network (MTN), patients across the state can now access University of Missouri specialists without leaving their communities.
While all states have at least one telehealth network, Missouri has one of the most developed telehealth networks in the country. The MTN started out with nine sites in 1994 and has since expanded to more than 200 sites in 56 Missouri counties. The term "telehealth" encompasses a broad definition of remote healthcare that can include medical education, patient consultations, and other services that improve healthcare but aren't considered direct patient care.
The MTN is an affiliate of the Center for Health Policy at the University of Missouri, which helps the MTN with policy issues on both the state and national level.

An hors-d'oeuvre (/ɔr ˈdɜrv, ˈdɜrvrᵊ/; French: hors-d'œuvre Template:IPA-fr, literally "apart from the [main] work") or the first course, is a food item served before the main courses of a meal, typically smaller than main dishes, and often meant to be eaten by hand (with minimal use of cutlery).[1] The French spelling is the same for singular and plural usage, hors-d'œuvre; in English, the ⟨œ⟩ ligature is usually replaced by the digraph ⟨oe⟩ with the plural commonly written hors d'oeuvres and pronounced /ɔr ˈdɜrvz/.
If there is an extended period between when guests arrive and when the meal is eaten (for example during a cocktail hour), these might also serve the purpose of sustaining guests during the wait, in the same way that apéritifs are served as a drink before meals. Hors d'oeuvres are sometimes served with no meal afterward. This is the case with many reception and cocktail party events.
Hors d'oeuvres may be served at the dinner table as a part of the meal, or they may be served before seating. Hors d'oeuvres prior to a meal are either rotated by waiters or passed. Stationary hors d'oeuvres served at the table may be referred to as "table hors d' oeuvres". Passed hors d'oeuvres may be referred to as "butler-style" or "butlered" hors d'oeuvres.
Though any food served prior to the main course is technically an hors d'oeuvre, the phrase is generally limited to individual items, cheese, or fruit. For example, a glazed fig topped with mascarpone and wrapped with prosciutto is considered an "hors d'oeuvre," whereas figs on a platter are not.
Examples of hors d'oeuvre include:
Other languages and cultures
- Antipasto (Italian) or Entrada (Portuguese) are served as hors d'oeuvre in Southern Europe.
- In the United States, Appetizers are served before a meal, and is the most common term for hors d'oeuvre. Light snacks served outside of the context of a meal are called hors d'oeuvres (with the English-language pluralization).
- Starters are served in the UK, Ireland and India, and are the colloquial term for hors d'oeuvre.
- Đồ nguội khai vị ("cold plate first course") is Vietnamese for hors d'oeuvre.
- Lěng pán 冷盘 ("cold plate"), or qián cài 前菜 ("before dish") are terms used for hors d'oeuvre in Mandarin.
- Meze, a selection of small dishes served in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Balkan cuisine.
- Zakuski are hors d'oeuvre in cuisines of Russia and other post-Soviet countries.
- 전채 jeonchae (前菜) "before dish" or 에피타이저 appetizer "appetizer" is Korean for hors d'oeuvre.
- Zensai (前菜 lit. before dish?) is Japanese for hors d'oeuvre or more commonly, ōdoburu (オードブル?) which is a direct transcription of hors d'oeuvre.
- Voorgerecht in Dutch, which means the dish ("gerecht") before ("voor") the main course.
- Pembuka (lit. "opening") is Indonesian for hors d'oeuvre.
- "moqabbelat" ( مقبلات, "things which make one accept what is to come". From root قبل lit. "to accept" ) is Arabic for hors d'oeuvre.
- Yemekaltı [2] is Turkish for hors d'oeuvre

text: Hi, It appears that the original question was about Itanium 2 (see subject line), not the first generation IA64. We've ordered a 300 processor Itanium 2 cluster based on the HP zx2000 systems. These have a chipset that was developed by HP and we've been very impressed with the performance. There is also a 'whitebox' board available from Intel but we do not have any experience with these. For distribution we've been using the redhat-7.2 for IA64 (needed a newer kernel for the HP chipset, all else works ok). We've also received a beta copy of the 'redhat linux advanced workstation for itanium 2' but have not had a chance to install it on our systems.

We used metal rails in our enclosure of 8 CPUs(about which I already posted on that list, however I don't think that the student website about it is still up) to mount the motherboards : this way, no need for a precise adjustment of the holes, only the rail spacing has to be measured carefully. We just pierced a number of large holes at the bottom of the case for vcntilation. The cluster took us about three weeks of work to build (thus the money saved on the cases was wasted here) but we learned a number of things about cooling, and we now have a valuable exhibit for lab visits and so on. The cluster has now been running fine for two and a half years : the money saved on the cases allowed us to buy excellent fans and power supplies which is not necessarily the case with cheap cases sold by assemblers. In a way the three weeks of work have been compensated by the total absence of maintenance. No ground loops problems at all ; we used a common rail to plug the power supplies. F.C.

