Stay up and party all night at Chibi Pa when you book a room through this link. This specially designated floor is for the late night owls in all of us. Any and all alcohol shall be kept inside the rooms. Any suspicion of underage alcohol consumption or other illegal activities will incur a search by hotel staff or the local authorities.

As in years past, Chibi Pa will be giving a free Weekend Pass for each night you stay at the hotel. However, unlike past years, we will be restricting this to 120 Passes only. We had to change the way we are doing things this year since the hotel policy is restricting us from giving away an unlimited number of free Weekend Passes.

Only 120 free Weekend Passes will be given away on a "First-come, First-served" basis.
All reservations must be made before the hotel cutoff date of October 28, 2014, to be eligible. The hotel may extend the Chibi Pa rate after October 28, but you will not be eligible for the free Weekend Pass.

Are you using the setup inside or outside, is there a lot of natural light around, maybe coming in through a window, if so try a shade around the camera sensor - without a shade my lap timer does not work at all, with a small matt black cardboard tube around the sensor it works flawlessly.
Also try driving the LED with more current, I am driving mine with 100ma - obviously not directly from an Arduino PIN. You mention that you are sending a signal, I assume that this is a 38Khz coded signal of some sort in which case the LED is off a lot of the time and can be driven harder.
To get a wider angle from a single LED, reflect it off something, try a quick experiment like pointing the LED up and reflecting if off your hand towards the camera, you will get a much wider viewing angle - a sheet of white paper or aluminium foil in a small housing for your transmitter will do the same but much more efficiently.
I am using IR Emitters and Detectors for an RC Car lap timing project here -
EDIT: If you off load generating the 38Khz IR signal to a 555 timer, you can drive the LED harder and use a potentiometer to tune the frequency which will both help with range.

Dutch Queen Beatrix Abdicates
Her son, Willem-Alexander, becomes first king since 1890.
Read it at The Daily Beast
The queen has left the building. The Netherlands' Queen Beatrix abdicated the throne on Tuesday, handing it over to her son, Willem-Alexander. He will be the country's first king since 1890. Beatrix, 75, who has been on the throne for 33 years, announced her plans to step down in January, saying it was time for a "new generation" to take over. About a million people are expected to travel to Amsterdam for the occasion, and street parties will take place throughout the country. The royal family will take part in a water festival on Tuesday night.

This sweet birdie yarn bowl is the gift I've asked Santa to consider dropping down my chimney this Christmas. I took up knitting earlier this year, and I'm happy with my progress, but I manage to drop my yarn on a regular basis, and even the cats are no longer amused.
Fitbit. Poseidon and I have the Fitbit One™ and this little activity tracking gadget is a fitness motivator, for sure. I wear it everyday, and try to push myself to get in at least 5000 steps/day. During the day, I'm motivated to move more (which is great for the neck and back). The One™ tracks steps (even when biking or on an elliptical at the gym), stairs climbed, calories burned (including "existence" calories, calories you burn breathing, blinking, moving in your sleep, etc.), and miles traveled. This will make a great Christmas gift for folks looking for an extra push to stay healthy and active. The Fitbit One™ can also track sleep habits, but I don't use that feature. I already know I sleep.
If you know someone who lost a pet this year, consider giving them the gift of making a donation in memory of a pet. There are many charities out there. Petsmart Charities is one example. This precious angel is my own Kat, from December of last year. She wanted to help us wrap Christmas gifts, and she did a great job. Our apologies to everyone for the cat hair stuck in the tape.
Know anyone traveling in the near future? I bought a set of these Herb Lester maps for Poseidon two years ago (for our future European trips). The artwork is super, and these maps feature off-the-beaten-path sorts of things for major cities. A map devoted specifically to donut shops in New York. Paris for single travelers. Untamed London. The description they give for their Clandestine London map makes me giggle:
"The desire to see and be seen is not shared by all. For those who prefer to conduct business away from prying eyes, this map is for you.
We list 31 places with hidden alcoves and easy exits, neglected restaurants, unreconstructed wine bars, ancient pubs and even natural isolation. In these locations discretion is assured, it's entirely up to you to decide how you make use of that."
While I'm on the topic of travel, my passport expired in May, and I have to renew. I can't believe how expensive this is going to be! I might add this passport holder to my Christmas list for next year. More birds. I would have expected the whole bird motif thingy to be dead by now. It's a slow death.
I can't even believe I'm going to post these, but I can't help myself. Poseidon sent me a link to these several months ago (I'm not ever going to ask what is was he was searching for when he found them). Gnome shoes. These are neither in my budget nor my heel range, but so adorable (and sold out by now). For the cool, happy person who has everything (and a gifter who has too much), perhaps some gnome shoes for Christmas?

I'm waiting for a server bounce, and because idle hands are the devil's playthings, I've decided to type something; the first thing popping into my head...a five-for-friday post featuring the random junk on my desk.
I'm embracing the sacred grunginess that is my desk today:
1. Mocha orange hand cream.
2. Two monster finger puppets (I stage impromptu puppet shows with these little guys when I need to let off steam). They were in my Christmas stocking last year.
3. What's left of my morning almond snack.
4. My baby Diet Coke.
5. My worry stone.

