Heading into last week's gun control vote, polls showed that nearly nine in 10 Americans favored background checks not currently required by law for gun sales--a rarely seen, overwhelming amount of support for a piece of legislation in Washington.
Now that the Senate actually failed to pass such a measure, a new poll indicates fewer Americans are angry about the unsuccessful bill.
On Thursday, the Senate voted on a number of amendments to a gun control package in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut elementary school massacre that left 20 children and six adults killed. One of the provisions--the one thought most likely to get passed--was a bipartisan compromise that would expand the background check system to include private sales at gun shows and online.
In a 54-46 vote, the Senate came short of the 60 votes needed to move ahead with the legislation.
But a new Washington Post/Pew Research Center poll suggests that post-vote attitudes stray from the wide support for the background check measure before the debate, which hovered around 85 percent in multiple polls.
A plurality of Americans—47 percent--say they are either "angry" or "disappointed" with the Senate's action on gun legislation, far different from the amount of people who strongly approved the proposal before the vote. Meanwhile, 39 percent say they are "relieved" or "happy" about the vote.
Looking further at the partisan breakdown, a little more than two-thirds of Democrats are disappointed or angry, and 22 percent are happy or relieved.
Only four Democrats voted against the amendment--all of whom are from states with large swaths of conservative voters. The four lawmakers included Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska, and Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. (Senate Majority Harry Reid voted "no" for procedural reasons that would allow him to bring up the bill again in the future.)
As for Republicans, the poll shows a slight majority--51 percent--say they are very happy or relieved, while just over one-third say they are disappointed or angry. GOP members of the Senate largely voted against the measure, with the exception of four senators: Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
Independents are more split, according to the poll. Forty-eight percent approve of the vote, while 41 percent disapprove.
Reid decided to shelve the bill, vowing to bring it back to the Senate floor once they feel confident that it could get more approval.
"We're gonna have time to work on what people want to do before we come back to this," Reid said last week on the Senate floor, adding that this option allows them to return to the bill without returning to square one. "It will only be a matter of time."
President Barack Obama, who strongly pushed action on gun control, condemned the Senate's vote, saying it marked a "shameful day in Washington." Speaking from the White House Rose Garden last week shortly after the amendment failed, the president vowed that this is only "Round One" of the fight for tougher gun laws.
The Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll was conducted April 19-21, with 1,002 adults interviewed by telephone. The sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Man arrested for knife threat
by Bend Weekly News Sources
BEND, Ore. – A 22-year old man police described as a transient was arrested Wednesday morning after he allegedly spat on the hood of a car in the library parking lot, then pulled a knife when he was confronted by the driver.
Bend Police officers were dispatched to the Bend Public Library at 601 NW Wall Street about 9:45 a.m. after 911-dispatch received a call from the alleged victim, David Ray Meddish, 40. Meddish, a Bend resident, reported that he had been threatened with a knife by a man on the sidewalk directly in front of the library, and provided to police a description of the suspect and another person who accompanied the suspect.
According to Sgt. Ron Taylor, officers located and detained both men upon arrival.
Meddish told officers he had been legally parked on NW Wall Street waiting for the library to open when the suspect, 22-year old Patrick McKinley Mills, and his friend walked by. Mills, for an unknown reason, allegedly spat on Meddish's car and didn't respond when asked why.
Meddish followed Mills and his friend to the front of the library and again asked the suspect why he had spat on his car. "At this point Mills produced a knife from his pocket and threatened Meddish with it," Sgt. Taylor said. The victim retreated to his vehicle and called 911.
Mills was arrested and transported to the Deschutes County Jail. He is charged with unlawful use of a weapon, menacing, and third-degree criminal mischief.
The second individual detained with Mills was not involved in the incident and was released, the sergeant said.

In the latest study confirming the benefits of red light cameras, camera-equipped intersections in Arlington, Va., saw red light running rates decline, with particularly large decreases for the most dangerous violations, those happening 1½ seconds or longer after the light turned red.
"This study provides fresh evidence that automated enforcement can get drivers to modify their behavior," says Anne McCartt, the Institute's senior vice president for research and the study's lead author.
The number of U.S. communities using red light cameras has grown to about 540 as study after study shows that the devices improve safety. For example, injury crashes at intersections with traffic lights fell 29 percent in Oxnard, Calif., after the introduction of cameras, and front-into-side crashes involving injuries fell 68 percent (see "Red light cameras yield big reductions in crashes and injuries," April 28, 2001). More recently, an Institute study of large cities with longstanding programs found that cameras reduced the fatal red light running crash rate by 24 percent and the rate of all types of fatal crashes at signalized intersections by 17 percent (see Status Report special issue: red light running, Feb. 1, 2011).
In Arlington, which borders Washington, D.C., cameras were installed at four heavily traveled intersections in June 2010. Each intersection got one camera covering a single approach. Following a 30-day warning period, the county began issuing citations carrying $50 fines for violations caught on camera. Arlington issued a press release when the cameras were turned on and then another when ticketing began. Signs were installed at the camera-enforced approaches, but nowhere else. In contrast, some jurisdictions place signs at their borders or on streets throughout the community.
To calculate how the cameras affected violation rates, researchers at the Institute, which is located in Arlington, videotaped traffic during the warning period, a month after ticketing began and again after a year. In addition to the four camera-enforced intersections, videotaping was done at four other intersections in Arlington — two on the same corridors where cameras were located and two elsewhere — to see if there was any spillover effect from the cameras. Four control intersections in neighboring Fairfax County, Va., which does not have a camera program, also were observed.
Percent difference in odds of red light violations at intersectionswith cameras vs. expected odds without cameras
One year after the start of ticketing, the odds of a red light running violation at the camera locations went down. Violations occurring at least 0.5 seconds after the light turned red were 39 percent less likely than would have been expected without cameras. Violations occurring at least 1 second after were 48 percent less likely, and the odds of a violation occurring at least 1.5 seconds into the red phase fell 86 percent.
"What these numbers show is that those violations most likely to lead to a crash are reduced the most," McCartt says. "The longer the light has been red when a violator enters an intersection, the more likely the driver is to encounter a vehicle traveling in another direction or a pedestrian."
At the two noncamera sites on camera corridors, the odds of violations also were lower than would have been expected without the camera program. As with the camera intersections, the further into the red phrase, the bigger the effect. However, these results were smaller than at the camera intersections and not always statistically significant. At the two other noncamera sites in Arlington, the odds of violations increased.
The lack of a broad spillover effect isn't surprising, given the modest scope of the program and accompanying publicity.
"Given the small number of cameras and signs, it's likely that many Arlington drivers didn't even know about the enforcement, while those who were aware probably knew the cameras were limited to a few locations," McCartt says. "We would expect a broader effect to emerge after a planned expansion brings cameras to more sections of the county this year."
The longer the light was red, the bigger the effect the cameras had, researchers found.