By Diana Rocco, Andrew Kramer
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (CBS) – Officials say a two-alarm fire broke out at a rowhome in Norristown, Montgomery County Saturday afternoon and spread to seven total homes.
The fire started just after 2:30 p.m. on the 200 block of East Minor Street.
"The fire extended on either side, pretty much to the whole row," Deputy Public Safety Director John Corcoran explains.
Authorities say a 17-year-old had to jump from the third floor of one of the homes. He was taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Another person was also injured. Their conditions are unknown at this time.
Fire crews said the cold weather presented a challenge, as they had to battle the ice to put out the fire. Hypothermia is a major concern for the firefighters and for those left without a home.
The Red Cross says multiple families, 19 people total, were displaced. All of the homes involved were either destroyed or damaged.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Each connection service is multithreaded, supporting multiple connections. The threads needed for these connections are maintained by the broker in a separate thread pool for each service. As threads are needed by a connection, they are added to the thread pool for the service supporting that connection.
The threading model you choose specifies whether threads are dedicated to a single connection or shared by multiple connections:
In the dedicated model, each connection to the broker requires two threads: one for incoming and one for outgoing messages. This limits the number of connections that can be supported, but provides higher performance.
In the shared model, connections are processed by a shared thread when sending or receiving messages. Because each connection does not require dedicated threads, this model increases the number of possible connections, but at the cost of lower performance because of the additional overhead needed for thread management.
The broker's imq.serviceName. threadpool_model property specifies which of the two models to use for a given connection service. This property takes either of two string values: dedicated or shared. If you don't set the property explicitly, dedicated is assumed by default.
You can also set the broker properties imq.serviceName. min_threads and imq.serviceName. max_threads to specify a minimum and maximum number of threads in a service's thread pool. When the number of available threads exceeds the specified minimum threshold, Message Queue will shut down threads as they become free until the minimum is reached again, thereby saving on memory resources. Under heavy loads, the number of threads might increase until the pool's maximum number is reached; at this point, new connections are rejected until a thread becomes available.
The shared threading model uses distributor threads to assign threads to active connections. The broker property imq.shared.connectionMonitor_limit specifies the maximum number of connections that can be monitored by a single distributor thread. The smaller the value of this property, the faster threads can be assigned to connections. The imq.ping.interval property specifies the time interval, in seconds, at which the broker will periodically test ("ping") a connection to verify that it is still active, allowing connection failures to be detected preemptively before an attempted message transmission fails.

Vincent or Jackson (Japanese: ジュンイチ Jun'ichi) is one of the protagonists of the direct-to-TV film The Legend of Thunder!, along with Jimmy and Marina. He is a Pokémon Trainer from New Bark Town.
He has two names in the English dub. In Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver, he is known as Jackson, while in The Legend of Thunder!, his name is Vincent.
|This section does not yet meet the quality standards of Bulbapedia. Please feel free to edit this section to make it conform to Bulbapedia norms and conventions.
His starter Pokémon was Chikorita, received from Professor Elm of New Bark Town, at the same time as Jimmy and Marina received their Cyndaquil and Totodile.
Vincent has a crush on Marina. Knowing Marina admires people who wear capes, Vincent dresses up in a cape sometimes to impress her. He has also used different personae in a bid to impress her. While it is disputed whether Jackson was one, he called himself Fabu-Vinny in The Legend of Thunder!, as Marina calls Lance Fabu-Lance. Vincent sees Jimmy as a rival for Marina's attraction, which is not unfounded as QuestShipping is near-canon.
As Jackson, he first appeared in Tie One On!, where he battled Ash during the final battle of the preliminaries of the Silver Conference. The match ended in a draw, but Ash proceeded to the next round based on points, since Jackson had lost his previous match.
This article is missing information on this character's Japanese voice actor.
You can help by adding this information.
This listing is of Vincent's known Pokémon:
Meganium was Vincent's starter Pokémon, obtained by him on the same day that Jimmy got his Cyndaquil and Marina got her Totodile, as a Chikorita.
It was first seen in Tie One On! being mean to Squirtle and Bulbasaur along with Jackson's Azumarill until Harrison's Miltank used Heal Bell to calm them down. Jackson used Meganium in the Silver Conference in a battle against Ash's Bulbasaur. After a fierce battle, both Pokémon fainted resulting in a draw.