Suppose you are on the lamb, or recently placed in a witness protection program, and you have to pick a new name? How would you choose your new name?
I'm not on the lamb (or in the witness protection program), but Poseidon thinks I should have a new name, and he's spent a good deal of time thinking about this. Here is his list. I'm trying to picture myself at the DMV, replacing my name on my license with one of these:
Toffee-nosed Ringlefinch - This one leaves me feeling verbally beaten up
Bubbles Maxima - This is not a game, man, this is my life!
Yammyschmidt McStingshine - Saying this outloud feels an awful lot like scraping knuckles on my cheese grater.
Prudence Woolingsworth - Has potential. I'm strangely OK with this name
Eunice G Quattlebaum - This is a mess begging for help up off the floor (and what does the G stand for?)
Felicity Sunshine - this one leaves me feeling boundary-challenged, and I don't really know why
Mrs. Ariel Johannessen - I could never spell this correctly. Never
Travellers Check McLuggage - Sounds like a menu offering at a McDonalds in Edinburgh
Ragnhild Synnove Olson (honoring that Swedish heritage) - That's a troll's name
Trudy "Bubbles" Flowers - See what he's done here? Poseidon has already given this name a nickname
Sandi-Lyn Slavenovich - Hmmm, the pebble in shoe analogy applies to this one. It doesn't seem all that bad when you first give it a test run, but after a few miles? Issues
Virginia West - Nope
Goodwife Snavely - Just makes me feel dirty
I want to be flexible, but honestly, I'm mostly just worried about my capacity for change, at this point.

(Photo source: http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com)Hippies and food-spitters! I was cleaning out my inbox today, and I found this gem, sent to me by my friend Sorren last year. Rereading it made me giggle under my breath, so I decided to post it as a Five for Friday:

I'm fond of all of my coworkers, but one in particular puts a wide smile on my face. He is so pleasant and funny, and he is real. He often uses this phrase: "Oh, my soul." With his deep southern accent though, it sounds more like, "Ole, mah sole!" I love it. I can't recall having ever heard this phrase used before I met him.
As sparkly as "Oh my soul" is, and as giggly as it makes me, it was outdone by this gem (used by another coworker last week when describing an annoying relative): "She looks like death sucking a sponge." I had to cover my mouth to keep from spitting my water on her, and even then, some of that water leaked through my fingers.
Hold your horses - Who hasn't heard or used that old dull phrase, right? Well, I worked with a guy from Russia who used to say to me, "Calm down your horses" when I would get all panicky about project deadlines. I like his translation better, and it's so much funnier hearing it with a Russian accent.
Lawd love a duck! - A guy in my 5th grade class was a frequent user of this phrase (he actually said Lawd instead of Lord). Yes, 5th grade. He was an old man before his time.
My dad liked to use this one when one of us was blocking the television: "You make a better door than a window." My dad was also a fan of, "You're about as useful as a screen door on a submarine." OK, this is fun. One more. Dad also spouted this one out from time to time: "She's deader than a doornail." I never understood this saying either. First, what is a door nail? Second...do you think my dad had some strange obsession with doors?

Saturday mornings, growing up Gen X, were the best (and I've blogged about Gen X Saturdays more than once). We got up, fixed our Cheerios, and parked ourselves in front of the television to watch cartoons. Saturday morning cartoons were followed by the ABC Weekend Special (hosted by Willie Tyler and his ventriloquist puppet, Lester). I lived for those episodes in the early 80s, especially the spookier episodes.
Today's Five for Friday - 5 of my favorite ABC Weekend Special episodes (and a YouTube link, if I could one):
"The Haunted Mansion" - Original aired in 1983, in two parts (the great ones were always in 2 parts), and starred a very young Christian Slater. This was my favorite, and I'm sad I couldn't find it on YouTube. New girl in the neighborhood. Christian Slater's character tells her house was owned by a creepy old miser who disappeared. Secret room in house, searching for fortunes, etc.
"The Red Room Riddle" - Also airing in 1993, this story is the typical, if-you-want-to-be-part-of-the-cool-kids-club-you-must-prove-it fare, but it was (and still is, in my opinion) spooky. I like the graininess of these clips. Takes me back. Way back.
"The Haunting of Cassie Palmer" - This one wasn't actually a part of the official ABC Weekend Special series, but it aired in the early 80s, around the same time, over several Saturdays, so I'm including it in my list because I associate it with ABC Weekend Special. It was a British children's drama, consisting of 6 episodes, and I found them on YouTube! I've linked to the first episode. Cassie's mother was a psychic who has been accused of fraud. It turns out that Cassie may have the "gift" herself and conjures up a spirit in a graveyard. I won't spoil it! If you can get through the poor quality of the recordings, it's an eerie good time.
"The Gold Bug" - Part I and II aired in 1980. It is based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Gold-Bug," starring...Anthony Michael Hall. Secrets and buried treasure! What more could a Gen X kid want out of a Saturday afternoon?
"The Ghost of Thomas Kempe" - Originally aired in 1979. I would like to watch the entire episode again (this one aired in 2 parts also). Family moves into new house. Young boy encounters poltergeist. Creepy.
I found this "archive" of ABC Weekend Special episodes on YouTube. I haven't had time to look through all of them, but I most certainly will.

