On the raptors website it says its running on the regular sportsnet
its Sportsnet
Are we talking exhibition game versus Boston on December 18th?
Go to Raptors.com and see SportsnetONE or provide a different source please.
Ugh, Bell has SN/SN1 in Sports Pack 2. I only have Sports Pack 1 (TSN, NFL network and some other shit). I refuse to pay $8 for SN/SN1 (I wouldn't watch the other channels in that pack). I guess I'll find a stream or something...
Raptors.com has the game scheduled to air on SN1.
Sportsnet.ca has the game scheduled to air on SportsNet.
I'm going to fix the thread title and roll with SN, e2thed, and iankanzero.

Not a bad showing for the first time out.
Too bad the Raps starters couldn't put it away against the C's bench.
Bargnani had 9 rebounds and actually had effort on the glass.
ED put up his stat line for the year: 10/10.
DD with 2 three's???? Wha?
oh wait upon further review e'twaun moore was drafted in the 2nd round. my bad.
I was impressed with Bargnani's effort - but as stated in other threads, I would like to see this sustained. Hopefully this continues for the next several games. He needs to improve his offensive efficiency though - he was shooting a lot of bricks which gave the Celtics easy rebounds.
I was very impressed with Davis.
The guys I was least impressed with were Bayless and Butler. Whenever Bayless was in the game, the offense just kind of went stagnant - he also had more turnovers (4) than assists (3). You can't have that in your PG.
Butler's stat line was pretty horrendous: 20min, 0/4fg, 1rb, 1to, 1bl, 0pts
My man Gary Forbes was pretty effective in 15 minutes
Playoffs, here we come!
Read my blog, The Picket Fence. Guaranteed to make you think or your money back!
Follow me on Twitter.
They are going to lose so many games
I don't mean this to be negative in any way but the Raptors looked liked much the same team from last year.

I installed slackware 9.1 with no problems until i got to the lilo part. I used simple as the option, and told it to add lilo to the MBR. It attempted to install lilo and gave an error, saying i would have to go back later and try again.
I finished the install but it boots right into xp because of the lack of the bootloader. So i put the install cd backin and try to run pkgtool. It says i cant till i mount my drive, so i follow the commands for mounting hda1 ext2 as it says, but it wont.
How can i go back now and install lilo?

Wright returns, status for opener remains uncertain
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- David Wright spent his Sunday talking to teammates, trainers and coaches, chatting with reporters, sifting through mail. He didn't attempt any work with a baseball, bat or glove. Nor will he for at least a few days.
That does not mean Wright will be unavailable for Opening Day, any more than it portends the opposite. It was an optimistic, realistic and unapologetic third baseman who returned to Mets camp Sunday morning, pining for April 1 but not guaranteeing it.
"It's looking to predict the future -- I can't do that and I won't do that," Wright said. "I'll tell you that's my goal, but I can't predict one way or the other."
Speaking publicly for the first time since straining his left intercostal muscle during the World Baseball Classic, Wright insisted he reported his injury to the Mets in an appropriate manner, and received no scolding from the organization for not doing so sooner.
"Of course I owe it to be honest to them," Wright said. "And I was."
According to the third baseman, what began as a muscle tweak during training camp evolved into a more persistent pain, keeping him awake at night and eventually affecting his ability to play. But Wright did not see any need to report his injury to the Mets until it became an issue in his own mind.
"If I needed to call somebody every time I felt something," Wright said, "I wouldn't play too many games."
Instead, the Mets learned of the injury after Wright's name showed up on an official trainer's log in Miami. If they were perturbed about that at the time, they are not any longer.
"It's good to have David back," manager Terry Collins said. "He reassured me today he'll be ready. I'm not doubting him, but we certainly have to have a contingency plan in case he's not."
Back in Port St. Lucie, Wright will rest and receive treatment for another few days, allowing the cortisone he received Friday in Manhattan to work its way into his musculature. Sometime this week, Mets doctors will reevaluate Wright to determine the next step.
That should mean a return to baseball activities in what Wright anticipates will be a rapid progression. Because he received 19 plate appearances during Classic play and another 12 before departing for it, Wright does not believe his recovery will take as long as it did last March, when he strained a left oblique muscle before ever playing in a competitive game. That injury resulted in a three-week fundamentals progression that delayed his Grapefruit League debut by a month.
Not only is this injury different in nature, Wright said, but his body is better prepared to combat it thanks to his preparations for the Classic.
"One hundred percent that's my goal -- to be ready for Opening Day," Wright said. "I think that's possible.
To that end, a realistic progression would have Wright returning to Grapefruit League play toward the end of March. But much can happen to change that timetable, as the Mets have seen first hand this spring with starting pitcher Johan Santana, closer Frank Francisco and second baseman Daniel Murphy, all of whom have yet to appear in a big league game.
"I just have to rest for a few days and hopefully knock out that pain," Wright said. "The quicker I can get the pain out of my ribcage, the quicker I can play."
For Wright, one of the more disturbing aspects of this injury was that it tore him away from Team USA, which had begun looking to him as its unofficial leader. Due in part to Wright's proficiency at the plate, including a .438 average and 10 RBIs in four games, broadcasters in Miami dubbed the third baseman "Captain America." His USA teammates quickly embraced the nickname.
"I'm glad that people viewed me that way," Wright said. "I'm very appreciative. But I wasn't doing anything different than I would do here."
For his regular teammates, that's precisely the point; now that Wright is back in camp, the Mets appear positioned to name him the fourth captain in franchise history, joining a list that includes Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter and John Franco. The official title may wait until he is healthy, but the nickname that Wright earned with Team USA may take on a more tangible definition with the Mets.
"I've said all along that it would be very special to me, that it would be an incredible honor considering the other guys that have been captain of this franchise," Wright said. "It's something that I would take very seriously."

Biologists Check on Arizona Fish Diversity
MESA, Ariz. Biologists are checking the diversity of fish in the Lower Salt River and reservoir lakes.
Among the 170 fish caught Monday in one drained section of the 80-foot-wide Arizona Canal -- and then returned to the water -- were whiskered channel catfish up to 3 feet long, colorful rainbow trout and Sonora suckers.
Most of the fish were largemouth bass, which are stocked in lakes for sport fishing.
State and federal biologists use the yearly canal draining to inspect an area just below the Granite Reef Dam on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community between Mesa and Scottsdale.
Scientists examined the different species they found for a variety of reasons, including to ensure native fish are still flourishing.
While two-thirds of native Arizona fish are considered endangered or imperiled, none of those are Salt River fish.
But changes in the habitats and the proliferation of nonnative species could threaten the future survival of native Salt River fish, said Paul Marsh, an ichthyologist and professor at Arizona State University.
"We have to figure out a balance," Marsh said. "There's a very clear conflict between sport fish and native fish, and it's not yet resolved."
Scientists also check on the canal section to find out whether Colorado River species from the Central Arizona Project canal downstream or vegetation-eating grass carp have managed to cross an electric barrier just west of the dam.
Wildlife managers want to make sure striped bass, which are aggressive predators, do not infiltrate the Salt River system.
If that happened, officials said native species in Saguaro, Roosevelt and other upstream lakes could be threatened and the bass might also replace common sport fish enjoyed by Arizona fishing enthusiasts.