The Gadget Company's Quality department has been very busy this week with a customer request. Their failure analysis group has been asked to process a large batch of parts that failed at the customer's site and to provide failure analysis reports to determine why the parts failed. So far, the parts that the failure analysis engineers have processed failed from a variety of reasons – anything from a simple bent pin to a bad solder connection on the printed circuit board. Determine the full name of each failure analysis engineer, the name of the printed circuit board that the problem was found on, and the specific problem found for each part.
1. Don, whose last name wasn't Nichols, didn't find the broken wire problem. Lewis found the problem on the daughter board but it wasn't a bent pin.
2. Wayne Collins didn't find a problem on the processor board. The problem on the mother board was a bad part.
3. The engineer whose last name was Garnet found the problem on the power board. Wayne didn't find the problem on the controller board.
4. Ryan's last name wasn't Hart. The bad connection problem was found by the engineer whose last name was Flume but it wasn't on the mother board.
5. The five engineers were Steve, the engineer whose last name was Hart, the one who found the problem on the mother board, the one who found the bent pin problem, and the engineer who found the problem on the processor board.
6. The bent pin problem was found by the engineer whose last name was Nichols. The solder short problem wasn't found by Steve.

(Updates to include death of missing child)
By Ian Simpson
WASHINGTON, May 1 (Reuters) - Flood warnings were posted across the eastern United States on Thursday after a powerful storm system unleashed record amounts of rain from New England to Florida, and as the death toll rose from ferocious storms earlier in the week in the U.S. South.
The remnants of the storm that dumped up to 11 inches (28 cm) of rain in the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday had moved into the Atlantic Ocean by early Thursday, said Dan Petersen, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
"It's winding down pretty quickly," he said, but added that northern Florida and Georgia could get another 2 inches (5 cm) of rain before the system moved on.
Florida rescue teams took to boats to pull stranded residents from the fast-moving floodwaters after 11 inches (28 cm) of rain pounded Pensacola and nearby Mobile, Alabama, on Wednesday.
The downpour added to the water levels of streams and rivers already swollen from a tornado-generating system that killed at least 35 people and injured hundreds in the U.S. South over a period of three days. Alabama officials on Thursday estimated damage in the state at close to $6.7 million.
And late Thursday, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said that a child who had been missing in hard-hit Winston County was dead. Tornadoes and other severe weather on Monday resulted in 14 deaths in the state, the agency said.
Near Lake Charlene, Florida, state wildlife officers evacuated a 92-year-old bedridden woman trapped by rising waters, the wildlife agency said in a statement.
The rescue boat motor failed, so officers walked it down the flooded street, loaded the woman into the boat on a backboard and pushed her to an ambulance.
Severe storms in Florida were thought to have contributed to an explosion and fire at a jail late on Wednesday that killed two inmates and injured about 150 guards and other inmates.
Heavy rain in New Jersey, where a one-day record of 4.03 inches (10.24 cm) was set for Trenton, caused the Cooper and Delaware rivers to overflow.
In Camden, New Jersey, water rose several hundred yards (meters) onto the Delaware waterfront. Camden County rescue teams had to help save several stranded motorists, county spokesman Dan Keashen said.
"This was what we'd consider a five-year storm, but we're getting these annually," he said.
Flood watches were in place throughout the Philadelphia area, with numerous reports of road and bridge closings in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
Flood warnings were also posted around Washington and in Connecticut, where Bridgeport set a single-day record of 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) of rain.
Parts of Laurel, Maryland, were under water after authorities opened floodgates on Wednesday at a leaking Patuxent River dam, the city said in a statement.