It has been 11 long years, but tomorrow, I will once again be a palindrome...I will be 44. Do I expect to see a herd of fluffy white unicorns in my front yard when I roll out of bed on my birthday? No, but that would be the best birthday present in the history of birthday presents. You know, I wasn't quite sure if more than one unicorn is referred to as unicorns or unicorn (like deer), so I googled it, and apparently, it is common knowledge (to all but moi) that a herd of unicorns is actually referred to as a "blessing." Good God, we never stop learning, do we?
I just spent 2 of the last 5 minutes reflecting on my last palindromic age: 33. I believe I expected it to be spectacular, simply because it was a palindrome, and I was disappointed that not one magical thing happened to me that year (that I can recall...I can tell you, no unicorns sang "Happy Birthday" to me). 33 turned out to be quite dull. When I was 22 I doubt I realized I had reached a palindromic age, and at 11, I couldn't have given you the definition of palindrome, so progress has been made.
So, what does 44 mean to me? Nothing really. I've matured enough to know this birthday will be devoid of all things mystical, and I won't see those unicorns grazing in the front yard (they would starve...no grass there now anyway). The skies will not be filled with rainbows, unless the circumstances are just right, and the odds are not worth considering. No, it will be just another birthday, but another day alive, another day to breathe, so I will be excited. Who knows, maybe Poseidon will bake me a unicorn-shaped birthday cake?
What have I done since reaching my last palindromic milestone? In a brainstorm fury, here is what I can come up with (though I cannot remember every bump, scrape, or pat on the back) in no real order (I mean, that is the point of brainstorming, right?), and forgive my punctuation, as that is never important when brainstorming--something else I've picked up in the last 11 years:
Went through 2 or 3 relationships, had some bad dates (remind me to tell you someday about the guy who wanted to be a cat and was having whiskers implanted in his cheeks, if I haven't already), had some good dates, decided singledom was the life for me, lost some weight, got back in shape, moved twice (2 different states), bought a house, started a blog, met Poseidon, got engaged, changed my mind about singledom, got married, changed jobs twice, lived through a recession (is it over?) joined Facebook, joined Polyvore, joined Pinterest, joined several other online time sucks that I can't remember now, sent approximately 10,000 emails to spam, had my gallbladder removed, made many new friends, grew apart from some old friends, lost my father to cancer, traveled to (some for work, some for pleasure): Brussels, London, Dominican Republic, Alaska, Oklahoma City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Seattle, Turks & Caicos, West Virginia, White Plains, NYC, Austin, San Antonio, Nashville, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, The Outer Banks, Atlanta, Newberry SC, Cedar Key, DC, Bahamas, Tampa, took up running, ran a few 5Ks, managed to not kill my two cats (still), took up sewing, attended countless concerts, took up biking again, attended some boxing classes, sporadic yoga practice, had only 1 cavity, had a couple of moles removed, more than 20 facials, neck surgery, probably bought more than 150 pairs of shoes, changed my hair color at least 4 times, did some house remodeling (nearly resulting in divorce...do not try to replace a toilet with your husband...call a flipping plumber, please), bought several cell phones including the smartphone I have now, changed my mind about PC's superiority over macs, decided there isn't any age I would revisit, made peace with myself, and most importantly, learned to relinquish some of my imagined control over the universe back to the universe...where it oh most certainly belongs. I'm exhausted.

I haven't done a Five for Friday in some time now!
Poseidon and I watched Alfred Hitchcock's "Marnie" last night, and I now have a girl crush on Tippi Hedren. I've seen "The Birds" several times, but I paid little attention to how gorgeous she was, but in "Marnie," I paid attention, and she was lovely! So, for this long overdue Five for Friday post, my five girl crushes, in no particular order:

Last summer, Skullcandy ran its first ever Aviator Design Contest to great success. Over 2,600 submissions narrowed down to four semi-finalists eventually produced one winning Aviator design by Andrew Threadgill of Illinois.
Threadgill entered with the intent of creating a simple design, especially given the small amount of area to work with. Kudos to Andrew; he laid down a look that flowed well across the caps and band of our signature headphone. We at Skullcandy liked it so much that we declared the design as the winner, sending Threadgill a wad of cash, and taking his bright green and blue Aviators into production as a limited edition you can buy now.
The color combination could have come straight out of the 1980s, inspiring Threadgill to name his creation "Old School". We asked him if the Aviators came out as expected. "Yes, the design was really spot on! The part I didn't expect was the packaging. It almost looked better than the headphones," he said.
Threadgill's day job is as a Computer Programmer at a credit union but he's been a "casual graphic designer" for about 10 years. In his free time, he's designed print materials, logos and websites. This contest was his first attempt at headphone design but we think he nailed it.
His reward also included a year's supply of Skullcandy headphones, including the first three pairs produced of his winning "Old School" Aviators. Threadgill only kept a few of the headphones we sent. Most of his winnings were donated to Edwards Hospital in Naperville, IL where his daughter, Annabelle, received chemo therapy to treat a rare tumor. "We met families and children during the process that had an impact on our family," stated Threadgill, "So, I wanted to give back. It was great experience to hand deliver the headphones, including a D&G pair that Skullcandy sent as a special request for one of the cancer patients at Edwards."
Skullcandy was completely stoked to have chosen Andrew Threadgill as our winner. And his daughter Annabelle is doing great, "a happy healthy little girl," he says.
Check out his winning Aviator design, now available as a limited edition in the Skullcandy catalog.
Please wait...