I had the opportunity to meet with a group of teens in MoMA's Museum Studies program to discuss what the Department of Communications does for the Museum. Besides writing press releases and pitching stories to the media, among many other things, we think creatively to get the word out about MoMA and MoMA PS1 exhibitions. In this vein, the group brainstormed and came up with some reasons why teens should see the upcoming exhibition Ryan Trecartin: Any Ever, opening at MoMA PS1 in June. Here are the 10 best reasons. Even if you are not a teen, these just might pique your curiosity!
Top 10 Reasons Why You Should See Ryan Trecartin: Any Ever at MoMA PS1:
- Trecartin notices the obvious and shows you in an indescribable way.
- Before Rebecca Black there was Pasta.
- It's a contemporary reflection of our modern youth generation.
- Because if you ever thought you were crazy, think again!
- Come watch the opposite of boring.
- It's like that crazy kid in high school got to make videos.
- Ryan Trecartin's work is always, always in the moment.
- He's more orange than Snooki!
- Come see angry teeny boppers duke it out!
- The New York premiere of recent work by a promising young artist. What more could you ask for?
The teens also created two Tumblr sites—ryanlifeguru and pastaquotes—about Ryan Trecartin. Check them out!

Me: I haven't shampooed my hair in
4 months 11 months almost 5 YEARS!
You: Are you freaking kidding me? (stunned silence) Gross.
Me: Not only have I NOT shampooed my hair in
4 months 11 months 60 months, it is healthier, shinier, and I only have to wash my hair every 4 days.
You: Seriously? You only bathe every 4 days?
Me: No silly. I only wash my hair every 4 days. I bathe regularly.
You: I gotta know more.
What The Heck Is the No Poo Method?
The No Poo Method is a way of washing your hair without shampoo.
There are various ways to No Poo, but the most popular is to use baking soda and a vinegar rinse. Oh yeah, did I mention that the No Poo Method is cheap as hell?
How Shampoo & Conditioner Work
To understand why your hair will love being washed via the No Poo method, you have to understand what regular shampoo does to your hair and scalp. Traditional shampoos are really detergents. They use chemicals to strip your hair and scalp of dirt and oil. Good right? Not really. Shampoo strips the hair shaft and scalp of sebum (the natural oils created by your scalp). So after you shampoo, you condition your hair. Why? To replace the natural oils in your hair that your shampoo has stripped away. The result, clean hair that has to be shampooed daily (or almost daily).
Why You Have To Shampoo Your Hair Daily (or almost daily)
Shampoo today and you'll likely have to shampoo again tomorrow. Why? Because the detergents in shampoo have stripped your hair, and more importantly your scalp of it's natural oils (sebum). You may ask, "Well, if the oil has been stripped away, why do I wake up with greasy hair in the morning?" The answer is simple – your scalp is over-producing sebum to replace what is being stripped away by your shampoo. It's a vicious cycle. Your scalp is trying to stay in balance – so it replaces the oils you washed down the drain – the result, oily hair that has to be shampooed and conditioned daily. On a side note, here's some food for thought: We all know that the shampoo instructions of "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" were created by the shampoo companies to get you to use more shampoo than you actually need so that you run out of product twice as fast – making you buy twice as much shampoo and increasing their profits twice as much. It's obvious to me that traditional shampoos use a formulation that requires daily use for the same reason. Unfortunately, it's all about the benjamins.
Why You Don't Have To Wash Your Hair Often When You Use The No Poo Method
When you wash your hair via the No Poo method you use baking soda to remove the dirt, oil and debris from your roots and scalp. Since baking soda is not a detergent the sebum your scalp produces doesn't get stripped away. The result – your hair becomes healthier as a result of not having the natural oils stripped away. Your scalp, now in balance, will produce less oil. You will find that you can go anywhere from a couple of days to once a week before you have to wash your hair again. It's really simple – less oil, fewer washings.
Why The No Poo Method is Great for Your Hair
It is important to remember that your hair will go through an adjustment period when you start using the No Poo style of hair washing. AFTER your hair and scalp are back in balance, you can expect:
- More Body
- Easier to Style Hair
- Less Oily Hair
- Less Frizz and Fly-Aways (Great for curly hair ladies)
- Added Shine
- SAFE for Dyed Hair
- GREAT for Grey Hair (commercial shampoos can cause grey hair to yellow – boo!)
- FEWER hair washings, as your scalp will no longer be over producing oils
- NO chemicals on your hair, scalp or washing down the drain (BONUS!)
- MORE money in your pocket, cuz let's face it, baking soda and vinegar cost pennies per wash (DOUBLE BONUS!)
- NEW hair growth (for some people) This has worked for me, and my stylist has noticed too. I have tons of new growth coming in. My stylist says it's because my scalp is healthier and my follicles are no longer clogged with oil and debris.
Get The Best Start On Your Journey To No Poo Nirvana
I've learned something I wish I had known when I started my No Poo journey…you need to clarify your hair before you start. Let me explain. Most commercial products contain silicones in them. Silicones are not water soluable so they aren't going to just "wash down the drain" – they are stuck to your hair and can cause damage.1 Silicones usually end with "zane" "xane" "cone" or "conol". Get your self a clarifying shampoo (Suave Clarifying Shampoo will work for this purpose and is cheap) for your final commercial shampoo wash. Follow the directions. Lather, rinse, repeat. You want to get all the silicone off your hair. This will help ease your transition phase and get you to No Poo Nirvana a bit faster. If you forget this step, never fear – it just may add a week or two to your transition. Wait until you would normally wash your hair again and then start using the No Poo method.
How To Wash Your Hair Using The No Poo Method
At it's core the No Poo Method is very simple. Use baking soda to remove dirt and oils from the roots and scalp. Use a vinegar rinse to condition the length of your hair. There are two basic methods to do this. I've tried them both with success. My favorite method is Method One – The BS Solution. I started with Method Two – Hair Paste, but it's hard keeping the shower water out of my little container of baking soda and I have more control when I use Method One. I also get that important "slippery" feeling when I use Method One more than when I use Method Two. (UPDATE: I've gone back to Method 2, I've found I now have better control and can get that "slippery" feeling more easily with method 2 – it's really what No Poo Method works best for you).
- Clarifying Shampoo (if you've used products with silicone in the past for your last wash before you start No Poo)
- Baking Soda
- Vinegar (Use Apple Cider Vinegar for Dry to Normal Hair, White Vinegar for Normal to Oily Hair)
- Water
- Squirt Bottle with Pointed Tip (use a mustard bottle or 12-oz. Squeeze Bottle)
- Spray Bottle
- 100% Boar Bristle Brush (optional) This is my favorite, (it's a bit pricey, but worth it) Olivia Garden Ceramic and Ion Turbo Vent Oval Brush (comes in 3 sizes). If you are an Amazon Prime member, standard shipping is FREE
- No Poo Hair Journal (I'll explain more on this below)
No Poo Method One – The BS Solution No Poo Recipe (favored by others, I prefer the Hair Paste Method)
- Create a solution of baking soda and water – 1 TBS of baking soda to 1 cup of water.Use distilled (not boiled) if you have hard water. Make sure the baking soda (bs) has completely dissolved. The solution should feel slippery in your hands (if it doesn't add another TBS of baking soda). Store in squeeze bottle.
- Create a solution of vinegar and water – 2 TBS of vinegar to 1 cup of water. Shake to combine. Store in spray bottle
- WASH: In the shower, wet hair and using the pointed tip of the bottle, apply the baking soda solution to the roots of your hair and massage into your scalp with your fingertips using a circular motion. DO NOT apply to the entire length of your hair. Leave on till it starts to feel "slippery". Leave on while you finish bathing then rinse WELL.
- CONDITION: Spray the vinegar/water solution on the length of your hair, focusing on the ends. Leave this on for a a min or so before rinsing.
- NOTES: Your hair will have no odor once it dries. You can add some essential oils to your hair brush to fragrance your hair if desired.
No Poo Method Two – Hair Paste No Poo Recipe (Updated)
(These directions have been updated 4/3/2013 cuz I'm a total dumb a$$ and realized that they were about as clear as mud previously….sorry guys!)
- Keep a small plastic container with a tight fitting lid full of baking soda in your shower.
- Wet hair really well.
- Scoop out about 1 TBS of baking soda (eye ball it) into your palm – your hands are already wet so the baking soda starts to turn into a paste right there in your hands.
- WASH: Get as much of the paste onto your fingertips and drive those tips right into your hair at the roots and massage your scalp really well. DO NOT apply to the entire length of your hair. Continue this over your entire head. You may need to grab some more baking soda to do the back of your head if your hair is really thick.
- Allow the baking soda to sit on your hair while you wash the rest of you.
- Check your roots…it should feel slippery and all if not 90% of the baking soda should be dissolved (very little, if no gritty feeling at all).
- Rinse WELL.
- CONDITION: Spray the vinegar/water solution on the length of your hair, focusing on the ends. Let sit for a minute then rinse.
- NOTES: Your hair will have no odor once it dries. You can add some essential oils to your hair brush to fragrance your hair if desired.