The Major was so enraged he nearly did himself a serious mischief. "WTF should I pay for some bearded sociologist to spend a year visiting lap dancing clubs?!" he foamed. "When I go along with my chum Gomulka, we damned well have to pay for ourselves!"
As you will have seen by now, Leeds University is advertising for a sociologist to spend a year researching "the rise and regulation of lap dancing and the place of sexual labour and consumption in the night time economy." For which he will be paid £31 grand.
Well, actually, it won't be a He, will it? Definitely not. This job is part of a major new tax-funded industry which seeks to prove men are sex beasts who like nothing more than to commodify women and grind them into the dirt:
"The purpose of this research is to explore the rise, tolerance and integration of sexual consumption and sexual labour displayed through the erotic dance industry which symbolises the commodification of the female body in late capitalism. Examining how female sexuality has been commercialised and now merges easily with traditional forms of leisure in the city, provides a window into further understanding larger social issues such as the feminisation of poverty; the consequences of student debt and the impact of changes in Higher Education; the diversification of feminised employment patterns that rely on 'body work'..."Just get that language - "commodification of the female body", "late capitalism" (it's only a matter of time, sisters), "feminisation of poverty" (men don't get poor any more?), and student loans as a instrument of sexual oppression.
What's the point of it?
And more specifically, why should we have to pay for it?
Ah, well, think Commissar Harperson, think Fiona McTaggart, and think that huge police crackdown on sex-traffickers - Operation Pentameter 2.
Yes, you remember that one. Hundreds - maybe thousands - of police took part in coordinated raids on massage parlours and brothels throughout Britain. And the strange thing was, loitering on the pavements outside many of those establishments they found TV crews, handily placed to record the police leading the trafficked women to safety and the ugly male traffickers off to jail.
It was judged a great media success, thoroughly exploited by then Home Secretary Jacqui on that evening's TV bulletins (obviously this was before her own unfortunate entanglement with a commodifier came to light).
But needless to say, the reality has turned out to be somewhat different. In fact, of the 528 supposed sex traffickers picked up that day, not one - NOT A SINGLE ONE - was subsequently convicted of trafficking (OK, five were later convicted, but that was nothing to do with Pentameter).
So why did the raids take place?
It seems Jacqs and the others had convinced themselves there were 25,000 trafficked prostitutes working here (the figure quoted by notorious humbug Mr Bugs Bunny in 2007) - a massive problem that needed urgent action.
It subsequently turned out that figure had been made up by the Daily Mirror, but it might equally have come from a tax-funded organisation by the name of the Poppy Project. They have had around £6m of public money, and in 2008, they produced an alarming report on brothels in London saying they were employing thousands of women, many very young, from all round the world. The report was seized on by Harperson to justify further crackdowns - until it was pointed out that the report was so shot through with flaws and inaccuracies as to be useless.
Look, we all agree people traffickers have to be caught and locked away. Of course. And we probably all agree that prostitution would have no place in a perfect world. Sure.
But given where we are - ie stuck here in the real world - we shouldn't conflate prostitution and people trafficking. We could and should stop the traffickers. But there's no way we'll stop the sex industry, which we've previously estimated at $500bn pa worldwide (see here). And we don't want our militant feminist politicos getting us to make an attempt on the back of horror stories about traffickers.
There's one other thing we really really don't want. And that's yet another tax-funded industry devoted to convincing us we should spend yet another pile of money on something which is almost certainly impossible (cf the climate change industry).

Lost in the laundry list of Jaguars who'll start training camp on the PUP list is the reality that running back Maurice Jones-Drew won't.
A year after he skipped all of camp in a contract holdout, Jones-Drew will be ready to tackle a contract year after rehabbing a foot injury that required offseason surgery.
"Now it's back to football. It's a long time coming," Jones-Drew told reporters Tuesday, via CBSSports.com. He added that the team "will bring him along slowly" as he prepares for a season that will determine whether the Jaguars or someone else will pay him big money in 2014.
Jones-Drew also said that an incident from Memorial Day weekend that nearly resulted in assault charges is "totally behind me." Implied in that remark could be a concession that Jones-Drew reached a civil settlement with the man he allegedly punched, since the man made it clear he intended to sue.

Oh god, when will it stop? From the looks of it, never:
The Times tackles the Eternal Question, soliciting opinions on why, for women, impractical (and in cases, wildly impractical) shoes not merely persist but thrive. Of course, there are the sociological explications, the design perspective, the killjoy podiatrist listing a mind-numbing range of foot injuries. We all know the drill: to Greer, it's servitude. To Bradshaw, it's self-indulgence. To many, it's inexplicable. Fashionista versus frump, under all flags.
The range of comments following the article is equally representative, from those who just think they're beautiful, to those who feel empowered, to the superior woman who declares, "Never have and never will wear high heals. Happily married with no lack of lovers previously. Why would anyone want to wear high heals? If you need these to get attention maybe you need to look at the kind of attention you seek." (Sexual healing, maybe?) Others invoke the irresponsibility, given the health-care debate, of courting avoidable injury. And someone else declares that high heels
make women appear to walk like helpless little girls who can't walk or run away ( i.e. make choices) from men...These women look like they need a man to carry them because they certainly can't circumnavigate the world on their own. Run for a cab in those? Teach class in those? Take the stairs in those? Fight for your client in those?
And so the debate rages on: the sensible versus the defiant. Because there's no justifying heels; it's like smoking, only moderately less hazardous to those around you. And people wear them because they don't have to, in defiance of sense and economy. Now, we're primarily talking "fashion heels" here - although, come on, the McQueen shoes and their ilk are hardly representative any more than is a full-body lace suit sans undies. It's the runway.
But it's still a valid question, and shoes have become absurd. Why do we wear heels? I can only tell you why I do: I'm short. They make me look taller. I went through most of my life looking up to people, with companions having to walk in the gutter. Then I realized I could wear a pair of shoes and look people in the eye. That simple, and I'm sorry but that's a good thing. Men don't have the pressure to torture their feet? They also don't have the option of increasing their height. Well, not without a hefty side of ridicule (and the time poor teenage uncle D bought elevator shoes still looms large in family lore.) But that said, I make no claims to moral superiority, and I'd add to this that wearing heels is like riding a bike: don't do it if you don't know how. It's dangerous and stupid-looking. It's like heavy makeup - you only notice it when it's bad. There are plenty of us striding around comfortably whom you don't notice because someone's teetering by further down the block. I'm not saying you should run in heels - ankles etc. etc. - but I can, most of us can. Of course, I choose my shoes with care - for walking, chunky heels and, whenever possible, good engineering like the estimable Faryl Robin's. "Fashion heels", yes, but not just any! Sure, good ones are pricey, but it's not an area where you want to compromise, and if we're gonna come down hard on anything, surely it should be budget do-mes, with their lack of cushioning and flimsy heels! Caveat emptor, sisters. But for non-heelers: Don't like it? Don't do it. I understand that there's pressure still in some professional environments to don a heel (although surely fewer and fewer) but for most of us, it's a choice. Sometimes, in this world, we want to control our risks for a few hours. The further things move from necessity, the more closely they approach decadence and I suppose for the naysayers, Nero's fiddling as we blithely toss away the gains of our mother's generation. But there's something to be said for reclamation. And you know what? Some of us like the option of riding roller-coasters occasionally. Or, you know, appearing in surrealist operas.

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez: Truth Behind Their Sudden Engagement
Only days after a report claimed that Selena and Justin were wedding planning, she stepped out with a gold band on her left hand. So it was no surprise that we all began to wonder if they were actually planningto exchange vows!
Selena Gomez first sported a mysterious gold ring on her left hand on March 26 while speaking at the We Day conference in Oakland, Cali. Then, she was wearing it again at the KCAs on March 31. So, is that an engagement ring from Justin Bieber? Well only part of that is correct, sources told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber Engaged?
"They are not engaged nor are they getting engaged anytime soon. It was nothing more than a fashion choice," a source close to Justin told us exclusively after she showed off the gold ring at We Day.