The value of the arts to the economy has always been an elusive figure until now.
I'm a big believer in a balanced approach, this just goes to show you how you never know where positive impacts could come from.
A bipartisan bill that cracks down on potentially frivolous suits from "patent trolls" has passed the House of Representatives. Rep. Bob Goodlatte's (R-VA) Innovation Act passed committee in…
From what I am reading this is an important first step. Basically it makes it so that if you sue somebody for infringement, you better be damn sure you have a case. However I do think that if we truly want to revive an environment where patents actually encourage innovation it requires an overall of how patents actually work. Most, if not all, patent law was written years before the internet and other key aspects of the modern environment existed. The 30 year time period and some types of innovations protected are no longer relevant.

Payola, in one form or another, is as old as the music business:
Labels pay radio stations to broadcast their music, producers pay DJs to spin their records in the club, and promoters ask live bands to pay-to-play at…
This was a huge issue for my band in high school. This article seems more geared towards career musicians so it fails to mention how many events that use this model are primarily for kids. I still feel that was wrong for them to do and severely chilled who was able to play in bands. We encountered many venues with more experimental models where they would change what they paid you based on how many times you performed there (still giving them the filter function) or they would just pay you a small amount per ticket collected from your band. While it's more important to not stifle creativity amongst teenagers, I see no reason these tactics wouldn't work for adults as well.

"A victim of her own rarity." That's how one onlooker describes Nénette, a 40-year-old, reddish-haired orangutan who's lived in captivity since 1972 in Paris' Jardin des Plantes zoo.
This highly evolved documentary from French filmmaker Nicolas Philibert (Être Et Avoir) observes Nénette from behind her enclosure's protective glass, while on the soundtrack we hear comments by her keepers and daily visitors.
If the tea-drinking Nénette remains an enigmatic figure, Philibert makes fascinatingly clear how we humans project our own feelings and thoughts onto her.

Testimonial - Harry Ridgely - Pterygium/Pinguecula Treatment
My eye was constantly dry, red and irritated. It caused a slight astigmatism and my eye was tired more easily. Everyone commented that I looked tired due to redness.
I discovered Dr. Gulani through a website and research and someone who posted about his pioneer surgery for this condition. I visited Dr. Gulani and was impressed with his knowledge, the procedures and his bed side manner.
My experience at Gulani vision Institute in Florida was excellent, well cared for and felt completely confident under Dr. Gulani's care.
Dr. Gulani is a masterful surgeon and it really shows that he is passionate about his work.
Three days after surgery and the results are outstanding! My eye is perfectly white, with no signs of the redness or growth.
Dr. Gulani is an exemplary surgeon and goes above and beyond in educating his patients about their condition, surgery, etc. He is a world class visionary in his field. He is extremely personable.
Harry Ridgely
I look forward to seeing you and answering all your questions during your personal consultation with me.* = required

STEP 6 : Install Heat Sink/Fan
Today's processors are running quite hot. Advancements are being made to make them run cooler at higher speeds, but the importance of a high quality heat sink and fan cannot be overstated. PCs that are not properly cooled can be quite unstable, or at its worse, it may not even boot properly.
It used to be that you could attach a heat sink and fan to your processor directly and not worry about it. Today, though, processors run too hot to do this and expect a reliable PC. One must use heat sink compound to seal the gap between the heat sink and the top of the processor.
Some heat sinks have a rubber heat pad on the bottom of them. In these cases, you don't really need to use heat sink compound because the rubber pad will create the seal. It should be kept in mind, though, that if you are using a heat sink which has been used before and had a heat pad, that heat pad is now likely melted in the spot where the previous processor contacted it. In these cases, you cannot use the heat pad again as it will be ineffective. Instead, you need to clean the old rubber pad off of the heat sink using a non-abrasive cleaning compound. Many people use isopropyl alcohol and a broken old credit card to scrape the rubber off without damaging the heat sink. When the pad is removed, you can use the heat sink again using heat sink compound.
- Attach the fan to the heat sink. This step is almost always already done for you, but if not, you must do it yourself. This is done using the four screws that came with the CPU fan.
- Clean the top of the processor. Using a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol (or some other non-abrasive cleaning solution), ensure that the surface of the processor is clean and free of dust and finger oil. Do the same to the bottom of the heat sink. Pay attention to the note above on heat pads if your heat sink had or has a rubber heat pad.
- If you are using a cooling shim, place it onto the top of the processor now. Not all processors require shims. In fact, no processors require shims; they are completely optional. But, some people like to use them because they help to increase the surface area of the top of the ship and spread the weight around evenly. See, some processors (such as the Athlon XP) actually have the core sticking up slightly from the rest of the processor. So, when the heat sink is placed on top, all of its weight comes down on the core. If the fan is a real tight fit for the motherboard, it could really create a weight load on the processor core, and some people have actually crushed their CPU core by accident. A shim is simply a thin piece of metal, especially designed for a particular processor, which fits over the processor and evens out the height and helps to alleviate the crushed core problem. When installing a shim, be extra sure you are aligning it correctly. They often have holes in them exactly placed so that the cache bridges on top of the processor can poke through. If the shim is not properly aligned, you could short out these bridges and actually burn out your processor if you run your PC that way. Additionally, a mis-aligned shim could cause the heat sink to not actually have full content with the CPU core, leading to overheating.
- Apply the Heat Sink Compound. Assuming you are not using a heat pad on your heat sink, apply a very thin layer of heat sink compound to the top of the processor core. If, as is the case with Pentium IV processors, the top of the processor is totally flat, then apply the compound to the entire top surface of the processor. Many heat sinks come with heat sink compound in a small little package, usually just enough for a one-time install. You can pick up better quality compound online. Arctic Silver is a very popular choice. Be careful not to get compound on any motherboard electronics. Apply only a very small portion to the processor. Only a very thin layer is required. The compound must be spread out evenly across the top of the chip, forming that very thin layer. When spreading the heat sink compound, do not use your finger. Use the edge of a credit card, or you can use a rubber glove or even just a plastic bag over your hand. Do not apply any heat sink compound if you plan to use a heat pad.
- Attach The Heat Sink. Place the heat sink/fan combo squarely on top of the processor, pressing down lightly. Do not do any twisting as you install the heat sink. Press down firmly, but straight down so as to preserve the heat sink compound layer you just applied.
- Secure the heat sink. Most newer heat sinks use a set of clips on each side to fasten itself down. These clips attach to a pair of tabs on each side of the socket. It will probably take a little bit of force to bend the clip down over the tab. Other heat sinks wrap around the processor, then just sit on top, the compound being the only real attachment. Pentium IV motherboards have a heat sink retention bracket around the processor socket. When you install the P4 heat sink, you will fasten each of the four retention clips into the retention bracket and then close the clip levers on top of the heat sink to fasten the heat sink down onto the Pentium IV processor.
- Double-Check. No compound should have oozed out from the sides. If it did then you applied too much and need to remove the HSF, clean both the heatsink and CPU and start over.
- Attach fan to power source. Unless your CPU fan is powered via a standard power supply plug, it is probably powered by a wire attached to a 3-pin power lead on the motherboard itself. You can attach this now. The CPU_FAN power lead is located near the CPU interface somewhere. The lead will have two small pins on each side, and these pins surround the power plug and the pins are inserted into the holes in the plug. It should be pretty easy and obvious.