Don't expect no poo to be like washing your hair with shampoo. There is NO lather. It's weird at first, but you get used to it.
Don't be surprised if your hair feels like hay, straw, or cotton the first few times (days or weeks) that you wash no poo style. (I know, I know, it sucks, but the pay-off is worth it!)
Plan on wearing your hair up or under wraps the first week or two. In other words, when you start the no poo method, don't have a big meeting, date, or event where you need your hair to be perfect. I kept my hair pulled back and no one noticed. I kept asking everyone, "Does my hair look clean?" and everyone said, "Yes."
How to Deal with the No Poo Dry / Cotton / Waxy Feeling
- Deep Condition your hair with a NON oil conditioner. I used fresh aloe-vera gel and honey.
- Apply a tiny (I mean teensy – tiny) amount of coconut or jojoba oil to your hair after it has been washed and is dry. (add a few drops to your palms, rub in till there is just a light sheen on your hands and run your hands through your hair, avoiding the roots) NOTE: Coconut oil has a fatty acid that penetrates the hair shaft the deepest and provides the greatest benefit. Jojoba oil is most like our natural sebum and is great for hair and skin, but does not penetrate as deeply as coconut oil.
- Allow your hair to air dry.
- Put your hair up, pull it back, sport a new hat or wear a scarf.
- Brush your hair with a 100% Boar Bristle Paddle Brush (and clean your brush often). The boar bristles distribute the natural oils in your hair from root to tip. If you blow dry your hair, try a vented ion bristle brush.
- Use Method One (not Method Two) and increase the baking soda by 1/2 (or until the solution feels slippery in your hands).
How to Deal with the No Poo Oily Hair
If you end up with hair that feels oily, instead of like cotton here are some tips:
- Between No Poo washes, do a hot water wash. Simply wash your hair with the hottest water you can stand (don't burn yourself!). Dry.
- Increase the amount of baking soda you use when you wash your hair by 1/4.
- Decrease the amount of vinegar in your conditioning solution by 1/2.
- Switch from apple cider vinegar (ACV) to plain white vinegar if you are using ACV.
- Remember, don't apply your vinegar solution to the roots of your hair.
- Remember to rinse, rinse, rinse.
- Apply a dry shampoo to your hair. Blondes and Reds use corn starch or arrow root powder on your roots and brush through. This will absorb the excess oil. Brunettes use coco-powder if you find that corn starch or arrow root leave your hair looking "grey".