| Jackson's Azumarill's only appearance was in Tie One On! where it first appeared when an apple in a tree which Ash's Bulbasaur and Squirtle, and Vincent's Meganium and Azumarill fancied. Bulbasaur and Meganium used Vine Whip to fetch the apple, and they pulled to try to get it, but in the end, the apple snapped in half. Everyone was happy until Azumarill threw the apple at Squirtle, thinking it was funny. Squirtle was about to fight Azumarill until they stopped, but Meganium tripped Bulbasaur up and they both started to fight. Suddenly, Harrison used his Miltank's Heal Bell to calm them down.
It appeared later in the Silver Conference against Ash, and Pikachu. Azumarill started with a Water Gun and Pikachu used Quick Attack. Pikachu went for a Thunderbolt while Azumarill used Bubble Beam. It then went for Icy Wind hitting Pikachu, followed by Iron Tail. Pikachu grabbed onto its tail, however, and used Thunder, fainting Azumarill.
Azumarill's known moves are Water Gun, Bubble Beam, Icy Wind and Iron Tail.

| Jackson's Shiny Magneton made its sole appearance in Tie One On!. It proved to be very powerful and strategic. Jackson sent it out to battle Ash's Pikachu. After a long battle, Magneton finished Pikachu off with a Tri Attack, then went on to defeat Cyndaquil without a problem, before finally falling to Bulbasaur.
Jackson's Magneton is one of the few Shiny Pokémon seen in the anime.
Magneton's known moves are Tri Attack, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt and Double Team.

| Jackson's Golduck was only seen briefly on the scoreboard of the Pokémon League in Tie One On!. It didn't make a live appearance, because it was shown to have been defeated by Macy.
None of Golduck's moves are known.
|Tie One On!
| Jackson's Poliwhirl's only appearance was in Tie One On! where it battled against Macy in Group H against her Quilava. Quilava started off with a Flamethrower, while Jackson was about to call an attack too. He tripped over his cape however, causing the Flamethrower to hit his Poliwhirl and fainting it, giving Macy the win.
None of Poliwhirl's moves are known.

|Ken Sugimori's design of Vincent for the anime.
- In the Israeli dub of The Legend of Thunder! special, Vincent was named Jackson, just as in the original series, because the error was caught by the director of the series dub, Maya Bar Shalom. His situation matches that of Eusine.
- Jackson's name is also similar to that of Ash's Silver Conference and Ever Grande Conference opponents Harrison and Morrison. Along with the aforementioned "-son" ending, they are all named after famous singers (George Harrison, Jim Morrison and Michael Jackson respectively).
- Vincent's English name change may come directly from Pokémon Gold and Silver. There is a minor Trainer named "Junichi" in the Japanese version whose name was localized as "Vincent" in the English translation - a Guitarist in the Vermilion City Gym with three Magnemite and a Voltorb. The dubbers may have mistaken this character for an unrelated anime character. The same thing happened to Jimmy.
- Vincent is shown to have a crush on Marina, who likes men who wear capes. When he was first seen in the main series, he was wearing a cape while battling Macy in Tie One On!.

Things I Want To Say To You
There is so much I want to tell you, and hear from you, but…
It's difficult.
I don't know if I will drive you away, make you mad, make you sad, or be misunderstood. There are those who would tell me that my feelings don't matter, and that the truth must be told, whatever the cost. Yeah, I understand that…tell that to my heart.
I am telling the truth right now. I worry about you…I wonder about you…I pray for you…I ache for you. Yeah, I do.
There are a thousand million "truths" out there in the world, and I very humbly but very firmly believe I have found "the" truth. I believe in Jesus.
I know that you say you do too, but I wonder if you really do. Who am I to judge, you ask. You can consider me a busy body, a self righteous snob, or a loving friend…that's up to you. No, I don't know your heart, but Jesus said that "from the treasures of the heart, the mouth speaks", and I hear you saying and see you doing things that cause me concern. (Matthew 12:34)
OK…here I go…

Additional information:
Our industry standard software, Bladed, is being developed with the future in mind, containing advanced capabilities to model the most challenging wind turbine dynamics to date - floating offshore turbines. To use these capabilities effectively, we can provide a training course to arm you with the tools you need, taking you from the birth of a fixed wind turbine model, in Bladed, through to the mounting of it on a floating structure and running complex load simulations.
You will learn about the forces acting on your turbine, from the power of the wind, down to the action of the waves on the floater. Then, you will see how your structure behaves under these conditions and the forces it must contend with to remain intact. The course outline, shown below, is a 5 day course covering a range of topics. If your training needs are not represented by the topics in this list, we are happy to devise a unique training programme to match your personal requirements.
We can also provide individually designed training courses, tailored to meet your precise requirements. Advanced training courses are delivered by highly experienced engineers at a location of your choice.