So if you have a heatsink already attached to the CPU (like in the previous step) you do not need to worry about this one?
FireBert85 June 17th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Yeah sounds like it. Is the article also saying that some CPUs today come ready to be used without the heatsink/fan?
pgde June 20th, 2008 at 9:21 am
No, do not ever use a CPU chip without a heatsink or fan……Unless you want to go into thermal overload every time. As the above article says:
"the importance of a high quality heat sink and fan cannot be overstated. PCs that are not properly cooled can be quite unstable, or at its worse, it may not even boot properly.'
Paul August 13th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Overclocking a chip is a really good reason to use one also. Many high-performance boards have a Bios written with overclocking your CPU in mind. A good comparison is a power sander in a carpentry shop. If you run it at normal speed, it will remove material at a rate that keeps the sanding disc cool, will shape your piece adequately, and will preserve the life of the disc. If you want to remove more material more quickly, you must find a way to keep the disc cool, or it will burn the wood. Same thing with an overclocked chip. Your sander is really chewing off the wood, faster than the design intended, and the only way to save the tools and materials is to lower the operating temperature. This can't be done with a power sander, but it can with a CPU. I am not a fan of overclocking (forgive the terrible pun), as it is possible to buy faster processors, and it can violate the terms of warranty to overclock, and the life of the CPU is determineably greater when it is run as intended.
Bob August 19th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I have bought a AMD chip. I am a bit confused, my block came with fan atached. Do I use the heat sink to attach block to Chip? It seemed to me like it had a bit on there already. and if not, Y did my chip not come with heat sink to install?
Spencer H August 31st, 2008 at 2:03 pm
This website is awesome. I'm just about to build my first PC with the help of a more experienced friend, and he says that all this info is golden. Thanks so much for making this easy to find!
Esun December 7th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
This guide is not very thorough or complete (or totally correct).
The heat pad is NOT rubber. In most cases it's something wax based that allows it to melt and fill in the cracks between the cpu and the cpu heatsink/fan.
The method for applying thermal paste is also not entirely correct–there are multiple ways to do it, but it's preferable that you first grind both the cpu and cooler's contact faces until they are smooth, DO NOT touch it, and then apply two lines of thermal paste onto the CPU, and then squarely push the cooler down on top of it to distribute the thermal paste. There are multiple ways to do this depending on the shape of the cpu and the surface of the cooler–usually the manufacturer of the thermal paste or cooler will provide instructions. Apply only a thin layer so it doesn't ooze out.
Trollmaker August 1st, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I agree that some parts of this article are incorect. It suggests that you should completely cover the CPU in thermal paste but i have read multiple instruction manuals that say this is an outdated method that does not work as well as applying the thermal paste in a line over the proccessing core. Most companies make guides for this. Artic silver has a picture oriented guide for single dual and quad core processors. My suggestion, follow the guide.
JM January 31st, 2009 at 6:25 pm
"first grind both the cpu and cooler's contact faces until they are smooth…" Grinding? Totally unnecessary and risks damage.
These instructions are spot on – I'd just mention the rule I use for Intel chips is to apply about "a grain of rice" worth of compound, and spread it very thin.
Ian June 11th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
The spreading method may work but i just followed the Arctic Silver 5 instructions verbatim. Small thin line from left to right and leave unspread. CPU temp of i7-920 idles under 45 degrees C. To each their own i guess
Flo February 16th, 2009 at 4:26 am
The Website is really good and helps a lot not to forget something, but I must say that if I imagine 80% of my friends go ahead with building their own PC with this manual, they would really appreciate some basic pictures. I know different casings, processors, bla bla bla looks all drifferent, but it gives you a better idea as human learn and understand better with visual impressions. Maybe you could add some basic once for each step?
Vinay March 11th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Does a dust-ridden heatsink malfunction? If yes, please provide me guidelines to clean it.
george June 23rd, 2009 at 3:22 pm
just clean it with a soft brush because the dust can block the air from flowing correctly
thehaf April 1st, 2009 at 8:28 pm
My motherboard has a 4-pin cpu fan connector but my fan/heatsink came with a 3-pin female connector. It fits but one pin is not in use. Why i this?
jonass21 April 28th, 2009 at 12:40 am
I just installed a new xigmatek 92mm rifle heatsink to my athlon 64×2 kuma processor, but the heatsink didn't completely cover the processor… is that a problem? it is only about 1mm that didn't get covered
101110100 September 18th, 2009 at 12:11 am
as long as it covers the cores its fine
Vijay December 4th, 2009 at 7:12 am
hey i cant connect the processor fan properly,
it shows on its ends as twist the sides.

