Get Your Java Jolt On!
Guest blogger JJ Virgin: Somewhere in the morning rush between getting yourself ready for work and getting the kids ready for school and out the door on time, you pour yourself a cup of coffee -- a little cup of sanity to get you through the dash around town. Most likely, it's part of your routine, as standard as grabbing your purse on the way out of the house. So you may not have given a second thought to the fact that there's been a lot of debate recently about whether drinking coffee is beneficial or detrimental to overall health.
One of the pluses is that caffeine increases the body's metabolic and fat-breakdown rates by using fat as a fuel during exercise as well as during rest. And a recent Australian study revealed another reason to enjoy a cup of joe: It helps you sprint faster. The researchers gave fit athletes a 300-milligram dose of caffeine one hour before they ran five sets of 6 x 20-meter sprints; the runners who had consumed caffeine ran faster than those who hadn't. Scientists believe that this is because the stimulant enhances reaction time and running speed.
Not only may caffeine enhance your workout, but according to another study, it may also accelerate your post-exercise recovery time. This study involved cyclists riding hard for two consecutive days. On the first day, the cyclists consumed a low-carb post-workout dinner, designed to diminish their muscle-glycogen (read: energy) stores prior to the next day's workout. After the second day of cycling, they were given drinks that contained either carbs alone or carbs plus caffeine. The researchers found that the glycogen stores of the cyclists who had been given the caffeine were 66 percent higher than those whose drink had contained only carbs.
I'm all for drinking one to two cups of coffee per day, but one of the pitfalls for coffee drinkers is the temptation to load their coffee with sugar or artificial sweeteners. Resist the urge: Try simply adding a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to your coffee grounds. The result is a sweet, sugar-free treat!

I was literally double checking the scores, wrapping the library in cellophane for the official Millard Fillmore award presentation when out of nowhere, username Tracy dropped this bomb:
If you decide this is the time to start your own business that you have always imagined, the library can help. We have books, computer databases, and professional speakers that can give you information and inspiration. The list of speakers is available on our website, and also in a publication called Beyond the Books, it's available at all our branches.
Throughout my years working for Mid-Continent, I have often wondered what it would be like to have a pig in the library. It seems as if my wish will come true. On Saturday, September 25 at 2:00, Stable T. Farms will present the Farm Animals to You program at the Blue Springs North Branch. I am told that the animals will be allowed into the library (a tarp will be provided.) Joining the pig named Dora, there will be a chicken, a duck, a rabbit, and a goat.
What do you get when you gather some drill team library carts, great decorations, AND some fun librarians------with bags FULL of candy?
You get the makings for a fantastic parade entry!
The Mid-Continent Public Library System was superbly represented at the Blue Springs Fall Fun Fest Parade. The parade was held on the 18th of September, and it WAS fun for all!
The cast of the unforgettable 80's movie The Breakfast Club reunited at Lincoln Center in New York City Monday night to remember the late director John Hughes.

The North Oak Branch has a mascot. That mascot is Clifford the dog, and he is very popular with the kids. Whenever our youngest patrons come in to visit us, they usually have a good hello and a hug from Clifford as well.
So, Clifford is sending our young patrons on a scavenger hunt! Kids can following Clifford's footprints on the display and find the corresponding color footprints within the kids' area. So far, Clifford has visited the board books and our bundle display. Be sure to come back and find out where Clifford has gone next.

Do you need your taxes figured for you? Do you need a flu shot? Want to vote in the next election? Do you want paper copies of tax forms? Are you a homeless teenager needing referral to a helping agency? These are all non-library services provided by MCPL. Did you know that patrons ask us to sell them stamps, fax their documents, and a host of other non-library functions? It all goes to show two things: first, we strive to do as much as we can to assist our patrons in as many ways as possible; and second, life these days require attention to countless details. If we can help, we will.
Who remembers those wonderful old musicals featuring such great talents as Carmen Miranda, Alice Faye, Betty Grable, and a host of other singers and dancers who mesmerized audiences with their lavish costumes, dazzling vocals, phantasmagoric sets, and make-you-get-off-the-sofa and dance (!!!) choreography?
Okay, so I am admittedly the biggest book geek on the planet (or at least among the top 100 in Kansas City), and some of my most exciting moments in life are when I get to meet authors of books that I have read and loved. With the way I gush and swoon and rush to get in line for autographs and photos, you'd think I was meeting the latest Hollywood heartthrob. But honestly, I think authors are the best celebrities ever. I maintain an ever-growing collection of signed books and pictures of me with my biggest, geekiest smile standing next to some super famous writers; it's fantastic.
The last full week in September is Deaf Awareness Week. The Excelsior Springs Branch is honoring American Sign Language this week by displaying our wide array of books and video recordings on sign language. All of the materials can be checked out.