What is that Slippery Feeling When You No Poo?
Before I started to wash my hair No Poo style I must have read a million articles and comments all over the web. Then, when I actually went No Poo I read more. My hair looked and felt like, well – poo! I was not happy. This was not the holy hair grail I was promised. WTF No Poo people? Then I learned about "that slippery feeling". I don't remember which blog I was on, but I do remember it was in a long thread of comments that I read something about your baking soda solution feeling slippery in your hair when you apply it. Slippery? My baking soda solution had always felt dry and cottony on my hair. So I researched some more and found that baking soda acts as a natural water softener. I increased the amount of baking soda in my solution until I achieved the slippery feeling mentioned – VOILA – success! NOTE: If you are blessed with soft water your No Poo hair success will come faster than those of us with hard water. If you have hard water plan on having to increase your baking soda till you achieve "slippery".
Itchy, Flaky No Poo Head
If you start experiencing an itchy, flaky scalp do the following:
- Switch to Method One – The BS Solution (if you are using Method Two – Hair Paste)
- Decrease the amount of baking soda you are using
- Be sure you are rinsing the baking soda completely from your hair
- Do a scalp rinse with your vinegar solution to condition your scalp
- Try my Honey Aloe Moisturizing No Poo "Shampoo" Recipe for your next wash – Aloe is scientifically proven to help with itchy, flaky, no poo head.
Your Key To No Poo Method Success? The Hair Journal (added 3/13/2013)
Keep a No Poo Hair Journal. Get a spiral notebook, use an app on your phone, anything you'll keep up with and write down your journey. Keeping a hair journal will allow you to see what works and what doesn't. No Poo can be a "trial and error" experience. This will limit the amount of time you spend in the "error" phase. 🙂 It will help you remember how much you used when you washed and how long you've gone between washes. Your hair journal will keep the transition phase to a minimum. Things to track in your hair journal:
- Days since last wash
- Current condition of your hair (shiny? dry? over-conditioned? anything note worthy)
- Amount of baking soda used
- Amount and type of vinegar in rinse used
- Method used (solution or paste)
- Did the BS feel slippery?
- Results (after your hair dries, how does it compare to before you washed?)
- Tweaks / Notes (track any tweaks you've made to ratios of baking soda or vinegar rinse or any other notes you find important)
(Optional) Easing Into The No Poo Method by Going Low Poo for a While (added 3/13/2013)
If you are concerned about starting the No Poo Method and the dreaded transitional phase, I recommend going Low Poo for 2 weeks to a month before starting your No Poo journey. Going Low Poo first can help shorten your transition phase because it removes less oil than traditional shampoos. It's kinda the half way point between Commercial Poo and No Poo. Because Low Poo's are much gentler and don't have the same harsh sulfates and detergents found in commercial shampoo, your scalp can begin to slowly adjust before the "BAM" of a full-on No Poo experience. Learn More about Low Poo.
Herbal Rinses To Enhance Washing Your Hair No Poo Style
There are tons of herbal rinse teas to enhance your hair. Follow Method One or Method Two to wash your hair. Then, after you condition with vinegar and rinse with water, do an herbal rinse as a last step. Depending on the herbal rinse you can leave it in, or rinse with water. The rule of thumb is 1 tsp of dried herbs to 1 cup of hot water. Steep as if making a cup of tea. Allow to cool and use as hair rinse. You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the rinse to fragrance your hair. To stimulate hair growth and add shine (it also helps with flakes and dandruff) try this Rosemary Herbal Hair rinse.
Vinegar Smell Got Ya Down? Try A Citric Acid Rinse Instead
You can swap out a vinegar rinse (if you really have to) with a citric acid hair rinse. (NOTE: DO NOT USE ASCORBIC ACID) You can find citric acid in the canning section of your grocery store with the pectin and mason jars. The citric acid rinse has NO SMELL at all. It is also an excellent water softener so a great choice if you have hard water. Like the vinegar, don't get it in your eyes. Make sure you follow the directions below to obtain the correct dilution in your solution.
Why A Boar Bristle Brush?
No Poo is a great natural method for washing your hair. A boar bristle brush is another natural way to enhance your hair care. Boar bristle brushes range in cost from a few dollars to over a hundred bucks! Boar bristles distribute your hairs natural oils from root to tip, adding shine and helping to seal the hair shaft. The natural bristles are great for fine, or fragile hair as they will not tear or break your hair or cause damage. NEVER brush your hair when it is wet with any kind of brush. Wet hair is fragile and subject to breakage – run a wide comb through your hair when it's wet if needed. Boar bristles also help remove dirt and debris from your hair. The bristles themselves are like a tiny micro-fiber cloth, trapping dirt, dust, and debris trapped in your hair. Cleaning your boar bristle brush, for this reason is very important (dirty brush = dirty hair). You should dry clean your brush once a week (more frequently if you use dry shampoo) and give it a good washing once a month. Check out my post on the easiest (and fastest) way to clean a boar bristle brush. If your brush came with cleaning instructions – then follow those for best results. Unfortunately, my favorite boar bristle brush is no longer available (they aren't making it anymore – boo!), but this is a good vented bristle brush alternative.
After The Adjustment Phase – No Poo Nirvana
Congrats! You stuck with it! Your scalp and hair are now in balance. You only have to wash your hair every few days (or less) and your hair has never looked better! Keep up the great work, knowing you are going something great for your hair and for the environment!
Beyond The No Poo Method To Water Only Washes
What? Did she say "Water Only Washes?" Shut the front door!
Yup, after achieving No Poo Method nirvana many women find they can stop No Poo'ing and just wash their hair with water with the same beautiful results. How's that for low maintenance hair care? I personally have not reached Water Only Bliss (I actually tried it today and experienced an epic fail – my hair isn't ready for water only yet…but maybe one day!)
Not Ready For No Poo? Then Low Poo Is For You!
I can't say enough good things about Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo. If you have to use a shampoo of some sort, this is what I recommend since it is all natural and organic. I use it myself after I do a hot oil treatment on my hair (No Poo won't remove the oil from your hair, you have to use some sort of shampoo). This is a gentle, hydrating, shampoo. It still doesn't lather like a traditional shampoo, but it's more like what you are used to. I also love that it is made in the USA! So, if you have to wash your hair with shampoo, then this is the Low Poo for you!
What Makes Shea Moisture Low Poo Great:
- Sea kelp: Trace minerals detoxify hair follicles of impurities and residue
- Argan oil: Restores shine and rebuilds hair elasticity
- Shea butter: Deeply moisturizes and repairs damage to hair and scalp
- Ethically traded ingredients, sustainably produced
- Color-safe
- No parabens, phthalates, paraffin, gluten, propylene glycol, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, PABA, synthetic color, DEA, animal ingredients or sulfates (ick, yuck and no thank you)
- Cruelty free, no animal testing
- Certified organic ingredients
NOTE: Previously I had linked to Amazon for those wanting to try this shampoo. You can still get this shampoo from Amazon by clicking here.
Good Luck! Please let me know how things are going or if you have any questions.
What About Other Low Poo Shampoos?
3/13/2013 Update: Low Poo features sulfate free shampoos and conditioners – but WHOA they can be expensive! L'Oreal has come out with two lines of sulfate free and paraben free shampoos that are very inexpensive and a great way to try Low Poo without breaking the bank. You can learn more about Low Poo and my favorite (won't break the bank) line of Low Poo hair hair products. (Oh, and these aren't just sulfate free, they are paraben free too!)
No Poo One Year Later
The proof is in the pudding…here's my hair after a year of No Poo. (By the way, it's really hard to take a pic of the back of your head.)

Free Money Management Course Offers Simple Steps to Financial Freedom
Life South set to run CAP Money in March 2013
With holiday spending slowing down, Life South Church in Mangere is offering its free CAP Money Course to help local residents gain more financial freedom in the coming year.
This three-night course, developed by international debt counseling charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP), offers a smart, simple way for people to build, balance, and stick to their budgets.
Doug White, the Senior CAP Money coach who facilitates the sessions, shares that CAP Money is ideal for anyone who wants to discover how to do more with the money coming in, regardless if there's excess cash flow or a lack each month.
"The CAP Money course is so useful because it gives people control of their money, whatever their goals may be. During the sessions, they decide how much they want to spend and how much they want to save. And then, we show them the best way to reach these goals," explains Doug.
Over the 4 years Doug has been running the course, CAP attendees have seen significant results, including being able to pay down mortgages more quickly, take holidays and begin saving more per week.
Doug will lead the free, three-night course on consecutive Monday evenings: 11 March; 18 March and 25 March at Life South in Mangere.
"We're thrilled to once again offer CAP Money and help people better manage their finances," Doug shares. "Bring yourself and invite your friends and family—everyone will benefit!"

Padres, Maybin open to extension
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- Could a contract extension be in the works for Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin? A baseball source said Tuesday that the Padres and Maybin's agent have had dialogue about a contract extension for the 24-year-old center fielder, although nothing is "even the least bit close." Maybin is hitting .272 with eight home runs, 35 RBIs and a team-leading 34 stolen bases in 117 games this season. "That means a lot," Maybin said of the potential of a deal, following the Padres' 6-4 loss to the Giants on Tuesday. "They've given me a great opportunity. "When the season ends, we can discuss that more." Maybin was obtained from the Marlins in November for relief pitchers Ryan Webb and Edward Mujica. He's flourished as the everyday center fielder, not having to worry from one day to the next whether he was going to be in the starting lineup. "I'm having as much fun as I've had playing baseball in three years," Maybin said during a recent interview. "I can say that every day I'm blessed and I'm thankful to have gotten an opportunity to go out and show that I belong here." Maybin has already accumulated 4.1 WAR (wins above replacement), nearly double the total of 2.2 he had from 2007-10 with the Tigers and the Marlins "Good players make good coaches, and Cam has made us all look pretty good this year," Padres first-base coach Dave Roberts said recently. "He's a special player." Maybin, who is making $429,100 this season, won't be eligible for arbitration for the first time until after the 2013 season and will be under team control through 2015.

Sky Boy was released in 2009, early in J. Cole's rap career, however the date of when it was recorded is unknown. from his voice it sounds similar to that on The Come Up mixtape which suggests the song may have not made the cut for that tape.
The beat samples rapper Cam'ron's song "Dead Motherfuckers".
Although not assigned to any tape, it was included as track 12 on this fan made mixtape.