The Gossip Table, Celebrity Gossip
While Life & Style reported that they were wedding planning, a source close to Selena, 21, told us that it was not true. GossipCop.com as well as other sources confirmed that the report was completely false. However, we can tell you that the ring was from Justin!
Selena made that same fashion choice just three days later at the 2014 Kids' Choice Awards on March 29, wearing the ring again — and we know it has something to do with how she's feeling about Justin.
"The ring was a gift from Justin," another insider added. "It's not an engagement ring, but they are back on and very serious."
Selena's Family Worried She & Justin Will Elope
Serious is one thing, but engaged is something completely different — but it wouldn't surprise her friends and family if they did plan to run away together.
"Her family is extremely worried that she'll do something crazy like elope with him," an insider told us. "Selena is totally wrapped back up in Justin, it's the same pattern happening all over again."
While they're worried she will begin partying again, she keeps telling her family that she's fine. However, no one thinks that the relationship is a good idea.
"No one in her circle is happy that she's back together with Justin, they've even talked about staging some sort of intervention to get her away from him but at this point that would only push her closer to him. Until he screws up again there's not much that anyone can do," the source added.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Justin & Selena should get engaged soon?

Celebrating Burns Night with a wonderful whisky and red onion marmalade
But what do you serve between the courses and to go with the copious amounts of whisky? Well, whisky and onion marmalade, obviously. Last year I made potato shortcrust canapés filled with haggis and topped with a rich shallot and whisky gravy. This year I re-used the shallot and whisky gravy idea, but in a slightly more substantial form, making this incredibly simple recipe up as I went along. Ideally, I would have served this marmalade with some crumbly Scottish cheddar cheese and coarse oatcakes. Sadly. I couldn't find oatcakes here, neither did I have the time to bake some myself. But crispy rye bread worked well, too, as did English cheddar cheese.
Red onion marmalade with whisky
Yields about 200 ml
500 grams red onions, peeled, halved and sliced thinly
3 Tbsp olive oil
100 grams caster sugar
salt to taste
about 2 Tbsp whisky, or to taste
Peel the onions, halve lengthwise and slice thinly.
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add onions and fry at a very low heat for about 10 minutes.
Now add the sugar and salt, stir, and continue frying gently for another hour. Make sure not to burn the onions, but caramelise them slowly.
When the onions have turned into a required consistency, then add the whisky (we used a 10-year old Glenkinchie, known as The Edinburgh Malt), stir and remove from the heat. Cool.
Serve with crispbread/oatcakes and Cheddar cheese. And whisky, obviously:)

Pille, thanks for sharing :) This is new to me. My mom used to make something similar to this using shallots, instead of red onions, and I would use this marmalades to marinate chicken and broil them afterwards, yumss :)

Roxie, of course I didn't forget!! I just kept psst about it:)
Jennifer - pity we didn't manage to meet up for that wee glass of whisky!
Melinda - I'm sure you would! This was an easy-peasy dish to put together anyway!
Melting Wok - this marmalade was a bit too thick for using as a marinade, but thanks for the tip!
Scott - there had to be whisky somewhere in the food, too! It was Burns Supper, after all:)
Baking Soda - welcome:)
Gracianne - onions and whisky worked well together indeed.

Most designs will be supplied in stores for right hand players, while left handed guitars are a little trickier to come across. Fortunately, musicians now have access to more of these than ever before. According to statistics, 1 in 9 people use their other hand. Sometimes, you will find that many right-hand guitarists will favour the alternative approach. For this reason, efforts have been put into coming out with another option. Strumming with your favourable hand is usually the best way to go, and all guitarists know this. There are many online retail stores all over the web supplying brand new alternative-hand models to anybody who is in need. Budding guitarists should check out the many sources all over the internet. You are likely to find a variety of specialized acoustic and electric instruments for a reasonable price. Additionally, many people also attempt to track down various second-hand services to purchase from. There are many left hand musicians online who want to give away old instruments for a little cash. This way, the doors open for quality alternative hand equipment at lower-than-average prices. At the same time, you could always opt for one of the many high-street music stores that supply around your town or city. It is crucial that you know who to purchase from. To know this and be sure, be careful when it comes to past customer reviews, credentials, and differences in pricing. Study what is available to you so that you feel safe when making your purchase. left handed guitars can be found all over the place. Just be sure to get your research done and select the appropriate service based on personal preference. This way, no matter what hand you prefer to play with, learning the guitar becomes easy. You can visit the website http://www.xlguitars.com for more helpful information about left handed guitars.

My husband stepped on my new 6-1/2" x 24-1/2" Creative Grids ruler. He put the pieces on my sewing chair with a note and promised to replace it for me. He could have just hidden the pieces, and I would have assumed I "lost" it somewhere, but he didn't. He understands that my tools are as important to me as his are to him.
Question: The longer piece could be straightened out to a 12-1/2" long ruler and the smaller piece can be cut to a 6-1/2" square. Does anyone have any ideas about how to cut the plastic that this ruler is made from? I was thinking I might be able to do it with my Dremel.

|The dreaded word verification
There are many options for changing how your readers can submit comments to your blog. The first is the Comment Location option, or how your readers will see the Comments box. You have four choices:
1. Full page - It opens a full-size page where the commenter can see the full post, other reader comments and a block for entering their own comment. I tested this option on my mobile and it defaulted to the embedded comment option, rather than changing to a full page.
|Full-page comment option
|Embedded comment box
|Pop-up window.
Under the comment settings you can also determine who is allowed to comment. The options include anyone, Registered user, User with a Google account and only members of the blog. Each option gets progressively more selective as to who can comment. I like allowing anyone to comment, that way I don't force someone to get an account they don't want just to make a comment on my blog. Of course, this means that "Anonymous" users (read: Spammers) are allowed to comment.
The next option is comment moderation. This allows you the option to always, sometimes or never moderate comments. If you choose "always" or "sometimes" (for posts greater than X days old) moderate, the comments will be placed on hold until you approve them for posting via your Blogger homepage. I have mine set to always moderate which means no spam comments make it to my site (and therefore my readers that are following comments). This also means that I never miss a comment. It is a little more work, but I hate spam!
Last, but not least, is the Word Verification option. I'm sure you know how mine is set!
What options do you like for comments settings?