Good location in Linz (central): you are in a few minutes walfk in city center Room is fully equiped and standard business comfort (no bad surprise) Good Fitness room Breakfast buffet is complete.
Parking is practical but expensive Breakfast room is quite full in the morning ( maybe too small for the size of the hotel)
Location is good. Public garage underneath where bikes can be stored. Breakfast good.
Minimalist room. No wardrobes or drawers. A few storage cubes but everything on show. Only one comfotable chair in a double room. Leaves one feeling that you're camping in an unfinished room!
Very comfortable room with large space. Breakfast is good.
No refridgerator to store cold drink.
Great hotel in excellent location!
All fine!
Nice and modern deco rooms, central location, good restaurant
parking expensive
Location, Parkin spots
Lack of frige in room, breakfast
Our room had more space than we needed. The breakfast had lots of variety. I was able to use a computer in the lobby to print Goggle Map directions. It was within walking distance of all the sights. Make sure you go to Postlingberg via the electric mountain train and have lunch there.
It was a business hotel that lacked Austrian charm. There was a nice park right across the street from the front door but homeless youth with dogs were hanging out there.
Helpful staff
Standard of the hotel room comparing to other Park inn braches we stayed in previously. Overpriced car park (€15/per 24h stay) and breakfast (€17 per person!) also poor management.
staff were unfriendly. sink was blocked for 2 days and we were fobbed off.
Overall nice hotel, value for Money, the balcony are huge, .
Good location, close to city centre
Location, comfortable and clean hotel. Good wifi and professional employees.
A shuttle service between Hotel and Airport would have made life easier. Currently we had to go to the railway station and catch a an hourly shuttle to airport.
staff, room, cleanliness
Our room was not offering a basic intimacy, due to a very closeness to the neighbors buildings. Basically we could see inside the neighbors apartments.
The Breakfast Staff and the Restaurant/Bar Staff were very friendly and accommodating at all times. The gym was adequate and a benefit even if small. The location made walking an easy and preferred option to most all venues.
An Evening Staff member told an expected courier that I was not a guest of the hotel and would not accept the bag being delivered in a less than professional attitude. It costs me not only a missed flight the next day but additional delivery expense. That is the first time I have ever had this occur as much as I travel and intend to write the head office.
Large room, nicely decorated. The room we got turned into the garden and was very quiet
Excessive parking costs. Receptionists did not offer any help regarding travel sites
No tea/coffee making facilities
Clean, well located.
No fridge or tea/coffee facilities. Needs more storage for clothes for more than a two night stay. Breakfast was average compared to some others we have stayed in.
Room was bright, and large enough.
Lack of an Ice Machine and coin laundry at the hotel and lack of a mini fridge in the room.
Clean, quiet. Comfortable beds.
Our second stay was in a room without a bath.
Wifi - perfect in the room. Room - big, pretty, comfortable, had everything needed inside, however no fridge and no coffee machine in the room, but had everything else. Bathroom: excellent. True four-star hotel. Location - absolutely excellent. Would definitely recommend to friends, and book again, if there is a reasonable price again (this room was at a discount).
The only real problem was the air condition - it was so weak, that it was too hot in the room. With the help of the friendly staff, we set it to lowest degree possible and at max power, and still the AC could not cool the room down. It was 34 C outside during the day and 29 at night, so windows had to be always shut and curtains always drawn. Someone from the staff used a vacuum cleaner in the next room at 9am in the morning, and this made noise. Even though I had put a "do not disturb" sign, and "do not clean room" sign on the door, someone from the staff unlocked the door from outside, and tried to get in without any knocking or checking first, while I was in. That was plain rude. The guy apologized, and closed the door, only when he understood that the door was locked with the latch on the inside (letting it open 10cm only). He was all so sorry, but still how can that even happen? Nevermind, the hotel is great despite all this.
well located in the city centre; green surroundings; accommodating lounge-bar-restaurant area helpful, competent staff, nice cuisine, good wines; friendly service; garage;
no real wardrobe - only rags
Good cleran and modern hotel
Great hotel, about a 10-15 min to the old towne center. Very clean, comfortable, great wifi. Main pedestrian boulevard with latest shops is one block away. Great bar and restaruant in the lobby.
Nothing, we enjoyed our stay so much we booked an extra night.
Very pleasant business hotel in excellent position, one block from Haupstrase and hence everything in Linz city centre. Easy to access by car. Good price for room but be aware breakfast is a silly price at 16 eeuro per person. Simple answer for persons paying themselves eat in one of the many local alternatives for half the price.
Great location, responsive staff, comfortable quiet room (with a bath tub!), decent buffet breakfast, on-site indoor parking

Bowman Plating Sentenced for False Statements on Parts
Bowman Plating, a chemical processing company located in Compton, Calif., was sentenced in U.S. District Court, Los Angeles, for providing false statements related to the chemical processing of aircraft parts sold to commercial aviation companies and to the Department of Defense. Bowman was ordered to pay a fine of $500,000, a special assessment of $1,200, and to serve three years of probation.
In 2006, several companies retained Bowman to complete chemical film coating for their aircraft parts. Chemical film coating, also known as chemical conversion coating, is used to provide maximum corrosion resistance to aluminum alloy parts. The companies submitted purchase orders listing the required specifications. The coating was performed and Bowman issued certificates of conformance (COCs) certifying that the aircraft parts were processed in accordance with applicable specifications. The parts were then shipped to Bowman's customers.
Bowman retained a third-party testing company to perform a chemical process control test. Following testing, the company issued a report documenting that the test had failed. Although the parts had already been shipped along with the COCs, Bowman did not notify its customers of the failure.
Mac Esfandi, the company's president, was not available by telephone, and email to him elicited no response.