I found these bland and a bit greasy. I left the cheese off the top based on other reviews hoping to combat the greasy problem, but that didn't seem to help. Usually I can think of a few tweaks to make a recipe worth trying again, but I don't think there's much I can do about this one.

I served these with potato, leek stew and everyone liked them. They really did have a lot of flavor. However, they seemed kind of heavy and greasy to me. I would make them again if I knew how to make them fluffier and less greasy.

Netanyahu: Stones are lethal weapons
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at Yom Hazikaron ceremony.
(photo credit:Screenshot Channel 10)
"Stones are lethal weapons," said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday as
he delivered a strong message of support of branding violent rock throwing as an
act of terror.He spoke at the national ceremony for terror victims in
Israel and abroad. Last July, five Israelis were killed in a suicide bombing in
Bulgaria that targeted them.But Netanyahu opened Monday's speech by
focusing on the plight of three-year-old Adele Biton, who was critically wounded
in March in a car accident on Route 5 that was caused by Palestinians who threw
stones at the road.Adele's mother Rachel is part of Netanyahu's office's
professional staff. When he called the family, Rachel told him that she prays
every day for her daughter's recovery, he recalled."If someone had any
doubt, then this is another reminder that stones are deadly weapons," the prime
minister said.He added that stones are part of the arsenal of weapons
terrorists use which include Molotov cocktails, knives, missiles and suicide
bombs.Netanyahu spoke in the midst of an increase in incidents of
stoning attacks on West Bank roads.Settlers have pushed the government
and the IDF to take the issue more seriously.Monday's speech was among
Netanyahu's most strongly worded statements linking throwing stones with acts of
terror.On Tuesday, an Israeli citizen was lightly injured after
Palestinians threw stones at his vehicle, according to the IDF. Stones were also
thrown at an Egged bus as it traveled from Jerusalem to the Ma'aleh Adumim on
that same day, according to an eyewitness.

My brother decided to use my bathroom and that was fine, but five minutes later I hear singing and he's singing to the tune of "What's This" for the Nightmare Before Christmas about various products I keep in the bathroom.
"What's this, what's this?
There's products everywhere.