text: Hello Beowulf list. Some of you may remember me from earlier in the summer. Well, after nearly a year of lurking, I'm back! As a background update: I'm at the University of Waterloo, studying math in a program called Computational Math [solving problems computationally, sound familiar? haw haw haw]. I'm taking a good variety of courses [Maths, CS, Physics, and French]. I've gotten through my first semester OK, and currently I'm living near Toronto on my 4-month Co-op work term. I just read this article, <http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/physx-hpc.ars>, and it has rekindled my desire to get started in parallel and multi-threaded programming. By now, I'm plenty comfortable with Linux [had to compile a custom kernel to get Linux to work on my desktop because the hard drive controller didn't have drivers in the kernel], and I've got access to lots of old and cheap computers. I've got even more computers waiting for me, with remote access, at my dad's house [more specifically three dual 2GHz Xeon rigs with a gig of Rambus DRAM each]. Before I fully entrench myself with getting the cluster setup, I want to make sure I can at least write some trivial parallel code that I can USE on my cluster. Thanks to all your earlier emails, I've got a good list of little problems I can start out with, not to mention problems from my math classes. My question now is, how? Please let me know if any of these are FAQs or Google'able, I'm a capable RTFM'er but I just haven't found answers to these questions yet. Do I really need MPI/OpenMPI/OpenMP/PVM? If so, does that mean I should suck it up and learn Fortran/C/C++? Or can I just devise my own message passing system to help me parallelize the workload? For example, TCP sockets were mentioned. In my CS class I learned Scheme [a dialect of LISP], and I know Scheme can work with TCP sockets. It has also gotten me very interested in the Functional Programming paradigm [but is it ideal for parallel programming?]. If possible, I'd like to stick with Scheme for now, as it'll make my CS class coming up this summer all the more interesting. Speed isn't what I'm worried about right now, I just want to get started thinking about and writing parallel code. Thanks for your help!