Yogurt for Treating Acne and Other Acne Myths
There are many myths surrounding acne prevention and treatment that have become popular recently. Some common questions are: "Can eating apples help acne" and "How good is yogurt for treating acne." Many shared views about the causes and treatment of acne don't completely agree with scientific evidence. Fortunately, it isn't necessary to understand them in depth to separate reality from myth. Sometimes you can rely on common experience.
Diet - Watch what you eat for health skin
Although many people believe eating chocolate and fried foods has a direct link on acne, that is simply not the case. Likewise, drinking soda does not increase your chances of developing acne. It is true, however, that diet does play a major role in all vital systems of the body, and therefore has a role in acne prevention.
Fried foods don't directly cause more oil to be produced from the sebaceous glands resulting in increased acne. But foods that do increase the oil production would. Too much salt, however, has been shown to be the only food substance to have an adverse affect. The good news about salt is that tt only worsens existing acne. It doesn't cause it. Conversely, eating a healthy diet has been shown to have a beneficial effect on your skin. For example, eating low-fat diary products, such as yogurt, can help your skin health. Low-fat diary product have high concentrations of dietary Vitamin-A. Low-fat yogurt also has acidophilus ("live" bacteria). The acidophilus in yogurt is good for intestinal health, which has been shown to improve your skin.
Hygiene helps with acne
Hygiene and diet are closely related. The reason they are related, though, is because of people's habits. If you have an unhealthy diet you often tend to have poor hygiene habits. Even so, the power of hygiene on acne is slim.
You are more at risk of developing acne when your pores are plugged, resulting in trapped bacteria. When this happens, your body sends white blood cells to fight the bacteria. The area becomes inflamed, and pus is created which leads to one type of acne.
Because of this, any hygiene habits that tend to block your skin pores are a factor. The effect, however, is minimal. The dead skin cells and bacteria that get trapped, and can't make their way out of the pore to the surface, are only somewhat influenced by whether a person washes their face regularly.
Cleaning your face twice a day in a mild manner is a proper habit to develop. You should avoid harsh, heavy scrubbing multiple times a day. This habit will help encourage healthy skin in general.
But acne is strongly influenced by excess sebum production (a natural skin oil), caused mainly by hormones. Proper hygiene has benefits for many reasons. The major benefit of proper skin hygiene is in treating acne that has already occurred. In this case, medications will have a proper surface to do their most effective work.
Strong cleansers applied harshly don't just clear away the excess oil that plays a role in acne formation, they actually weaken the skin's capacity to treat it. Also, modern makeup products will hardly ever increase your chances of developing acne.
Stress and acne
Stress is often considered to be a major factor in the development of acne. The reason stress is thought to influence acne is because it diminishes the immune system and affects hormones. There has been no direct relationship found between stress and acne. Stress may have a minor influence on existing acne, but as a root cause it ranks very low on the list.
Typically, people with chronic stress also suffer from other health issues. Keep in mind that stress and being challenged by ordinary life events are not the same thing. Stress occurs when someone thinks they're not up to the task of dealing with those challenges well.
Medication - over medicating to treat acne
Many people believe that taking more than the recommended dosage of medications (whether over the counter or prescription) can help treat acne. In the best case, it is a waste of medication. In the worst case, it may hurt the skin. Your best plan is to adhere to the recommended dose on the medication's instructions. If over the counter medications don't help your acne within several weeks, then you should consult with your dermatologist for a different course of treatment.

Tuscaloosa, AL (Sports Network) - Trevor Releford and Trevor Lacey scored 15 points apiece to help lift the Alabama Crimson Tide to a 68-65 win over the Tennessee Volunteers in SEC action at Coleman Coliseum.
Releford scored all 15 of his points in the second half, including a pair of free throws to seal the game with 7 seconds to play. Levi Randolph added 12 points and Andrew Steele scored 11 for the Crimson Tide (9-6, 1-1 SEC).
Jordan McRae scored 21 points to pace the Volunteers (8-6, 0-2), who suffered their third straight loss after winning their previous four outings. It marked the third straight game McRae led the team in scoring, although he was UT's only double-digit scorer on the afternoon.
The Vols grabbed their largest lead of the game at the 8:12 mark of the first half, as a jumper by McRae capped a 7-0 run and gave the visitors a 20-12 advantage. UT went on to take a 28-24 halftime lead after holding Alabama to 26.7-percent shooting (8-of-30) in the opening frame.
Alabama heated up in the second stanza, shooting 62.5 percent from the floor while going a perfect 12-of-12 at the foul line. The Crimson Tide seized control with a 10-0 run late in regulation, turning a 55-52 deficit into a 62-55 cushion with 2:55 remaining. Tennessee's Trae Golden had a decent look at a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer, but his shot bounced off the back of the rim and Alabama prevailed.
The Tide were outrebounded by a 40-25 margin for the game, but they made up for it with that big second half and by winning the turnover battle. UA forced 16 turnovers while committing only seven in the contest.

The amazing offer has come as part of the exclusive auction for the Rider's for Health charity which is being held at Donington Park on Thursday June 21.
The two places on this amazing ride will be auctioned to raise money for Riders The famous motorcycling pair are hoping to raise a minimum of £20,000 for the charity from the sale.
The lucky highest bidders will fly to Cape Town, South Africa this summer where they will be provided with a BMW motorcycle and join a very select convoy who will meet up with the Long Way Down team for the final two days of the ride as they head down to Cape Agulhas.
This incredible experience will go on sale as part of the Riders for Health auction, where tens-of-thousands of pounds will be raised to support Riders' lifesaving programmes in Africa. Thousands of MotoGP fans will be bidding for exclusive race memorabilia, all offered up by the MotoGP riders themselves.
Riders are one of the three charities that are being supported by McGregor and Boorman on Long Way Down. The 15,000 mile adventure started in May 2007 at John O'Groats, Scotland and finishes at the most southern point of South Africa - Cape Agulhas, taking in 20 spectacular countries in total.
The Long Way Down television series is due to air on the BBC in Autumn this year.
During the trip, McGregor and Boorman will be visiting a Riders' programme in Kenya where they will see how Riders are using motorcycles and a system of preventative maintenance and vehicle management to help health workers deliver healthcare to rural communities.McGregor said: "Traveling the Long Way Down through Africa, Charley and I have a first hand understanding of the vastness of this continent and the great distances between borders, towns and villages. The work Riders for Health do here is vital, bridging the gaps between communities and bringing health services to the people of Africa.