A series of online attacks has sent Sony
Corp. (6758) reeling.
The company first experienced a near complete loss of information from
its two largest customer databases -- the
PlayStation Network (PSN) database and the Sony
Online Entertainment (SOE) database. This week, five of its
international sites for its various units fell prey to SQL injection attacks
(affectionately nicknamed the "Little Bobby
Tables" attack) [1]
In an effort to reassure PlayStation users that
they are safe, Sony today made good on promises to provide American customers
with free identity theft protection. The registration page went live and
can be found here.
The service is provided by Debix, a private
Austin, Texas based credit monitoring firm. The product is dubbed
"AllClear ID PLUS". The service is available for PSN and
Qriocity (a music/video service) customers. To enroll they only have to
enter their email.
The page does not mention anything about
enrollment SOE subscribers (e.g. DC Universe Online customers). Foreign
customers are expected to receive similar services in some regions shortly, via
local providers. Sony warns customers that it may take up to 72 hours to
hear back Debix.
Governments are currently grilling Sony
internationally for its careless security, which endangered the privacy of
millions of individuals. While the PSN is
restarting in the U.S., Japan has forbidden
it to restart until more detailed information is given on the
company's security remediation.
The company faces returns
of its products internationally and class
action lawsuits from disgruntled former customers.
Sony is confident it will pay only $2 USD per lost
record from its various web properties. That's less than 1 percent of the
average payout of $318 USD per lost record (including class action lawsuit
settlements) that was the average in 2010. And in recent years the cost
of data lost has tended to increase by a factor of 1.5 each year. Clearly
Sony is hoping for some sort of miracle to save it financially.

…what would you do differently?
This blue sky question is part of the reason that more than a thousand emergency physicians gathered in San Francisco this week. Every country is at a different stage of EM development, but some have a relatively clean slate to work with. Take Dr. Jim Holliman for instance, the man in charge of EM development in the entire country of Afghanistan. Not only does Dr. Holliman have the chance to help a country start fresh with their EM strategy, he's here at ICEM hearing lessons-learned from more than 60 country delegates. In theory, someone like Holliman should be able to pick and choose the best elements of every system. Of course, that's putting it way too simply (particularly considering the physical danger inherent in many regions), but it brings up an interesting question that I'd like to pose to the blogosphere: If you were designing an EM system from the ground up, what are some specific elements from the American system that you would keep and what would you toss out like old garbage? And remember, we're talking about a clean slate. The sky's the limit.

|Climbed from Skala. Unfortunately the weather was not very nice so we didn't have any view from the top - everything was covered in fog and clouds. It was even slightly raining during the final section of our climb and on the way down.

|Olympus from Litochoro
Date Climbed: Sep 17, 2015
|Definitely one of my favourite climbs and favourite mountains so far and one of the few I've done in absolutely perfect weather. Started at Litochoro at 11am on 16/9/15 and walked slowly up the Enipeas Gorge taking time to contemplate the stunning surroundings. Arrived at Prionia around 16.30 and had a quick drink with a family I met at the Spring of St Dionysius before continuing on at 17.00 to Refuge A, taking two hours.
Continued the following day leaving around 08.00 with Chris, who I'd met on the train at Larissa station two days earlier. Great climb up to Skala and then Mytikas under perfect weather of blue skies - was great to be above the haze. Scrambling exposed just below the peak but straightforward as I'd had experience of the Watzmann Traverse and Zugspitze the previous year.
Spent around an hour on the summit taking it all in before returning to Skala and spending a further hour there with people who hadn't quite made Mytikas. Then slowly down to Refuge A again (quick snack stop) and down to Prionia by 17.45.
However I felt that since I started at Litochoro I'd best return there, so marched quickly back through the gorge (having admired it on the way up) returning to the bottom of the gorge at 20.30, aided by headtorch the last 30 mins.
A great climb and a great and varied mountain, my 5th country highpoint (following Wales, England, Scotland and Germany). Where else can you reach almost 3000m from practically sea level too - can't be too many places!

|Hiked up from Prionia in the drizzle and stayed at the refuge. We woke up to a fresh new dumping of snow and clear, cool temps. With no snow gear, we decided to give the summit a go. We were able to make the sub peaks of Skolio and Skala and had great views. Unfortunately due to snow and ice, we were not able to climb to the true high point of Mykitas. Going back, we went down a different way to make it almost a full loop.

|skala, mytikas and skolio
Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2013
|I climbed the 3 summits in a nice hot day. Don't underestimate this hike. It's quite easy up to skala or skolio with a very good path, but reaching top of Mytikas (the highest peak) is a bit more challenging. I opted for the skala - mytiks ridge and not the couloir since I didn't bring a helmet. I would advice rather this route if you don't have a helmet in case of stonefalls (unilkely but still possible especially if there are a lot of people on the way). The ridge might be slightly longer. be careful when reaching the foresummit of mytikas, you will have to go donw a few meters (précautions).
The view from the top is very nice.
I don't have much information but it seems attempting Stefani peak is even more challenging and requires a rope, there are 3 points where you can put protections). on the normal route as well, a short section before foresummit is protected will a short cable and you 'll find 3 protections before recahing the fore summit (it can be useful of course if the way is lsippery because of ice or perhaps rain).
Unfortunately, I didn't meet Zeus on the top... let me know if you happen to meet him!

|It was just stupid try, from Prionia to Refuge A it took 9 hours in deep and steep snow without snowshoes. Searching for the marks all the time. Trousers and boots were like icy tunnels next morning and we were really lazy to wake up early and then just gave up. After half an hour of descent I felt really bad because of it but going back would take some hours and in 1st of February wasn't enough light to do the peak and get back to Ref. A.

|After a long day through Enipeea Canion next day we gone to the peaks from the refuge A (our plan was to climb Mytikas from Louki colouir bat we heard that have at the base lots of snow and we didnt had crampons). We climb Skala, Skolio and then Mytikas. Very steap wow! When we got back from Mytikas before Skala we decide to go down direct to the path that detour all the peaks and get faster to the refuge but surprise, it was really hard and we find snow that we tried to avoid, wow was so scary, than when got to the route and again another suprise, we find snow that we couldnt pass without crampons.... so what to do? Going back up to Skala? No f.... way so we gone to the Muses Plateau hahahahah, wow so nice that Stefani, wow great!!!!!! Than on the short route to the refuge A. After we find out that climbers use that shortcut... it was marked btw. After refuge A we run down to Prionia hoping to find somebody to take us and wow we had such a luck, a couple took us till our hotel in Paralia Katerini woooooooooooow! That was great most that we for sure we ended sleeping in the bushes :)) :D! Another looooong day that finished with bad burns on our arms and faces :))!

|In August 2003, while on a hiking trip, we asked in the refuge if the summit of Mytikas would be possible for hikers? The guardian said yes, so we went for it, over Skala and Skolio, and it turned into a memorable and beautiful day - even though I cannot quite recall the exact date. An easy climb, sure, but definitely not suitable for hikers.
Probably my memory is deceiving me about the ridge, but I remember it to be wonderful solid rock, very ragged, which made for easy climbing, but big sheer drop offs to either side. Only on the last steep bit there were some loose rocks to contend with, especially because there were people climbing above us. If I were to climb it again, the ridge might not feel quite as exposed as I remember it now, but back then, it turned out to be quite an interesting 'hike'!