In a rare image of President Lincoln at Gettysburg, he is shown hatless at the center of a crowd on the orators' platform. (Library of Congress)
In the summer of 1863, General Robert E. Lee pushed northward into Pennsylvania. The Union army met him at Gettysburg, and from July 1 to July 3, the bloodiest battle of the war ensued. By the time it was over, the Confederates were in retreat, and the battlefield was strewn with more than 50,000 dead and wounded.
Four months later, thousands gathered at Gettysburg to witness the dedication of a new cemetery. On the program was the standard assortment of music, remarks, and prayers. But what transpired that day was more extraordinary than anyone could have anticipated. In "The Words That Remade America," the historian and journalist Garry Wills reconstructed the events leading up to the occasion, debunking the myth that President Lincoln wrote his remarks at the last minute, and carefully unpacking Lincoln's language to show how—in just 272 words—he subtly cast the nation's understanding of the Constitution in new, egalitarian terms. Wills's book Lincoln at Gettysburg, from which the essay was adapted, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993.—Sage Stossel
IN THE AFTERMATH of the Battle of Gettysburg, both sides, leaving fifty thousand dead or wounded or missing behind them, had reason to maintain a large pattern of pretense—Lee pretending that he was not taking back to the South a broken cause, Meade that he would not let the broken pieces fall through his fingers. It would have been hard to predict that Gettysburg, out of all this muddle, these missed chances, all the senseless deaths, would become a symbol of national purpose, pride, and ideals. Abraham Lincoln transformed the ugly reality into something rich and strange—and he did it with 272 words. The power of words has rarely been given a more compelling demonstration.
The residents of Gettysburg had little reason to be satisfied with the war machine that had churned up their lives. General George Gordon Meade may have pursued General Robert E. Lee in slow motion, but he wired headquarters that "I cannot delay to pick up the debris of the battlefield." That debris was mainly a matter of rotting horseflesh and manflesh—thousands of fermenting bodies, with gas-distended bellies, deliquescing in the July heat. For hygienic reasons, the five thousand horses and mules had to be consumed by fire, trading the smell of decaying flesh for that of burning flesh. Human bodies were scattered over, or (barely) under, the ground. Suffocating teams of Union soldiers, Confederate prisoners, and dragooned civilians slid the bodies beneath a minimal covering as fast as possible—crudely posting the names of the Union dead with sketchy information on boards, not stopping to figure out what units the Confederate bodies had belonged to. It was work to be done hugger-mugger or not at all, fighting clustered bluebottle flies black on the earth, shoveling and retching by turns.
The whole area of Gettysburg—a town of only twenty-five hundred inhabitants—was one makeshift burial ground, fetid and steaming. Andrew Curtin, the Republican governor of Pennsylvania, was facing a difficult reelection campaign. He must placate local feeling, deal with other states diplomatically, and raise the funds to cope with corpses that could go on killing by means of fouled streams or contaminating exhumations.
Curtin made the thirty-two-year-old David Wills, a Gettysburg lawyer, his agent on the scene. Wills (who is no relation to the author) … meant to dedicate the ground that would hold the corpses even before they were moved. He felt the need for artful words to sweeten the poisoned air of Gettysburg. He asked the principal wordsmiths of his time to join this effort—Longfellow, Whittier, Bryant. All three poets, each for his own reason, found their muse unbiddable. But Wills was not terribly disappointed. The normal purgative for such occasions was a large-scale, solemn act of oratory, a kind of performance art that had great power over audiences in the middle of the nineteenth century. Some later accounts would emphasize the length of the main speech at the Gettysburg dedication, as if that were an ordeal or an imposition on the audience. But a talk of several hours was customary and expected then—much like the length and pacing of a modern rock concert. The crowds that heard Lincoln debate Stephen Douglas in 1858, through three-hour engagements, were delighted to hear Daniel Webster and other orators of the day recite carefully composed paragraphs for two hours at the least.
The champion at such declamatory occasions, after the death of Daniel Webster, was Webster's friend Edward Everett. Everett was that rare thing, a scholar and an Ivy League diplomat who could hold mass audiences in thrall. His voice, diction, and gestures were successfully dramatic, and he habitually performed his well-crafted text, no matter how long, from memory. Everett was the inevitable choice for Wills, the indispensable component in the scheme for the cemetery's consecration. Battlefields were something of a specialty with Everett—he had augmented the fame of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill by his oratory at those Revolutionary sites. Simply to have him speak at Gettysburg would add this field to the sacred roll of names from the Founders' battles.
Everett was invited, on September 23, to appear October 23. That would leave all of November for filling the graves. But a month was not sufficient time for Everett to make his customary preparation for a major speech. He did careful research on the battles he was commemorating—a task made difficult in this case by the fact that official accounts of the engagement were just appearing. Everett would have to make his own inquiries. He could not be ready before November 19. Wills seized on that earliest moment, though it broke with the reburial schedule that had been laid out to follow on the October dedication. He decided to move up the reburial, beginning it in October and hoping to finish by November 19.
The careful negotiations with Everett form a contrast, more surprising to us than to contemporaries, with the casual invitation to President Lincoln, issued some time later as part of a general call for the federal Cabinet and other celebrities to join in what was essentially a ceremony of the participating states.
No insult was intended. Federal responsibility for or participation in state activities was not assumed then. And Lincoln took no offense. Though specifically invited to deliver only "a few appropriate remarks" to open the cemetery, he meant to use this opportunity. The partly mythical victory of Gettysburg was an element of his Administration's war propaganda. (There were, even then, few enough victories to boast of.) Beyond that, he was working to unite the rival Republican factions of Governor Curtin and Simon Cameron, Edwin Stanton's predecessor as Secretary of War. He knew that most of the state governors would be attending or sending important aides—his own bodyguard, Ward Lamon, who was acting as chief marshal organizing the affair, would have alerted him to the scale the event had assumed, with a tremendous crowd expected. This was a classic situation for political fence-mending and intelligence-gathering. Lincoln would take with him aides who would circulate and bring back their findings. Lamon himself had a cluster of friends in Pennsylvania politics, including some close to Curtin, who had been infuriated when Lincoln overrode his opposition to Cameron's Cabinet appointment.

Franks POV
I walk through the heavy oak doors and stroll up the aisle towards the old man who was once such a grand friend of mine. His eyes glance up at me and his eyes linger on me in surprise. "Ah Frank!" He says almost excitedly. He steps down from his high stature and greets me with a pat on the back at the end of the aisle. "I haven't seen you since you were four or five, son." I instantly feel regret and disappointment in myself at his kindness after all these years. "I hear you've been busy. Finding someone to spend your time with and go to for comfort." He means Gerard. Homosexuality is a sin, I fucking knew this was a stupid idea. "Yeah- he's....great, thanks." I say my eyes darting all over the church. "I see no flaw in your actions Frank, I know you needed saving. Plus, now it's your turn to return the favour." And after that one simple statement I realised I didn't need to seek love from God. I simply needed to fight this time. For once, I couldn't fail.
Donnas POV
I walked up the cobbled cracked pathway. I simple needed to sit in the quiet for a while. I wasn't running to anyone, I just needed to be alone and feel something. I'd always liked the church in our old town. I never belonged to a religion and never attended services regularly. Some may say I chose when I was a christian. But I wasn't taking advantage. I was just seeking again.
My cherry tree. My Angela's cherry tree. my first born. My little girl. She had died of cot death at three months old and part of me had never recovered from finding her tiny precious form, cold in her crib of soft pinks and laced decor. I had been so young back then, so immature and thinking I knew it all. But secretly, I was a lot younger than even I knew. But I was old enough to love and I was old enough to lose. Hopefully, this time I was too old to lose and Angela was going to help me through this. And she would be there for her baby brother.
Suddenly, I am ripped from my thoughts by someone stumbling into my shoulder. I whirl around in surprise and find a dumbfounded and tearful Frank. He needs to know why. And he needs my son, just as much as my son needs him. With Angela beside me, I took him in my arms softly. "He still loves you. He doesn't want to burden you, go to him. Please Frank." And together we run for the saviour, which is words. Conviction is my only hope. Truth? Is Franks, and it could make or break all of us.