TAG Farnborough Promotes Europe-Asia Links
TAG Farnborough Airport is at ABACE highlighting the importance of the Europe-Asia business aviation industry, and its role in facilitating that. The airport is 40 miles from central London, and recently has invested more than $135 million in infrastructure.
Hangar and office space totals more than 240,000 sq ft; FBO amenities include concierge service. TAG Farnborough Engineering offers aircraft maintenance, and visitors can stay overnight in the TAG Group's Aviator Hotel.
"With Asia's economic significance continuing to grow on the global stage," said TAG Farnborough CEO Brandon O'Reilly, "business aviation has an increasingly important role to play in providing point-to-point connections between business centers in Asia and Europe, particularly where commercial aviation does not provide timely and direct service."
TAG Farnborough is exhibiting at ABACE for the third successive year, sharing a booth (H126) with charter/management and charter brokerage firm TAG Aviation Asia, a sister TAG Group company. –M.T.

Yes, I'm 100% this is a hardware problem. In order of probability (ie, things to swap):
Probably the RAM.
Might be the CPU.
Possibly the Motherboard.
Strange one this.....
Windows Server 2003 keeps blue screening after a short period of time. Each time with a different reason if any is given if any at all. The machine is set up correctly in terms of drivers etc. and had previously been running fine.
What was really interesting was that I booted it from a BartPE disk into windows xp pro and it did the same.
I originally tested the ram with windows memory diagnostic which it passed. I then tried it later.... it failed.
I tested another machine which was running ok and had good ram (it passed), so I transferred that ram into the server. It then failed the diagnostic. I put the ram back in the original machine....it passed!
Have changed the motherboard and power supply in the server yet still the same problem.
I'm puzzled!
Yes, I'm 100% this is a hardware problem. In order of probability (ie, things to swap):
Probably the RAM.
Might be the CPU.
Possibly the Motherboard.
Have you tested the ram with memtest86+ ???
the next point of call is the cpu.
unless the memory you tried wasn't the same as the original stuff in the server as this may cause problems
also try the ram from the server in this other machine that you have and retry the diagnostics
Also check the timings of the ram between the 2 machines since you have that luxury. I had a HP proliant decided one morining during the summer to overclock its own ram leading to stabiltiy issues like this.
After thats its as other say check CPU especially if its AMD
Mobo and of course failing PSU could do the same.
Also cpu coolong.
Just a thought as you have the luxury to just swap all parts it would seem, have you tried swaping the HDD over to the one that works? That would eliminate if there is anything wrong with hardware.

Recently, I covered Tokay High's "home" football opener on the road against Bear Creek at McNair High School and was impressed how the Tiger fans turned out considering the game was not held at Tokay's traditional home field, the Grape Bowl.
The same thing happened last Friday when Lodi played its own "home" game at McNair.

Somebody doesn't want Bellator to go on PPV.
For the second time in two attempts, Bellator was hit with a late injury to the main eventer in its attempt to do a PPV. Reports are that Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez suffered a concussion in training and will be out of the 5/17 trilogy fight with Michael Chandler scheduled for next Saturday night in Southhaven, MS.
When asked at the company's show in Rama, ONT, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney denied the reports, but Sherdog and MMA Fighting have both reported the injury. Greg Savage of Sherdog reported last night that Will Brooks, who was scheduled for an undercard showcase fight against Nate Jolly, would face Chandler instead.
If that was the case, Quinton Jackson vs. King Mo Lawal would be the real main event of the show.

Understanding sports hernias
That chronic groin pain sometimes felt by athletes may be called a sports hernia, but it's not really a hernia at all, according to Dr. Katherine G. Lamond, assistant professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and a surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center. She said they are different from what's normally thought of as a hernia and sometimes tough to diagnose. But once doctors determine that this is the cause, there is effective treatment.