Centennial (Bakersfield, Calif.) quarterback Cody Kessler will end the recruiting process and announce his college decision in a press conference on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
The newly anointed four-star Rivals100 member and Army All-American QB is down to four choices, USC, Washington, Pittsburgh and Alabama.
Kessler was close to making a decision a couple of weeks ago before receiving a surprise offer from the Trojans. He came down to the USC campus for an unofficial visit on Friday, a gesture that could be a good sign for Trojan fans.
"It went really good," Kessler said. "I got to talk to (USC quarterback) coach (Clay) Helton, (head coach Lane) Kiffin and coach Monte Kiffin, and that was awesome."
Besides his trip to USC, Kessler has also recently visited UCLA and Washington.
Steve Sarkisian's Huskies were the clear favorite to land Kessler, but the offer from USC reopened his thought process.
Kessler developed a good relationship with the Washington coaching staff early on. He also likes the direction the program is headed, making Sarkisian and the Huskies a major contender in the Kessler sweepstakes.
Pittsburgh is another serious player that was on to Kessler from the beginning.
"Coach (Frank) Cignetti is probably the coach I'm to closest out of all the coaches I've talked to. I'm close to others, but I got along best with him when I was there on the visit," Kessler said. "Now I talk to him all the time, and Coach (Dave) Wannstedt is the same way. And I talked to all the players on the visit and we got along really well, too."
Reportedly Alabama is still on Kessler's list of choices, but from what he told Rivals.com's Shane Youngblood on May 3rd, the Tide wouldn't be taking a quarterback until after they completed their summer camp evaluations.
"Coach Mac (Jim McElwain) said Alabama has offered me and three other guys at quarterback, but they aren't going to take anyone until after summer camps," Kessler said. "He said once they find the ones they like this summer, it is really going to be whoever commits first out of the ones they like."
Stay tuned to USCFootball.com for live updates from the Kessler press conference and reaction from Kessler after he announces his decision.

The Sex Master can rearrange how people are sitting. He/She can also demand that the players take off some clothes. No more than two articles of clothes taken off for one person each time around the circle. The player must leave these clothes off until he/she becomes the Sex Master.
The Sex Master also can make anyone drink at anytime. The only down side to being Sex Master is you can not pair off anyone with yourself. You can not be caught making out with anyone when you are the Sex Master except when you roll a 7 or 11. If you roll a 2 when you are the Sex Master then you must drink and pick a new Sex Master. You do not get to kiss anyone at this time.
Doubles - split the dice up between two players (male and female) if they roll doubles then you drink the amount they roll, if they don't they drink the amount of what they rolled and they must kiss. You may not give the dice to the Sex Master!
This game is loads of fun. Enjoy!