Meanwhile alcohol which is legal and regulated is responsible for about 40,000 deaths per year in the UK, about 2/3 from health related causes.
Alcohol consumption is associated with lower mortality from heart disease and may also be anti-aging due to its mTOR deactivating properties.
I mostly drink red wine and mostly this one lately, 2 or 3 bottles over a week.
If I had a history of alcoholism or other chronic disease in the family, I wouldn't be so blasé about drinking.

A sidenote: it's somewhat telling that a thread about booze (on a music forum) would get people reply to in relatively high numbers, while the music threads are a bit -*crickets*- these days.

I think my life would be more fun if I drank more.
But I don't like hangovers, I don't like what it does to my digestive system, and I don't like that I turn into an absolute cock at least 25% of the time I get drunk.
Thats a 75% improvement over sobriety. Impressive!
Had to be done.
For the past few years I've suffered horrible hangovers after having as few as three pints. I'm finding it quite useful as an extra incentive to slow down on drinking as I sink into middle age. Partaking of only a single drug does feel a little dull, but everything else feels like it has too many downsides at the moment, and I don't have the temperament/self-control for microdosing.
the alcohol industry created the band 'Oaiss' as pied pipers to lead the youth away from ecstacy and dance music and towards being dickheads in anoraks. it's a disaster.
I am being boring and cutting back to see what that's like.
Actually not bad and has made Mondays more bearable (and Sunday evenings marginally less interesting).
The DrinkAware app is quite good if you want to keep track of how many units you are drinking:
14 units a week seems comically low, still.
im in a stage where just the thought of that muggy dopey booze feeling is offputting. i also got the shits bad a couple of weeks ago and lost my beer gut as a result so im trying to consolidate that weight loss. mates having big problems with the stuff is another factor. i grew up as a smoker and only got stuck into the booze seriously in my 30s and i dont think it was ever really me. feel like it just made me a total dickhead really. some good laughs before it turned dark but ultimately bad vibes.
I've got some mates who've started running and some mates who just seem to be going into the deep end with booze or whatever. I'm not sure if it's a time of life thing or not.
I'm aiming for a happy medium, lol.
im just trying to take more drugs and drink a lot less. the booze arc is not fit for purpose. theres no plateau to sit on and enjoy lucidly for a few hours.
Habit is the hardest thing. That post-work period: 6 till 8, NEED A DRINK NOW. Get past that and you're fine, the cravings disappear.
i sleep a lot better when i don't drink, wake up more refreshed and not tired during the day. i think drinking makes me snore more, which obviously interrupts sleep patterns. red wine seems to be the worst culprit.

[Verse 1]
Sorry I couldn't be there
I was tied to a rocking chair
I was beat down to a pulp
Rocking back and forth somewhere
If you knew, if you saw
You'd have said it was the final straw
There my life was bound and tethered
On a porch by the shore
But there is no, no, no, no, no
Easy way to tell one so
The things you know
And run, run, run, run, run
When they say they think they know
Exactly so
It's not right, it's not right
How am I the only one who sees us fight?
What are we?
Who are they?
Who says those bastards don't deserve to pay?
Well it's the numbers, it's the numbers
We don't stand a chance
So long as they're around you're just another song and dance
It's not fair (it's not fair), It's not fair (it's not fair)
Still I'm the only one who seems to care
[Verse 2]
It's funny being funny
Makes you feel like up and running
When your past lingers like rain clouds
Casting shadows below
I could live with so many burdens
I'll take all your hope and yearning
But there's no way I won't take me
For their petty little woes
I used to glow, glow, glow, glow, glow
Once I had a love to show
A love they know
But they're slow, slow, slow, slow, slow
So slow that they never know
Where I go
I know that it's always something
I'm just working with what I've been given
It's not my fault, I'm happy
Don't call me crazy, I'm happy
"I wrote 'I'ts Not My Fault I'm Happy' when I felt like I was literally fighting every single person in my life. You can ever be happy without being called crazy"

Slayer Hitting Studio in March for New Album
Good news, Slayer fans: Your long wait for new music is almost over. The band has announced plans to head into the studio next month to start laying down tracks for their twelfth studio album, and first since 2009′s 'World Painted Blood.'
The news comes courtesy of guitarist Kerry King, who revealed the band's timetable for new music during a recent video interview with Artisan News (watch below). King's report comes after drummer Dave Lombardo promised new material in an interview last fall, and soon after King talked about taking a fast, "old school style" approach to recording the next record.
The best part of Slayer's renewed activity is that it means guitarist Jeff Hanneman has recovered from the bacterial infection he contracted last year, which ended up requiring skin graft surgery to repair. As bassist and vocalist Tom Araya put it in an interview last year, "It was a flesh-eating virus, so he was really, really bad. So we'll wait for him to get better, and when he's a hundred percent, he's gonna come out and join us."
Take a look at King's video interview below. What are you hoping to hear from the next Slayer record — aside from skull-crushing riffs, of course?