The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history is plaguing West Africa, where at least 2,400 people have died. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are at the center of the outbreak, which has now also spread to Nigeria. Learn more about this deadly disease.
Four American medical workers have been infected with the disease and taken home to the U.S. for treatment. Dr. Kent Brantly, one of the first American workers infected, has donated blood to Dr. Rick Sacra, who more recently became infected, in the hopes that antibodies in Brantly's blood will help Sacra recover. On Sept. 30, 2014, the CDC announced that the first case of Ebola had been diagnosed in the United States. The unidentified man left Liberia on September 19 and arrived in the United States on September 20 and later got sick. Officials did not release many details about the victim.
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a disease caused by one of five different Ebola viruses. Four of the strains can cause severe illness in humans and animals. The fifth, Reston virus, has caused illness in some animals, but not in humans.
Humans can be infected by other humans if they come in contact with body fluids from an infected person or contaminated objects from infected persons. Humans can also be exposed to the virus through activities like, for example, butchering infected animals.
Symptoms of Ebola typically include weakness, fever, aches, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Additional experiences include rash, red eyes, chest pain, throat soreness, difficulty breathing or swallowing and bleeding, both externally and internally.
Typically, symptoms appear 8 to 10 days after exposure to the virus, but the incubation period can span two to 21 days.
Unprotected health care workers are susceptible to infection because of their close contact with patients during treatment.
According to the World Health Organization, "there is no specific treatment or vaccine," and the fatality rate can be up to 90 percent. Patients are given supportive care, which includes providing fluids and electrolytes and food.
The first human outbreaks occurred in 1976, one in northern Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in Central Africa and the other in southern Sudan (now South Sudan).
The virus is named after the Ebola River, where the virus was first recognized in 1976, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While the exact reservoir of Ebola viruses is still unknown, researchers believe the most likely natural hosts are fruit bats.
Michael Phelps was arrested in Maryland for driving under the influence early Tuesday. Phelps made history at the 2012 London Olympics by becoming the most decorated Olympian ever. Take a look back at the swimmer's life and career.
Phelps began swimming at the age of 7 when he joined the North Baltimore Aquatic Center.
He was initially trained by Bob Bowman, who is still his coach today.
Phelps made his Olympic debut at the 2000 Sydney Games at the age of 15. He finished fifth in the 200m butterfly.
The Baltimore native returned to the Olympics in 2004 where he earned six gold medals and two bronze. His performance tied the record books as he matched former Russian gymnast Alexander Dityatin with winning eight medals at a single Olympics.
Following the Athens Games, Phelps underwent some personal changes. He enrolled at the University of Michigan, where his coach, Bob Bowman, was leading the Wolverines. Phelps attended classes and trained under Bowman to prepare for the Beijing Games.
Phelps continued to improve after the 2004 Olympics, proven by his seven gold medals and five world records at the 2007 World Championships.
Heading into Beijing, all eyes were on Phelps as he tried to do something no swimmer had done before – win eight Olympic gold medals. The previous mark was set by American Mark Spitz, who won seven golds at the 1972 Olympics.
Phelps lived up to the expectations in Beijing and marched into the record books with eight Olympic gold medals. The American set world records in four of his five individual events. He was also a member of three record-setting relay teams.
After his Beijing feat Phelps ran into some trouble in his personal life. In 2009 a photo of Phelps holding a marijuana pipe appeared in a London tabloid. Phelps apologized for the incident and called his behavior "inappropriate." He was suspended by USA Swimming for three months.
Phelps started to spend less time in the pool following the Beijing Games and his suspension, skipping practices and participating in minimal events.
He ultimately decided to keep swimming and eased back into competition.
At the 2009 World Championships Phelps won five races.
In 2011 he took home four golds, two silvers and a bronze. Both of Phelps' silver medals came behind his compatriot Ryan Lochte, who could be the Baltimore native's biggest threat in London.
Since the 2011 Worlds Phelps has been focused on London, where in his final Olympics he vaulted himself atop the record books.

Crysis + 9 VMs: Core i7 and 24GB RAM
Kingston memory demonstrated an Intel Core i7 920 system (YouTube) this week packed with 24 GB of DDR3 of the company's ValueRAM memory. The goal of course, was to show off how stable the system can be with a total of nine virtual machines running simultaneously. The cherry on top was having Crysis run on one of the nine VMs.
The system was configured with the following hardware:
- Intel Core i7 920
- Gigabyte GA-EX58 UD5 motherboard
- Six 4 GB DDR3 modules totaling 24 GB
- Unnamed Nvidia graphics card
The demo ran through an overnight run of MemTest86+ showing the system as being rock solid. Then, Windows Vista was loaded with VMware Server and nine Vista VMs were loaded. Crysis was launched on the last VM, and seemingly performed well--although no actual gameplay was shown. At this point, we'll have to say that the loading screen for Crysis is really not a valid indication of true performance. It's a shame Kingston did not allow the game to run through.
The system at its peaked however, used just 21 GB of memory with 3 GB to spare.
Clearly this was a demonstration of Kingston's ValueRAM stability, but honestly, the same can be accomplished with memory from other manufacturers too. The cost of Kingston's ValueRAM however, is usually significantly less than "higher-end" memory.
Which memory manufacturer do you prefer? Do you care about any particular brand? Or are you game with any memory that's simply compatible?

0etrnl_frost , March 5, 2009 7:08 PMI have had no problems with Crucial - either their Ballistix line or otherwise. And they're quite a bit less expensive than Kingston.
008nwsula , March 5, 2009 7:08 PMI prefer Patriot
3mrubermonkey , March 5, 2009 7:14 PMWould have been impressive eight virtual machines running with eight separate instances of Crysis running on all of the virtual machines and actual simultaneous game play, possible using four GTX 295 (Obviously not in SLI).
1ckthecerealkiller , March 5, 2009 7:18 PMFor value G.Skill or Patriot
-8bone squat , March 5, 2009 7:31 PMI wanted to see some benchies. What a pointless article. I don't care what brand the RAM is so long as it is reliable. I find Kingston to be the most compatible and reliable but Gskill and OCZ have been great so far too.
3Anonymous , March 5, 2009 7:33 PMSo a core i7 and 24 gigs of ram just to run 9 copies of vista at idle, doing nothing. And one copy of crysis at the into screen doing nothing.
This is suppose to be impressive how? Ok they found a way to eat 24 gigs of ram....doing nothing.....leet?
2waikano , March 5, 2009 7:33 PMPatriot, for several reasons, but Made in the US is always nice to see on Tech Stuff.
0radnor , March 5, 2009 7:38 PMOf course they didn't run the game. It is not "easy" to use powerfull GPUs on VMware, you got to reserve it.
And much less 8 Instances of it running full power. I can't imagine the mess it would be. Not to talk about keyboards,mouse, soundcards, ad nauseam.
Pretty great it "executed" crysis on a "emulated" GPU.
0A Stoner , March 5, 2009 7:43 PMDon't care. I need large quantities and who ever provides the high qantity and with some descent speed for a price I can afford gets the cash.