IBM's 8-core POWER7 crams an amazing amount of hardware into about half the space of the competition. Its secret is that its large shared cache is made of DRAM, and not the less-dense SRAM that processors normally use.
Read the whole story
IBM still plans on MCM configurations with upto 4 dies per package. That'd be 32 cores per socket. High end systems using 32 sockets would have a 1024 coherent processors and 4096 concurrently running threads potentially. That is a lot of processing power for one logical system: 32 TFLOP at 4 GHz.
OK, now how stratospheric will the pricing be, and when can I get my new Power7 based workstation? I have a soft spot in my heart for 64 bit Power, almost as soft as I had for the old DEC Alphas.
Or will these be blade/cluster chips only?
Although Snow Leopard is intel only, you think Apple is making secret-ppc builds?
Let's hope that a derivative of this monster CPU is the chip used for the next version of the Xbox.
Next version of Xbox is powered by Cell and is called PS3.
"on-die L3 cache"
Where's the on-die L3 cache in that floorplan?
Power efficiency between this, nehalem, and magny-cours will be quite interesting.. four DP units is nice
The POWER processors are not used in the mainframe line. They are used in the p and i series (AIX and OS/400 line.)
So how much liquid nitrogen does it take to keep this thing running cool?
Amusing troll is amusing
"This is quite an achievement, and it reiterates just how strong IBM remains in the very lucrative mainframe market."
By mainframe, do you mean Z-server, P-server running AIX, or P-server running Linux. The mainframe market is not nearly as lucrative as it used to be. But IBM does seem to have succeeded in maintaining a good business rooted in its classic mainframe architecture System 3x0. Certainly, a decade ago, nobody would have thought that the Power architecture based RS6000 was a mainframe. Today, I suspect IBM is using the Power based chips for all of its proprietary servers. The old names were (AS400, System 390, RS600). They surely run Linux along with MVS on z-server. But the center of their mainframe business is presumably still large customers running much the same MVS workloads that they ran 20 years ago on System 380. Still it would be interesting if IBM has managed to build a business running Linux based large system workloads on a Power based P-server architecture.
What about the rumours that POWER7 would use (at least in one version) the G34 socket and interconnect scheme of Magny-Cours?
And, how much longer until AMD/GlobalFoundries (which has a tech-sharing deal with IBM) starts using eDRAM and can finally have a proper amount of cache in their chips without going bankrupt?
Z series runs on specialized and expensive to manufacture custom logic. If you want rock solid performance and massive uptime Z series is where it's at. There's a lot of work such as I/O taken on by dedicated hardware. The MVS MIPS market is tightly controlled, I don't think we are going to see a revolution in MIPS for the $$$ in this space.
Tukwila is only four core. Though each core does have 2 threads. Also, Intel only claims 30 MB of "total on-die" cache. To me, that includes L1 and L2, but most of the press seems to interpret that number as the amount of L3. Possibly because of a presentation of some kind.
Since it has almost half the # of transistors than a competing 8-core Intel CPU I would imagine it runs fairly cool.
@Digraph: Apple made it clear that since the start of OS X, 4+ years before the intel transition, OS X and all applications were coded against IBM PPC, Intel and AMD technology. They also made it clear should IBM ever offer a new compelling line, OS X might very well transition back, and the transition would be as smooth as moving to Intel was. We can expect Apple has continued to support both the PPC and intel code bases on all forthcoming technology. I would not be surprised at all to find out that in the bowels of Apple's data centers, P6.5 processors were running the core systems and databases with a custom build of OS X...
Look at the center of the figure: "L3 Cache and Chip Interconnect".
Except that the vast majority of the difference in transistor cound was in the L3 cache from
the use of eDRAM instead of SRAM. L3 typically consumes a few order of magnitude less
power per transistor than CPU core logic so the difference in device level transistor count is
basically meaningless in predicting relative device level power.
In the middle and between the cores.
Given the abandonment of the IBM Power architecture by Apple, it seems more than likely that POWER7 has abandoned all the Apple specific baggage holding back the architecture. So the chances of OS XI on POWER7 would be fanciful at best.
yeah, except for that whole "Snow Leopard doesn't run on PowerPC" thing.
Oops! Thanks for the clarification. I was going off of this line in the article:
Would love to see power and heat measurements from both Intel and IBM here.
You can pretty much guarantee that all the processor companies, including AMD and Intel, are going in this direction.
They have run into a GHz wall, and alternatives to speed up processing such as the Xeon Hyper-thread architecture turned out to be a bomb, so the only option left is to increase the number of cores.
You'll see it first in the high-end server architectures like IBM's because they can afford a large cost processor in their higher priced boxes. Then you'll see it in home machines a year or so later.
There is a gradual push by IBM to standardise on a single architecture - it is taking its time but it'll eventually get there. I'm looking for the road map but it is something like within the next 2-5 years when the transition will be complete.
No more fanciful than OS X on x86 was five years ago. There's no Apple-specific baggage in x86, there's no technical reason Apple couldn't internally maintain a POWER build of OS X, at least xnu and toolchain (and several good technical and strategic reasons TO maintain such a build).
Woops, I completely missed that. Thanks for the clarification
WOW... still the move to intel by Apple was for the best overall..but I cannot help but drool over the Power7. At least it is very likely that some sucessor of Power7 will end up in the next XBox... That should be cool.
Hmmm... I can't help but think, however, how hot does this thing run? Looking at botht eh G5 macs and XBox 360, it seems that IBM is unable or unwilling to do very much about heat characteristics.
With regards to Apple and the Power7, the fundamental problem still remains: Apple does not sell enough units to make it worth IBM's time to produce a custom family of processors.
If it was a matter of designing a chip to a single specification that is static for several years (like they use in game consoles), then it would be affordable. Unfortunately Apple would need speed boosts / power reductions every 6-12 months. This type of work could not be done for anywhere near the cost of Intel due to the Intel's economy of scale benefits.
My only esoteric point/question is the degree to which IBM has kept the "group" retirement schema ... it was never clear to me exactly to what degree Power6 kept it/implemented it, and at this point what microarchitectural evolutions Power7 gets from Power6 microarch haven't been detailed?
I think that one major reason for retirement groups is RAS however.
The eDRAM is slick, something I didn't expect. IBM rather seemed to be derogating eDRAM, nice to see it pop up with a vengence in an IBM-signature product. IIRC there were "some issues" with soft error rates in eDRAM so I assume IBM has them implemented with a lot of error-correction bits/capability.
WRT all the OOOOHHHHH-APPLE-PowerN ... not going to happen, for all the exactly same reasons it never happened back when Apple was PPC ... except for the development of the 970 ... aka G5. There are two issues here
* Power7 is really not optimized for typical PC work-loads, duh. Even a two core (8 thread) Power7 derivative would be a lot more threads and still not-great single-thread PC "performance."
* G5 was a market-situation anomaly ... very difficult to imagine any circumstances which would create the like today, particularly difficult to imagine circumstances which would wean Apple off x86 now. IBM did the G5 for Apple (Apple contracted with IBM for the G5 ... whichever way you want to say it) because the Motorola G5 project died when Intel hired off a lot of Moto's engineers in Austin in 2000 (and Intel paid Moto some undisclosed settlement thereafter ... but of course that did nothing to bring back the moto G5). Think something like this could happen to Intel? And then if it did, AMD represents a much simpler alternative vendor.
* Apple is heading toward ARM now, not PPC
Apple has very good reasons to keep all code ARM portable, and one might suppose they keep PPC ports perhaps ... but the "OMFG zowie CPU for Apple" never got anywhere before and there is even less likelihood now.
Speaking of a POWER7 core's backend . . .
I can't believe I'm the first to find that funny . . . I know it's a sexy chip but . . .
I believe that's not a "1 decimal" floating point unit, but a single "decimal floating point unit" (as opposed to a binary floating point unit). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's used by financial institutions for calculating monetary transactions.
Don't assume you can connect 32 MCMs.
POWER workstations? LOL.
All rumors come true eventually, except when they don't.
Heh. IIRC the G5 had the IBM-specific baggage disabled.
Well this pretty much puts the nail in the coffin of Sun Sparc.
Between Intel, AMD, and POWER everybody seems to pretty much have all their bases cover and I VERY much doubt that SPARC will be competitive with Intel and AMD in terms of price or with POWER in terms of performance.
Sometimes rumors are based on plans that change.
There have been plenty of POWER workstations... jeez ... Power5 workstations were pretty cheap too. I don't think there is a Power6 workstation ... yet???
You know, it depends on what "baggage" he is talking about... that comment could be pure tin-foil-hat (Anti-apple variety?) 'perspective' ... in which case it is pretty funny ... but there is one piece of "Apple specific baggage" the G5 was stuck with ... Apple's 925 northbridge (memory controller, which Apple designed in house, but part of the deal over the 970 was that IBM could use it for blades).
The 925 northbridge didn't support critical-word-first (which the CPU and it's FSB do) ... and the result of that in combination with the rather puny cache the 970 had, the large cacheline size (128 bytes) and the MP/fsb topology is that the 970 had distinctly worst-of-class pseudo-random latency ... which was/is killing in server applications.
Had that not been the case, the G5 might have found a wider market, might have survived ... but IMO probably not. But the latency problem also made the G5 a dog for a lot of 'PCish' problems where the data can't be streamed ... and Apple had nobody to blame but itself for that.
Pradeep, that what you talking about? Or maybe it is altivec aka VMX? If so, got news for you, Power7 does altivec ... does it just fine
Wes -- I presume your comment is wrt the "Amazon" memory stuff? You are certainly correct G5 didn't have it. The degree to which Power7 has this (and I presume it does) affects the degree to which Power7 can do a variety of Z-family workloads... I don't know how far down the "Eclipse" path IBM is or plans to go ....
OK, this is the first interesting news item all week. I wonder what Steve Jobs is thinking right now. Odds are he's (pushing it) out of his mind.
IMHO it's pretty boring news so far really, except for the eDRAM. We knew Power7 was coming, no real surprises so far except the eDRAM about 45nm Power7.
And I can't imagine this blips anywhere on SJ's radar at all, nor should it.
Don't get me wrong, from what i see IBM has a strong contender in the markets it wants to win. But this has no implications for Apple now.
OSX is based on BSD which is one of the most portable OS's ever developed. Snow Leopard could be recompiled for Power7 in an afternoon, the biggest technical hurdle would be the QA.
The reason there won't be any Power7 Macs will not be technical, it will be financial. Intel makes more chips, cheaper. They are good enough, and they give Steve Jobs the fat profit margin he needs. The bottom line here is the financial bottom line.
But one could imagine what it would be like to run an OS on that kind of silicon. You would need a lot of apps and threads to really put this beast through its paces. A couple copies of Mozilla, PhotoShop, and WinAmp aren't going to do it. This CPU is architected for heavy server loads.
- AndrewZ
I'd suspect that Apple still builds OSX against whatever modern CPU arch is available. Just because they are choosing not to make PPC box or ship PPC code, doesn't mean the OS isn't compiled and tested on other arch from time to time to "future proof" it.
And FWIW, Apple's switch to intel was mainly about Intel's ability to provide fast, power efficient chips for Apple's notebook line. A market IBM had no interest in. POWER7s are probably great, and may have been able to have been used in workstations with some minor fiddling, but there is no way they could get one into a laptop. Heck, they could never even get a G5 into a laptop.
A couple years back Apple claimed 60% of their sales were notebooks. I wouldn't be surprised if its even more now.
One interesting aspect of the Power7 no one has really emphasized is that
it is by far the biggest monolithic processor IBM will have ever brought
to market, 567 mm2. That is much bigger than the 341 mm2 of Power6 and
just a bit smaller than the 596 mm2 of Montecito/Montvale. Tukwila is the
biggest processor yet disclosed at 699 mm2 but keep in mind that it is
made in a very mature Intel 65 nm bulk CMOS process so defectivity will be
absolute rock bottom.
The Power7 will be made in IBM's new 45 nm SOI process with AFAIK very
little volume production under its belt. IBM has said it will release 4 and
6 core variants of Power7 in products as well as the 8 core flagship. Careful
watch of which parts get offered in which systems and at what price might
provide a clue of how that yield thing is working out for big blue.