With property crimes up in Atlanta and its fire department enduring significant budget cuts, last night's debate sponsored by the unions representing cops and firefighters was considered critical for mayoral candidates.
Two leading candidates — Atlanta City Council President Lisa Borders and state Sen. Kasim Reed — threw jabs at each other over who was responsible for these problems. And my AJC colleague Eric Stirgus was ringside.
Only four candidates were invited to the fray: Borders, Reed, City Councilwoman Mary Norwood and Atlanta attorney Jesse Spikes.
Borders accused Reed of using fuzzy math when he dwelled on the city's inability to pay for its public safety needs.
Reed then said Borders' unwillingness to support a property tax increase in 2008 hurt operations and caused furloughs in the police and fire departments.
"The crisis that required a [property tax increase this year] was generated by not giving any relief for police and fire [last year]," Reed said during the two-hour debate at Georgia State University.
Borders countered that last year's budget process removed many inefficiencies in city government, making City Hall "leaner and more efficient."
Norwood briefly jumped into the fray, saying Mayor Shirley Franklin's office "never followed through" on giving her information she requested before last year's budget vote.
The candidates said they'd work to increase pay for cops and firefighters and would give greater consideration to supervisors in both departments when they hire a new police and fire chief.
Some acknowledged that money is tight at City Hall and that some promises may take a while to deliver on.
Reed and Spikes said they'd be reluctant to show the public performance reviews of the police chief, citing legal concerns.
Norwood said a fire tax district to increase pay for personnel "could be very helpful to us."
Some in the audience of about 75 people, like southwest Atlanta resident and community activist Joel Alvarado, said he wanted to hear the candidates talk more about how they'd attack the root causes of crime, noting Atlanta's poverty rate is about 25 percent.
The unions will likely decide which candidate they'll endorse in August.
Sen. John Douglas (R-Social Circle) has gotten a good ride out of his idea to use the Georgia-Florida as leverage in negotiations over water. His idea, to move the grudge match to Georgia every other year, even made USA Today this morning:
Douglas, a 25-year Georgia season ticket holder who chairs the Senate veterans committee, said the Peach State should use the annual game as a bargaining chip as part of any discussion with Florida over water rights.
"We need the tax revenue kept in Georgia that's generated from the game," he said. "The state of Florida has shown clearly that they're not concerned with the well-being of Georgia and I don't think that those of us in government should encourage Georgians to spend their hard earned money in Florida."
While you ponder that, consider these items found while perusing this morning's ajc.com:
Gwinnett, Forsyth counties to furlough teachers, but Cobb won't. Will water ruling dry up growth? Perdue forms team to fight water ruling. Alabama, Florida see water wars differently. Georgia's 2nd largest banking company suffers another quarterly loss. Troutman Sanders announces salary cuts. Town of 500 pays price for suing developers. HUD allots $1.9 million for housing vouchers in Georgia. New trees coming to UGA campus. Surgeon general nominee's weight questioned.
Some opinion:
Your Luckovich fix. Jim Wooten says to thank Sonny we're not California. What's a disabled, homeless ex-con to do?
And from elsewhere in Georgia:
InsiderAdvantage: In column, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle declares state leaders rising to budget challenge.

How could Reed be responsible for furloughs a year ago, since he serves in the GA Senate not on the City Council? Don't know much about Council politics but doesn't the Council President run things?

Miracle Man Now Belongs Solely to Marvel Comics
- Written by Jeremy Shane on Friday, September 14 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Marvel looks to one-up DC in Alan Moore rage department, now sole owner of Miracle Man/Marvelman rights.
Source: Oh Danny Boy
Danny Best over at Oh Danny Boy! blog has posted the documents from the final round of trademark filings in this long running case. On-going from the 80's, this case has been one of the longest running copyright court battles in history. Marvel had laid claim to owning the Marvelman copyright years ago, but the character had also been named as Miracleman to differentiate American and English publishing rights. The creators of the seires eventually regained the rights after the publisher went out of business and one of them sold his share to Todd McFarlane. Todd proceeded to use the character without permission of the other owner - Neil Gaiman. This kicked off a decade of legal battles between the two, with Gaiman eventually coming out on top and then turning over his rights to Marvel, which may be the best way for Gaiman and Miracleman partner Mark Buckingham, to finish their story.
Clearly part of the settlement between Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane included McFarlane giving up his rights to the Miracleman name, and a deal between Gaiman and Marvel would have been sealed as far back as the lodging of the original case in 2002, when Marvel advanced Gaiman money against the 1602 mini-series. The actual machinations of the deal will surely see the light of day eventually, but, for now, with Marvel now owning both the Marvelman and Miracleman names and trademarks, the way is now clearer for both a reprinting of the Miracleman/Marvelman series by Alan Moore, Alan Davis, Garry Leach, Rick Vietch, John Totleben and co, along with the Neil Gaiman/Mark Buckingham Miracleman series. It also means that, finally, Gaiman and Buckingham might well take the opportunity to finally finish their storyline, over two decades after they started.