Nintendo Wii U Teardown - Photos and Video
We go inside the Wii U
Last night after the midnight release of the new Nintendo Wii U gaming console, we did what any self respecting hardware fan would do: we tore it apart. That's right, while live on our PC Perspective Live! page, we opened up a pair of Wii U consoles, played a couple of games on the Deluxe while we took a tri-wing screwdriver to the second. Inside we found some interesting hardware (and a lot more screws) and at the conclusion of the 5+ hour marathon, we had a reassembled system with only a handful of leftover screws!
If you missed the show last night we have archived the entire video on our YouTube channel (embedded below) as well as the photos we took during the event in their full resolution glory. There isn't much to discuss about the teardown other than what we said in the video but I am going to leave a few comments after each set of four images.
OH! And if you missed the live event and want to be apart of another one, we are going to be holding a Hitman: Absolution Game Stream on our Live Page sponsored by AMD with giveaways like Radeon graphics cards and LOTS of game keys! Stop by again and see us on http://pcper.com/live on Tuesday the 20th at 8pm ET.
During the stream we promised photos of everything we did while taking it apart, so here you go! Click to get the full size image!
Getting inside the Wii U was surprisingly easy as the white squares over the screws were simply stickers and we didn't have to worry about any clips breaking, etc. The inside is dominated by the optical drive provided by Panasonic.
Continue reading to see ALL the images from our Nintendo Wii U Teardown!!
There were two ribbon cables, one for the front panel and one for the optical drive, otherwise the extraction of the hardware was pretty easy using a combination of tri-wing and Philips screws. You can see the fan on the rear of the Wii U exhaust, a bit bigger than the one found in the original Wii.
The front panel is pretty plain and you can see the front USB ports, SD card reader and slot loading optical drive bay.
More on the optical drive and then two of the four different antennas inside the Wii U for WiFi and the custom video stream to the gamepad.
The other antennas and the tape job for wires. The fan is removed and the top shroud.
While the heatsink is kind of large over the multi-chip module it is incredibly light made entirely of aluminum.
The underside of the PCB has some more shielding as as well some loosely attached brackets on the side to facilitate securing screws.
Some initial shots of the PCB including the Nintendo logo.
There is a Panasonic chip here with the markings "MN864718 219P3162" and though I couldn't find any information on it we are guessing this is a video processor that may be sending the signal to the LCD on the gamepad. We also have shots of the new MCM with the IBM PowerPC CPU and the AMD GPU under the heatspreader. No, we didn't have the tools to remove the heatspreader though we have seen photos directly from Nintendo for that. The MCM includes not only the two processors but also on-chip memory all on a single substrate.
UPDATE: Anandtech actually took a razor blade to the heatspreader on the Wii U processor to reveal the silicon underneath (image link) and you can clearly see the AMD GPU (larger chip) and the IBM CPU (smaller) built using 40nm and 45nm process technology respectively. A very small die is likely some of-chip memory.
A close up of more of the antennas.
This first module is a Hon Hai Win-B2 Bluetooth controller.
Here are some more images of the MCM / processors as well as the gDDR3 memory, K4W4G16446B-HC12, rated at speeds up to 1066 MHz, each with a capacity of 4Gb, for a total of 16Gb / 2GB. (PDF Source.)
This secondary Samsung chip is an 8GB NAND flash chip that makes up the internal storage for this Basic version of the Nintendo Wii U. The Hynix H27U8G8G5DTR is an ePROM likely used for the BIOS/boot controller.
The module with the grey/black wires is a Hon Hai Win-A2 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapater while the modules with the red and grey wires is a Hon Hai MIC-B2 and is a dedicated WIFI 11n device, like used to stream the video the the Wii U Gamepad.
UPDATE: We have confirmation from Polygon.com that this controller does in fact power the gamepad, utilizing a version of Miracast:
"The technology, co-developed by Nintendo and wireless and broadband communications giant Broadcom, marries run-of-the-mill Wi-Fi with a powerful bit of proprietary software to create a two-way stream of low-latency, high-definition video and controls between the Wii U and its innovative GamePad.
That complex suite of software is designed to mitigate interference and deliver a smooth video signal and communication speeds, said Dino Bekis, senior director of wireless connectivity at Broadcom.
The technology is built on top of something called Wi-Fi Miracast, which Broadcom first developed last summer. It's a system that is specifically designed to deal with interference issues while maintaining liquid fast two-way communication.
Broadcom and Nintendo then teamed up to create a more solid system for the Wii U-to-GamePad connection."
Finally, some more shots of those same modules.
Well, that's it! We wanted to take apart the Wii U Gamepad as well but weren't able to because we didn't have the correct size tri-wing screwdriver. I'll give a couple of shops a chance today but I'm not holding much hope for that - check back here to see if we succeeded!
Thanks to everyone that joined us on the live stream last night and don't forget to check back at PC Perspective for more events coming soon!!
Video News
Wow did I understand correctly it has 16GB of ram? That really shows just how cheap ram is now. Thank you guys for the tear down!
No, 16Gb (Gigabits) = 2GB (Gigabytes)
Aww man, how did I miss this? Encode faster!
Full video is up now!
The teardown was made a story on slashdot
yay internals.
Don't see what makes it cost so much.
The console it's self could not have cost more than $120 to make (at least if you look up the models for the memory and other components that were not custom made)
Leaving the rest of the money for the controller (which is probably worth at most $40 especially since there are $50 android tablets
PS if you are using the kit lens for the 7D (or a lens within that range), you get better macros by coming in a little to avoid edge blurring, then increase the F value a few notches, then use either a bright lamp or a ring flash (if using more natural light or non flash, then using a setting like f8 aperture, ISO 400 or 200 depending on the lamp, 1/50 shutter speed
Or if locked onto a tripod, Lowest ISO, 1 second shutter speed, and the highest f value you can get without under exposing (and only increasing the shutter speed if the image is over exposed).
Also make sure that camera raw is enabled as when dealing with anything that may have shiny components,you will always lose details in the highlights and camera raw retains literally 4-5 times more detail in both highlights and shadows (in terms of how many stops of latitude you have in the image as compared to jpeg)
Thanks for the tips.
As for the pricing, I think you might be low balling it quite a bit. Things like $50 Android tablets have the crappiest of touch screens and this one seems much better than that, even though it is still resistive.
$50 android tablets do not have capacitive touchscreens. HUGE difference.
The Wii U gamepad has a resistive, 480p, LCD screen. Those $50 Android tablets have screens on par with the Wii U gamepad, but the Gamepad doesn't have its own internal RAM, GPU and CPU.
Supposedly half the Wii U's hardware budget was spent on its tablet controller; roughly $140 for the hardware and $130 for the Gamepad, with the rest of the budget going toward retailers, manufacturers and licensing fees. Huge mistake, I say, they could've released a beast of a console instead of this disappointment.
This is the first generation a Nintendo console isn't my focus, I actually bought a PS3 that's coming to my place on Tuesday because I've given up on Nintendo ever releasing a good piece of hardware ever again. The 3DS was a disappointing abomination, the Wii U is currently a disappointment... they're gonna have to start bombing financially if they're gonna see that they're making big mistakes. Real fans would call for Nintendo's failure, that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Nintendo said they were taking a loss on every console sold initially.
seems weird that they would lose money at the price they are charging. I understand that it will take a while to cover the R&D cost but the actual build does not have many expensive components. It is just hard to see where the cost is coming from in that system. I used a display model and the display on the controller is not very good, especially compared to a device like a nexus 7
(though it may not look it, it is comfortable to use)
To me i really feel that they could easily knock off $100+ from the price and still make a profit.
2GB DDR3 @ 800MHz.
The question is: how much bandwidth does it gain from the eDRAM?
I don't know if we'll be able to tell you that unless we get an answer from Nintendo or AMD.
Insects have antennae. Radios have antennas.
"For multiple aerials both plural forms are acceptable in scholarly works. The Latinate plural, antennae, is rarer in less formal settings."
The proper pluralisation of the root antenna is antennae. Antennas is acceptable because "Every plural in English ends in -s" and so it has come into common usage. The only reason antennae is more associated with insect antennae is because botanists are happier with applying latin to everything.
Both are correct, both will be understandable, being anonymous makes you a jerk.
*biologists not botanists >_<
People likely to study insects.
This may be the best comment thread on our site, ever.
I don't know... it... bugs me? }: D
to the cpu and gpu, they do not know if its 45 nm cpu and they deffently do not know if its 40 nm or 28nm for gpu. Most likely its 28nm gpu, menaing with the measurments its a radeon 7770 while the cpu could be a 32nm since the plants to build that type of processes were operating starting in jan/feb 2012.
So, with what i have seen, i think that the PS3 and the XBOX 360 (i own both) have way better hardware that this... so thanks for showing me this, now im positive im not going to buy a wii u, and to note, and seen this think that the wii u real price should be half of the actual one or lower but thats my opinion.
So in your opinion did it worth buying a wii u?
Don't buy it for the hardware, buy it for a unique experience.
I think most analysis shows that the GPU is faster in the Wii U than in the Xbox 360 or PS3 though the CPU is maybe even, maybe a bit behind. Either way though, Nintendo will likely be a distant third when the new Xbox/Playstation come out next year.
i really wouldnt say distant 3rd i dont see a wii to ps3 happening again unless there going to make the console cost 500 to 600 dollars again and im hearing the wii u has a good gpu so we'll have to wait and see good video btw
Its not that hard to outpower the current generation of consoles in EVERY aspect, Nintendo is so screwed... The cpu is like the brain of the console here.
were u able the check the voltage of the power brick? will it work in european regions?
Where wii u will shine in terms of hardware is the low cost of the hardware, low cost of power, low cost of heat, and extremly low latency. read this article to see how low latency = 6 times perfomance boost without the aid of another core http://www.examiner.com/article/wii-u-delivers-incredible-performance-th...
Other advantages it will have over the other next consoles is its support for devs, especially indie devs. Nintendo is providing the cheapest of the consoles right now for devs/pub to develop on and is very easy to develop on. Not to mention the 1 year head start that wii u will have over the next 2. Which bigger game library, games developing on it first before the other 2, potentialy a price drop without losing money on the sales to the console, and perhaps all the features they promise to have in the future will be up and running by then and smoothed out.
Dude. No.
The Wii U certainly isn't cheaper than the PS3 or 360 and it's roughly comparable to the two in technical specifications, but Nintendo's online infrastructure is a joke compared to Sony's or Microsoft's. If you're an indie developer, you make games for a Sony platform for the Pub Fund initiative and easy-to-work-with publishing rules or you make games for smartphones.
It's one thing to claim that your platform is indie-friendly and another to actually *be* indie-friendly. Nintendo is not an indie-friendly company. They said with the 3DS that they didn't want "garage developers" making games for their system, and it was only when Sony publicly claimed that indies are the backbone of our industry's innovation that Nintendo changed their tune. They want to SEEM like they're indie-friendly, but in reality they're just incompetent fools who can't put out good hardware, who milk their franchises worse than anyone in the industry while being less creative than Activision or EA and who coast off nostalgia and mediocre products with high profit margins.
This isn't the Nintendo I fell in love with as a child and grew up with, with is some freakish bastardization. Don't you try to spin things as if they're better than they really are, coddling Nintendo only enables their mediocrity.
I was wondering do you plan to disassembly the controller too?
I am really interested in seeing that.
Please let me know if you plan on doing it :)
Hoping to find a screwdriver for that today...
The 12 stands for 1.25ns which means that they're 800Mhz components (DDR3-1600)!
Any picture of the bd drive pcb??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
well in fact, people who specialize in the study of insects are called entomologists.
just sayin':D
i watched the teardown, thanks guys, keep up the good work.
Holly poop that CPU is small! Anandtech measured 30mm2. That's about as big as a single core Atom, and both are based on 45nm. With three cores, each core would have about a third the transistors as the Atom core. There is only so much you can do with such low transistor budgets.
I love how everyone here is thinking about PCs when they are talking about the CPU and GPU. Consoles are different than computers. It has alot more to do with architecture then raw power, since each game made for the system is optimized for the hardware provided.
Sort of, but at the end of the day hardware is hardware and its relevant to compare apples to apples.
I believe nintendo is onto something special with the Wii U.
I may be wrong but isnt Microsoft just making a tablet add-on for the 360 called xbox glass or whatever... (NOT A NEW SYSTEM)
I think the Wii U is gonna have a serious front line run in First place for the next 3 years..
Sony is becoming another Sega after the flop on their handhelds and now the ps3 being looked at as a step under the 360 because it basically has all the same games give or take a few and the few exclusives don't boast anything special.
Rant over..
I seriously think that Sony's gonna can out in the console race.. Microsoft is gonna move back towards the Application Users with strictly Tablet based products.
So yea...
Long Live Nintendo and it's about time they got the motion controls down pack and were able to add good graphics, a tablet style controller and all the functionality of the other consoles but with better shaders and visual depth.
Take a look at Batman on the WiiU compared to ps3 and 360.
Point made.
good job
So if i understand completly this is like having a good 2007+ computer with a good 7770 in it... (if its about the same then this is far better then ps3 or 360. As far as i know. graphic never made a game good. gameplay is what makes a game good and i see full of potential in the gamepad. I know nintendo gets greedy sometimes but they do get some good things out.
The Wii U is probably my last console ever and probably the one i will actually like as a console... xbox got lame and buying a ps3 after u just got a beastlike computer feels really shamefull. If they make a souls game (demon's souls/darksouls) on Wii then this console will have won the fight
Wow! Taking apart the Wii-U looks like loads of fun! I kind of want to take apart mine now... If I understand correctly I will need a tri wing screwdriver and will have to buy it online at a site like this http://nintendoscrewdriver.com correct? I have heard that you can't really find them anywhere else online.
As for the competition from Sony and Microsoft I actually think the Wii-U will fair pretty well against the PlayStation 4 and X-Box one. Only time will tell. Can't wait to take a look inside the Wii-U myself! :D