Compare: Clapper 'Unscathed' After Lying About Surveillance; Snowden 'Stateless' & 'Hounded' For Revealing Those Lies
from the shameful deptEarlier this month, we noted the contrast between Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former NSA contractor Ed Snowden. Clapper, as you may recall, flat out lied to Congress about US surveillance, then lied about the lying, changed his story three times, and finally admitted it. Snowden, on the other hand, told the public about those lies and provided the proof. The contrast between the two comes into stark contrast today with two different things.
First, we have Snowden holding a press conference from Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport, where he has been effectively confined for weeks -- and will likely remain for some indefinite period. In his statement, he notes that he has been offered asylum, but he has become "stateless" and while he has accepted the offers of asylum, incredible and illegal efforts by the US government have made it so that he is unable to actually travel to the countries that have granted him asylum.
... the government and intelligence services of the United States of America have attempted to make an example of me, a warning to all others who might speak out as I have. I have been made stateless and hounded for my act of political expression. The United States Government has placed me on no-fly lists. It demanded Hong Kong return me outside of the framework of its laws, in direct violation of the principle of non-refoulement – the Law of Nations. It has threatened with sanctions countries who would stand up for my human rights and the UN asylum system. It has even taken the unprecedented step of ordering military allies to ground a Latin American president's plane in search for a political refugee. These dangerous escalations represent a threat not just to the dignity of Latin America, but to the basic rights shared by every person, every nation, to live free from persecution, and to seek and enjoy asylum.Of course, around the same time Snowden was making that statement, the AP was reporting that Clapper has emerged from this whole thing "unscathed," with no one questioning whether he ought to be fired, or even charged with perjury or contempt of Congress, for both running the questionable intelligence program and then outright lying about the program (and then lying about those lies). The AP report goes even further, noting that Clapper has been flat out wrong in a number of things he's told Congress in recent years, which normally would raise questions about his credibility. But not with Congress, apparently.
Incredibly, his defenders in Congress say that they should give him the benefit of the doubt, because he's so honest:
"This administration views Snowden as the problem, not Gen. Clapper," House Intelligence Committee member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said of Clapper, a retired Air Force lieutenant general. "He is generally a very straight shooter. I think people are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't trying to mislead the Senate."So, apparently, if you spy on people, lie about it, but talk "bluntly" to Congress about those lies and your spying, that's okay. But if you're an NSA contractor who reveals that Clapper is an out and out liar, potentially violating the Constitutional protections of millions of Americans, you need to be hounded around the globe, and blocked from actually leaving an airport in Moscow.
It's Clapper's bluntness — in closed hearings, away from the cameras — that will likely be his saving grace, according to former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra, a Michigan Republican.
"I never found him to parse his words or answers," Hoekstra said. "You might not agree with him, and you could have a very spirited argument with him. He wouldn't try to hide it. And that's a good thing."

Former Rock Springs Wrestler McCulley Wins Conference Honors
University of Wyoming 157-pound sophomore Andy McCulley was named as the Western Wrestling Conference Co-Wrestler of the Week, after his tremendous effort on the mat last week, announced Tuesday (February 5th) by the league.
McCulley shared the honor with North Dakota State University 174-pound sophomore Kurtis Julson.
A Rock Springs, Wyo., native, McCulley got Wyoming off to a great start in UW's last dual versus Northern Colorado on Jan. 30.
He improved his record to 7-0 against conference opponents when he pinned UNC's Mitchell Polkowske just 48 seconds into their 157-pound match.
The pin was McCulley's team-leading 11th fall of the year, and his second pin of Polkowske this season.
The sophomore's win sparked a 21-0 run to begin the dual, and the 21st-ranked Cowboys eventually won their eighth dual of the year, 34-10.
Ranked 13th in the nation, McCulley now is 24-6 this season with 14 bonus-point victories.
The conference honor was the first of the season and the first of his career.
He is the fourth Cowboy to be receive the award this season.
The Western Wrestling Conference, which is in its seventh year of competition, is comprised of six schools including the Air Force Academy, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming.