Stupid Microsoft VirtualPC provides a fake Intel graphics adapter with no connection to the underlying DirectX hardware. Of course, it doesn't support USB either, which makes it a wholly worthless piece of crap. No wonder its now free.
5Daguava , March 5, 2009 8:19 PMMushkin memory all the way.
0tpi2007 , March 5, 2009 8:22 PMI have two kits of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 memory, both running flawlessly.
The first one I bought was 2 x 1 GB, running at 667 Mhz with 4-4-4-12 timings at 1.9, absolutely stable and barely warm (curiously it didn't like running at the stock JEDEC standard of 667 at 5-5-5-15 at 1.8v - it ran flawlessly but it produced a lot more heat than at 1.9v 4-4-412 timings. It's weird, but it's true)
The second is a 2 x 2GB XMS2 DHX running at 800Mhz with stock timings of 5-5-5-18 and stock voltage of 1.8v.
Both of them were being sold for very competitive prices at this quality.
-2jawshoeaw , March 5, 2009 8:50 PMVista doing nothing = doing too much
2jhansonxi , March 5, 2009 8:51 PMI've had several pairs of Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 2.2V modules fail. I've had a pair of Corsair TwinX DDR 400 fail. Both were replaced under warranty and I don't hold a grudge against either brand. But having experienced data corruption with faulty RAM I went with 8GB of Kingston KVR800D2E5K2/4G ECC memory in my Asus M3A78-EM. With a large amount of memory the chance of a bad or flipped bit is rather high and the performance penalty is minor. Unregistered ECC modules are not much more than non-ECC. The Kingstons were only $45/pair.

So we're now halfway through the Green Deal and ECO consultation and the past four weeks has been a busy period of stakeholder engagement. We've attended many events – covering a vast variety of subjects – across England, Wales and Scotland. These events have been invaluable to understand your views on the Green Deal and ECO policies and last week was no exception.
Many of you tuned into the Green Deal and ECO webchat which took place for an hour last Thursday. We had 1,260 readers (a DECC record!), asking questions on a whole range of Green Deal and ECO issues. The DECC officials taking part in the webchat did a great job of answering as many of the 250+ questions as possible.
Don't worry if you missed the webchat, you can replay the questions and answers on the DECC website and in response to a couple of requests during the webchat, a pdf of the questions with answers will also be made available (also on the DECC site).
In addition to the webchat, a new stakeholder group – The Green Deal Women's Panel – kicked off last week. This is a group of prominent women, including Sarah Butler-Sloss, Baroness Parminter, Ann Robinson, Tessa Tennant, Catherine Ashworth, Philippa Forrester, Angela Brady and chaired by Margot James MP. This group of representatives from politics, journalism, industry and the charities has been brought together to consider effective communication and engagement routes to reach women. Based on the enthusiasm, creativity and ideas at the first meeting, it's shaping up to be an exciting forum and I'm looking forward to the next instalment in the Spring.
Please do continue to feed in your views to the Green Deal and ECO Consultation.
There is now additional Green Deal and ECO consultation going on re the recent changes in the Autumn Statement 2013. Whatever that outcome – it will be the smaller businesses that will suffer as they will find it harder to compete with those established in the markets. The considerably lower price per tonne/cost savings etc now being put forward by the all powerful energy companies, will mean barriers to entry for many possible new comers.
Only 1 week to go until the launch date and last weeks announcement on the RHI with possible links to Green Deal has got quite a few people talking.
We are all waiting with baited breath for announcements on the Green Deal and the RHI- might we hear anything in the budget?
Hi Tracy A couple of questions . Firstly, is it possible for DECC to get the Dec Q&A blog responses to GD on the web during January? Secondly, having read the blog concerns regarding the weaknesses in the proposed GD Golden Rule ie evidence by the BGas pilot of very poor consumer take up due to insufficient incentive to act – an early indication of ECO subsidy to ensure a likely saving of circa 20% on projected fuel bills would appear essential. Will DECC therefore be market testing the GD Golden Rule concept prior to launch to establish the level of necessary ECO tariff subsidy? Thanks
The Green Deal webchat Q&A has now been published on http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/news/grd_webchat/grd_webchat.aspx
See above.
I note a new stakeholder group – The Green Deal Women's Panel – has been created.
May I suggest a communities group be established with national representatives for schools, faith groups, resident associations, sports clubs, VCSs etc, attending as these organisations will be pivotal in generating demand at the local level.
On engaging communities we:
•are supporting the Low Carbon Communities Network conference this weekend which includes a session on Green Deal
•have supported the recent Green Deal community consultation events (including providing speakers) run by the Greening Campaign (11 events in total);
•note that many of the applications for the DECC funded (£10m) Local Energy Assessment Fund are proposing to carry out capacity building work with the Green Deal in mind; and
•have established a DECC Ministerial Community Energy Contact Group where there is an option to discuss Green Deal issues if agreed with the Chair.
Many energy assessors are seriously concerned at the DECC'S proposed let's leave it to "market forces" concerning fee's for green deal advisors, this may lead to biased reports and open to abuse by panels, just like the epc fiasco, DECC you are about to ruin the Green deal with this attitude.
We expect a variety of different offers by the market, which would provide consumers with a choice about how the cost of assessment for their particular property is met.
However a Green Deal Advisor is paid, the same software tools and processes will have to be used, and the same quality assurance will be carried out.
Once the Green Deal is established, the market will continue to be monitored to ensure it is operating effectively. We have taken powers in the Energy Act 2011 to make provisions in respect of the payment of Green Deal Advisors and charges to customers if this is deemed necessary.
Hi Tracy
I did post a question on the webchat which unfortunatley appeared to go unanswered, would you mind having a go please.
"Comment From lee cattermole lee cattermole : ]
I would like to understand how the GD and ECO is going to fill the gap left by CERT funding for off gas fuel poor households. Presently there's an incentive that works very well for gas DNO's to connect deprived areas and fuel poor residents to the gas mains. CERT funding is a valuable addition and greatly supports the projects by contributing towards the required internal works (central heating systems). The way the GD and ECO are proposed many of these households will not generate the savings in fuel costs as they are under heating their homes, yet they won't be eligible to the affordable warmth element of ECO so they fall into an unnecessary void as the qualifying criteria for the schemes will not be complementary. This will have a negative impact across all housing sectors and will lead to a significant reduction in the number of households that benefit from a connection to the gas infrastructure each year. Has there been consultation with the gas DNO companies regarding this and I would like to know how the problem could be addressed."
The Green Deal and ECO webchat Q&A is now available online. The Green Deal Team have answered all the questions they were unable to answer during the session. These are available at http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/news/grd_webchat/grd_webchat.aspx