6" Inch Series Spherical Plain Ball Bushing Bearing With Seals
|Part No.
|In Stock
Spherical bearings utilize inner & outer rings with spherical sliding surfaces. They can accommodate heavy radial and axial loads at the same time. Suitable for supporting hydraulic cylinders to structures that can warp or twist.
A standard spherical bearing requires lubrication and maintenance. This style has hardened sliding surfaces with lubrication holes and grooves on the inner and outer components to be used for regular re-lubrication. This design also is sealed around the sliding surfaces to limit contamination that would cause premature wear. These bearings are especially well suited for heavy loads in different directions, heavy static loads, or shock loads.

*** (out of four)
Some people will see "Project X" and lament the state of America's youth. The booze! The drugs! The boobs!
Almost everyone else will want to jump in a time machine set to their 18th birthday, and then jump into the screen. The party at the center of "Project X" isn't just a party; it's an experience. It will amuse, excite, sicken and exhaust you.
Hey, no one who wanted to be legendary played it safe. And "Project X" [bleeping] goes for it.
In this sloppy mess of proudly irresponsible behavior, Thomas (Thomas Mann) just wants to celebrate his 17th birthday with a few friends—50 tops. What his best pals Costa (Oliver Cooper) and JB (Jonathan Daniel Brown) have in mind looks more like hundreds upon hundreds of high schoolers and recent grads—including "Footloose" co-star Miles Teller as himself—taking over residential Pasadena as if it were Snoop's house, with all the liquor and narcotics and skin that implies. Thomas doesn't want to trash his parents' house, but consequences play little factor here. Social status and female attention is the goal, and the sheer quantity of debauchery makes "Superbad" look like a day at the beach.
"Project X" isn't for everyone. And nobody should favor the use of homophobic slurs and jokes made at the expense of people with disabilities. Surely no one's going to quote "Project X" to their parents or give a damn about the storyline, which separates female characters into "hot and friendly" and "hot sex object." (Although the movie does feature one of the sexiest onscreen tequila shots in recent memory.)
I'd be lying if I said "Project X" didn't feel honest in its excessive, unifying destruction as seniors let loose like there's no tomorrow and envious younger kids work security as if they have a chance of keeping things under control. Grab your pimp cup, hold onto that zipline and be glad to say that you were there.