Hey all,
Just had a quick look through the board, and I think it's cleared it up, but I'm not 100% certain, so I wanted to ask. When working with classes, does the 'private' keyword mean that any attribute in that section of the class, is only accessible to that class, and not any derived classes? Which would lead onto protected meaning any attributes accessible by the class in which they are declared, and any derived classes.
However, would a protected attribute be accessible by a base class? For example. Say you have a base class called Circle, and a derived class called Cylinder. Would a protected attribute in Cylinder, be accessible in Circle? I'm guessing no, but I want to clarify.
Thanks all,

Chess Match: Oliver gets mixed results
Lefty makes Randolph look good, bad in up-and-down stint
By Jim Street / MLB.com
As was the case in the first two games of this series, decisions made by opposing managers Willie Randolph of the Mets and first-year Dodgers skipper Grady Little figured prominently in the outcome of Game 3.
Time for a change
The situation: After scoring two runs, cutting a four-run deficit in half, the Dodgers had runners on second and third base with one out in the fourth inning.
The decision: When left-handed hitting Andre Ethier was announced as a pinch-hitter, Randolph replaced right-handed starter Steve Trachsel with left-handed reliever Darren Oliver.
The outcome: Ethier hit a soft line drive up the middle. Oliver caught the ball, turned and threw to third base for the inning-ending double play.
Well, on second thought...
The situation: The Dodgers had a runner on first base with two outs in the fifth inning when Jeff Kent came to bat representing the tying run.
The decision: Randolph, who could have brought submarine-artist Chad Bradford in to pitch to Kent -- the hottest hitter the Dodgers have and the most likely to hit a home run, stayed with Oliver.
The outcome: Kent hit the first pitch he saw from Oliver for a game-tying two-run home run to left field.
Take another approach
The situation: Kent's two-run home run keyed a three-run rally in the fifth inning that gave the Dodgers a 5-4 lead.
The decision: Little, who had used starter Brad Penny in relief in Game 1 and it didn't work out so well, went to Jonathan Broxton to start the sixth inning.
The outcome: Broxton surrendered a double, walk and single to the four batters he faced as the Mets regained the lead and never lost it.

Biologists and Conservation Officers from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) are conducting annual alligator surveys throughout the state to monitor alligator populations. These surveys are conducted at night along established routes, some as long as 34 miles in length, on 16 major river systems and lakes. Alligator population data obtained from these surveys were instrumental in successfully removing the American alligator from the endangered species list in 1987. In addition, the survey data have helped support the most recent expansion of alligator hunting opportunities. The deadline for applying for a 2012 alligator hunting permit is June 15th.

WRCC teacher wins FFA Advisor of the Year award
BRATTLEBORO -- All these years of getting his hands dirty has paid off for Dennis Hamilton.
In his 33rd year of education, the Windham Regional Career Center teacher was recently named the Future Farmers of America Advisor of the Year in Vermont for his work with the center's FFA group. Hamilton, 62, teaches courses in forestry, natural resources and machine operation and found out about his award in a letter a few weeks ago.
The FFA is a national organization aiming to help young Americans develop career, leadership and life skills in order to one day succeed in agriculture. The students Hamilton teaches in his forestry and natural resources classes are also members of the FFA group, along with other interested students in any of the center's agricultural programs.
Hamilton was invited to join a directors' luncheon at Vermont Technical College in Randolph, where he received the award.
"I told (those at the luncheon) it's pretty important," recalled Hamilton, who started teaching at the center in 1976 but left the profession from 1977-80. "These days, there aren't lots of accolades for teachers. I told them I really appreciated it.
"You don't hear it often enough," he continued, "that you're doing something positive for the kids."
Hamilton first got involved with FFA as a high school student in 1964. He said teaching at the career center is very rewarding because it enables youngsters to discover a niche or talent when they may not necessarily be the strongest academic student.
"I've had kids come up to me and say, 'I can't believe its November. This school year is going by so fast,'" Hamilton said. "They start to think, 'Maybe school isn't so bad.'"
He said many of his former students have over the years approached him and said the skills they learned in his classes and the FFA group gave them the knowledge and confidence to start their own business. Hamilton said that's a great feeling.
Michael Burnett, in his second year as the career center's assistant director, said Hamilton is a favorite among students.
"Dennis is a true teacher. Kids sign up (for the career center) just to take his class. ... He's more than a teacher. He's a big brother, a father, an uncle to some of the kids," he said. "He understands what it takes to be a well-rounded educator. ... He is a huge asset to the career center staff."
Hamilton has coached his students in the state soil contest for 17 years. He explained that the three best students at each represented school examine four soil pits and determine what the appropriate use of it would be -- for forest, agricultural land or commercial land.
He is also involved with the Winter Forestry Contest, which consists of students identifying trees by nothing more than twigs or bark and identifying bugs and insects based on the damage they leave behind.

Motorists continue to defy mobile phone law as numbers caught in Cambridgeshire rise by 16 per cent
PUBLISHED: 09:45 06 March 2014 | UPDATED: 10:48 06 March 2014
The number of drivers in Cambridgeshire caught using their mobile phone rose 16 per cent last month compared to the same month in 2013.
Cambs Police revealed today that 321 drivers were caught last month compared to 282 in February of last year.
Sergeant Chris Huggins said: "Throughout February, traffic officers took part in the 'Think' road safety campaign to target mobile phone offences.
"A total of 321 drivers were caught and they will receive either points on their licence, a fine or may be dealt with through an education programme."
He said the action last month was part of the Department for Transport's Think! Campaign, to highlight the real problems we have on the roads.
"Driving while using a phone is part of the 'fatal four' driving offences, along with speeding, not wearing a seatbelt and drink or drug driving," he said.
"It is disappointing people are still not taking notice of the advice we are giving and we will continue to enforce the law to ensure our county's roads are safer."
March's 'Think!' campaign will focus on seatbelt offences.
One of the worst months last year for catching motorists using their mobile phones whilst driving was July when 448 drivers were caught.

Trick or Treat: Now All You Need is a Bouffant

That looks more like Robert Pattinson than Edward. Edward Cullen would never wear chucks. Edward wears desinger clothes that Alice picks out. Those sunnys also look like ray bans, the glasses that Robert wears.ReplyDelete
I agree!!! The shirt, the sunglasses and the snickers aren't Edward at all!ReplyDelete

since when does edward wear converse. Yeah I agree, this looks like RPattz.ReplyDelete
Hmm, maybe I can be RRattz too because I own these clothes and have for many years. Only difference is I believe in a washing machine and the delights of actually using one (even if I don't technically wash my own clothes, gotta love laundry service.) I kid, I kid - not really.ReplyDelete
No!! don't want the bouffant. I want the eye candy:))ReplyDelete
Edward wore RayBans in Twilight - see the scene where he helps Bella out of the car and he puts his arm around her saying, "Well, since I'm already going to Hell.....".ReplyDelete