What's new with Noem and farm subsidies?
The activist Environmental Working Group came out last week with an eye-popping report headline on a report: "Taxpayers Paid $6.2 Million in Farm Subsidies to Members of Congress, Families." And right near the top of the report, below Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn. (who with his wife collected $3.5 million in agricultural support), is South Dakota's own Rep. Kristi Noem. EWG says she's received $480,790.
But it's important to read carefully to figure out exactly what EWG is reporting here. They're not saying Noem received almost $500,000 while sitting as a member of Congress (she was sworn in on Jan. 3, 2011). They're saying that Noem's received that much since the start of its invaluable database in 1995.
Noem's receipt of farm subsidies was well-reported in her 2010 campaign against Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (though I'm sure not as heavily reported as Noem's opponents would have wished), when people tossed around a $3 million figure that included money paid to Noem's family as well as herself.
So what's new here? EWG has two years in its report that weren't there during Noem's campaign for the House: 2010 and 2011.
In each those years, Noem personally received $1,370 in direct farm payments. It's the first time Noem had personally received any direct payments since 1997. She's never gotten very much money personally in direct payments — her EWG page even lists her with a negative value, though that's an accounting illusion reflecting a repayment Noem made in the first year of EWG's database of federal money she had previously received.
The real money in Noem's farm subsidy past comes from the family-owned Racota Valley Ranch. That's the place that's received more than $3 million since 1995, $2.6 million of which was direct payments, $380,000 in disaster subsidies and $186,000 in conservation payments.
In 2008, the last year the U.S. Department of Agriculture made this information available to EWG, Noem was listed as having a 16.9 percent share in the ranch. Extrapolating that figure to the present day, EWG comes up with its $480,790 figure.
In 2010 and 2011, the two years that weren't public when Noem first ran for Congress, Racota Valley received $71,916 and $68,549 in total farm subsidies (most of that in direct payments).
But Noem's spokesperson said the congresswoman actually sold her interest in Racota Valley in 2008. That would mean she personally hasn't received any farm payments, other than the two personal $1,370 payments, since she took office. That would also take about $37,000 off Noem's EWG estimate (removing the figures for 2009, 2010 and 2011).
Of course, Racota Valley is still a family-owned ranch, so Noem's close relatives are still benefitting from these payments even if she personally isn't. And the EWG data doesn't include crop insurance, a major program for South Dakota farmers (and one in which Noem has a personal connection, with her husband, Bryon, owning a crop insurance business).
An interesting, possibly meaningless side note: Racota Valley racked up that $3 million figure chiefly in a few big years: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2006. Those five years accounted for $1.9 million of the $3.1 million Racota Valley received from 1995 to 2011.
If you draw a cutoff in the year 2007 (when Racota Valley's payments fell by two-thirds from $258,000 to $87,000), then from 2007 to present Racota Valley received an average of $86,688 per year. That's a lot of money, but not compared to 1995-2006, when the ranch received an average $230,431 per year. Probably coincidentally, 2007 is when Noem began serving in the state Legislature.
The final important bit of context is the upcoming farm bill, which the House is scheduled to mark up in a week or two. The already-passed Senate version eliminates these direct payments while preserving the crop insurance program, and the House version might do the same. Noem has said that's a move she can support. It's also a popular move in South Dakota, if you have to cut any farm subsidies. Northern states benefit much more from crop insurance than they do from direct payments, which disproportionately go to southern farmers.
Of possible relevance: here's a list of the Varileks who've received farm subsidies over that time. I've reached out to the Varilek campaign to see if any of them are closely related to Matt.
This EWG report doesn't have very much new information about Kristi Noem's relationship to farm subsidies, though by reviving the issue of Noem's past payments they're not doing any favors to her.

Eight units of a Circleville apartment building were destroyed early Sunday morning during a fire.
Six fire departments responded to the 200 block of Logan Street at about 5:30 a.m.
All occupants safely escaped, but firefighters said some pet hamsters were killed.
Logan Street and the block surrounding the fire were closed while crews worked to put out the blaze. Residents watched from a nearby church that opened its doors to people who were forced from their apartments by the fire.
Fire officials say investigators will go through the rubble and try to piece together what happened on Tuesday.