If not, then simple rdtsc based timing is going to be unreliable. (It's possible of course, with many repeated tests and outlier elimination to disregard the tests where the thread switched core). I know the TSC isn't synced between cores on dual core Opteron, it's not synced on plain SMP (multiple sigle-core processors) and given that the dual core Xeon is pretty much just two Xeons shoe-horned into one package, I doubt it would be synced there. (But, as always, would love to be corrected, should I be wrong :) gettimeofday() is definitely a very good suggestion. -- / jakob

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
US Secretary of State John Kerry returned to Israel on Wednesday amid local concerns that his boss, President Barack Obama, intends to impose a peace settlement on Israel and the Palestinians that ultimately serves American interests.
America has switched from a "third-party trying to bring the two sides together, to a role of direct involvement in the process," Zahava Gal-On, head of the left-wing Meretz Party, said after meeting US and Palestinian officials earlier in the week.
"There will be a new diplomatic program, based on the pre-1967 lines with agreed land swaps," Gal-On added matter-of-factly.
In greeting Kerry upon his arrival on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was worried about the direction the current peace talks are taking.
"I see the Palestinians continuing with incitement, continuing to create artificial crisis, continuing to avoid historic decisions that are needed to make a genuine peace," said Netanyahu, who earlier in the week charged that the main obstacle to peace is the Palestinian leadership's refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist.
Kerry, however, reiterated his belief that the negotiations are going well and progressing as planned. There are certainly difficulties and challenges, the American conceded, but "I am confident of our ability to work through them. That's why I'm here."
Hours before Kerry's arrival, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met for the 17th time since the renewal of peace talks last summer. But the session quickly deteriorated into a shouting match. "The Palestinian-Israeli negotiations broke down during the session on Tuesday night," a Palestinian official told France's AFP.
The current main issue of contention is the Palestinian demand to begin negotiations with the understanding that Israel will surrender nearly 100 percent of Judea and Samaria, including the Jordan Valley and the eastern half of Jerusalem.
Israel insists that there will be considerable land swaps to incorporate large Jewish settlements inside Israeli borders, that the border of a future Palestinian state will be along lines that provide Israel with the greatest security, and that Israel will maintain a military presence in the Jordan Valley.
Last week, Palestinian negotiator Yasser Abed Rabbo blamed Israel's focus on the future security of its citizens for the impasse in peace talks.
"They [Israel] want security first, and that the borders of the state of Palestine should be set out according to Israeli security needs that never end, and that will undermine the possibility of establishing a sovereign Palestinian state," Rabbo told AFP.
Given the number of times that enemy nations have attempted to annihilate the Jewish state, and the unprecedented amount of terrorism the country has endured, Israel maintains that security must be its first priority.

Improving standards of safety and repair in private rented property, including Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), as well as giving advice to owner/occupiers and public sector tenants.
Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS)
The Housing Health and Safety Rating System was introduced within The Housing Act 2004, to address some of the issues of health and safety in homes. It is a comprehensive assessment of 29 hazards and their risks to the occupiers, reinforced by statistical data and evidence.
For the full version of the Operating Guidance please click on CLG - HHSRS Operating Guidance
For a Landlords guide please click on HHSRS - Guidance for landlords and property related professionals
For information about Houses in Multiple Occupation, please visit:
Retaliatory Eviction
From 1 October 2015 the Deregulation Act 2015 provides tenants with tenancies starting on or after 1 October 2015 with further protection from eviction where they are living in houses where there are unsatisfactory housing conditions. For the additional protection the below steps need to have been followed:
- Inform the landlord in writing that conditions in the property are unsatisfactory, please see letter 1 and 2 to landlord below
- The landlord does not respond in 14 days or the response is unsatisfactory
- The tenant complains to Nottingham City Councils Safer Housing Team
- The Safer Housing team serve the relevant notice
- The landlord will not be able to serve a s21 notice to quit for 6 months of the service of the relevant notice
Please click here for further information on the Retaliatory Eviction regulations.
Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
From the 1 October 2015 landlords will be required to provide smoke alarms on each storey of the house where there is a room which is used wholly or partly as living accommodation.
Landlords will also be required to fit carbon monoxide alarms in rooms which contain a solid fuel burning combustion appliance and are used wholly or partly as living accommodation.
These alarms need to be kept in good working order and checked at the start of each tenancy.
Where landlords fail to comply with their duties the Safer Housing team will be able to serve a notice requiring remedial action. If this is not complied with then a penalty charge notice can be served.
Further information on the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms regulations.
Please be aware that fitting battery smoke alarms does not mean you are compliant with fire safety under the Housing Act 2004 and further works may be required. For further guidance on fire safety see the LACORS Fire Safety Guide.
Empty Homes
Empty homes can be a real eyesore and cause problems for neighbours. We track down empty homes, trace their owners and try to persuade them to bring the properties back into use.
To report a privately owned empty property, please contact Environmental Health.
Caravan Site Licensing
All caravan sites must be licensed. The conditions that we impose as part of this license are based on standard Government guidance but will be changed to make them specific to the site.
If you wish to apply for a licence you will first need to ensure that the site has planning permission for that use. It may be useful to liaise with us as well as planning at this stage so that we can ensure that all relevant standards are agreed together. To make an application for a licence please contact us with a detailed plan of the site layout and , we will discuss the application with you in more detail if we have not already done so.
Apply for a caravan or camp site licence or to change and existing license.