Rhys Meyers dons cape for 'Mandrake'
Billed as an updated take on the classic Hearst comic book, the Mandrake character is an extreme escape artist embroiled in international espionage.
"Mandrake" marks the first picture to result from Omega and Baldwin's first-look production deal.
Omega is financing and selling worldwide and producing together with Baldwin and Hyde Park Entertainment. The film is scheduled to shoot early next year in China and the U.S.
"This is a rare opportunity to reinvent one of the all-time classic comic book characters and create a new kind of hero for international audiences," Russell said.
BEG chief Howard Baldwin said he is pleased to be in business with Omega and Hearst in bringing "Mandrake" to the big screen.
Omega Entertainment was formed in 2006 by Markus Barmettler and Enrique Steiger, who hired former Lakeshore Entertainment president Peter Rogers as president of its operations.
Baldwin's credits include the biopic "Ray," which earned an Oscar for star Jamie Foxx. Future projects include a big-screen adaptation of the classic Ayn Rand novel "Atlas Shrugged," to star Angelina Jolie and be directed by Vadim Perelman.

|Hyperbolic Models of Homogeneous Two-Fluid Mixtures
|Sergey L. GavrilyukHenri Gouin1, 2Yurii Perepechko
|One derives the governing equations and the Rankine - Hugoniot conditions for a mixture of two miscible fluids using an extended form of Hamilton's principle of least action. The Lagrangian is constructed as the difference between the kinetic energy and a potential depending on the relative velocity of components. To obtain the governing equations and the jump conditions one uses two reference frames related with the Lagrangian coordinates of each component. Under some hypotheses on flow properties one proves the hyperbolicity of the governing system for small relative velocity of phases.

Some of my favorites
Lord Huron is a studied attempt at a sepia-toned Old West sound, with good songs that enhance those contrivances.
Visit the Photo Place
By Jonas Beals
THE FOLLOWING are a few of my recent music obsessions. These aren't necessarily the best songs I've heard lately, nor can they all be described as new. But I've been turning to all of them for comfort, entertainment and wonder.
Although increasingly rare these days, you can still get an occasional music recommendation from an actual person. Such was the case for me and Lord Huron's 2012 debut album "Lonesome Dreams."
It drips with the sort of annoying reverb vocals that have become the Auto-Tune of indie-folk, but it's still a worthy listen, thanks to direct, emotional lyrics and the gauzy sheen of a spaghetti-western soundtrack.
Two tracks stand above the rest. "Lullaby," has a stunning moment when atmospheric twang turns into an azure Caribbean dreamscape, thanks to a well-placed marimba.
"Brother" has thrived under the pressure of my "repeat" button because it is a simple devotional about friendship and family relationships. It is a worthy pillar of strength, inspirational and crushing at the same time.
There he is again. Sorry for the return trips to this well, but he's my hero, so deal with it.
I recently watched a video of Phish's New Year's Eve concert, which was golf-themed and featured lots of astroturf. They rang in the new year with a brief take on "Auld Lang Syne" before launching into "Tweezer Reprise," essentially an instrumental, although it has a few nonsensical lyrics about freezers and tweezers. There were backup singers on stage for that song, a rare move for Phish. It was hard to tell whether guitarist Trey Anastasio was laughing because he was excited, or because of the absurdity of having backup singers for what is essentially an instrumental.
That made me think of Zappa, who made some really fantastic backup singers sing some really bizarre lyrics over his career. One of those lyrics, from "Montana," is:
Who sings those lyrics on the 1973 album "Over-Nite Sensation?" That would be Tina Turner and the Ikettes. The song is about farming dental floss. With tweezers.
There has always been a contrarian current running beneath the crashing tidal wave of popular hip-hop--conscious rappers and backpackers with massive vocabularies, poetic sensibilities, senses of humor and little time for the consumerist trappings of mainstream hip-hop.
Joey Bada$$, a Brooklyn rapper who recently turned 18, rides those undercurrents surprisingly well on his first mixtape, "1999."
He worked with some good producers on the album, including MF DOOM and J Dilla, who surround his lyrics with a suitably high-IQ atmosphere.
Not that Joey's rhymes are devoid of swagger, violence, braggadocio and some heavy language, it's just that they seem to serve a more enlightening purpose. He's like a young Chuck D with the flow of Phife Dawg. His subject matter dances all over the cultural spectrum. In "Waves" he manages to rap about spermatozoa, religion, tofu and alfredo sauce while making a fairly ambitious and coherent statement about hard work, positive thinking and success.

Synopsis: In this Christmas episode, Magnum is hired by five wide-eyed schoolgirls to locate their teacher, Linda Booton (Katherine Cannon). Conventional wisdom is that Linda has run off with her boyfriend, but the girls insists that the lady was kidnapped. As Magnum chases down a variety of false leads, it becomes obvious (to the viewer, if not the hero) that he has been duped, and that the real crime at hand involves stealing a valuable Gauguin original from the Robin Masters estate! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Its the best holiday movie.

Nike Air Footscape Desert Chukka "Hyper Pink" – Available
July 2nd, 2014 by Patrick Johnson | No comments
The Nike Air Footscape Desert Chukka kicked things off in a big way this past January thanks to the release of three monochromatic lifestyle looks but then seemingly disappeared from shelves until the warmer months started to hit. The latest "Hyper Pink" pair is a curious one to say the least, as it gives us a lifestyle ready appearance thanks to a cargo khaki base that's then immediately overshadowed by the woven portions of hyper pink and photo blue. Just incase the woven styling of the Air Jordan Future hasn't been working for you, the unique color palettes this silhouette continues to churn out may be a welcomed alternative. What do you think? Hit the click for a better view and be sure to grab your pair today from select retailers like Packer Shoes.
